Adopt a Great Pyrenees (medium coat)

Adoption Pending. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Rescue Dogs.

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Female Great Pyrenees rarely cohabitate with other females successfully. Our goal is for each adoption to be a permanent placement, therefore homes that already have a female dog are not eligible to adopt a female Pyr.

Meet Gracie, a stunning female Great Pyrenees. Gracie is everything you could possibly want in a dog...loving, affectionate, smart, and beautiful. Gracie enjoys doing something most Pyrs won’t - she fetches! Gracie is housebroken, crate trained, and knows her commands (sit/stay/down). She will benefit greatly to be in a home where she can continue working on her training as she LOVES to please! Gracie’s foster mom has been working with her on walking on a leash, and says that Gracie is really getting the hang of it - this girl loves to get her harness on and go! She also enjoys going for car rides and looking forward to meeting new people and new dog friends. Although her exercise must be limited while she finishes her heartworm treatment, Gracie seems to have springs in her legs...so she will need a 6 ft fence to keep her from “disapyring” :) Gracie would love to have another dog to play with. She hasn’t been tested yet with cats and can be placed in a home with older children (11 years old and up) since she can be rambunctious, and might knock a smaller child down.

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.
