Styx is a delightful bundle of silliness who's ready to find his furever home! He is a Pyr mix who rocks a long, soft tan coat that gives him serious Golden Retriever vibes. He'll top out at around 65 pounds of handsome, eccentric energy. Found as a stray in Tennessee, Styx has left his roaming days behind him and shows zero interest in escape artistry. Styx comes with a great foundation: he's housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained. He's easily excitable, and a high energy pup who loves treats, car rides, and splashing around in the kiddie pool. He enjoys being outside with his favorite human, or otherwise preferring to be indoors. Styx is friendly through and through - he loves meeting new people, gets along great with other dogs in the yard and out in public, and even lives happily with indoor cats. He tends to get a little too excited around other dogs when he's crated. He'd do just fine as an only dog or with some furry housemates. Given his hyper enthusiasm, Styx would be an amazing match for a family with kids who are 12 or older who can keep up with him, and a 5-foot fenced in yard would be perfect. Really, his ideal home is with younger adults or a family with an older child living an active lifestyle - someone looking for a best bud to bring along on every adventure. Super handsome, super friendly, and a little bit goofy, Styx can't wait to find his people!

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.
