Tiger is a handsome, young Great Pyrenees with long, soft fur and soulful eyes that give him an eternal puppy-like appearance. He has a low activity level and is already housebroken and crate trained, and learning to walk on a leash with a harness. Tiger remains selective about who he considers "his person," reflecting his cautious yet hopeful nature. His nervous disposition stems from his past (he came out of a hoarding situation), but his desire to trust is evident in his expressive eyes. He thrives in quiet environments and prefers to be inside his crate, away from loud noises and commotion. He enjoys car rides once he's settled in the vehicle, and his favorite treats include cheddar cheese, steak, and Fritos, and he particularly loves being brushed and receiving scratches behind his ears. Socially, Tiger gets along well with dogs and has rarely met one he doesn't like, especially preferring strong, dominant females who will play with him. He largely ignores cats and would do best with calm children, as loud noises make him uncomfortable. Tiger's ideal home has a 5-foot fence and includes at least one work-from-home parent who can provide the quiet time and patience needed to help him build trust. He would benefit greatly from living with a female canine sibling who can show him the ropes, and his family should have experience with unsocialized dogs. With consistent, gentle guidance and respect for his need for independence and quiet contemplation, Tiger's silly personality will gradually emerge as he learns to feel secure in his forever home. - Are you the person(s) to bring him out of his shell?! - If yes, apply for Tiger today!

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.
