Adopt a pet

*** Check Out My Video Album Below! ***

Oscar is a lovable Great Pyrenees mix with a gentle soul and an endless supply of affection. He came to us after his elderly owner moved into a nursing home, and now this big, beautiful boy is ready to find his forever family. He's housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and has good house manners — he knows how to sit and will even throw in a handshake when he's feeling particularly charming! Oscar spends his days happily playing with his canine foster sister and would love a female canine companion in his forever home. Cats are no problem either — he gives them a curious sniff and goes right about his business. He does wonderfully with older kids who know how to respect animals, happily letting them pet him and snuggling right up beside them. He also greets new people at the house with ease. On walks, Oscar has never once tried to make a break for it, which is a very reassuring quality in a Pyr! He'd do great as a leash-walk-only dog, or with a 6-foot fenced in yard. He enjoys being brushed, playing with toys, and fully believes he is a lap dog. And he absolutely loves car rides! He gets wonderfully silly during playtime and makes the most hilarious noises in his sleep. His favorite treats are cheese, hot dogs, and peanut butter, and his barking is pretty minimal — he mostly just joins in when the other dogs start the chorus. Oscar would thrive with a semi-active family who can give him daily activity and plenty of love. Could that forever family be you?

NYS Registered Non-Profit Rescue # RR102. National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) has been rescuing and adopting out Great Pyrenees since 2006. Our relationship doesn’t end with adoption, as we continue to support adopters throughout the lifetime of their dog.

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.

We have many Pyrs and Pyr mixes who need homes. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Adoptable Dogs.
