My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Handsome Bennie is as sweet and innocent as his name and face implies—this young man came to rescue after wandering onto a farm with his female friend who could have been his mama. Everything was new to this boy, so understandably he was a little nervous, but with his gentle personality he accepts new things quickly and has learned how amazing life can be. A few of Bennie’s favorite things include people, running and wrestling with other dogs, riding in a vehicle, going for a walk, grooming time, making friends with the kitties, a comfy blanket and a toy box full of fun things! He would love a nice comfy bed to relax in the house and equally loves discovering new things and exploring in the yard. This boy was a tad nervous the first time meeting the kitties, so he laid down, allowing them to approach him—he now greets them with a friendly nose rub! He loves playing a good game of chase or wrestling and rolling on the ground with his friends. The toys were new, but he quickly learned to enjoy them; picking up a ball to toss it and then drop it to go find the newest toy in the box. Bennie will come up to you and stand as close as he can, quietly waiting for attention. He will also go sit by the gate when he wants to go for a walk. Bennie’s pyrfect home will have a 5-foot fenced yard and another dog to pal around with, and a family to go for walks or just hang out. A toy box is a must too! Are you that family with plenty of love and patience who’s ready to help Bennie shine?  NGPR Pooch Profile Name: Bennie in KY  Age: 1 yr 8 mos old as of June 2025  Color: White Dew Claws: Yes, Double   Estimated Adult Weight: 90 - 100 lbs   Current Location: NGPR approved foster in Richmond, KY  Medical: Neutered, dewormed, negative for heartworm, up-to-date on vaccinations and currently on flea, tick and heartworm preventative.

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.  June 4, 2025, 12:50 pm
