Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Anatolian Shepherd / 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 Mikey. I am a young Pyr mix, so I have a lot of puppy still left in me. My foster Mom says I probably have more Anatolian Shepherd than anything, since I do have that personality, that’s for sure. I am housebroken and prefer to be indoors, but I do like going outside and playing in my yard. I love to play with my toys. I will fetch the ball you throw to me and bring it back to you so you can throw it some more! My foster Mom says I am very, very, smart. She only has to show me how to do something a couple of times and I already get it. I already know how to sit, stay, lay down and give you my paw when you ask for it. I get along great with other female dogs, but not so great with other boy dogs. I do play kind of hard, but that’s because I get over excited when it’s time to play. I like to chase cats, but that’s because they run when they see me so I think they are trying to play, too. I would do best in a home without children. New people frighten me a little, but once I get to know you, I will be your best friend forever! My foster Mom says I am a great dog - I am very kind and affectionate. But I will need a confident person to bring out the best dog I can be.

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.
