Ghost (aka Casper) is a gentle giant who loves being in the house with his humans and foster siblings. "He is one of the nicest pyrs I have fostered", says his temporary mom. He was picked up as a stray and in need of some grooming and TLC. He appears to be about 5 years old, so he's fully grown at 100 lbs. Casper is a sweetheart of a boy, and likes all the attention he's finally getting now that he's in a safe place. He gets along great with other dogs, and is an all around laid back kind of guy. He's ready now for his forever home with a family to call his very own. He is a real gem of a dog.

NGPR does not adopt dogs to homes with children under 6 years old.

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.
