Ruff Ruff! My name is Veronica in NY

Veronica is what you might call a pocket Pyr. She has a small frame and hasn't been fed much so right now she is very scared and very thin. She was so scared she didn't want to stand up for her pictures. She is responding well to TLC and gets along great with the young male who sometimes shares her kennel space. She and another Pyr named Archie lived on a farm in Tennessee and when the farm was sold the new owners didn't want the Pyrs anymore. It was a good thing as they weren't being well taken care of. Veronica now has the chance for a new life with a family who will take care of her so she won't be scared anymore. Maybe that family is yours.

About Us: National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) is not a shelter. We are a not-for-profit, tax-exempt coalition of Pyr rescuers and rescue groups. We save Pyrs and Pyr mixes across the country and place them in approved foster homes so we know how they will interact with your family. Please consider adopting or fostering. Every dog who is fostered or adopted makes room for another Pyr coming out of a kill shelter. Prior to adoption, NGPR dogs are fostered for a minimum of two weeks (usually more), spayed or neutered and fully vetted. Dogs coming from out of area are certified with a USDA health certificate before going to their new homes. Our rescuers adhere to the highest placement standards and will take back any dog whose adoption does not succeed. Visit www.nationalpyr.org to learn more about us, our mission and our breed.
