Sweet, playful Ronno - this happy boy is ready to bring joy to his forever home! Despite his past as part of a neglect case, Ronno's gentle spirit shines through with his loving personality. This handsome fellow has a thick, soft coat and the sweetest disposition, though he can be a bit shy at first, especially with men. Don't let his initial shyness fool you - he warms up quickly and loves nothing more than spending quality time with both humans and other dogs! Ronno will make you smile with his surprisingly deep, big bark that seems to come out of nowhere. He's a moderately active pup who enjoys outdoor time and would thrive with a somewhat active family who can give him lots of quality attention. A 5-foot fenced yard would suit him well, or he could be a leash-walk only dog. While he's still learning house manners and basic commands, Ronno shows great potential and walks well on a leash after his initial excitement settles. He’s also learning to ride in the car. He's a gentle soul who politely greets outdoor cats with a friendly sniff and does wonderfully with other dogs, though other dogs would appreciate that Ronno gets his own dining space at mealtime so he doesn’t wander from bowl to bowl, casually grazing wherever he pleases - he doesn’t know that this is a dining faux pas! This sweet boy loves his humans, and nothing says “I love you too Ronno” like his favorite treat: a raw egg!

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.
