This is Beluga, a large Great Pyrenees. He was an inmate in the kill shelter in Cullman, GA when we were working on saving Charlie. When Charlie was taken by another rescue, Great Pyr Atlanta asked us to sponsor Beluga instead, which we did. They pulled him from the shelter, put him in foster, and them found a great family to adopt him! Here's what the shelter had to say about him: Beluga is the ultimate big dog that thinks he's a small puppy. He is very loving and wants so badly to be with people. He cries when we put him up. At play time, he would rather walk alongside the volunteers rather than forge ahead on his own. We believe he is probably 3-4 years old. This was a guess based on looking at his teeth. He does like to jump up, which can be a problem because he is very powerful. Hopefully this is a behavior we can correct. I am 5'10" and when he stands up, he is at my shoulders easily. He is very gentle when he does this but it could easily knock someone over. He was adopted a few months back and we found him wandering as a stray. The adopters were called and they surrendered him back to us. I want him to find a home that is prescreened and understands the breed so he never has to be put through this again. He is still very trusting of people despite his ordeal. He has been neutered and his shots and rabies are current.
