Great Pyrenees
Advocates of Texas

Cara is a sweet, sensitive Great Pyrenees mix that has overcome so much in her 4 short years of life. Rescued from the shelter euthanasia list, Cara came to us with trauma caused by abuse from her prior owners. Cara and her foster families have worked very hard over 10 months to help her overcome fears related to her abuse. 

Today, Cara has gained confidence in knowing that life is not scary and all people are not bad and want to hurt her. A warming up period is important to Cara and helps her feel safe. Once she feels comfortable with new people…she is sweet, kind, loving and loves to be petted and snuggled. Cara is a quiet, laid back dog that prefers snuggle time on the sofa over high level activities. A romp in the yard with people she loves and trusts followed by a sofa snuggle fest is her idea of a perfect day.

Cara is potty trained, she is not a fan of crates and will do best with a calm, quiet family without a lot of activity or new people coming and going within the home. It takes Cara a bit of time to feel comfortable around new people. She is mostly fearful of men but once she trusts they won’t hurt her, she adores them! Cara initially retreats when she’s uncomfortable but is still curious and interested in making new friends. Cara is good with other respectful dogs, cats and older children. 

Cara is a gorgeous girl with a warm heart and beautiful soul that has survived a rough life prior to being rescued. Now is her time to shine and achieve greatness in a forever home with a patient, loving family that’s willing to continue the work to help her increase her confidence and provide the home she deserves.
