About Butterbean
Butterbean is 5 months old and looking for her forever family! She is growing quickly and would love a home who loves big fluffy dogs!
This cutie is Butterbean! Butterbean and her siblings were taken in from a goat farmer who could not manage so many puppies, and they are all now looking for their forever families. She is a 5 month old Great Pyrenees puppy who had only lived outside or in a barn for the first part of her life. Interested applicants should expect her to be big, and should be prepared for that sweet and independent Pyrenees personality... to know the Great Pyr breed is to love them, but they are not Goldens, and we suggest you do some research on this beautiful breed before applying! The "Butter" puppies all will need a secure above ground fenced yard as Great Pyrs love to be in their yard to protect and patrol, and this happens best when they are in a secure space. Please note the GRRAND puppy guidelines:
Puppies are a lot of work, and if you are interested in a GRRAND puppy and have children, PLEASE SEE THE ADOPTION FAQs section of the website for more detailed info. GRRAND policies stipulate a few important things that may stop you from applying, and here are 2 big ones-
A: GRRAND will NOT place a puppy under the age of 6 months with families with children under 6 yrs old
B: Any applicant with children under the age of 16, will require a home with direct access to a securely fenced yard... meaning direct access to the yard from the home… so this means no apartments or condos
Apartments and condos can also be tricky for adult only households, as puppies can be whiny and loud, and may make too much noise for the neighbors, but GRRAND will allow as long as the apartments are on the ground floor with direct access outside as house training a puppy from a 3rd floor apartment will be a challenge.
This sweet girl is in a foster home now and here is what they have to say about her:
"She is a total love bug with people but seems selective when choosing dog friends. Butterbean has a sweet temperament and lives with our 6 year old and 10 year old children and they all just love eachother! She is new to us, so we will update soon"!
Butterbean will be looking for a home with a fenced in yard and a family with LOTS of time and patience to socialize and work with a puppy so she can grow up to be a good girl! ***Exercise and direction are a must as a tired puppy is a good puppy!! It is a lot of fun, but it is a lot of work, and if you don't have the time, an active and non-stop playful puppy may not be for you!
Families must understand there needs to be constant supervision as children of all ages need to learn to respect an animal and puppies, and need to be taught boundaries. We are excited Butterbean is in a foster home and finally getting to know what a nice soft bed, in a warm and cozy home with a loving family is all about!
