My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Frosty is a lovely Pyr mix girl who's ready to bring joy and adventure to her forever home! This gentle giant is housebroken and crate trained, and learning to walk on leash. She's eager to learn and overflowing with affection—especially when it comes to her signature hugs! Frosty is a fantastic oversized mouser with high energy who would absolutely thrive with an active family that loves hiking and outdoor adventures. She knows her name and comes when called (most of the time), and she's wonderfully playful with a personality that's larger than life. When it comes to other animals, Frosty is non-confrontational with cats (mostly just ignores them), and does great with male dogs of all sizes. And she's been tested with cows and goats and did wonderfully! This extrovert LOVES all people and has never met a stranger, making her fantastic with kids, though due to her size and energy level, children ages 10 and up would be best. Frosty barks significantly less than other Pyrs unless she's having a blast playing with her dog friends. She doesn't dig, and while she adores outside time, she definitely hates active rain (though she tolerates bath time like a champ). She's a free-grazer who does best with high-energy food, loves car rides and making new friends, and prefers a larger bubble of personal space for sleeping and eating—which her crate provides perfectly. Frosty is the best of both worlds: she's down to snuggle on your feet or the couch, but she's equally ready to explore the nearest hiking trails at a moment's notice. The ideal home for this sweetheart is an active adventure family with a 6-foot fence who can keep up with her zest for life and give her all the hugs, playtime, and outdoor excitement she craves!

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.
