Oliver…we can’t say enough great things about this happy boy with the sunny personality! Despite his poor condition when he came to rescue, he always had a smile, ready to take on the day! This pup loves people and everything he encounters, patiently waiting for his leash so he can go on an adventure. He loves to run around the yard and play with the girls in his foster home and loves meeting other dogs, male and female, but he would also do great in a home as an only. Cats… he simply ignores them, even when they rub against his legs begging for attention! He has learned to sit for a treat and will go in a crate, but he really thinks he is above all that so will vocalize to be sure you are aware, and then lay down and patiently wait for the door to open! Oliver says, bring on the training sessions, if you can teach it, I can learn… for a treat, of course! Oliver’s wish list has a big, 5-foot fenced yard, and a family with big dog experience and plenty of love to give. If you open your home to Oliver, you will be rewarded with never-ending tail wags and smiles! He is truly a beautiful boy inside and out!

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.
