Female Dog, Great Pyrenees
Great Pyrenees (Long Coat)
Description:
Nurse is a sweet, shy Pyrenees girl who is looking for a family that can help her gain more confidence. She’s friendly, but timid around new people, and she really loves other dogs. A home with at least one other dog is a must! Nurse has beautiful, soft white fur and enjoys getting brushed and receiving ear rubs. She is crate-trained and house-broken and is learning to walk on a leash. This smart girl has learned several key words including “outside,” “bed” (to go to her crate), and her name. Nurse is independent and loves treats but will only take them with permission. She’s especially fond of Fritos, so she hopes her furever family has a bag with her name on it! She has playful antics, including throwing hay in the air to entertain herself! She is not a digger or a squirrel-chaser, and rarely barks. She seems to have no interest in escaping her yard or investigating the fence line, so a 4’ fence would suit her. She’s great with indoor cats, and curious but cautious of the outdoor kitties. She’s looking for a family with at least one other dog to play with, and who can help her overcome her caution about things and experiences that she hasn’t been exposed to yet. Her ideal home is one with adults (no kids) who will give her personalized attention and a stable routine. And she’d absolutely love a doggie door so she go in and out as she pleases! -Written by M.M.

More Information: Questions? The fastest way to learn more about a dog is to fill out our Adoption Application. 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.
