Adopt a Great Pyrenees (long coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Have you ever seen a dog with cooler moves than mine? Yes, I do a happy dance when I see you coming my way :) My name is Ricky and I am kind of a goofy guy - so let's do the happy dance together! I like to go for walks, I really like this harness thing, too. I am treat motivated, so what would you like to teach me? I have learned to sit patiently waiting for that treat in your hand. I’m not too fond of other dogs invading my space so I would do best as your one and only, but I ignore the cats around here. I am really a quiet, sweet, happy-go-lucky kind of guy that would love to play with you!

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.

If you call or e-mail you are reducing your chances of adopting this animal as we direct our time and energy to first serving those who apply.
