Adopt a Great Pyrenees (long coat)

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

Previous dog experience is required, preferably large breed.

This very handsome boy is Yertle - he is such a sweet young boy and he gets along great with everyone he meets! He loves people and other dogs and is especially fond of the kitties in his foster home and they snuggle up with him for naps. Yertle is doing great now but came to rescue completely emaciated with wounds all over him. We are not sure what happened in his past but this great dog does not hold that against anyone. He is just so happy now! Yertle was in such sad shape, they thought he was at least 4 or 5 years old, but it turns out, he was just a big ole puppy. He is eating great now and gaining much needed weight. He is doing so well that we are now looking for a great home for him to call his own. He has a gorgeous fluffy coat and big dark eyes and he always seem to have a smile on his face! Yertle is such a nice fella and we are so happy he is safe now in rescue. He is doing great indoors and loves to be with his people. He may still chew when left un attended for long periods of time, as all puppies do, but he is housetrained and doing so great now. Yertle is happy and more energetic now that he is feeling so much better. He would love a doggie playmate or two. He currently lives with a senior girl and she loves him, but does not have the energy to play much now. We just love Yertle and you will too! Please consider making this sweet fluff-ball 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.
