Say hello to Onion, the big, beautiful boy of his litter! This handsome pup came into rescue with his mom and 4 littermates (Honey, Potato, Cheddar, and Salsa), from a shelter in Kentucky. They are Pyr and Border Collie mixes born on February 18, 2026. Onion is the largest male pup, a stunning all-white gentleman standing out in the best way possible — not a single marking on that pristine coat! But it's not just his good looks that make Onion special; this smart boy is already crate trained and will sit on command! He’s laid-back — an easy-going explorer who has a personality as bright as his snowy white fur. Onion is the kind of pup who likes to take life at his own pace. When playtime erupts around him, he's perfectly content to sit back, watch the chaos unfold, and take it all in before deciding to join the fun — a thoughtful little soul! When he's not busy observing the world with his wise puppy eyes, you might find him on big brother duty, cuddled up keeping his little brother Salsa warm and cozy. This boy has got heart! Outside, Onion transforms into a full-on adventure pup! He loves exploring the yard, nose to the ground, collecting every sniff the world has to offer. But perhaps the sweetest thing about Onion? Say his name and call for him, and watch that tail go! And first thing in the morning? Onion has one very important item on his agenda — belly rubs! The moment his human is awake, this lovable boy is right there, ready to start the day with some quality snuggle time. His ideal home will have a 5-foot securely fenced yard for him to play in, as well as a canine sibling to show him the ropes. If you're looking for a gentle, loving, adventure-ready companion with a calm spirit and a warm heart, Onion is your guy.

NYS Registered Non-Profit Rescue # RR102. National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) has been rescuing and adopting out Great Pyrenees since 2006. Our relationship doesn’t end with adoption, as we continue to support adopters throughout the lifetime of their dog.
Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
We have many Pyrs and Pyr mixes who need homes. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Adoptable Dogs.
