Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Mixed (medium coat)

This Pyr is available for foster only or for a very experienced adopter.

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Handsome Samson. Say that three times! Well, you can`t say one without the other! I`m a young Pyr mix boy that`s looking for a foster to show me what life is like outside the kennel. They think I’m part Pyrenees and part Akbash. Sometimes things seem scary outside of here but I do love to go to the play yard and run and play. I`ve gotten better on my leash because I understand it means a walk. I`m a very smart boy and find all kind of creative ways to entertain myself in here. I play with my toys, my water bowl and romp around. I also do have some manners. I sit and wait. Sometimes I can be a little protective of my food so that`s when you can ask me to sit and wait. It`s important that I have more than one person to teach me things. That way, I won`t feel the need to protect just one person. I`m a people dog and I am so ready to find a real home like the other dogs here that have come and gone. I`m still a pup that needs love, structure. patience and attention. Won`t you please help me?

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.
