Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Mixed (medium coat)

Adoption Pending. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Rescue Dogs.

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

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.

Maddie is a sweet and gentle soul who is a little shy but really wants to be loved. She is a beautiful girl with gorgeous gray markings and is on the smaller side at around 75 pounds. This young girl is learning how to play and has been trying to convince the older Pyr in her foster home to engage in this wonderful new activity but he just looks at her and indicates, “Been there, done that. Now go away”. Maddie has taken his grumpiness in stride and is respectful of his seniority. Cats appreciate her naturally calm temperament even as they sneer at her obvious inferiority to themselves. Unlike a lot of Pyrs and Pyr mixes, Maddie is not a big barker and actually likes to train. She already knows “sit” and is learning “down”, “come” and “wait”. Maddie is also learning to appreciate car rides and walks on a leash. Apparently, Maddie had never been in a car before and it appears she hasn't had much experience with a leash - she never fought it, just froze in place. So her foster parents are showing her that new things can be fun!

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.
