With huge paws, lanky puppy legs, and a heart full of sweetness, Shulker is every bit the gentle giant-in-training. One of the "Minecraft Litter" pups, he may also have a dash of Anatolian Shepherd in the mix and is clearly growing into a BIG boy. Watching him run is pure comedy gold as he bounces through that awkward, lovable puppy stage. Shulker is calm, easygoing, people-loving, and wonderfully affectionate. He adores other dogs, whether he is playing, lounging, or stretching out with the other puppies to exchange sweet little kisses. He is respectful of the big Pyrs in his foster home and is already showing the gentle, thoughtful personality these guardian breeds are known for-curious enough to explore the yard, steady enough to settle nearby, and sweet enough to offer soulful looks and his trademark Pyr paw when he wants attention. Shulker would be thrilled to grow up with children who enjoy running, playing, and snuggling with a loyal furry sidekick, with normal puppy supervision of course. Like any young guardian-breed pup, he will thrive with reward-based training, early socialization, enrichment, regular brushing, and a consistent routine. He will be happiest in a home with a 5-foot securely fenced yard and a playful large-breed canine buddy to explore, wrestle, and grow up alongside. Cats are welcome too! If you are ready for a loyal, gentle companion with a big heart, big paws, and an even bigger future, Shulker is ready to meet you and start your next great adventure together!

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.
