Meet JJ, a handsome Pyr mix who's ready to find his perfect match - come meet him in Springfield, OH! This lovable guy is the ultimate low-maintenance companion who knows how to entertain himself and appreciates the simple pleasures in life. JJ walks beautifully on leash, showing off his polite manners with a reliable "sit" and a mostly reliable "come" when called. JJ is generally laid-back and loves his chill time, but will occasionally get a burst of energy before settling back into relaxation mode-he's all Pyr in personality! This loyal boy takes his time warming up to new people, but once you've earned his trust, he becomes an incredibly devoted and affectionate companion. JJ has a playful side too, getting wonderfully silly with his toys, and tossing them around for his own amusement. He's happiest in a quiet home with an experienced Pyr owner who understands his need for a peaceful environment, and he'd prefer to be the only dog or possibly live with a laid-back female after proper introductions. JJ thrives with a secure 5-foot fence and loves being outdoors in any weather, though he also enjoys snuggling up on his cozy bed. This sweet boy loves going on walks, car rides to sniff the fresh air, and being brushed and bathed. He's generally a quiet gentleman who only barks at sirens, motorcycles, or loud cars, and he's not a digger or escape artist. JJ does best in an adults-only home, and prefers to dine alone, as he can be protective of his food. The ideal home for JJ would include a doggie door so he can enjoy his independence and come and go as he pleases. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will appreciate your patience and reward you with endless devotion (especially if you make him cheeseburgers and corndogs!), JJ might just be your perfect match. Local adoptions only for this special boy, so apply today to come and meet him!

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.
