Atticus has a stunning all-white, medium-length coat, and a heart as pure as his beautiful fur. This gentle giant was found as a stray in Nashville, TN and is currently in boarding, eagerly waiting for a foster or forever home to call his own. Standing impressively tall, Atticus has mastered the art of the "lean-in" for pets and will win you over with his sweet nose bumps once he gets to know you. While initially aloof with strangers, this calm and affectionate boy transforms into a devoted companion who loves being near his people. With his medium to high activity level, Atticus doesn’t dig, walks well on leash, and knows how to "sit" on command (especially when freeze-dried liver treats are involved!). He's a well-behaved traveler who does great in vehicles and handled his vet transport like a champ (he was crated for the ride). This outdoor enthusiast prefers spending time in fresh air and would thrive with an active family who can provide plenty of outdoor adventures and a secure 6-foot fence. Atticus keeps his kennel spotless and shows excellent promise for quick house-training with the right guidance. He enjoys the royal treatment at mealtime, preferring pets before diving into his food. Atticus gets along well with other dogs during leashed outdoor interactions and remains calm around kennel neighbors. This sweet boy would flourish in an active household with or without other dogs, or even in a quieter environment as long as he receives plenty of outdoor time and mental stimulation. Atticus is ready to shower his new family with the loyal, protective love that Great Pyrenees are famous for – he just needs someone to give him the chance to prove what a wonderful companion he can be.

More Information: Questions? The fastest way to learn more about a dog is to fill out our Adoption Application. If you call or e-mail you are reducing your chances of adopting this animal as we direct our time and energy to first serving those who apply.
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.
