Great Pyrenees Rescue Montana

Meet Pecan: The Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold!

March 2025 - Pecan has spent 2 weeks at a board and train where he learned basic training. He is being kenneled at Woof Haven in Missoula, MT where he is playing with other dogs. He is taking correction from other dogs well. He is barely over a year old and needs a strong owner who can help him become more confident. He loves hiking! 

If you're looking for a big-hearted, lovable goofball with a lot of potential, look no further than Pecan! This handsome Akbash/Great Pyrenees mix is just over a year old, UTD on vaccines, neutered and ready to find his forever home. With his majestic size and sweet demeanor, Pecan is a true gentle giant in the making – but he’s got a few quirks to work through, and we know the perfect person can help him shine even brighter!

A Little About Pecan: Pecan is a smart, eager-to-please boy who has already shown he’s a quick learner! In just an hour with a trainer, he mastered sit, leave it, stay, leash control, and even heel! His intelligence and drive to learn will make training with him an enjoyable experience, especially with someone patient and consistent. He’s got the potential to be an amazing companion!

Pecan’s Personality: While Pecan is a sweetheart, he does have a little bit of resource guarding when it comes to food, water, and toys. This is something we’re working on, and he’ll need an adopter who is committed to helping him through this. With the right guidance, we know he’ll overcome it and become even more confident and secure in his new home.

Pecan is also a bit of a rough-and-tumble player! He loves his canine pals but doesn’t always understand his own strength. His playstyle can be a bit much for some dogs, so he’ll do best in a home with a confident dog who’s okay with a little rough housing.

Pecan’s Perfect Home: If you’re a patient, dog-savvy person with a love for big dogs and an enthusiasm for training, Pecan just might be the perfect fit for you! He’s currently being kenneled at Old Farm Kennels in Florence, MT, but he’s available for overnights, fosters, or walks to get to know him better before taking him home.

He’s ready to show you just how sweet and smart he is – all he needs is the right person to help him reach his full potential. Are you the one?

Pecan is waiting for you!
