Meet Sophie, the Belle of Virginia! You won't find a sweeter, more gentle companion - she is easily the most well-mannered gal around. Sophie gently takes treats, she leaves trash cans and counters alone, she knows sit and has close-to-pyrfect leash manners and she loves her neighborhood walks! Sophie happily greets people and their dogs with a sniff and a wag. She gets along great with her foster brother, but could be content as the only dog as well. She also enjoys her car rides. Sophie will give you her happy moan with any kind of belly rub :) She enjoys being brushed and the groomer couldn't stop raving about her sweet, easy-going behavior during her session, saying she was one of the best she's ever had - Sophie will happily show off her new "do" to any new visitors that stop by. She is a happy girl - with a bounce in her step, she will excitedly go outside. She'd be happy to spend the cool day on her big pillow in the porch. Sophie dreams of a backyard where it's OK to bark a little. If you give her a bone she excitedly seeks out the pyrfect spot in the yard to bury it. Indoors, she is calm and relaxed and prefers a quieter environment. She is ready to protect you from birds and squirrels, but will look to you for comfort in thunderstorms. This beautiful belle is the most pyrfect companion. Will you be this sweetheart's BFF and give her the loving home she's looking for?

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

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.

If you can't foster or adopt at this time, please consider helping our Neediest Cases.

About Us: National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) is not a shelter. We are a not-for-profit, tax-exempt coalition of Pyr rescuers and rescue groups. We save Pyrs and Pyr mixes across the country and place them in approved foster homes so we know how they will interact with your family. Please consider adopting or fostering. Every dog who is fostered or adopted makes room for another Pyr coming out of a kill shelter. Prior to adoption, NGPR dogs are fostered for a minimum of two weeks (usually more), spayed or neutered and fully vetted. Dogs coming from out of area are certified with a USDA health certificate before going to their new homes. Our rescuers adhere to the highest placement standards and will take back any dog whose adoption does not succeed. Visit www.nationalpyr.org to learn more about us, our mission and our breed.
