Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Mixed (short coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

Leo is a special dog. He is very sweet little guy and devoted to his people. And look how beautiful he is with his soft baby seal expression. His foster mom has trained him in obedience and works with him every day, so he is exceptionally well-trained. He loves to go for walks and to the dog park. Leo has not been tested with cats but he loves other dogs. This boy had a very rough start in life, coming into rescue as a young puppy severely undersocialized and with secondary skin infections. Leo is totally healed now and he only has a few spots on his face where the fur may never grow back. Leo is still wary of strangers entering his home and is scared to approach them, but he does much better meeting people outside of his home while on walks. Leo would do best in a quiet home with regular walks and meet and greets. He will reward his person with lots of love and devotion!

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.
