Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Mixed (medium coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Hi, I'm Marlin! Or you can call me by my nickname - Amazing Marlin! What makes me so amazing? Well, to start, I am a sweet dog. My foster mom looked up the word "sweet" in the dictionary, and guess what? My picture was right there :) I am a quick learner too! I've been through two obedience classes and was the best in my class both times! I also enjoy playing fetch - I will bring it back and drop it so you can throw it again and again (and again). I am leash and crate trained. I don't bark often, and I love to take car rides - I am ready for family adventures! I love to meet new people, and do well meeting other dogs. That said, I'd love to be an only dog at home, or potentially have a girlfriend! I’m a medium- energy guy, so I’m up for a hike in the woods and a swim in the lake, and then a nice long nap. My fur is soft and has a texture like hair. I actually look a bit like a Collie. So, what do you think...can I come home 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.
