Psst, hey guys, Oliver here. I have a secret, I`m not really a model, I just look like one! At just 73 lbs., I'm a handsome, full blooded Great Pyrenees. Well, that`s what I hear on a daily basis. I am a dream to take on a walk. If you`re one of those people who love to hike or go on daily walks, I`m your guy. I will happily sit when asked and sometimes I sit even before you ask. I am a gentle treat taker. Playtime is my favorite time of day. Personally, I think it should last for hours but I take what I can get. I was under socialized when I was little, but now I am a real love bug when I get to know you. It does take me some time to trust new people so slow introductions are important. For this reason a Pyr-experienced, adult-only home would be best. I prefer a clean kennel so I`m pretty sure I`d be clean in the house. I don`t even mind being bathed and brushed, after all, a guy’s gotta keep up the white coat! Car rides are cool if you`d need a co-pilot and I could care less about traffic or siren noises. One last thing, I had a rabbit. Yes, I said a rabbit! I loved it. People ask how I feel about cats, so I am pretty sure they would be ok too. I`m ready for a home guys - won`t you give me a chance?

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.
