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.

Hey y'all! I'm Digger! I am so happy to be in rescue - since living in my foster home, I've discovered life is good inside the house! Nothing beats a warm bed, a cool tile floor and lots of food. Speaking of food....did I mention my foster mom makes me Satin Balls every week? Yum, Yum...I've got her wrapped around my dew claw :) Let me tell ya about my foster family, there's lots of us....2 Goldens, a Flat Coat, a Pyr mix and me and we all get along famously. I ignore those things called cats. My vet has one and it was such a snob! Only a few things left to tell you about my wonderful self! 1) I love kids! My humans have introduced me to lots of little people and I think they are the best thing since Satin Balls and Deviled Eggs! 2) I didn't jump on them...heck, I don't jump on anyone. 3) I will sit for a treat! 4) I don't get on the furniture except when "mom" insists I should snuggle with her...but I don't last long because I get too hot. 5) I walk nice on a short leash...sometimes I take advantage of a longer leash but I will stop when you tell me to stop. 6) my foster family gets visitation rights!

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.
