Garfield in IL - Happy, Fun & Playful Boy!

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Garfield is a happy, smiley character who loves anyone who will pet him and tell him how beautiful he is. He’s a lover of car rides, and sticking his head out the window, and his favorite toy is a tennis ball. He is leash-trained and housebroken and doesn’t really like the crate, but will go into it on command. He’s learning his other commands, and has mastered a “shake” with both paws, “sit,” and “down.” Garfield loves to play with other dogs, including large and small dogs, and would do best in a home with a canine buddy. A 4-foot fenced in yard would be awesome for running around and wrestling with his friends! A dog-savvy, playful cat could be fun too! He loves meeting new people to get even more ear scratches and belly rubs. He dislikes the full flight of basement stairs, but is fine on a half-flight, so he could probably be convinced to learn longer runs of steps, especially if there is cheese or animal crackers involved! He’s a total love bug who adores cuddling (he’ll even let you be the Big Spoon!), and he can’t wait to find an active family who will include him in all the fun! - Written by M.M.

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 10, 2025, 3:01 pm
