My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Meet Shep: a well-adjusted, people lover with a heart of gold! Looking for a companion with smarts, manners, and a touch of regal charm? Look no further than Shep, a handsome guy with an affectionate spirit. Rescued from spending his days wandering roads alone, Shep is so grateful for his new lease on life at his foster home. He's been able to show off his intelligence by learning many new commands such as “wait,” “sit,” “down,” “look at me,” “slow down,” and “find it.” He even knows to “Boop” with his nose to ask for more pets instead of using his paws! He will happily accept a reward for his good behavior - some peanut butter or frozen broccoli would be awesome! He’s eager to please, adjusted quickly to his foster family's routine, and even earning the title of "gem of a pyr" by his foster mom! He is house-trained, leash trained, does well meeting new people and dogs with proper introductions, and is a pretty good listener (for a pyrenees)! True to his breed, Shep is a watchful soul, offering calm companionship without being overly vocal or protective. This playful boy has medium energy, loving to goof around with his toys (his favorite is his soccer ball!). Going to doggie daycare and playing non-stop with his friends is another favorite pastime - he favors the larger ladies, and all smaller dogs. While he’s not the best match for cats (he finds them a bit too interesting), he’ll make an amazing addition to a dog-loving household that spends quality time on walks or cuddling up for an evening together on the couch. His ideal forever home is a moderately active one that includes a 5-foot fenced yard, a pyr-ent or two to dote on, a friendly canine sibling, and a person who is home most of the time.

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. May 5, 2025, 1:44 pm
