If you've been desperately waiting for a Pyrabear to grace your life, and by "desperately" we mean scrolling through endless adoption pages and asking yourself, "Is this the one?" — well, congratulations, the wait is over. Meet Aspenne!
Aspenne is a stunning 6.5-year-old, 80lb Great Pyrenees who’s basically the full package. She’s a seasoned adult, so you can definitely count on her being potty trained — because let’s be real, at her age, she’s too classy to go in the house. And no, she won’t be chewing everything in sight like a puppy with no boundaries. Nope, you can leave this girl alone and the only thing you’ll come back to is more fur tumbleweeds despite just sweeping before you left. That’s her gift to you. You're welcome. Aspenne is kennel trained, but let’s be honest — she doesn’t need it. Her manners are so perfect, she practically deserves a medal. She does great with free roam of the house, but let’s not kid ourselves — you got a Pyrabear, and with that comes all the perks. The looks, the size, the noble temperament... and, of course, the unmistakable need to serenade you with the "song of her people." She’s not the non-stop barker type, but she will absolutely raise her voice to alert you that a cricket farted or a butterfly flapped its wings. So, while you might not think it’s necessary, she sure will. Consider yourself warned — her voice will make appearances when you least expect it. ;)
Aspenne gets along famously with other dogs, cats, and kids. She enjoys a good romp with her canine friends, but don’t expect her to be the energizer bunny of playdates — she’s more of a "play a bit, then nap for 6 hours" kind of gal. She did meet a cat at the groomers once, and, in true Pyr fashion, just gave it a “meh” and moved on with her day. Because, you know, why bother with something so beneath her? She’s also pretty chill with kids, as long as they understand one very important thing: respect her space. She’s not a fan of being laid on, smothered, or feeling threatened — she’s a queen, not a human jungle gym. Aspenne loves meeting new people, because who wouldn’t want more fans to tell her how gorgeous and good she is? She’ll happily give you her paw (a.k.a. the Pyr paw—if you didn’t catch that, it's a subtle nod to our rescue’s name), and she'll offer herself as tribute for ALL the pets and attention. And sometimes... just sometimes, she might throw in a surprise hug. Not every time, because let’s not get too predictable, but she likes to keep things interesting.
If you're someone who dreams of a dog to take out and about with you, congratulations, Aspenne just knocked that one out of the park for you. Picture her sipping a puppuccino at the café, living it up at the human bar and dog park, and just generally being the fabulous, classy lady she is while visiting friends. You won’t even have to endure the usual drama of getting her into the car. Nope, Aspenne will hop right in, no questions asked. Sure, she might try to claim the shotgun seat because, well, she’s Aspenne, and why wouldn’t she want the best view? But with a tether, she’ll be content to watch the world go by from the backseat. Now, if you're more of a stay-at-home type, don’t worry — Aspenne is totally cool with that, too. She’s as happy chilling in your cozy abode as she is out and about. She’s been on walks, and not only does she love them, she gets genuinely excited when the leash comes out. She’s a pro with a harness and will happily take you on some adventures, but her idea of a good time is definitely a mix of playful outdoor zoomies and indoor cuddles and naps. As for fetch, well, let’s just say you’d have a better shot at convincing a cat to play Monopoly with you than getting her to fetch. Toys? Eh, not really her thing. But, she will happily gnaw on a delicious bone. And hey, if you live in an apartment, guess what? Aspenne’s totally cool with that. She’s a calm gal who wouldn’t mind apartment life, as long as someone’s around to tell her how fabulous she is, take her on walks, and, of course, indulge her love of car rides.
So, you’ve fallen head over heels for Aspenne? Well, aren’t you just the luckiest person alive.

Once we’ve got that, we’ll send it over to her foster family, and then it’s time for you to pack your bags and head to Yukon, OK. Yes, Yukon — the home of Garth Brooks and, apparently, the perfect place to raise country music legends and glorious Pyrabears. It’s practically a pilgrimage. So fire up the GPS, grab a coffee for the road, and get ready to bring home your future best friend. She’s worth it... even if you leave with a sudden craving to blast "Friends in Low Places" on repeat.
