Boltund, named after a Pokémon character, is a bouncy, silly boy seeking his best friend(s) forever. Full of playful puppy-like energy, you would never know Boltund was picked up roaming alone and spent some fearful time in a shelter before his clock ran out. Since being with NGPR, he has been a happy go-lucky guy in boarding while he waits for a foster family or his forever home. We know Boltund is great with other dogs, learning to walk on a leash, and we suspect that he'll be a quick study with basic commands since he already has mastered the art of the "sit." He is an affectionate adult-sized teddy bear who likes giving full-body hugs and playing with his people. Boltund has all the makings of man's best friend wrapped in a handsome package with gorgeous big, brown eyes. He's sure to bring a smile to your face with his zest for life and joy at meeting new people and dogs. He even did well meeting the resident cat, greeting it with happy tail wags and lots of sniffs. His ideal home includes a 5’ fenced yard, a parent or two to spend quality time with him on walks and other adventures, a canine sibling or two for playtime, and all the love and affection he's been missing in his short life. Think you're up for sharing a heart and home with this loving goofball? Take a chance on Boltund!

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.
