Meet Potato — aka "Tater" or "Tater Tot" — the fluffiest little charmer you'll ever lay eyes on! This adorable boy came into rescue with his mom and 4 littermates (Cheddar, Honey, Onion, and Salsa), from a shelter in Kentucky. They are Pyr and Border Collie mixes born on February 18, 2026. Tater is a curly, pure white fluff ball with a darling black and brown mask and a sweet little brown spot down by his tail — basically a stuffed animal come to life! Don't let his baby face fool you, though — this little guy has personality to spare. The moment Tater spots you, he'll stop, drop, and roll over, belly-up and ready for the long rubs he absolutely believes he deserves. And if you're ever unclear on what he wants? He'll give you a polite little ruff to let you know! He's also worked out a very sensible system for mealtime — simply lying on top of his food bowl to ensure no one else gets any ideas. Genius, really. When he's not hiding his kibble, you might find his little paws happily splashing in his water bowl, or his nose leading him on important sniffing expeditions around the yard. When his favorite people come into view, Tater's tail gets wagging as he bounces toward them with pure, unfiltered joy. Tater's perfect forever home will have a securely fenced yard of at least five feet — plenty of room for zoomies and sniff patrols — and a canine sibling for him to pal around with, because every Tot needs a partner in crime. If you're ready for a curly, cuddly, belly-rub-demanding little shadow in your life, look no further than Potato!

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.
