Petunia is a sweet and easygoing Great Pyrenees who is looking for her forever family! Petunia was picked up as a stray in Tennessee and was sadly at imminent risk of euthanasia at the shelter before NGPR stepped in to give her a second chance. Now she's ready to show everyone what a wonderful girl she truly is. Petunia is best described as a chill old lady, and that's exactly the vibe she brings to a home. She has a low activity level and doesn't seem to have a strong preference for being inside or outside, she's just happy to be wherever her people are. One of her favorite things in the world is being brushed, and she loves the low buzz of the TV. Not much seems to bother Petunia, and she's not a digger, so any gardens in her future are perfectly safe. She is housebroken, crate trained, and only needs a 4-foot fence, as she has no interest in escaping. Petunia barks less than the average Pyr and has no known behavior issues. She does well living in a pack with other dogs and would also be perfectly content as an only dog. At home with indoor cats, she's curious about them but stays quiet and doesn't chase, a respectful roommate through and through. She hasn't had exposure to kids, but her personality suggests she'd do just fine with calmer children. Meeting new people takes her some time, as she's a bit nervous around new faces and is slow to warm up, so a little patience goes a long way with this girl. The ideal home for Petunia is a quiet one with lots of attention to give her. If you're looking for a mellow, low-maintenance companion who just wants a peaceful life and someone to love on her, consider Petunia!

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.
