Meet George and Piper, a wonderful bonded pair ready to fill your home with a unique blend of calm devotion and joyful energy! George is a majestic three-year-old Great Pyrenees/Saint Bernard mix, weighing in at 112 pounds, with a quiet strength and soulful gaze. Piper is a spirited two-year-old Pharaoh Hound/American Pitbull Terrier mix, a compact 31 pounds of pure sunshine and affection. They have been together for 15 months and have formed a beautiful, supportive bond. George's early life was tough, but he has blossomed with his foster family, learning to feel safe and loved. He's a gentle giant who prefers to be near his people without demanding constant attention, offering deep, quiet affection. Piper, rescued from neglect, is a bundle of joy and resilience. She loves to play, cuddle, and greets everyone with infectious enthusiasm. She's house-trained, crate-trained, and knows several commands. Piper adores George and helps him relax and play, while George's calm presence centers her.
Ideal Home
George thrives in a calm, structured environment where trust can be built slowly. He needs ample space and is not suited for apartments or small condos. Piper is adaptable and enjoys activity but is also content to relax. She is wonderful with children and other dogs. While she may need slow introductions to cats or small animals, her gentle spirit suggests she'll learn with patience. Piper is sensitive to loud noises and would appreciate a safe, cozy retreat during thunderstorms or fireworks.
Ongoing Health

Training & Support
George is house-trained, leash-savvy, and knows commands like sit, down, shake, easy, and stay. He responds well to clear routines and gentle guidance. Piper is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows sit, down, and stay. George had one fear-based bite incident when a visitor moved too quickly into his space and patted a sensitive area. He also snapped (without contact) when a new person leaned in face-to-face in an unfamiliar environment. A professional trainer evaluated George and confirmed he is not aggressive but a sensitive dog who needs space and time to feel safe. His trainers are offering video or phone consultations to support his new family.
