Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Serenity was a Tennessee stray, limping and wandering with two pups that she was nursing. She was in tough shape, extremely matted and had an older break in her leg - her kneecap was completely shattered so the leg started to bow out and the muscles around that leg atrophied. Unfortunately she was not able to keep her leg. Serenity has absolutely blossomed in foster care, and her story today is not one of hardship - it's one of joy, speed, and an endless supply of love for everyone she meets. Don't let those three legs fool you: this girl runs like the wind, leaving her four-legged foster siblings in the dust! She zooms around the yard in glorious bursts of energy, then saunters inside to claim her rightful spot on a cushioned bench like the queen she is. Serenity is housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, and her manners are genuinely impressive - she'll sit, wait for an "ok" before eating, and give you her paw. A 4-foot fence is plenty to keep her safely contained, as she has no interest in jumping. Her gorgeous coat is long and silky soft, without an overwhelming amount of undercoat, making grooming more manageable than you might expect from a Pyr. She gets along wonderfully with dogs big and small, and lives harmoniously with the resident cat - they're actual buddies. She's been wonderful with teenage kids and will likely be great with younger children too, given her gentle nature, though her occasional klutziness means supervision around babies and toddlers is a good idea. As for new people, her agenda is simple: get her ears scratched and bask in all the attention. Her foster says it best: "Initially you feel sorry for her because of her leg amputation, but now I forget about it. She's so energetic and playful and the sweetest dog. Her story should be about who she is now and not what happened to her before. She's goofy and she loves everyone and everything." Serenity would thrive with a yard to run and explore and would be happiest with other dog companions to romp with, though she could certainly be a beloved only dog with people who are home often and ready to shower her with affection. If you're looking for a fun-loving, energetic, cuddly girl who gets along with absolutely everyone, Serenity is your girl.

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. April 8, 2026, 2:44 pm
