Adopt a pet

Meet Sally, the queen of chaos, cuddles, and confidence! Sally is one of the five puppies from the beloved Charlie Brown Christmas Litter, born just six minutes before midnight on Christmas Eve. She arrived big and bold, and she hasn’t given up her throne since. Her foster mom affectionately calls her “Sumo Sally,” thanks to her impressive size of 29 pounds at just 10 weeks old. Yes, she’s going to be a BIG girl. Sally is the chaos ringleader of the puppy crew. You’ll usually find her starting zoomie frenzies with her siblings, keeping everyone on their toes. The good news? She crashes just as hard as she plays and quickly turns into a quiet, fluffy sleeping beauty. She’s fairly brave and has mastered going up the stairs, but coming down is still a work in progress, so she’ll happily ask for a little help. Once her puppy energy is spent, Sally transforms into the ultimate snuggle bug, perfectly content to curl up and relax. At bedtime, if her foster mom can’t find her, she knows to check outside first - Sally’s favorite nap spot is sleeping on a deck cushion. She also takes her household responsibilities very seriously, especially her role as dishwasher inspector, making sure every dish gets a thorough pre‑wash before the cycle starts. Sally’s ideal forever home includes: a large‑breed canine brother to play and grow up with; a 5-foot securely fenced yard for zoomies, exploring, and naps; and a Pyr‑savvy family who understands big pups with big personalities. Sally is equal parts silly, sweet, and snuggly, and she’s ready to bring laughter, love, and a little joyful chaos to the right forever 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.
