Casper is a big, beautiful adult Pyr who came to rescue with a littermate after being surrendered to a kill shelter in Tennessee by his owner for wandering. Like most Great Pyrenees, Casper will thrive with a forever home that understands and can nurture his pyr-fect independent and adventurous spirit! While we're still getting to know him, Casper has already shown his foster mom how much he loves other dogs and how adaptable he can be. He also did great meeting a cat, giving a sniff and walking away. His big, brown eyes offer a window into his soulful personality and his gratitude for affection from his people. Casper is currently safe and sound with a foster, but is looking forward to his furever home with a pyr-savvy parent or two who can show him the good life - full of regular meals, walks together, and maybe even naps together on the couch. We know his personality will truly shine with the opportunity to settle in and show off his big heart!

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.
