Meet Gracie, the little Pyr with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Gracie has been through a lot of changes the past few months and has lost not only her human family, but her sister Abbie, as well. Through all this she has maintained her wonderful, cheerful attitude and is ready to be part of a family again. Gracie is always excited to see you and will jump literally straight up in the air to greet you - she will not jump ON you, just kinda "hop" to get your attention. She does not jump up on counters or furniture, and is respectful of boundaries, not jumping on the yard fence either. Gracie is completely housebroken and has learned some basic commands. She is looking for some TLC and you will be amazed how appreciative she will be! Gracie is small for a Great Pyrenees and weighs about 40 lbs. but she has no problem holding her ground with her two 100 lb foster brothers and loves to run and tumble with them out in the yard...but knows there is no roughhousing in the house - what a good girl!
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.
