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.

Introducing Miss Scarlett. She is one fine lady! Although Scarlett had come from very humble beginnings she is now enjoying life in her foster home where she gets plenty of love and affection. Scarlett is not only crate trained and house broken but also walks well on a leash. This gal is very loving and eager to please and ready to learn at all times - she is looking for a furever home where she can continue her training. She will require a taller, solid fence as she could possibly climb a chainlink fence. She gets along with any dog large or small as well as cats (although she may chase an active one). She also does great with people, and kids - she just has a love for everyone! Scarlett loves to go on car rides and take walks. She had never had a toy but has learned fast what fun they are and has taken to accumulating them all on her bed :) Upon greeting her she gets so excited and has the cutest waggle ever, getting her entire body going. When she runs, her back two legs bounce up gracefully behind her. Scarlett loves bath time and being brushed. For a Pyr she doesn't bark much, just to sound the 'alarm', then she's ok. She is more active and playful than a typical Pyr, and will initiate play with other dogs. Scarlett had lived a very isolated life prior to rescue, and seems very content to just be with people and other animals...she especially loves snuggle time! This beautiful girl has a very charming disposition who would do great in a home with kids and/or other animals, or even as an only pet where her humans are home more often than not. Scarlett is the perfect companion and you will not be disappointed with this delightful pup!

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.
