This precious "Pocket Pyr" may be small in stature at just 65 lbs, but Heidi has a heart full of love to give! This sweet girl is the definition of low-maintenance and easygoing—she's a calm, quiet companion who moves through life at her own peaceful pace, loves to stop and take in the world during leisurely walks, and is beautifully behaved on leash. Completely housebroken and preferring the comfort of being inside, this dear deaf girl communicates beautifully despite her hearing loss and is incredibly gentle (her foster mom can even hear her contentedly groaning in her sleep!). She loves attention and meeting new people with polite, no-jumping affection, and she's a dream for grooming, happily accepting baths, brushing, nail trims, and even a blow-dry like the lady she is. Because she can't hear, Heidi doesn't bark at typical household noises—even Florida rocket launches don't faze her!—making her wonderfully quiet and peaceful. This devoted girl would thrive as a solo dog in a calm household with people who want a low-key companion, as she prefers her personal space away from other dogs. If you're looking for an affectionate girl who just wants to be near you, soak up your love, maybe snooze under the coffee table (bonus points if you offer her favorite treat: American cheese!), Heidi could be your PYR-fect match—ready to fill your home with quiet companionship and endless sweetness!

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.
