Snowy - A sweet, lovable girl with doe eyes that will capture your heart! She looks at her people in the most loving puppy-dog kind of way, just begging to be snuggled and loved on! Snowy enjoys meeting new people, but will take a brief minute to warm up to tall men. She mostly ignored the cats she’s met, but she absolutely loves other dogs! She plays with her foster sibling and goes to doggie day care where little-miss-socialite has lots of friends. This smart pup is leash trained and knows “sit,” “stay,” and “wait.” She is medium energy, showcasing spurts of energy here and there, loving to play with her toys and other dogs, and then mellowing out for a good cuddle session with her humans. She’d love a secure 6’ fenced-in yard to get in some activity after dinner, and then settle in for the night inside near her people. A canine brother to play with would be ideal, but she’d also do well as an only dog. - She’s a hoot and loves entertaining herself with toys! Her must-have in a furever home is to be with people who will let her snuggle on the couch with them, and support her goofy and funny side too! She makes the silliest murmurs and talks after dinner when she’s lying down to relax! This pocket-sized Pyr will show you her affection when you get home from being away, as she always wants a hug and greeting before she will go outside. Besides cuddles and play time, some of Snowy’s favorite things include belly rubs, giving gentle hugs, and cheese and turkey snacks! If you’re looking for a long-haired beauty with the best Pyr-sonality, look no further than Snowy!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

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.
