Shakira (aka Kira) is growing into a wonderful young lady! She is a super-sweet Pyr/Lab mix pup - we think more Lab because she actually comes when she's called :) She loves her foster siblings, both canine and feline. Shakira knows her basic commands and is getting much better walking on a leash. She enjoys being outdoors and playing in the creek (her foster thinks she is going to be a swimmer). She would be happily placed with a playmate, be it canine or human. Her kisses are the best! She transitioned easily into her foster family and will into yours, too. Give this sweet baby a forever home with you.

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.
