Adopt a Great Pyrenees (long coat)

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

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.

It’s not until you share you heart with a senior dog that you can really know how much love you have to give, and to receive. Senior dogs teach us that time is the most precious resource there is. That is their gift to us.



This is Snow. No one but she knows her story, and like the lady that she is, she’s keeping that to herself. Snow was brought into rescue so matted that she had to be shaved. That’s why Snow looks a little bit different in these photos. But it’s just hair, and it’s growing back. Snow is a lover: she loves her Doxie-Yorkie foster brother, and would likely do well with a low-key dog friend to keep her company. She loves her foster mom and sticks close to her in the house. She loves to be talked to and petted. She loves her food. She loves rides in the car. She loves her crate. She loves to relax at home in a safe and nurturing environment.



But Snow isn’t for everyone. She is a senior and is on arthritis and other medications, which help her tremendously. Snow needs a low-key home with a special someone who will lavish love and attention on her. She’s had so little in her life, and she’s grateful for all of it. If that special someone is you, please contact us about Snow.

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.
