Adopt a pet

Announcing this perfect and stunning litter of 9 full Pyr puppies—the City Slickers who came to rescue as owner surrenders from their breeder. These kids are the real deal—simply gorgeous with amazing personalities to match. Augusta, one of 6 girls is calm, demure, and sweet with a little bit of fun and silly thrown in! Just when you think she is content to sit back and watch, here she comes ready to play or just get loved on :) This girl loves to nuzzle into your neck and get all the attention! She sits oh so calm to be groomed or have her nails done – she would love the full spa treatment for sure! She is mastering her leash skills, ready to follow her person and soak up all there is to learn. Toys are lots of fun too, so please have a basket of toys waiting for her! This special girl will need a home with a secure fenced yard, a canine brother to hang out or play with and to teach her all things "dog" :) If your family is ready to welcome this sweet, soft, lovable Pyr girl into your home, August would love to learn more about you, too, so apply today!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
