Gnocchi - The silly, sweet, people‑loving pup from the "Pasta Litter" is ready to find his forever family. Gnocchi is an outgoing, joyful Pyr and Border Collie mix who lights up every space he enters. He adores people - especially kids - and wants to be part of whatever his humans are doing. His silly, playful style makes him a constant source of laughter, and he loves to run, romp, and show off those long legs and striking black‑and‑white markings. As a tiny baby, Gnocchi had some hair loss, but it's growing back in HANDSOMELY and only adds to his glow‑up story - he's turning into one very handsome boy. When he's not playing, he's all about cuddles, attention, and following his person from room to room just to be close. He's social, confident, and incredibly smart, so he'll thrive with a fun, active family ready to guide a bright puppy who loves to learn. Like most Pyr mixes, he'll need a 5-foot securely fenced yard where he can safely stretch his legs, explore, and enjoy his daily adventures. This boy is content napping with one of his siblings after a good run and romp thru the yard! Ideally, he'd love a large-breed canine buddy in his forever home, but he can also do great as an only dog if his people are home often and committed to keeping him social with plenty of playdates. Gnocchi is ready for a family who will appreciate his affectionate nature, goofy charm, and big, happy heart.

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.
