Champaign County Animal Welfare League (dog)
Trixie is a 2-year-old Great Pyrenees, an owner surrender because she barked in the middle of the night. Anyone adopting a Great Pyrenees should know that Pyrs bark! They bark more than other dogs and this is why they may not do well in tight-knit communities. According to Indy Great Pyrenees Rescue, “Asking a Pyr not to bark is like asking a fish not to swim. Pyrs are bred to bark to keep potential animal and human intruders away. Our Trixie is very sweet and gentle, as well as quite beautiful. Trixie is wonderful with dogs, cats and children. Because of the nature of her breed, she will require a fenced-in yard. A saying among those who love the Great Pyrenees is “an off-leash Pyr is a disapyr.” Trixie is house-broken and an overall perfect dog if you can understand the nature of her breed. She is spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested negative and current on all preventions and vaccinations.
