Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Hound / Mixed (short coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Hi, I’m Horton (some people call me Hootie). I am a Great Pyrenees/hound mix. What a combination that is - I have a short tan coat with the look and recall skills of a hound. Would you like me to come to you? Okay! I’m on my way! I am a nicely behaved fellow. I don’t dig or try to escape. I am house broken and leash and crate trained. I know my basic commands, and I am super good at them!



Do you like treats? I do too! I love edible goodies, but I also like to play fetch. It’s funny to watch me play because my ears flap when I run :) I can live with cats – I know I know - No chasing allowed. And I am good with other dogs. In fact, I prefer to have a doggie companion in my home.



What is my ideal home? Well, I would like a fenced yard and a human family that can spend a lot of time with me. Once I warm up to you, I am a big love bug, and I enjoy being petted. I can be quite shy about meeting new people, so a home without a lot of guests is perfect for me. I enjoy structure, and I am happiest when I know where I stand. Patience is the key to my heart. So if I sound like the perfect dog for you, don’t hesitate - fill out an app today!

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.
