Adopt a pet

Get ready to fall head over paws for Princess - a stunning girl with one blue eye and one brown eye! Her dad was a purebred Great Pyrenees and her mom was a mix of German Shepherd and other breeds, giving Princess her beautiful medium-length coat and one-of-a-kind look. Princess is a high-energy girl who loves to run and play, but when adventure time is over, she's equally happy cuddling up beside you on the couch. She's housebroken, crate trained, and leash trained (still learning not to pull), and knows the command "sit." She doesn’t dig and is actually fairly quiet for a Pyr. Cheese is her all-time favorite treat! She does have a flair for escape - she's jumped the porch gate and loves to chase cars - so a secure 5-foot fence is a must. Princess is an absolute sweetheart with kids and has been wonderful with the resident children ages 4, 2, and an infant. She does well with large dogs but is not suitable for homes with cats or small animals. She may bark to alert you that someone new has arrived, but is sweet with everyone she’s met. Princes has allergies which have been improving with a daily allergy pill and a non-chicken-based diet. Her dream home is with an active family that has kids, room to run, and a securely fenced yard. This sweet, silly girl is ready to blossom - could that home be yours?

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.
