Male Dog, Great Pyrenees
Great Pyrenees (Long Coat)
Description:
Bull is a sweet and gentle boy who is ready to find his furever family! He came from an outdoor hoarding situation where he had minimal human contact. Though still cautious with new people, Bull has mastered several basic skills - he is fully housebroken, crate trained, and leash trained. He also has excellent recall and comes when called for food, treats, and at nighttime. Bull has an active personality and loves running and playing, and he would love a 5’ fenced yard and a canine playmate in his new home. Bull is submissive, and happy and playful with other dogs of all sizes, which have included an 8-pound Yorkie, and 120-pound Anatolian mix! He is non-reactive to cats and rabbits. With children, he remains fearful and does best with older, quiet, and gentle kids - he has allowed the resident 10-year-old to pet him, showing his capacity to build trust over time. This good boy is non-destructive, shows zero aggression, and is very quiet indoors. When outside, he demonstrates his guardian skills by alert barking to strange noises. Bull tends to be independent, comfortable spending time on his own while keeping a watchful eye on household activities. This handsome guy has long, soft white fur and LOVES being brushed. More of his favorite things include back and ear scratches, and treats like peanut butter and salmon! Bull’s ideal home will be with a confident and playful dog to help lead him, and a quiet family or individual who will be with him most of the time. He needs someone who will work to form a bond with him, who is extremely patient and committed to long-term training. If you’re willing to coax him out of his shell, you will be rewarded with the love and loyalty of our sweet Bull!

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.
