Say howdy to Ray, our floofy ray of sunshine! Ray is more than ready to find his furever family. Ray has good manners, understands his basic cues, and is very eager to please. You got treats? – Ask him to sit and he will go bum down and head tilted waiting like a good boy for his reward – what's not to love about that?! Just like his namesake, Ray is a ball of sunshine and playfulness, and he has this special talent of spreading joy and happiness wherever he goes. This sweet boy is always eager for some enthusiastic playtime with his foster siblings, and will lay down to play with the smaller pups! Ray is also content to entertain himself with a variety of toys. Once you see the fun he has with toys, it is almost impossible not to join in the play with Ray. He also walks well on leash, does fine on car rides, and tolerates brushing (he has an easy-to-maintain medium-length coat!). He enjoys the air conditioning, but also likes being outside as well, so a secure, 5’ privacy fenced-in yard would be great (he can climb chain-link). Ray is a confident pup, not showing any fears or dislikes, and he doesn’t dig. This lovely boy is quite the smart cookie, and he will thrive in a medium-to-highly active household without little kids (teens only), where his people will work with him to learn new tricks. We are pawsitive that Ray will be your best adventure buddy in no time!​

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.

Meet Sweetie Pie and Ralphie, an adorable bonded pair looking for their forever home together! These two delightful pups are fully housebroken and know basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "outside," plus they walk beautifully on leash. They absolutely love playing together both indoors and out, and while Sweetie Pie has a bit more energy, they both enjoy long walks and running around in the yard. A 4-foot fence works perfectly for them, and they're both fantastic in the car and absolutely love the snow! When it comes to meeting new people, Sweetie Pie is an instant snuggle buddy who would happily be petted all day long and loves being a "leaner" who always wants to be touching someone, while Ralphie is a big teddy bear who may bark initially when someone enters the house but quickly warms up and loves to give hugs and his signature Pyr Paw. Both dogs are amazing with young children, and got tons of love from middle schoolers at a football game, so they'd do wonderfully in a family setting. While Ralphie prefers that other dogs don't come into the house, both are perfectly fine with dogs they meet on walks or outings. These two love their bones, with Ralphie especially enjoying his rope and duck toys, and they both go crazy for bacon and cheese treats! Sweetie Pie has the cutest habit of sleeping on her back and would happily lounge on the couch with you all day, while Ralphie is quite the talker (you'd think he's part husky!) and loves laying at your feet as your loyal companion. The ideal home for this wonderful pair would include a yard where they can run and play together, and they'd be thrilled to be your forever friends who shower you with love, snuggles, and plenty of joyful moments!

Serenity was a Tennessee stray, limping and wandering with two pups that she was nursing. She was in tough shape, extremely matted and had an older break in her leg – her kneecap was completely shattered so the leg started to bow out and the muscles around that leg atrophied. Unfortunately she was not able to keep her leg. Serenity has absolutely blossomed in foster care, and her story today is not one of hardship – it's one of joy, speed, and an endless supply of love for everyone she meets. Don't let those three legs fool you: this girl runs like the wind, leaving her four-legged foster siblings in the dust! She zooms around the yard in glorious bursts of energy, then saunters inside to claim her rightful spot on a cushioned bench like the queen she is. 

Serenity is housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, and her manners are genuinely impressive – she'll sit, wait for an "ok" before eating, and give you her paw. A 4-foot fence is plenty to keep her safely contained, as she has no interest in jumping. Her gorgeous coat is long and silky soft, without an overwhelming amount of undercoat, making grooming more manageable than you might expect from a Pyr. She gets along wonderfully with dogs big and small, and lives harmoniously with the resident cat – they're actual buddies. She's been wonderful with teenage kids and will likely be great with younger children too, given her gentle nature, though her occasional klutziness means supervision around babies and toddlers is a good idea. As for new people, her agenda is simple: get her ears scratched and bask in all the attention. 

Her foster says it best: "Initially you feel sorry for her because of her leg amputation, but now I forget about it. She's so energetic and playful and the sweetest dog. Her story should be about who she is now and not what happened to her before. She's goofy and she loves everyone and everything." Serenity would thrive with a yard to run and explore and would be happiest with other dog companions to romp with, though she could certainly be a beloved only dog with people who are home often and ready to shower her with affection. If you're looking for a fun-loving, energetic, cuddly girl who gets along with absolutely everyone, Serenity is your girl.

Ice is one cool canine who's ready for a warm home to call his own! Ice and his brother were found wandering along the highway, and though their previous owner was located, they were surrendered because these adventurous pups just couldn't stay put at home.

This friendly fellow keeps his kennel spotlessly clean, so while his housebroken status is unknown, all signs point to a dog who takes pride in his space. Ice glides beautifully on leash, making walks an absolute breeze, and he's wonderfully social with other dogs—breaking the ice with new canine pals is his specialty! He's even gentle and friendly when meeting cats, greeting them with a happy tail wag like he's just made a new best friend. Ice is incredibly sweet with people and absolutely lives for attention and pets, offering adorable nose boops when he wants more love, and leaning into you for extra snuggles.

Meet Clarence, a delightful young Great Pyrenees with a stunning long white coat who can’t wait to find his furever home! He is a very loving big puppy with a medium-high activity level, and an endearing personality that will steal your heart. Clarence walks great on leash and knows "sit," showing he's eager to please and ready to learn. This playful boy has the most adorable quirks—he sleeps upside down, lays down to eat his meals, and absolutely loves hugs! Clarence gets along great with all dogs regardless of size or gender, making him a perfect companion for homes with existing canine friends. He’s also good with the resident cat! Clarence loves meeting new people and has shown himself to be a confident pup with no known fears or dislikes. He enjoys walking the perimeter of the yard and taking in all the smells, so he’d love a 5-foot fenced yard for exploring and playtime with his canine buddies. This sweet boy enjoys the best of both worlds—sleeping inside and hanging out in the great outdoors. He loves being brushed, playing with toys, and romping with other dogs. Clarence can get a little carsick on rides but is otherwise a happy, well-adjusted pup with no behavioral issues. His favorite snack? – Anything edible! The ideal home for Clarence would be with another playful dog, and an active family who can provide him with plenty of snacks, love, and opportunities to grow into a lovable gentle giant!

Laney is a delightful young Pyr and Border Collie mix with the sweetest personality and a whole lot of love to give! This clever little "Pocket Pyr" came into foster care alongside her brother Luke and sister Libby, and the trio has been absolutely thriving! Don't let the "Pyr" in her name fool you – Laney is a more petite pup who will top out around 60 pounds, with a short, soft coat. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate, and endlessly curious companion, Laney just might be your perfect match! Laney is exceptionally intelligent and picks up new things remarkably quickly. She's already leash trained (check out her adorable video!), crate trained, and is happily working on her basics like “sit.” A true eager-to-please girl, Laney settles beautifully in her crate during nap times and learns household routines in no time. Socially, Laney is an absolute gem! She loves everyone she meets – new people, familiar faces, you name it – and she greets them all with pure joy. She does well with large dogs at home (she currently lives happily with one large male and one large female), and when she’s out on walks, she wants to play with every single pup she meets. She's also perfectly happy both indoors and out – whether she's romping in the yard with her littermates or snuggled up inside soaking in all the pets and attention she can get! She loves belly scratches, ear rubs, and has the most adorable habit of walking between your legs just to make sure she gets properly loved on. Peanut butter is her all-time favorite treat, and she'll do just about anything for a good snuggle session. Fun, loving, sweet, curious, and ready for adventure – Laney is truly the whole package! Laney would absolutely flourish with another playful dog to call her best friend and a yard with a 5-foot fence for them to play in. If your family loves outdoor adventures, daily walks, and cozy cuddles at the end of the day, Laney is ready for your application!
