Adopt a Great Pyrenees / Maremma Sheepdog / Mixed (medium coat)

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.

Meet Snowflake! She was one of a litter of six known as the “Ky 6”. She`s a Pyrenees/Maremma Sheepdog mix. A wonderful combination! When they came to rescue they were very under socialized but Snowflake has become an adorable, loving, curious and playful girl. She looks at you with her expressive eyes like she expects you to understand what she`s thinking. She is a smart girl who is working on some basic commands and has begun to “sit” already. We expect she will be a joy to train as she seems eager to learn new things! Her parent will need to be committed to teaching her house manners and continuing with her training. Snowflake's first choice would be a playmate in her home or arranging play dates with other dogs if she`s an only dog. If you`re looking for an adorable girl who wants to experience all that life has to offer, consider adopting this precious girl!

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.
