Meet Bumble - Courtesy Posting in MA
This is a Courtesy Posting:
Hello everyone, my name is Bumble, but my humans here in the kennel call me Mr. Bumble-Butt! I came to the shelter as a stray and was never claimed by my people, so unfortunately, not a lot is known about me past what the kennel staff have seen of me here in the shelter environment.
It's been estimated by the veterinarians on staff that I am approximately 1-2 years old. I am a very sweet gentleman to the people I know and am comfortable with and have been known to look to them for affection and pets as I lean up against their legs.
New people make me feel a bit uncertain, however, and I can be a bit stubborn when the humans ask me to do something I don't want to do, such as jumping into cars and crates, or being squeezed and hugged. That said, when I get acclimated to people, I am such a snuggle bug!
I love to be outside, and it is speculated by staff that I was a working farm dog in my previous home. I require a home with Guardian Breed experience since I am not going to be an average house-pet who is content to snooze the day away on the couch, no young children, and someone who is not offended by my mildly fearful tendencies initially.
One of my favorite activities is to lay around outside in the grass and feel the fresh air blow through my coat, making me feel as majestic as I look. I could live with a cat or another dog, pending a successful meet and greet.
I am a bit of a digger and have attempted to burrow out of the pens during my pen time with staff, so long line exercise or leash walking is fine by me! If you do have a fenced yard however, I would enjoy romping about as long as I am supervised!
If interested please reach out to the Berkshire Humane Society

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.
