Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Mixed (short coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Hi my name is Olaf (aka Ranger). I am a 'Pocket Pyr' mix, just look at my DNA report. It says I am 50% Great Pyrenees, 12.5% Australian Shepherd and 37.5% other stuff :) I am less than 2 years old and weigh just 63 pounds. I love playing with my foster brother and sister, but I can be a little shy around new friends so need to meet them slowly. I do enjoy going for walks and I walk great on a leash, but like new friends, the world can be scary sometimes. I love going for car rides but you have to leave the window cracked because I love sniffing new places. The best home for me? I would like a confident human or two to be with. Maybe a doggie friend, too. My foster parents are working on my doggie skills and they say I can be smart when I want to be :) So can I come live with you?? If you say yes I will give you kisses and Pyr paw and Pyr leans. I’d like to continue my training too, but only if you have treats!

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.
