Story
This is Mischif the American Bulldog. He is 61 pounds and approximately 10-12 years old. He was recently surrendered to us due to no fault of his own. He is deaf and follows basic commands by hand signal. Mischif is very sweet with people, ignores other dogs, and loves to play ball! He is a lovable senior pup who wants to take nice walks and hang out with his people. Mischif is intact. Due to his age, it was decided that it’s in his best interest to not neuter him. Help make Mischif’s senior years special in a loving home!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Buster is an all-around sweetheart who is seeking his furever home! This handsome adult Pyr mix came to us as an owner surrender from a Virginia shelter, and he can’t wait to have some toys and a comfy bed to call his own. With his soft, short coat and adorably super curly tail, Buster is quite the charmer—but it's his affectionate personality that really steals the show! This love-bug absolutely adores being with people and will melt your heart when he puts his head against your leg and gazes directly into your eyes, pleading for ear rubs and chin scratches. Buster is very healthy and full of energy, walking well on leash once you establish yourself as the leader with firm, confident guidance. He's a smart boy who knows "come" (especially when food is involved!) and loves going for car rides. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or moving about the house, Buster is perfectly content to plop down and hang out with you, particularly if there's a big pillow or cushy dog bed nearby! He is fine with cats, and he shows friendly interest in other dogs, wagging his tail when they pass by. If you're looking for a devoted companion who'll shower you with affection and become your constant shadow, Buster is your guy!

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. We have many Pyrs and Pyr mixes who need homes.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Meet Lorelai, a sweet, gentle girl who seems to have been born to be everyone’s best friend! This lovely Pyr was found roaming the roads in Tennessee, but she hasn’t let her uncertain beginnings dim her loving spirit. She is housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, making her a wonderful companion ready to settle into her forever home. Lorelai has a medium activity level and enjoys playing with other dogs in the yard, but she’s equally happy soaking up the sunshine or relaxing beside her favorite person. She prefers being indoors with her family and would love a home with a canine brother and a 4-foot fenced yard. Lorelai absolutely adores people and is always excited to meet someone new. She wants all the attention she can get and is generous with her sweet, gentle hugs! She has the most irresistible ways of politely asking for affection, and even when she’s playing, she’s remarkably gentle. Before coming to her current foster home, Lorelai regularly visited a property where she interacted wonderfully with several young children. She happily accepted their hugs and pets and even let them walk her on a lead without any issues. She also befriended the family’s chunky goat and enjoyed hanging out with her! Lorelai doesn’t mind cats, either, and seems to do best with male dogs, and doesn’t appear to care for puppies. When it comes to her favorite activities, brushing is high on the list and is one of the quickest ways to win her heart. She also enjoys car rides, sunshine, snuggles, and, of course, chicken nuggets! Rainy weather isn’t her favorite, and she may need some encouragement to venture outside when it’s wet. Loud noises can make her uncomfortable, too, so a patient, reassuring family will help her feel safe and secure. Lorelai is truly a family dog with love to spare. She doesn’t care what kind of day you’ve had or what you’re going through - she has friendship to offer. She’ll gladly welcome her people, befriend her furry housemates, keep them company, and snuggle up with them, too. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will make you feel like her favorite person every single day, Lorelai is ready to wrap you in a hug and steal your heart! NGPR Pooch Profile Name: Lorelai in CT  Age: 7 yrs 1 mo old as of October 2026  Color: White  Dew Claws: Yes, Single on one leg, double on the other  Estimated Adult Weight: 85 lbs  Current Location: NGPR approved foster in Enfield, CT  Medical: Spayed, dewormed, positive for heartworm and undergoing treatment, up-to-date on vaccinations and currently on flea, tick and heartworm preventative. This dog travels with an Interstate Health Certificate required by the USDA confirming that all the above criteria have been met.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Meet Pleekly, an adorable Great Pyrenees and English Mastiff mix who is ready to find his forever family! This mild-mannered, eager-to-please pup is a quick learner who is excited to discover the world and make his people proud. He’s working on his leash skills and learning household routines, but he catches on quickly and is happy to learn. One of the sweetest things about Pleekly is how he likes to walk right alongside you, hopping his way down the path while giving your hand an affectionate lick. He is crate-trained, has a medium activity level, and comes with a handy little on/off switch for puppy mode, so you can enjoy his playful side without being entertained by puppy antics every waking minute! Pleekly is a social guy who loves making friends, whether they have four legs or two! He has been exposed to other dogs and enjoys playing with new canine pals. Having another friendly dog in his forever home would be perfect, especially one who can show him the ropes. He has also been around cats and shows interest while remaining gentle in their presence. Although he hasn't met children yet, we suspect he could do well with them; because he is going to be a big boy, a home with dog-savvy children ages 6 and up would be the best fit. When it comes to house manners, Pleekly is a pleasantly quiet pup, making about the amount of noise you'd expect from a puppy and generally staying quieter indoors. In fact, he mostly speaks up when he needs to go potty! He hasn’t shown any interest in digging (yet). When the weather is lovely, you'll often find him happily rotating between his doghouse and a sunny patch of grass, soaking up the fresh air and enjoying the simple pleasures of a beautiful day. And when it's time to settle down for a nap, Pleekly has his own adorable style: he prefers to curl up in the classic cat bun position rather than flop upside down like a typical pup. And offer him a chicken nugget, and you will have a friend for life! Pleekly would thrive in a moderately active home where he can enjoy companionship, keep his mind and body busy, and continue learning at his own pace. A 5-foot securely fenced yard would give him a safe place to explore, play, and enjoy the sunshine. Pleekly needs a family ready to help him grow into the wonderful companion he's meant to be. With his sweet nature, eagerness to learn, and irresistible combination of puppy hops and hand kisses, Pleekly is sure to bring plenty of smiles and affection to his forever home! NGPR Pooch Profile Name: Pleekly in TN  Age: 6 months old as of October 2026  Color: Tan with white and black markings  Dew Claws: Yes, Double  Estimated Adult Weight: 100+ lbs  Current Location: NGPR approved foster in Bruceton, TN Medical: Pup will be placed on a spay/neuter contract with a date specified for the spay or neuter procedure to be performed by.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Kenzi is a happy, athletic, fun-loving Pyr who seems to have a permanent smile on her face! She was found as a stray in Indiana after tornadoes hit the area, and she’s now ready to find an active family to call her own. Kenzi is super smart, eager to learn, housebroken, and leash trained. She is also crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night. Her favorite things in the world are playing and hanging out with other dogs, going for walks and hikes, and getting belly rubs. She’ll happily roll over for a tummy scratch and make it very clear that she’d prefer you never stop! She also loves treats, bully sticks, and chews, and she does great in the car. Kenzi absolutely LOVES other dogs and must have a canine companion around her size who enjoys wrestling, running, and playing as much as she does. She gets along with both males and females, respects older dogs who prefer a quieter life, and would do well in a multi-dog household. She enjoys spending time outside, especially when another dog is out there with her, so a 6-foot fenced yard is a must. Although Kenzi loves people and happily makes new friends, she seems to love dogs even more! She has been friendly with everyone she's met, and even her vet's office and dog sitter adore her. She would be a great companion for an active family who enjoys outings to parks, walks, hikes, and kids' sporting events. Kenzi has lived with 5 cats and will playfully chase them, but she doesn't hurt them. She responds to commands and redirects easily, and she stops when the cats hiss or swat at her. Her experience with children has been limited, but she should do well with children older than seven who understand and are comfortable around energetic dogs. Kenzi enjoys being both inside and outside with her family and canine buddies, but she doesn't like being alone (or storms). Fortunately, having another dog around helps her feel comfortable, even when her people leave the house. Kenzi's cheerful personality, boundless enthusiasm, and tremendous love for her dog friends make her a special girl. If you have an active home, a playful canine companion, and plenty of belly-rub time to spare, Kenzi may be the perfect addition to your family!
