Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Brody is a gentle, reflective, “thinking boy” who has blossomed from a scared stray into a dog who lights up when he sees his person. He greets you with a smile, a big tail wag, and that classic Pyr lean, nudging your hand with his nose if you pause - he loves being close and loves being loved. Once a stray who cautiously approached a restaurant for help, Brody has shown remarkable resilience. He likely never lived indoors before, but he keeps his space clean and has discovered a deep love for blankets. He’ll stretch out on one or fluff it into a pillow, and if the crate door is open, he’ll happily tuck himself right in. Bare floors still make him nervous, so he’s learning to move confidently from rug to rug. Brody is learning basic commands and has mastered walking well on a leash, and responds to gentle corrections. True to his Pyr nature, he may put on the brakes if he disagrees with your direction, but he’ll follow when you insist. His personality is gentle and laidâback, though he’ll happily tuck his butt and playfully bump into you when he’s feeling silly. He is friendly with other dogs and greets them politely, though he prefers not to share his food, so mealtime management is important. He isn’t much of a player and instead enjoys quiet companionship with people. He has met cats and was wonderfully gentle, sniffing each one politely before moving on. Brody will need a secure 6âfoot fence, as he can easily clear a 5âfoot one. A leashâwalkâonly home could work, but having a fenced area where he can relax, explore, or dig a cozy dirt spot would be ideal. He enjoys being brushed and handled, and rides calmly in the car after climbing in slowly. Brody’s perfect home is one with Pyr experience - someone who understands his thoughtful nature, respects his pace, and appreciates the quiet devotion he offers. He would do well with a cat or another dog, but he would also thrive as an only dog where he doesn’t have to share attention. Brody has so much love to give. He simply needs a person who wants a dog to truly cherish - and he will give that love back tenfold.

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