Adopt a Great Pyrenees (medium coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Female Great Pyrenees rarely cohabitate with other females successfully. Our goal is for each adoption to be a permanent placement, therefore homes that already have a female dog are not eligible to adopt a female Pyr.

We are looking for a very special home for Cindy. She is only 2-3 years old but she was so undersocialized as a puppy that she appears frightened of everything. Cindy is so sweet and so deserving of a happy life filled with love and care. She would do best with a confident friendly canine companion who can show her that all new things are not scary but not a home with several animals because she can easily get lost in the crowd and not get the attention she needs. Likewise with people. Cindy would do best in a quiet home without a lot of people or children running in and out. A home with patient, understanding adults who are willing to help her bloom into the dog she was always meant to be. Cindy walks well on a leash and actually seems to prefer to be walked rather than to be loose in a backyard. She is good in a car as well. Initially she picks a spot in the house where she feels safe but as she gets more and more comfortable, she will venture out to be near her humans. We love this shy scared little mouse and we know there is a home waiting for her and hearts ready to love her. If you feel you have that special home, please adopt this girl and give her the life she sodeserves!

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.
