If you are looking for a beautiful boy, I am your pup! I'm Benito and I'm a 4 month old Pyr/black lab mix. I am the pyrfect mix of just enough energy while still loving to cuddle! I am a boy who loves his food, so treat training would work well for me. I've already learned some commands and I love to please. My favorite pastimes are following you wherever you go and getting my chest scratched. I also love to play outside. I could run all day in the yard, play ball, and fetch my toys, but then I like to come inside for a nap. I like to be close to people, but would rather lay on the cool floor instead of in your lap. This is probably a good thing considering how big I may get. I'm looking for an active family for my furever home. I love kids and other dogs. My foster mom says I am the perfect blend of my brothers and as sweet as they come. If you are looking for an overall good boy, I'm the pup for 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.
