Is there anything cuter than a Great Pyrenees puppy? How about 2 of them? Look at those faces! Ginger (along with her brother Fred) are being fostered on a farm and have made friends with every cat, dog and assorted farm animal imaginable — including llamas! They are presently about 15 pounds, but sure to grow into regal adults. Right now they spend time both indoors and out and are exactly the fluffy playful puppies you would expect. Housebreaking is going well, and their gregarious personalities are developing rapidly. Ginger loves attention and positively squeals with delight whenever she sees her foster mom. She loves her petting so much she falls over! While great in size, Pyrs are very sensitive animals. Patience and positive reinforcement during Ginger’s training will be rewarded by a pet whose love and loyalty know no bounds. Ginger will become a beautiful, elegant and majestic addition to your family — a true family member, friend and protector.

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.
