Falcore is a big lovable goof that loves to run and play, and then crash next to his human. Being outside is his FAVORITE, so having a human that also loves the outdoors would be icing on the cake. Speaking of cake… He’s very food motivated and therefore easy to train. He already knows his basic commands, is crate trained (though he’d rather not use it), and walks well on leash (and learning not to pull). Falcore likes to drag his blankets around with him, and then settle in for a chew on a good bully stick or antler. More of his favorite things include being brushed, riding in the car, and going for walks and hikes. Do you have kitties?! - If so, Falcore would love to meet them, as he's great with cats! He currently lives with four and generally ignores them, but will allow them to rub on him. The outdoor stray cats however, they deserve to get barked at - he is a typical Pyr guardian and alert barker. This fun guy likes to play with other dogs, but when not playing, he is very chill and laid-back inside. He is submissive with other dogs, getting along with all of them, sharing toys and waiting his turn for treats or food. This sweet boy is shy with new people, taking some time to warm up. He will hang out in the other room until he feels comfortable. When on walks or in public, he accepts pets from people. At home with his own humans, he adores being cuddled and petted! An ideal home for Falcore would be where he could get lots of outdoor time in a 5-foot fenced yard. And another dog to play with would be great! Or he could be an only dog as long as he has plenty of enrichment activities. – Are you his Pyrfect Match?!

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.
