Shadow is a giant love bug who came to rescue after being surrendered to a kill shelter by his owner for roaming. Luckily, we were able to save him just in time, and we know that with proper structure and care from a responsible, Pyrenees-informed owner, Shadow's roaming days are behind him. He is a sweet boy who likes the company of other dogs, spending time basking in the winter sun, and staring lovingly into his people's eyes. We're still learning about what makes this beautiful boy tick, but he is ready for a foster home where he can settle in and show off his character to some adoring fans. He’s a follower, and needs another dog in his foster and furever homes. He adores people and getting attention, and will give you the Pyr-Paw to ask for pets. He’s a giant boy and will lean into you and follow you around, hoping for more lovings! He did well meeting the resident cat, giving gentle sniffs. If Shadow could talk, he might whisper to you that he feels a little naked with his new haircut. He needed to be shaved, but his gorgeous fluffy white coat will be back in no time to complete his majestic classic Pyrenees look. If you have space in your home and heart to show a sweet, deserving soul the perks of a comfortable life, Shadow just may be your next best friend while he awaits his forever home!

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.
