About Velma (Great pyrenees) in Pittsboro

Velma is waiting for you at Chatham Animal Rescue & Education in Pittsboro, NC 27312. Velma had a rough start in life, but don’t let that fool you — this girl is happy, sweet, and full of love. She’s discovering the comfort of living inside a home, and she’s soaking it all in. While she can be unsure at first, her gentle nature shines through quickly. At just 5 months old, Velma has plenty of puppy energy and would thrive with an active family. She has always felt more comfortable with dogs than humans, so she’ll do best in a home with at least one friendly canine companion to help her continue building confidence. Because she is part Great Pyrenees, Velma requires a securely fenced yard that is physically attached to the home. Velma already weighs 41 pounds and is expected to grow into a true giant — likely over 100 pounds as an adult. Giant‑breed lovers only for this girl. She’s working hard on house manners and potty training, but due to her future size and enthusiasm, she is not suited for homes with children under 8. She loves being part of a pack, does well with other dogs and older kids, and requires regular grooming. Velma is up to date on vaccinations, will be microchipped before adoption, and will be spayed when age‑appropriate.
