I am the smallest of 2 brothers and 4 sisters but I have a huge heart. I love to snuggle and give kisses, but I can also romp with my big brother who outweighs me by 2 whole pounds. My foster dad says I'm his favorite but don't tell my brother. I like to stand up on his leg so he will pick me up and cuddle me, then I fall asleep in his arms. He also says that I have those wonderful Pyr expressions and I look into his eye when he talks to me. I heard him say that I am tons of personality in a tiny baby and that I am a very special gift. I will be able to come home with you once I can travel, dad said I have to get shots first, I hope I don't cry.

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.
