Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bear and Glacier are an absolutely precious senior bonded pair of Great Pyrenees who are ready for all your snuggles! This sweet brother-sister duo spent their entire lives together as outdoor dogs, and their devotion to each other is simply beautiful. After their owner became ill, they were cared for by her daughter, who unfortunately passed away from cancer. And now these tender souls find themselves in boarding, where they're patiently waiting for a foster or forever home to call their own. Bear, the handsome fellow with pink under his eye, and Glacier, the lovely lady with natural black eyeliner, are wonderfully mild-mannered seniors who would thrive in a home where they can get lots of attention. Their foster mom describes them as "the most gentle, calm and loving dogs who just want to be with their person." Their house-training status is unknown since they’re in boarding, but they both keep their kennels spotless, which bodes well for their future house-training. They've proven themselves excellent with cats (as long as the felines are respectful), non-reactive to other dogs, and are completely unfazed by donkeys and goats, though they're admittedly not fans of chickens! With a 4-foot fence, they're content as can be, and they're not diggers or big barkers unless someone unexpected arrives and they need to alert you. While they prefer spending time outdoors where they've always been most comfortable, they absolutely adore coming inside for snuggles and affection. They handle grooming beautifully because it means extra attention, and any people food is considered a special treat! These gems show no resource guarding whatsoever and meet new people with calm, loving energy. Their ideal forever home would be a farm with protected shelter offering warmth and dryness, or a house with a doggie door where they can choose their own indoor-outdoor adventures. Whether you're a senior looking for gentle companionship or a family with older children, Bear and Glacier would make absolutely perfect additions to your life!

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. January 6, 2026, 1:34 pm
