Great Pyrenees puppies and dogs in Spring Lake, New Jersey

Meet Yeti.11 months old, nearly a year, Great Pyrenees mix, and about 90 lbs of big-hearted, goofy energy. Yeti really needs a win before Christmas. His foster family will be traveling soon, and we are hoping more than anything to find him a foster-to-adopt or forever home so he doesn’t have to be moved again. He’s already been shuffled enough in his young life and deserves to settle in for good. Three words that describe him best: goofy, playful, energetic. Yeti loves long walks through Brooklyn Bridge Park, intense tug-of-war sessions, watching birds fly by, and making new friends everywhere he goes. After he burns off his puppy energy, he turns into a total cuddly dog who just wants to be close to his people. He is house trained, sleeps in his crate from 10 to 7 like a pro, eats on a great routine, and is overall a really well-mannered big puppy. On leash he does great most of the time, but when he gets overstimulated he can get mouthy with the leash and sleeves in a playful way. He is already working with a professional trainer and making steady progress. With other dogs, Yeti is very friendly and enthusiastic. He loves to play and assumes everyone wants to wrestle and be best friends. Because of his size and puppy energy, he does best with supervision and a dog that can handle rough, playful energy. With structure, he’s going to be an amazing canine sibling. Yeti has spent some time in a home with cats, but because of his curiosity and playful chase instincts with squirrels, a cat-savvy, dog-experienced home would be best if there are cats in the home (and a cat that can handle some big puppy energy). He has met children and absolutely loves them, but can also intimidate those not used to big dogs because of his size. The ideal home for Yeti is active, patient, and ready to continue his training and help him learn how to regulate his excitement. A yard would be great but is not required if he gets long walks and daily exercise. Another playful dog could be a great match for them to burn off energy together all day long. ##2551381##

Big Mac isn’t just an 80-pound furball — he’s a gentle giant with an even bigger heart. This 8 ½-year-old Great Pyrenees/Husky mix has the perfect balance of guardian spirit and adventurous soul. Sadly, Mac was surrendered by the only person he’d ever known when she moved, but he hasn’t lost his sweet nature. He truly is the definition of a “gentle giant”: ✨ Walks beautifully on leash ✨ Housetrained ✨ Loves belly rubs & lounging ✨ Enjoys playdates with his dog friends ✨ Car rides & beach walks are his favorite ✨ Knows “sit” and “paw” — and takes treats so gently Big Mac would thrive in a quiet, loving home where he can be your loyal companion. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped — and thanks to a generous sponsor, his adoption fee is fully covered. 💙 Ready to fall in love with Big Mac?

Fire - 9 weeks &16lbs (as of 12/9),PYR Mix, Spayed Expected Full Grown Size To Be About 80lbs  This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Level of dog ownership experience needed:INTERMEDIATE: As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also  tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy levelMEDIUM: Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  POTTY TRAINED?Working on this skill. Puppies under 12 weeks old are often on track with their wee pad skills, but they’re too young to walk outside in public NYC areas yet because they haven’t finished their puppy vaccine series. Puppies older than 12 weeks are usually learning to do their business outside. Potty training takes a lot of patience, consistency, and clean up.  SOCIAL WITH DOGS?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully. How they interact with other dogs depends largely on how their humans help them learn to.  SOCIAL WITH CHILDREN?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Yes… but most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   SOCIAL WITH CATS?Yes. Almost all puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners.  MOUTHY PLAY: High! All puppies go through phases where they chew your stuff and grab your hands, arms, feet… puppies naturally explore the world, play, and test boundaries with their mouths. (It also happens when they’re teething.) Their teeth are super sharp though, so it can be a very painful phase for humans and other animals in the home. Proper training, outlets, and socialization are key. SEPARATION ANXIETYMEDIUM: Most puppies have some level of separation anxiety as they learn to self soothe. Often they cry the first 10+ minutes when they are left home alone or in a crate. Consistent training and alone time is crucial. LEASH MANNERS:None. :) Will need to learn this skill.   CRATE TRAINED:Nope. None of our new puppies have been formally trained, but many of our foster parents/adopters choose to crate train. It can be a great way to keep puppies safe and teach them independence. MEDICAL STATUS:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines (for dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age), spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon HOW DID THIS DOG END UP WITH US?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.  PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses though!  This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes.

Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Thier Foster Parent Says: "Floria is settling in well! She such a calm, observant, intelligent puppy. She learned sit immediately and is consistently using her pee pads already! She is very responsive to training with treats. She absolutely loves spending with time with people and cuddling while we work from home or read a book. I anticipate she would be great family dog!"  Level of dog ownership experience needed:INTERMEDIATE: As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day.

We wanted this dog for our family farm, we had her for two years and she was great. She is an outdoor barn dog that stays on the farm. She is an amazing and kind dog, very good with children but we do not have time to take care of her. She has lived outside her whole life but with proper training she could become an indoor dog. She is two years old, very calm and friendly. Good dog for outdoor and adventurous people.

** Tune in to our Facebook page (Great Pyrenees Rescue Society - GPRS) every Sunday at 3pm CT to see our dogs LIVE!  You can also find previous episodes on our YouTube channel (@gprspyrs). If you would like a specific dog to be featured on our show, please email us at info@greatpyreneesrescuesociety.org.** Meet Humphry—a sweet little lovebug with the soul of a poet. As the biggest pup in his litter, you might assume he would be the rowdy kid in the bunch, but Humphry’s the one quietly taking it all in—like a little philosopher in fur. While his siblings bounce and tumble, Humphry is often found taking in the world with curious eyes, as if he’s making sure he doesn’t miss a single detail. Born in May 2025, Humphry is the kind of pup who’d rather give you a soft puppy kiss than wrestle for the spotlight. He’s a certified snuggler, happiest when he’s curled up in your lap and soaking in every hug and kiss you’re willing to give. Calm, sweet, and irresistibly cuddly, Humphry is proof that the biggest paws can belong to the softest soul. Whoever scoops up this little cutie is in for a lifetime of puppy smooches and loyal companionship. Humphry will need obedience training as he gets older and mature. There is a lot for a puppy to learn and like all small puppies, he will need someone who can be home with him a lot and provide him with love, patience and boundaries to help him become a loyal companion. He loves the companionship of other animals and requires another dog in the home to act as his mentor as he continues to understand the rules of his new world.

PUPPIES ARE ONLY PLACED IN HOMES WITH YOUTHFUL, PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOGS WHO ARE AT LEAST 50 POUNDS. Our requirements for puppy adoptions are simple and necessary. Our puppies are not livestock guardians, they are family pets that live inside of the family home. Puppies must be placed in homes with a youthful, adult resident dog of similar size. This gives the puppy a mentor and a solid foundation for becoming part of the family. Puppies are only adopted to homes with someone at home at least part of the day.

GPRS and its fosters work diligently to find the right fit for each and every unique dog and puppy. Applicant’s personal pets must be current on vaccines & heartworm/flea prevention and be altered. Adoption fee: $450 (Adoption fee includes spay or neuter, distemper/parvo vaccines, flea preventative, deworming, and health certificate for travel).
