Meet one of own precious little girls, Vivian! This cutie is already showing off her gentle and loyal nature in her foster home where she is quickly learning that the world is safe and full of love. Vivian is house-trained and crate trained, picking up commands like "go to bed" with ease. She enjoys being brushed, receiving ear rubs, and quietly following her human for affection—often sitting and gazing up, waiting for pets. While she is content inside, she also enjoys outdoor time, especially with her littermate. She has appropriate Pyr barking habits, is not an escape artist, and does well with other respectful dogs. Vivian would thrive in a loving, patient home that will continue to build her confidence through positive experiences. She would do well with an active family who can take her on adventures to explore the world safely. She may prefer a calmer home environment with a safe retreat space if things get overwhelming. She would likely enjoy having a dog brother as a companion, a 5-foot fenced yard, and people who will appreciate her quiet intelligence, affectionate nature, and potential to become a devoted companion. Vivian is ready to find her forever family—one that will cherish her gentle spirit and help her continue to grow into the amazing dog she is meant to be!

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.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids
