I follow that woman EVERYWHERE. She moves, I move. She sits, I’m right there. If she ever figures out how to shower without me supervising, I’ll be shocked.

I guess you could say I’m a little Velcro girl!

I’ll be ready for adoption NEXT WEEK, and I’m hoping my freedom ride is just the beginning of a lifetime of adventures with my forever family.

THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH. NOW IT’S THEIR TURN TO LEARN THAT LIFE CAN BE GOOD. ❤️

Please welcome Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil & Columbia.

These four beautiful girls were among the dogs rescued from a condemned property where they lived covered in fleas, feces and urine, with little to no socialization.

Right now, they’re still in the shelter—and they’re struggling. The noise, unfamiliar surroundings and sheer overwhelm have made it difficult for them to understand that people are here to help.

But their story isn’t over. ❤️

This week, they’ll leave the shelter. We’re hoping that with quiet spaces, patience, gentle care and time, we’ll begin to see these scared girls discover their brave.

We can’t wait to meet the dogs hiding underneath all that fear.

Welcome, girls. Your good life is coming. ❤️

Jumba is actively learning his manners and daily routines, and he’s picking up good habits quickly. He is crate trained and is working on his leash skills. Inside his crate, he is generally calm and quiet, with most of his puppy vocals reserved for letting you know when he needs a potty break. He has also shown that he can be calm and relaxed when the moment calls for it. One of his most adorable quirks? Instead of sleeping in a typical doggy position, Jumba prefers to curl up in a classic cat-bun pose!

This social fellow loves meeting new friends and has enjoyed opportunities to meet people through his foster home and veterinary visits. He has also been exposed to other dogs and is eager to meet them, especially when there’s a chance to play! Jumba has met cats too, and has shown gentle curiosity around them. While he hasn’t had the opportunity to spend time around children yet, he would likely do well with dog-savvy kids ages six and up, who can appreciate that he’s a big puppy still learning about the world. He doesn’t seem interested in digging, and his barking is about what you’d expect from a pup.

When the weather is pleasant, Jumba enjoys being outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, and exploring everything the world has to offer. He’s also a fan of chicken nuggets! Car rides are still a work in progress, and he hasn’t quite decided they’re cool yet. He’s also not a fan of getting soggy, so keeping this boy nice and dry is highly recommended unless you’re prepared for a little wet-weather protest!

Jumba’s ideal home would be with a moderately active family ready to help him continue learning and growing, preferably with another friendly dog to be his companion and playmate. A 5-foot securely fenced yard would give him a wonderful place to explore, sunbathe, and enjoy outdoor adventures. Most of all, Jumba is looking for a family who will appreciate his affectionate nature, respect his need for downtime, and help him become the best dog he can be. With his sweet heart, social spirit, and impressive ability to balance fun with relaxation, Jumba is sure to bring plenty of love and laughter to his forever home!

Meet Pleekly, an adorable Great Pyrenees and English Mastiff mix who is ready to find his forever family! This mild-mannered, eager-to-please pup is a quick learner who is excited to discover the world and make his people proud. He’s working on his leash skills and learning household routines, but he catches on quickly and is happy to learn. One of the sweetest things about Pleekly is how he likes to walk right alongside you, hopping his way down the path while giving your hand an affectionate lick. He is crate-trained, has a medium activity level, and comes with a handy little on/off switch for puppy mode, so you can enjoy his playful side without being entertained by puppy antics every waking minute!

Pleekly is a social guy who loves making friends, whether they have four legs or two! He has been exposed to other dogs and enjoys playing with new canine pals. Having another friendly dog in his forever home would be perfect, especially one who can show him the ropes. He has also been around cats and shows interest while remaining gentle in their presence. Although he hasn't met children yet, we suspect he could do well with them; because he is going to be a big boy, a home with dog-savvy children ages 6 and up would be the best fit.

When it comes to house manners, Pleekly is a pleasantly quiet pup, making about the amount of noise you'd expect from a puppy and generally staying quieter indoors. In fact, he mostly speaks up when he needs to go potty! He hasn’t shown any interest in digging (yet). When the weather is lovely, you'll often find him happily rotating between his doghouse and a sunny patch of grass, soaking up the fresh air and enjoying the simple pleasures of a beautiful day. And when it's time to settle down for a nap, Pleekly has his own adorable style: he prefers to curl up in the classic cat bun position rather than flop upside down like a typical pup. And offer him a chicken nugget, and you will have a friend for life!

Pleekly would thrive in a moderately active home where he can enjoy companionship, keep his mind and body busy, and continue learning at his own pace. A 5-foot securely fenced yard would give him a safe place to explore, play, and enjoy the sunshine. Pleekly needs a family ready to help him grow into the wonderful companion he's meant to be. With his sweet nature, eagerness to learn, and irresistible combination of puppy hops and hand kisses, Pleekly is sure to bring plenty of smiles and affection to his forever home!

Opal is housebroken and learning basic commands. She has a medium activity level and absolutely LOVES being outdoors, especially exploring her yard and digging little dens to bury her favorite toys. She also enjoys spending time with her people and is always happy to soak up affection.

Opal is friendly with new people and has done well around other dogs, including playing in the yard with the resident 40-pound pup. She has grown especially close to her foster family's two children, ages 12 and 13, and could be happy in a home with or without kids or other dogs. She has met younger children on walks but hasn't shown much interest in little ones.

This sweet girl has a sensitive side when it comes to unfamiliar places and loud noises. Busy environments and passing cars can make her nervous, so she would do best in a quieter neighborhood. Opal's ideal home would have a 4-foot fenced yard where she can explore, dig, and hide her treasures. Most importantly, she needs a family who will shower her with love, include her in daily life, and happily share their couch and bed with her. Opal has so much love to give and will bring joyful greetings, endless sweetness, and plenty of snuggles to the lucky family who welcomes her home!

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.

We have many Pyrs and Pyr mixes who need homes. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Adoptable Dogs.

Brutus and Skye love meeting new people, making friends, and soaking up all the attention they can get. They do wonderfully with children, get along with other dogs, and are comfortable around cats, too. They are happy to join you on outings and adventures, especially if a pup cup is involved! They also enjoy being groomed, basking in the warm sunshine, relaxing on a cool floor, and listening to a little Boz Scaggs. Their favorite snacks include dried beef jerky, dried salmon skins, and, of course, just about any tasty treat you care to offer. These two are not diggers or escape artists, and their foster reports no behavioral concerns at all. They are simply sweet, gentle companions who want to be included in family life and loved by their humans as much as they love each other.

Brutus and Skye would thrive in a quiet home with a yard and a 4-foot fence, where they can enjoy peaceful days, plenty of affection, and the comfort of being together. Their foster describes caring for them as a wonderful experience and says that if there weren't already 11 dogs at home, this lovely couple would absolutely be staying! It's easy to understand why. Brutus and Skye are the kind of dogs who touch your heart with their gentle spirits, unwavering devotion to each other, and desire to share that love with their people. They are an ideal pair for someone looking to welcome two exceptionally sweet, easygoing companions into their home. If you have room in your heart for double the love, Brutus and Skye are ready to make your house their home!

Hayden is leash-trained and highly receptive to training, quickly picking up new things. He is currently working on “sit,” “leave it,” “bed,” and “come,” and is eager to learn. He has a moderate activity level and would be a wonderful companion for an active family. Hayden gets along beautifully with other dogs, including his foster’s Great Pyrenees and Chihuahua, and would love a home with a canine companion or two. He has also been exposed to both indoor and outdoor cats. He is very curious about them and simply wants to play, so he would do best with cats who are comfortable around dogs and tolerant of his playful interest.

Hayden has been wonderful with everyone he has met and absolutely loves people and their attention. He hasn’t been exposed to children yet, but given his sweet and gentle nature, he is expected to do well with older kids. Hayden does bark occasionally, usually when separated from his people, but he responds well when asked to stop while indoors. He enjoys a balance of indoor and outdoor time, but what he loves most is being with his people. At night, he settles quietly on his dog bed on the floor and sleeps peacefully through the night.

Hayden’s favorite treat is peanut butter, which is sure to win you a few extra tail wags! This beautiful boy truly is the epitome of sweetness, and his affectionate personality makes him a joy to have around. Hayden’s ideal home would be with an active, loving family, another dog or two to share life with, and a 5-foot securely fenced yard. If you’re looking for a loving companion who enjoys being close to his people, gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and is ready to keep learning and growing with his forever family, Hayden could be your PYR-fect match!

Fluffy is shy when meeting new people and has not yet been exposed to children, so a home with respectful introductions and appropriate supervision would be best. He has done well with both male and female big dogs and could happily live with or without canine companions, although he might enjoy having a friend to play with. He is shy around cats but doesn’t bother them, and he has shown little interest in the resident rabbits (who are separated by a gate).

He doesn’t dig, doesn’t appear to be an escape artist, and is quieter than the average Pyr - he is generally quiet in the house unless other dogs start howling, at which point he happily joins the chorus! If you howl at him, be prepared for a full-on Fluffy serenade. His ideal home would be a semi-active family who will include him in walks and playtime, with either a canine buddy or plenty of attention from his people. A 4-foot fenced yard would be appropriate, or he can be a leash-walk-only dog. He would also adore lots and lots of toys! - Balls, bones, stuffies - he loves them all! Fluffy is a wonderful “beginner” Pyr who is silly, playful, loving, and simply wants someone of his own to love and be loved by.

Meet Bear, the goofiest, most huggable teddy bear you'll ever meet! Bear was pulled from an animal shelter in South Carolina, and while his early history is a bit of a mystery, everything about his personality since says he's ready for his happily-ever-after. He's fully housebroken, and his leash manners currently sit at a respectable B- (and climbing every day!). He tolerates his crate just fine, but honestly doesn't need it much - he gets the run of the house for up to seven hours at a stretch while his foster family is out, and he's never chewed a thing or made a mess, proving he's more teddy bear than grizzly when left to his own devices. His house training and socialization are excellent.

Activity-wise, Bear is a moderate mover: he mostly likes to sleep the day away, but perks right up to chase and roughhouse with his Pyr housemate. He's not an escape artist or a runner and stays put in the fenced backyard without supervision. Bear gets along with both of his foster family's indoor cats, happily playing with the friendly one while giving the more standoffish cat its space, and he's equally easygoing with other dogs - he gets along great with his fellow foster Pyr and the family's mentor dog, a 45-pound female mix. Meeting new people is a treat for Bear, who just wants all the attention he can get; he even visits his foster dad’s office once a week to make new friends. And he did great meeting people of all ages at a cross country meet, where he found every unoccupied hand and put his head in it to be petted.

Given South Carolina's heat, Bear prefers short outdoor stints of 30 minutes or less, though he does love parking himself at the fence to bark hello (or maybe just announce himself) to passersby. Inside, he's a champion snuggler - he'll rest his face right in your lap or lean his head on your shoulder while you're sitting, though he's polite enough to stay off the beds and furniture entirely, simply by his own choice. Also, Bear believes in eating healthy, and his favorite snacks include broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower - Give him a bowl of California Blend and he’s a happy boy!

Bear has a jolly, goofy spirit - he trots around with a permanently silly grin, determined to be everyone's best friend, and follows his people from room to room like their own personal shadow. With his big, muppet-like look and his habit of nosing or gently “Pyr-pawing" you for pets whenever he's awake, Bear is basically a life-sized teddy bear who just wants to be loved. His ideal home would be moderately active - regular walks, backyard playtime behind a fence at least 4.5 feet tall, and ideally another dog to play with or someone home often enough to keep him well socialized. Bear is ready for a family of his very own to snuggle, and once he finds them, he'll be the most devoted, bear-hugging friend they could ask for.

Meet Hobbes, a sweet and affectionate Pyr who is ready to find his foster or forever home! Currently staying in boarding, Hobbes was picked up as a stray in Tennessee, and now he’s hoping his next chapter will be filled with love, companionship, and a cozy place to call home. This easygoing boy has a medium energy level and a lovely, easy-care, shorter coat that makes grooming a breeze. He absolutely loves human attention, being petted, and following his people around. He can be a little shy when meeting new people in large groups, but he warms up quickly with one-on-one attention and soon shows his affectionate side. Hobbes does well on a leash, though he enjoys taking his time to meander and explore, and he already knows how to sit on command. He gets into the car and rides well in a crate, although longer trips can leave him feeling a bit carsick. Hobbes has been doing well with other dogs at doggie daycare and made lots of canine friends at an adoption event, where he also did well meeting children. Hobbes would likely thrive in a home with other dogs, gentle, dog-savvy children, and a 5-foot securely fenced yard. Most of all, he’s looking for someone who will appreciate his gentle nature, enjoy his affectionate company, and give him the chance to blossom into the wonderful companion he’s meant to be. Could Hobbes be the sweet new friend you’ve been waiting for?

Meet Lorelai, a sweet, gentle girl who seems to have been born to be everyone’s best friend! This lovely Pyr was found roaming the roads in Tennessee, but she hasn’t let her uncertain beginnings dim her loving spirit. She is housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, making her a wonderful companion ready to settle into her forever home. Lorelai has a medium activity level and enjoys playing with other dogs in the yard, but she’s equally happy soaking up the sunshine or relaxing beside her favorite person. She prefers being indoors with her family and would love a home with a canine brother and a 4-foot fenced yard.

Lorelai absolutely adores people and is always excited to meet someone new. She wants all the attention she can get and is generous with her sweet, gentle hugs! She has the most irresistible ways of politely asking for affection, and even when she’s playing, she’s remarkably gentle. Before coming to her current foster home, Lorelai regularly visited a property where she interacted wonderfully with several young children. She happily accepted their hugs and pets and even let them walk her on a lead without any issues. She also befriended the family’s chunky goat and enjoyed hanging out with her! Lorelai doesn’t mind cats, either, and seems to do best with male dogs, and doesn’t appear to care for puppies.

When it comes to her favorite activities, brushing is high on the list and is one of the quickest ways to win her heart. She also enjoys car rides, sunshine, snuggles, and, of course, chicken nuggets! Rainy weather isn’t her favorite, and she may need some encouragement to venture outside when it’s wet. Loud noises can make her uncomfortable, too, so a patient, reassuring family will help her feel safe and secure.

Lorelai is truly a family dog with love to spare. She doesn’t care what kind of day you’ve had or what you’re going through - she has friendship to offer. She’ll gladly welcome her people, befriend her furry housemates, keep them company, and snuggle up with them, too. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will make you feel like her favorite person every single day, Lorelai is ready to wrap you in a hug and steal your heart!

Wanda is housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, and knows how to sit on command. She's a low-key, lazy girl who prefers being inside and enjoys watching the world go by, whether that's the neighbor's kids playing or cars driving down the street. Her foster family has a fenced yard, and Wanda has never tried to escape or run off. She's done great meeting new people, including at vet visits, though she will bark at the UPS guy. She will also bark at sirens, and sometimes she’ll even join in with a little howl! She hasn't been around children directly since her foster family doesn't have kids, but she watches the neighbor's children, who range from 8 to 15, with a lot of curiosity. She gets along well with both indoor and outdoor cats of all ages, seeming unbothered by them, and does well with other dogs of different sizes and energy levels, including her foster home's three resident dogs. Wanda loves to cuddle up with her furry foster siblings. She's shy at first around new dogs and takes some time to warm up. The one thing she prefers to do solo is eating, as she can be protective of her food around other pets, though this isn't an issue with humans. Storms don’t bother her, as she went through her first hurricane like a champ and did amazing!

Wanda is, at heart, a total cuddle-bug who will shove her paw in your face and swat you if you're not giving her enough attention. She loves sleeping on top of her people, curling up in soft blankets, and giving hugs - she'll trust fall into your arms, so be ready to catch her for that embrace! Bread is her favorite treat. She'd do best in a low volume home, as a leash-walk-only dog or with access to a 4-foot fenced yard, and while she'd be perfectly happy as an only pet, she'd also do well with one or two dog or cat siblings. Above all, Wanda is a sweet, affectionate snuggle-buddy who just wants your attention.
