Hobbes in CT - Sweet & Affectionate!

*** Check Out My Video Album Below! ***

Meet Hobbes, a sweet and affectionate Pyr who is ready to find his foster or forever home! Currently staying in boarding, Hobbes was picked up as a stray in Tennessee, and now he's hoping his next chapter will be filled with love, companionship, and a cozy place to call home. This easygoing boy has a medium energy level and a lovely, easy-care, shorter coat that makes grooming a breeze. He absolutely loves human attention, being petted, and following his people around. He can be a little shy when meeting new people in large groups, but he warms up quickly with one-on-one attention and soon shows his affectionate side. Hobbes does well on a leash, though he enjoys taking his time to meander and explore, and he already knows how to sit on command. He gets into the car and rides well in a crate, although longer trips can leave him feeling a bit carsick. Hobbes has been doing well with other dogs at doggie daycare and made lots of canine friends at an adoption event, where he also did well meeting children. He met a cat outdoors, gave it a quick sniff, and then politely backed away, seemingly unsure what to make of this curious creature! Hobbes would likely thrive in a home with other dogs, gentle, dog-savvy children, and a 5-foot securely fenced yard. Most of all, he's looking for someone who will appreciate his gentle nature, enjoy his affectionate company, and give him the chance to blossom into the wonderful companion he's meant to be. Could Hobbes be the sweet new friend you've been waiting for?

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.
