Sweetie Pie is Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd mix who has her name because of her charming personality and traits! She is friendly with other dogs, indifferent to cats, loves people, and does well with calm children. She has medium energy and will play with canine friends so long as they’re cool and don’t jump on her. She loves getting attention and enjoys a good hug and snuggles. Sweetie Pie is housebroken and leash-trained and likes rides in the car and walks. She has already mastered “sit” and “down” and doesn’t counter-surf or bark to excess. In fact, her foster mom says, “She’s almost perfect!” as she has no behavior issues. Her preference is to hang out inside, but she’d enjoy a 5-foot fenced yard to trot around in. Sweetie Pie is sporting a short haircut now, but we expect her fur to come in long and fluffy soon! She would love a family who also enjoys cuddles and walks, and will take her on adventures. Her name says it all, so if she sounds like the sweet companion you’re looking for, apply today!

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.
