Meet Polar Bear, a sweet-as-honey Pyr who is bear-y special! This lovable guy has a face so innocent and sweet that it could melt the coldest heart-think Disney cartoon come to life. Inside the house, Bear is a gentle giant who just wants to hibernate in your lap for endless cuddles and affection. He's learned to sit and shake paw, and he's working on mastering stay and how to walk on leash without pulling towards every fascinating smell. He's a medium-energy pup who's content to relax by the door or play with toys indoors, but the moment that back door opens, it's like a bear awakening from winter sleep-he transforms into a playful kid ready to romp with his canine friends! Bear loves other dogs, and is learning doggy manners and social cues about when playtime needs a pause. He's wonderful with people of all ages, including children, and while he may announce visitors with his impressive bark (he loves the sound of his own voice!), he turns into an absolute baby the moment someone reaches out to pet him. This boy is equally happy lounging inside soaking up affection or playing outside. He'll need a 4-foot fence to keep him safe. He's seen cats on walks without reacting, but he hasn't had close encounters yet. Bear has some hilariously endearing quirks: he loves watching dog videos on TV and will run up to bark at the screen, and he's recently discovered mirrors, stopping to admire his own handsome reflection! He adores being brushed (it's just more petting!), and he considers anything in the house fair game as a toy. The ideal den for this sweet boy would be a home where people are around frequently to continue his training and provide the constant affection he craves-whether that's an active household with kids, other dogs, or both. Bear's best quality is simply this: he's the most affectionate, adorable, and sweet-natured dog you could imagine, and he'll happily accept unlimited love until your hand goes numb from all the petting. If you're looking for a bear-sized bundle of joy who will gaze up at you with the happiest face in the world, Polar Bear is ready to receive your application!

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.
