Meet Samson, the Fluffy Blanket Fluffer who is blind but full of love! This handsome boy may be blind, but that doesn’t stop him from being the sweetest companion you’ll ever meet! Samson's journey started when he showed up at an elderly woman's house. After a few twists and turns, he found his way to NGPR, where he's now in boarding and ready to find a foster or forever home. He needs to gain 15-20 pounds, but that will soon be cured with plenty of good meals and love. Samson is a master blanket fluffer and loves to make his bed just right before settling down. He's gentle on the leash, enjoys walks, and loves to lean on you for guidance. He's a friendly guy who wags his tail when meeting new people and is very gentle. Plus, he has no interest in cats or other dogs, making him the perfect solo pet or a great addition to a multi-pet household. Samson is currently behind a 5 ft chain link fence but has tried to escape. A 6 ft wooden privacy fence or a leash walk-only home would be best. He's not a barker unless he needs to go out, and is terrified of loud noises like fireworks, but does fine if he is inside with his people. Samson would thrive in a home with a family that is around. He can be an only pet or live with a cat or dog sibling. He doesn’t need a large yard and would do fine in a leash walk-only situation. Samson is a happy boy who loves attention and will give you his companionship in return. If you're looking for a loving and gentle companion, Samson is the perfect match for you!

More Information: Questions? The fastest way to learn more about a dog is to fill out our Adoption Application. If you call or e-mail you are reducing your chances of adopting this animal as we direct our time and energy to first serving those who apply.

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.
