Adopt a Great Pyrenees (long coat)

This Pyr is available for foster only or for a very experienced adopter.

Children in the home must be at least 6 years old.

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

I'm Charlie but my kennel mom calls me Charlie Boy . It must stand for “Boy, aren`t you something”, since that what she always says! I`m looking for a foster that will continue with my training and show me some love that I`m so ready for! I am known as a real "people dog". I`m still young and working on a few things but I`m proud to say that I do sit, down and wait. Well, wait is one of those things I`m working on :) The point is that I`m smart and eager to learn if you teach me! I don`t really have need for those things that meow so I hope my new family doesn`t have any! I will tell you one thing - I love my food. Sometimes I can be protective of it so I`d prefer to eat alone. Oh, balls are wonderful and I`d like to have someone to throw them to me. I can`t promise I`ll always bring them back, but I really love to chase them. Yep, I am really something. A sweet boy that would love a home of my own. Do you have room for me?

About Us: National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) is not a shelter. We are a not-for-profit, tax-exempt coalition of Pyr rescuers and rescue groups. We save Pyrs and Pyr mixes across the country and place them in approved foster homes so we know how they will interact with
your
family. Please consider adopting or fostering. Every dog who is fostered or adopted makes room for another Pyr coming out of a kill shelter. Prior to adoption, NGPR dogs are fostered for a minimum of two weeks (usually more), spayed or neutered and fully vetted. Dogs coming from out of area are certified with a USDA health certificate before going to their new homes. Our rescuers adhere to the highest placement standards and will take back any dog whose adoption does not succeed. Visit www.nationalpyr.org to learn more about us, our mission and our breed.
