Whisp

Introducing… the incredibly handsome and Pyr-fect boy, Whisp! Whisp is a 1-year-old, 65 lb Great Pyrenees with a gorgeous coat and zest for life! He came to rescue with a broken calcaneus (heel) that had been injured for several months. Because of this, he will always have a hitch to his giddyup, but he doesn’t let that stop him from enjoying life to the fullest. He can still climb stairs, jump into a vehicle, and run with the best of them! He is a playful, goofy puppy who loves other dogs, toys, chewing on bones, and being outside. He’s perfectly housebroken and takes treats very gently. Whisp would adore another playful canine companion and/or an active family in his forever home. Whisp is a Great Pyrenees mixed with something goofy and fun. He’s a lovable bug requiring a physically fenced yard, someone home more often than not, kids 10+, and sofa and bed privileges. He wants to be as close to you as possible and will follow you around from room to room and settle next to you for the day. He has not lived with cats before, but he does like to chase woodland creatures so a home without them is probably best. He is a Great Pyrenees mix which means he will bark at the wind blowing through the trees and other things he believes you need to be saved from. Whisp is currently located in Chester County, PA, and can travel anywhere within a reasonable distance.

We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
