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!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Koby, an incredibly resilient, joyful Pyr who has never let his rough start slow him down! Koby was found as a stray in Alabama with an injured front leg. Sadly, the leg could not be saved and was amputated, making Koby a 3-legged pup - but you’d never know it from watching him go! He is extremely mobile, can run surprisingly fast, loves to play and dig, and approaches life with an infectious, happy attitude. Watching him race around and wrestle with his doggie friends is both inspiring and absolutely adorable. Koby is a high-energy boy who is happiest when he has other dogs around. He currently lives with 6 dogs of various ages and sizes and absolutely adores every one of them. He loves following them around, exploring alongside them, and especially playing with them. Because dogs are such an important part of his happiness, Koby needs a home with at least one or two other playful, high-energy dogs who will spend lots of time with him. A younger dog would be wonderful as a playmate, while an older dog could give him a canine role model to learn from. His ideal family will also be active and enjoy taking him places, playing with him, and giving him plenty of opportunities to explore. A 4-foot fenced yard would be ideal for this adventurous boy. Koby is housebroken and crate trained, and he knows “sit” and “come,” and is continuing to learn. He does well indoors, especially when his dog friends are nearby, although he definitely prefers being outside where he can relax in his favorite hole and watch the world go by. He gets around best on carpet, which is easier with three legs, but he has also learned to confidently navigate his foster home, which has wood flooring. Koby is a sweet and affectionate guy who enjoys meeting new people and loves being petted and showered with attention. He has met many people during his time with his foster family and has been wonderful with them. With a proper introduction, he is expected to be a great companion around children. He has also seen cats from a distance without reacting to them. He enjoys being brushed, chewing on hard bones, and playing with his stuffies. What makes Koby truly special is his incredible spirit. Despite losing a front leg at a young age, he has remained gentle, loving, playful, and full of life. He is a happy little tripod who seems determined to squeeze every ounce of fun out of every day. He will make you laugh, brighten your day with his positive attitude, and love his people and canine friends with his whole heart. Koby is looking for a fun, active, dog-filled home where he can run, play, explore, and continue showing everyone that three legs are more than enough for a very big life!

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. 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! *** Fluffy is a sweet, affectionate Pyr who came to NGPR from a North Carolina shelter as an owner surrender for an unknown reason, and he’s now ready to find his forever person. He is housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and knows “sit,” with lovely house manners. A medium-energy boy, Fluffy enjoys both indoor and outdoor time, especially walks, playtime, and running and rolling in the grass. He is the most affectionate guy with the sweetest puppy-dog eyes and loves resting his head against your leg for pets. He’s also wonderfully silly, with a hilarious “boot scoot” run that will keep you smiling! Fluffy is shy when meeting new people and has not yet been exposed to children, so a home with respectful introductions and appropriate supervision would be best. He has done well with both male and female big dogs and could happily live with or without canine companions, although he might enjoy having a friend to play with. He is shy around cats but doesn’t bother them, and he has shown little interest in the resident rabbits (who are separated by a gate). He doesn’t dig, doesn’t appear to be an escape artist, and is quieter than the average Pyr - he is generally quiet in the house unless other dogs start howling, at which point he happily joins the chorus! If you howl at him, be prepared for a full-on Fluffy serenade. His ideal home would be a semi-active family who will include him in walks and playtime, with either a canine buddy or plenty of attention from his people. A 4-foot fenced yard would be appropriate, or he can be a leash-walk-only dog. Fluffy is a wonderful “beginner” Pyr who is silly, playful, loving, and simply wants someone of his own to love and be loved by.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Lillie is a stunning Great Pyrenees girl with that classic Pyr look everyone adores, and a wonderfully soft fur coat that begs to be petted! This sweet girl has mastered her crate training and knows basic obedience commands including “sit,” “down,” and “wait,” and she even learned “leave it” in just 3 days, showing off her super smarts. She’s non-destructive and doesn’t tear apart her stuffies. Her foster mom trusts her to freely roam the house uncrated when she’s home alone. With a medium activity level, Lillie is a lovely balance of playful and relaxed, and she's content in a 4.5-foot fenced yard with no desire whatsoever to escape. She gets along with other large dogs (she calmly ignores the neighbor pups) and has proven herself wonderful with new people on her many walks - she even handled being passed to a stranger with grace when her foster mom had a fall. Lillie keeps her barking to a minimum, though she'll happily join in an appropriate howl session when the trains race by on the nearby tracks or planes fly overhead (she's convinced she can catch them both!). This charming girl enjoys both indoor and outdoor time but prefers to have her people nearby when she's outside. She's a bit hesitant about hopping into the car and needs some coaxing, but once she's in, she's perfectly fine. Lillie has a preference for dining solo before rejoining the fun, but has no problems accepting treats nose-to-nose with the resident dog. Her favorite treat? - Peanut Butter Ritz Bits, which make excellent training treats. Her very best quality? - This loving girl adores being loved on and would happily sit in your lap all day if you'd let her! An active home where she'll get plenty of attention and affection would be absolutely perfect for this Pyr princess.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Meet Marie, a beautiful example of the classic Great Pyrenees look shrunk down into a "Pocket Pyr" package. Marie came to rescue after being found chained to a house in Alabama, and that hard start has left her with a fear of people. It takes patience to earn her trust - approaching slowly, bending down, hands out, and speaking in a soft voice - but once she settles, she melts into pets and hugs and clearly craves connection. She isn't yet socialized enough for formal obedience training, but she knows "go outside," "go potty," and "come.” She's a low-activity girl who prefers being indoors, doesn't bark, and doesn't dig. That said, she would love a secure, 5-foot fenced yard to enjoy with a doggie friend. Marie gets along fine with cats and currently shares her foster home with 2 dogs - a 5-pound Shih Tzu and a 100-pound male Great Pyrenees, doing wonderfully with both. In fact, she needs a male Pyr companion in her next home. When she first arrived in foster care, she ran straight to the resident big boy and has stuck by his side ever since, drawing real comfort and confidence from him. Among her favorite things are car rides, where she's an excellent passenger, and being brushed and petted once she's calm and settled. While she’s easily spooked by people, she’s proven to be a good client with the groomer, who reports that she does well there. Marie likely knows that tasty rewards of bacon treats and cheese will soon be delivered! A couple of her endearing quirks: she'll only eat while lying in her bed rather than walking over to a bowl, and she prefers to drink water when no one is in the room. Marie’s ideal home is with adults who have experience with easily spooked dogs and have successfully worked through that kind of fear before. They should bring an abundance of patience and calm voices to the table, and hopefully work from home. It will take months for her to fully acclimate, and she'll need people who don't expect too much too soon. But she is trying, every day, to overcome her nervousness - and that effort is part of what makes her so special. She is deeply loving and clearly longs to give and receive love, even though it's still hard for her right now. Her foster mom calls her Marie Laveau, after the magical woman of New Orleans, because she believes the magic in her will shine through for the right family willing to wait for it.
