Adopt a pet

This lovely Pyr girl is Nancy, who arrived to rescue as a diamond in the rough but is now looking and feeling so much better! Nancy is an adult Pyr and she loves being inside and is housetrained. She was neglected before but good meals, vet care and attention have made all the difference. Nancy is a real sweetheart who adores attention and affection. She walks nicely on leash and would love a home of her own and being a cherished member of the family. Nancy would do best as an only pet without cats, birds and other small animals or with an older mellow male dog as a companion. Nancy would love a fenced backyard to explore and a comfy indoor dog bed for napping. She is a sweet, mellow gal who deserves a much better life than she has known so far.

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.
