Meet John Paul, the dashing Great Pyrenees with a heart as big as his paws! This 70-pound boy is on his way to becoming a majestic 90-pound gentle giant. With his medium soft coat and double dew claws, he's not just handsome—he's a showstopper! John Paul is the ultimate housemate. He's housebroken, loves his crate, and follows his foster mom everywhere—he is a wonderful companion. He loves playing and running with his doggy pals but knows how to chill indoors or hang out in the yard with his foster sister! John Paul is a silly and playful boy who chases the butterflies in the yard! He is a gem on a leash, making him the perfect walking buddy! Though he might be a bit shy at first, once he warms up, he's all about the cuddles. Grooming? No problem! He handles brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning like a pro. He's even learning to enjoy car rides. He loves his toys and has taught his foster sister to play with them! This boy is learning so much in his foster home! John Paul dreams of a family home with a big yard and a 5-foot secure fence where he can romp around with another dog and then hang out in the grass, soaking it all up!  His ideal home will be with a family who enjoys going for walks, hanging out inside or outdoors, and has plenty of time to continue his training and give him lots of attention!

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.
