Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Buddy DOB 4/25/21
Buddy is a handsome 2 1/2 year old neutered male Great Pyrenees. He enjoys playing with female dogs but may not get along with all male dogs. He needs a well secured yard because he loves to spend lots of time outside. He has been trained to do some fun agility obstacles and actually plays fetch with his ball! He has been with cats. He is being trained to walk on a leash without pulling. He is a minimal barker. He loves to watch the sky.
Buddy is deaf but this does not hamper his intelligence. He is smart, knows some hand signals and body expression and will quickly learn more. However due to deafness he will always need to be on a leash outside his yard. He was born deaf.
Buddy loves pats and adores his people. He is a delightful companion. He does not counter surf and is respectful while you eat.
A perfect home would have a high secured fenced yard and another female dog partner to play with. His person is someone who is willing to relish life with a deaf dog and learn/explore new and deeper ways to communicate. So many dogs learn our language. This is an opportunity to communicate in another way and share a deeply unique bond.
Please go to our website if you are interested in one of our dogs. It explains the process and has an application you can fill out there.

NEPR interviews each applicant and also conducts a home visit to ensure this is the right breed for them. The Great Pyrenees is not a breed for everyone. Education about the breed is key for prospective owners to avoid mistakes in placement. If the placement isn't working, Northeast Pyr Rescue will take the dog back immediately under any circumstances. Adopting a dog locally has several advantages. A volunteer goes to the home of the prospective owners and makes suggestions for the dog's care. Prospective owners can also meet and "interview" dogs at conveniently located facilities or foster homes. Our canine behavioralists specialize in working with Pyrs and are always available for questions or support. We ask for a donation of $25 at the time of the home visit, and then a donation of $350 when a Great Pyrenees is adopted from our rescue.

More about this rescue
NorthEast Pyr Rescue (NEPR) is a non-profit corporation and an all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing compassionate, coordinated and comprehensive rescue services for Great Pyrenees dogs in our region, the North East portion of the United States.
We have Three Primary Goals:
1.) Rescue and Re-homing –We provide rescue care for Great Pyrenees dogs that are lost, abandoned, neglected or surrendered and place them in loving permanent homes. In many instances the dogs have lived with attentive and loving families but due to difficult circumstances, such as divorce or owner death, the Pyr needs to find a new home. In some cases dogs have been neglected or abandoned and have special care needs.
2.) Education – We teach people about the Great Pyrenees breed characteristics and convey information regarding proper dog selection and the importance of spaying and neutering. Members set up educational booths at county fairs, public events, Pet-Co, live stock events, and dog shows to disseminate information and answer questions. We distribute about 500 educational fliers and pamphlets each year a s well as speak to approximately 1,000 people.
3.) Consultation and Assistance – We work with owners who are experiencing behavioral problems with their Pyrs, connecting them with experienced breeders and owners who understand and help resolve their issues of concern. In most instances, with dedicated owners, we can provide easy solutions so the Pyr can remain in their home forever.
