Meet Snowman, a fluffy white Pyr boy whose sunny disposition will melt your heart faster than a snowflake on a warm day! This gentle giant was found wandering along the highway with his brother, and though their original owner was located, they were surrendered because these adventurous boys just wouldn't stay put at home. Now Snowman is currently in boarding, dreaming of a foster or forever home where he can finally settle down and spread his winter joy. Despite his wandering past, he's pretty good on leash and would do well with a 5-foot fence to keep him safely in his new kingdom. Snowman is an absolute sweetheart with people-his tail is always wagging like a happy snow flurry, and while he might be a touch shy when meeting new friends at first, he warms up beautifully. He's wonderful with other dogs, remarkably gentle with cats (giving them curious sniffs with his cold nose), and would be great with older kids who can appreciate his sweet, loving nature. This good boy adores pets and attention, and when he's not soaking up affection, you'll find him contentedly watching the birds as they fly the skies. His housebreaking status is unknown since he's been in boarding, but with those sweet manners and eagerness to please, Snowman is ready to be the perfect addition to a loving home that can give him the stability and warmth he so craves!

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.
