Meet Wyatt! This sweet boy was found roaming at a trailer park in Tennessee, and while nobody knows exactly where he came from, one thing is certain: he was born to be someone's devoted companion. Wyatt is fully housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, and he knows "sit" and "lay down," so he's already bringing his A-game to the basics. His medium energy level means he's happy with a couple of walks a day or some lively wrestling sessions with canine housemates. Speaking of which, Wyatt is an absolute dream with other dogs - his foster has four of them, both males and females, and Wyatt gets along famously with every single one. He's equally unbothered by cats, and he's shown a sweet, tail-wagging interest in kids, making him a great fit for a home with older children.
Inside is where Wyatt truly shines. He loves to be near his people, whether that's in their lap, or laying on the floor nearby. And if you go off to do a chore, you can find him waiting for your return exactly where you left him. He's a calm and affectionate fella, and his foster mom says that he's a very easy foster dog! He's tolerant about grooming - his foster pulled a whole collection of burrs out of his coat and he wasn't phased in the least. He has a flair for the dramatic when he doesn't want to do something (cue: dramatic belly flop and puppy eyes), and he likes to survey his domain like a meerkat, peeking over deck railings and countertops, always keeping a watchful eye on things. He doesn't dig, isn't reactive or protective, and has zero interest in resource guarding - he just wants to be near his people and feel the love.
Wyatt is a fan of pizza crust and cheese, and he'll politely pass on the apple slices, thank you very much. He needs a boost into the car, but once he's in, he's a perfectly content road trip co-pilot. He'll alert bark at the UPS truck and the occasional mysterious sound, but overall he's a fairly quiet Pyr. Wyatt's ideal home has at least one playful dog to keep him company, fairly active humans who enjoy daily walks, and someone ready to fully embrace a dog who enjoys hanging out with his people. A 4.5-foot fence will keep him safely contained - he has no interest in making a break for it. If you've been waiting for a submissive, affectionate and playful Pyr to complete your pack, Wyatt just might be your guy.

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.
