Meet the Great Pyrenees

Three Great Pyrenees mix sisters gained quite a social media following as they were spotted off and on for months living on their own between Niles and Three Oaks. Until the Putnam family finally coaxed them into their barn and brought them to safety. The Putnams had their matted fur trimmed, took them to the vet, brought them indoors during storms, and provided hours of bonding time each day so that the dogs could learn to trust again.

After exhausting all efforts to find their previous owners, these sisters came to live at Paws. They are curious, active and doing well as a now vital part of our farm life. They do not like being inside, and so have made a good home in our barn together. Keeping them safe and together is our priority. They love us, and we love them. They fit right in with the other dogs and animals that live here.
