Meet Dango

Age: Approximately 3 years

Breed: Great Pyrenees

Weight: About 75 lbs (and could stand to gain a few pounds)

Personality: Gentle giant, affectionate, thoughtful, and endlessly sweet

Good with: Dogs, people, livestock, and just about every living creature he meets

Dango is everything people love about Great Pyrenees dogs. He's calm, kind, observant, and carries himself with the quiet confidence of a dog who believes it's his job to look after everyone around him.

Recently, Dango met a 3-day-old peacock chick and gently kissed it, leaving all of his rescuers completely smitten. That's just who he is. He approaches the world with kindness and respect, whether he's meeting a tiny baby bird, another dog, or a new person.

Like any proper Great Pyrenees, Dango enjoys roaming and keeping watch over his surroundings. He would love a home where he can embrace his natural instincts as a guardian, whether that's watching over a family, a yard, or even livestock. He loves all living creatures and is remarkably respectful when another dog asks for space.

At around 75 pounds, Dango is a little thin and could use a few extra meals to get him back to a healthy weight. Once he fills out, he'll likely be over 80 pounds of pure love.

How a dog this gentle, beautiful, and good-hearted ended up lost in the world is beyond us. What we do know is that whoever adopts Dango will be gaining a truly special companion.
