Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Mixed (long coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Bentley is a very gentle and mellow pup who is more Pyr-like than his brother, Chaco. We think these guys may possibly be part goldendoodle due to their coats and how smart they are. Bentley is a bit more mellow than his brother. He's great with all commands except "come" which shows his Pyr genes :) He is an independent dog who is happy sleeping in a different room by himself while his humans are eating dinner or watching TV. He loves chewing his bones outside and is already showing some perimeter checking behavior. He gets along with his foster's cat very well and is very friendly to strangers who enter the house. Bentley is gentle with the tween and teen kids at his foster home and is content to lay on his bed and chew on his favorite elk antler. He is 100% house trained and will be a great addition to any family!

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.
