TedE (or Teddy Bear as his foster mom calls him), is a very sweet, sensitive, playful boy. He is what we affectionately call a "pocket pyr" because he is just 65 lbs! This is great for those looking for the beauty of the breed but not wanting an extra-large companion :) TedE is a gorgeous, regal younger adult boy. He loves to be with people and just wants to be petted. TedE gets along with other dogs, but prefers to be around the lady dogs the most. He can be around cats, but only if properly introduced. TedE is excellent in the house and enjoys being indoors (he doesn't like to be crated, but never needs to be). He loves to go for long walks and is very good on a leash. TedE also enjoys lounging in the morning sun. He has a subtle sense of humor and has learned to sit for his meals and treats, snorting happily upon receipt. TedE is looking for a person with Pyr breed experience and if you are looking for a furever friend, TedE is ready to bury his head in your lap and give you all of his love!

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.
