Adopt a pet

Pearl is a charming young Pry girl who came to us as a stray in Kentucky. Pearl is ready to embrace a bright future filled with love, laughter, and lots of playtime! She is housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, with a medium activity level. Pearl is a smart cookie who already knows her name, comes when called, understands what "dinner" means (very important priorities!), and happily goes into her kennel on cue. She respects boundaries both inside and outside the house, has wonderful house manners, and an eagerness to learn.

When it comes to other animals, Pearl is a social butterfly. She absolutely adores other dogs and loves to play, and she has been happily following her foster's 11-year-old male dog around, soaking up all his wisdom. Pearl will thrive best in a home with a confident dog to help guide her. She's also perfectly fine with indoor cats, though outdoor cats may find her a little too enthusiastic — she just wants to play, after all! Pearl is a bit shy when meeting new people and likes to take her time with a good sniff before warming up. She tends to approach women first and looks to her canine companions for reassurance that new folks are trustworthy. As for kids, Pearl is timid and gentle and would likely do well.

Pearl is very much an indoor girl who loves being right in the heart of the family. Pearl's favorite things include being brushed (she thinks it's a fabulous game!), playing with her toys, and exploring the great outdoors — especially around water! She loves getting her paws wet, and in her foster home she's been utterly fascinated by the backyard pond, trying to sneak bites of the plants and watching the fish with wide-eyed wonder. She's also not a picky eater when it comes to treats — peanut butter and chicken are her favorites, and she'll even munch on celery like the little health-conscious pup she is! The one thing Pearl could do without? Car rides. She's working on it!

What makes Pearl truly special is her infectious playfulness and her wide-eyed curiosity about the world around her. She is a young dog with so much love to give, and all she needs is an active family, with another dog, who will welcome her in and show her she is home.

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.
