Meet Lucy! This laid-back and super sweet girl came into rescue after being surrendered by her owner alongside a recent litter of puppies. Now that the puppies have weaned and she's had consistent care, Lucy-girl is getting some pep back in her step. She is a pocket-pyr, weighing in around 70 lbs and sporting a smaller stature than the breed standard. She is leash-trained, gets along with cats and other dogs, and politely waits for attention and affection from her people. Lucy has not had the princess treatment yet in her short life, and would benefit from a loving foster home while she awaits her forever family. But if she sounds like the pyrfect addition to your family, by all means, she hopes you’ll apply to be her furever! We know that she prioritizes gentle cuddles and enjoys being outside in the sun with her person. A 5-foot fenced yard would suit her fine. A pyrfect home for her could include a calm canine or feline friend, someone to take her out for walks, and plenty of spoiling her with everything the good life has to offer. If you're seeking a special, sweet girl to add to your family, Lucy is sure to win over your 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.
