Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Mixed (long coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Rocky is aptly named. Like the famous movie character after a fight, this boy came into rescue presenting a rough exterior due to medical and physical neglect but he quickly showed us his soft heart. This young boy is having a blast in his foster home playing with his canine foster sister and learning about all the good things there are to eat. Rocky is not above enjoying a little additional spoiling by getting a massage from his foster mom. But he knows how to obey commands as well and is excellent at sitting when told. He is still working on his leash skills but he loves to go for car rides. Rocky is a Pyr mix on the smaller side. An ideal weight on this boy is only 60-65 lbs. He is what we call a 'Pocket Pyr'. We are not sure what he is mixed with but his tail curls tightly like a Pug’s which might be pretty embarrassing for him if he paid any attention to it. Rocky is a great dog for people who love the breed but don’t want the giant size of a Pyr and don’t want all the barking because Rocky is a pretty quiet boy. Rocky is waiting for his perfect family so please apply to adopt this sweet boy!

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.
