Meet Rougaroux, affectionately known as "Ruger," a delightful young Pyrenees mix who brings a wonderful blend of energy and affection to everything he does. With a medium to high activity level, Ruger is the perfect companion for families who love adventure and outdoor fun. He's already crate trained and walks well on leash, plus he understands lots of different commands. Ruger is an absolute superstar with other dogs of all sizes and genders, loving nothing more than romping and playing with canine companions. He also adores meeting new people whether at home or out and about, and he's wonderfully gentle with children (he offers gentle sniffs, kisses, and patient interaction). This happy boy loves swimming, riding in the car, and curling up in someone's lap for a cozy nap. And his passion for squeaky toys is absolutely endearing—he'll rhythmically squeak them like he's keeping the beat to his own happy song! Every morning, Ruger shows his devotion by following his person to the door, offering hand licks along the way. When he gets excited, especially around mealtime, he'll greet you with an adorable "Rooooooo" sound that will melt your heart every single time. Ruger's ideal home will have a 5’ fence, and is with an active family and another dog, as Ruger needs a furry friend to help him burn off his abundant energy through play. He's the kind of dog who can go anywhere and fit right in! If you're an animal-loving family with an active lifestyle looking for a loyal companion for your current pup, Ruger is the dog for you!

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.
