Ethel is an enthusiastic and charming gal who is ready for her furever family! She came into rescue as a stray with her brother Fred, and they are both oh-so-happy to be receiving all the love and attention they were missing while traveling on their own. Full of energy, this young gal enjoys playing with other dogs, tossing around her toys, and hanging out with her humans. She is non-destructive, walks well on leash, is crate trained, and does great in the car. Ethel is a pleasant young lady who greets everyone she meets with a smile, be they two-legged or four; she’s sweet with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. She’s even great with the tiniest of humans - babies and kids! Her dream day would include going for a walk, having a roll-around wrestling match with a doggie pal, and ending with a snuggle session with her people! Ethel loves to give hugs and cuddle with her humans. Ethel will require a home with a secure, five-foot fenced yard and a canine brother who she can look up to for advice and to help her learn the ropes and routine. If you are ready for your furry best friend, this fun and playful girl is waiting for you!

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.
