Meet Buddy Holly, a young Pyrenees boy who comes from a humble past...and while not famous like the singer/songwriter we all know, he is a star in his own right. Buddy Holly had a rough earlier life so has never had a chance to learn how to interact and play like a boy should. Now this boy is one of the happiest Pyrs you will ever meet! He is an 85 lb, long bundle of soft fur who loves to be with his people. This love bug adores his people and will take care of them totally. He plays, he fetches, he wrestles, he follows, he sits for treats, he walks well on a leash, he is housebroken and loves toys — what more could you ask for? Buddy is a little hesitant when meeting strangers, but with slow introductions is quickly their friend. He had never been socialized with other dogs and is slowly learning to accept them, and thus would probably be happiest as an only dog but he is fine with cats. He would love a large yard with a 6 foot fence. Due to his size and love of rough play, he would be best without children. Buddy dreams of a home with active people who will play with him, maybe go for hikes, and just continue to show him the love and direction he craves!

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.
