Beethoven is a stunning senior male who's as majestic as he is affectionate. Though he is certainly well past puppyhood, his timeless playful spirit and energy shine through whether he's going for a gallop in the yard or a belly-up wiggle in the house. Beethoven is housebroken, leash-trained, and a quick learner who has mastered good manners like taking treats gently and respecting indoor spaces. A real people "person," Beethoven thrives as the center of attention, always curious about your activities and eager to join in. He loves car rides, being brushed, and spending time indoors or out, whether lounging by your side or exploring the yard. Beethoven would be a perfect fit for a family with older children or an individual seeking a devoted companion. He’d love to be the only dog in his furever home, and hopes to have a 5-foot fenced in yard! His foster mom described him as the type of dog to quickly become someone special's whole heart. Beethoven is a safe bet for a family seeking a brilliant companion whose joy for living doesn't fade with time. He's waiting for the perfect pyrents to snatch him up and show him the good life!

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.
