Hi! My name is Bud and I am looking for a forever bud (or buddies) of my own. I am a Pyr mixed with maybe black Lab, maybe a little Great Dane thrown in, I am not sure. What I am sure about (because my foster Mom constantly tells me) is that I am big, black and beautiful with some white socks thrown in for good measure. My foster Mom says that I am an amazingly sweet boy. I enjoy playing with my two Pyr housemates. It is great when we can go outside and play tag and run. I also love to play fetch. When a visitor comes, I sound the alarm. As soon as I know it is OK my barks turn into licks, waiting for them to pet me. I really try to please my foster Mom. She has been teaching me to sit and lay down with hand commands. She praises me for being such an obedient boy and I take treats gently from her fingers as a reward. One of my most favorite times is when my foster Mom hugs me, tells me what a handsome boy I am growing up to be, and explains to me that soon I will have a fur-ever home with a family on which I can shower my love and affection. I am looking forward to my fur-ever family. Is that going to be you?

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.
