Halloo, Axl here, I am just a boy, in search of a human(s) to call my own. I heard my foster mom saying I am close to PYRfect—I kind of agree, after all what is there not to love about me? Handsome, smart, sweet, lovable and I get along with all living creatures! She kind of makes me blush.. just a little! I love all the dogs in my foster home and can often be found playing with them in the yard or mouthing on the dog bed. When we are done, we love to cuddle on the beds or out in the sun. I don’t even mind the cats or the giant dogs in the field—I think they call them horses, but what do I know? I love my crate, but truth be known, I am getting old enough and love to sleep and nap on the giant dog bed. I love my human, and sometimes I like to walk up and just stare at her, waiting for attention. Treats, toys – oh yeah, I love them all. My ideal home will have another dog or two to play and hang with, a big, 4-foot fenced yard, and some kids would be swell too—imagine what fun we would have! I wish for a loving family to take me for adventures and teach me lots of new cool stuff! I can’t wait to meet you…XOXO, Axl

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.
