Harrison (aka Ben) is a sweet Pyr who will just melt your heart. His foster family feels he is the sweetest and most easy going dog they've ever had. He is shy in new situations and when meeting new people, but since coming to his new foster family's home he adjusts easier to these experiences now. He gets along great with other dogs and will definitely need a canine companion in his forever home. He is also good with cats and don't tell the other dogs in the house, but the foster kitty seems to like him best. Ben definitely likes having a family around him and always greets the kids at the door when they come home from school. He is used to people coming and going in the house and greets them with a bark and a wagging tail.

Harrison is a dream on a leash and loves going for walks. This is one of his favorite activities of the day and he would probably walk for hours if you could keep up. He is completely house trained and does not need to be crated while alone in the house. His foster mom loves to brush him and he will just eat up the attention. He will also let her clip some nails before getting up and moseying to another spot. He definitely loves to go for car rides, long or short. He loves to chew on his deer antlers, smeared with a little almond butter of course! He is so gentle taking treats from your hand and would allow another dog to take something from him if his foster mom wasn't there to make sure everything was given equally.

Harrison is ready to find his forever family, and with a little patience from them he will continue to blossom into the confident gentle great pyr he is becoming.

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.
