Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Akbash (medium 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.

Hi Everyone! My name is SNOW, and I promise you an AVALANCHE* of kisses if you adopt me. I am VERY friendly and not at all FROZEN* with my affections. Plus, I’m as sweet as ICE CREAM*. I am a FLURRY* of activity—I love to play and run around. In fact, I can jump quite high and Mom says my energy level is also high—if you like lots of activity, I’m your girl. I do like other dogs, but I might give female dogs a DUSTING* so male dogs would be best (if you get my DRIFT*). You want to know more good things? Well, Mom also says I’m eager to please, and I keep my COOL* because I’m even-tempered (no MELTDOWNS*). Oh! I’m also very smart (though I can’t think of a snow-y word to RIME* with that…) Bonus points: I’m also crate-trained. Sometimes I’ll bark but I like to think of that as singing. SNOWMAN* or SNOWWOMAN*—it’s all good for me. So don’t be a FLAKE*; invite me to your IGLOO* so we can snuggle up a SNOWSTORM*. We’ll have a BALL*!!

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.
