Hello all you wonderful people! My name is Wallace, I'm a neutered, 4 year old Great Pyrenees mix that weighs about 93lbs. I'm a gentle and stoic boy who is very true to my breed. I would love to find a family with a large yard for me to roam. My new family should be familiar with guardian breeds like me; we are known, not only for our beauty and size, but also for being independent minded (aka stubborn) and having a gentle nature but with protective instincts so we require a dedicated owner. I love jerky treats and will lay my head right on your lap for some treats and snuggle time. I'm still working on understanding what being on leash means and will need a patient handler and a consistent routine to help me find my footing. My friends here at PHS have been helping me practice going for walks and I've improved but still have some work to do. For the moment I would do best in a home with older kids and no dogs while I work on learning all these new skills. For more information, just ask Customer Service about Wallace ID#A958365
I recently went on a walk with a PHS Volunteer. Here's how I did:
Wallace was SUCH a good boy this morning! I know there is concern that he will stall on walks but today this good boy walked all the way down Rollins for about a mile and was actually walking at a pretty good clip. He would have continued if I hadn’t turned us around. I was so pleased with him! He seemed super happy and energetic. We went to the yard afterwards but he really just wanted to snuggle with no interest in toys. I sat with him for a while back at his dorm and he literally just put his head in my lap so I stayed a while to give him that human contact. He really is very sweet and just loves his person and attention. Wonderful boy!Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.
You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays). We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around!
