My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Ruffin, a laid-back boy with the sweetest soul, is looking for his forever home! This special boy has overcome a difficult past after being found chained to a tree and abandoned, but his gentle spirit remains unbroken. Ruffin would love nothing more than a quiet, loving home where he can be showered with the affection he deserves. Ruffin is house-trained, leash trained, crate trained, and knows “sit,” showing he's ready to be a wonderful house companion. This boy has a medium-length, soft coat that beckons to be pet - and Ruffin is totally on board with that! - He’s an affectionate pup and loves to be petted. Two more of his favorite things include treats of cheese and pepperoni! Ruffin gets along wonderfully with other dogs, particularly smaller ones, and is very friendly when meeting new people. He's had positive interactions with children ages 9 and 11, showing his gentle nature extends to kids as well. With his low activity level, Ruffin is content with leisurely walks and quiet time with his family. He's not a digger and rarely barks, making him an ideal companion for someone seeking a calm, well-mannered dog. This sweet boy just wants to love and be loved! Ruffin's PYRfect home would be a quiet household with people who love to dish out the rubs and share the pepperoni off their pizza! - Written by H.B. NGPR Pooch Profile Name: Ruffin in MS  Age: 3 yrs 8 mos old as of July 2025  Color: White and cream  Dew Claws: None  Estimated Adult Weight: 80 lbs  Current Location: NGPR approved foster  in Newton, MS Medical: Neutered, dewormed, positive for heartworm and undergoing treatment, up-to-date on vaccinations and currently on flea, tick and heartworm preventative. This dog travels with an Interstate Health Certificate required by the USDA confirming that all the above criteria have been met. Housebroken: Yes   Can be Placed With: Dogs, Kids. Cats Unknown.   Fencing: Secure VISIBLE fencing is required; invisible fencing WILL NOT contain this breed. Fees: Adoption fees are determined on a sliding scale depending on age, location and transport. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. Fees for dogs adopted locally start at $400 and can range up to $700 for puppies under six months. Puppies placed on spay/neuter contracts receive $100 back when the dog is spayed or neutered. Fees for senior dogs (7 or older) and foster dogs will be adjusted accordingly. 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. July 11, 2025, 11:46 am
