Henry is a handsome 2 year old neutered male great pyrenees who weighs about 80 pounds. He is a big lovable guy who loves to lean in for love or jump up for a hug. He is housebroken and walks ok on leash, loves to go on walks and hikes. He loves being with people and does well with other dogs. He would do best with someone home alot. Henry can resource guard which is typical of the breed especially when in a new environment and easily manage by feeding him in his crate, don't leave food or high value items within his reach on table or counter. Therefore we will only place home in an adult home that has experience with the breed and willing to work with a trainer. Henry has alot of love to give and deserves to have a family of his own. His foster family has graciously offered to sponsor his adoption fee to help find him a furever home.Please visit our website for more info on our adoption process and adoption application www.barkdogfarm.org
