Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Mixed (medium coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Meet Thor! That name is Danish and suits him since it means “God of Thunder’! If you are looking for a big, handsome, loving, smart, well-mannered boy, look no further. Thor is a mix of part Pyrenees and maybe Great Dane. He's 81 lbs. and should be considered as full grown. Thor comes already trained. Yes, he`s a dream on a leash, politely sits and waits when asked, is housebroken and doesn`t mind the crate. He plays well with other dogs but is not a fan of cats. Thor`s coat is a bonus if you`re looking for low maintenance! He`s a pretty quiet boy but does come to life when you throw him the ball. Like any boy he loves to play! Don`t let this thunderous boy fool you though, he can be a softie when he shows his affectionate side...he loves to give kisses to show his appreciation :) One thing, he does request a tall fence to accommodate his statuesque size. Thor would be happy to share his home with a playmate or be an only dog, too. This big boy is more than ready to become a part of your 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.
