Adopt a pet

This handsome, young, active Pyr is Spencer and he’s looking for the perfect family to love! Spencer has excellent house manners. He’s housetrained and good on a leash. He would love a female canine companion in his new home to play with and help show him the ropes. Spencer is very loyal to his family and humans - he absolutely loves his people. Spencer would prefer a quiet neighborhood, with a large fenced in yard so he can have lots of room to play and roam around. This boy loves to get pets from his humans and will reward you with a sweet Pyr paw, sometimes two :) Spencer loves a good zoomie in the yard and then enjoys coming in to a bully stick or porkhide treat (Spencer thinks salami is an extra special treat :) He loves to play with his toys, throwing stuffies high up in the air to entertain himself.  Spencer is a Pyr-lovers Pyr and will make the right family very happy and entertained with his fun-loving personality. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, apply today to learn more about Spencer!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

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.
