This super handsome boy with long and incredibly soft fur is Bear, and he’s looking for his forever home! Bear is a gentle, loving soul who thrives on being part of a family —he just wants to be wherever his people are! Bear is a social butterfly who enjoys meeting new people. He gets along well with other dogs, and he especially enjoys playing with his female Pyr friend! Bear is very smart, has basic house manners and is learning how to walk well on leash (he likes to pull to get to all the good sniffing spots!) . He has a calm, low activity level and likes spending time both indoors and outside. He rides very well in the car, making him a great companion for family outings! Bear's favorite things include chasing his tail, playing with other dogs, and snacking on bread. His ideal home would be with someone who is home most of the time, as he’s not a fan of being left alone. The more family members (human, canine or feline) to keep him company, the happier he'll be! A secure 5-foot fence will keep this gentle giant safely in your yard. If you're looking for a big, sweet soul to complete your family, Bear might be your pyrfect match!

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.
