Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Cousy is handsome older Pyrenees/Shepherd mix boy who has come in to rescue. He is a smaller, shy, older gentleman who may not be the right dog for everybody, but he will be the right dog for somebody. While Cousy is initially wary of strangers, he warms up nicely and will be a devoted boy who will be loyal and great company for the right companion. Cousy can be easily frightened by loud noises and lots of commotion - so a quiet home will be best for him. He loves taking walks and hanging out on the deck or walking around the yard. He currently lives with another dog but can be wary when meeting new dogs so slow introductions are best. He is currently in a home where he is frightened of a new toddler in the house, so a quieter home without children would be best for him. It may take him some time to settle in to a new home and routine, but once he does, he will do great. We are hoping to find just the right home for Cousy where he will be a cherished member of the 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.
