This sweet, handsome Great Pyrenees boy came to us after being picked up as a stray in Alabama, and he is loving life in a foster home! Harrison is one of the most easygoing, lovable Pyrs you'll ever meet! Extremely laid back even by Pyr standards, Harrison is a true gentleman who is fully housebroken and leash trained. He knows "sit" and understands "no.” Harrison has charmed everyone he's encountered — visitors, veterinary staff, and groomers alike. He is patient, friendly, and gentle with all people and animals he meets. He is especially wonderful with children and absolutely adores his foster mom's seven-year-old granddaughter. Kids will find a devoted, soft-hearted companion in this big white sweetheart! He gets along well with dogs — including his foster home's two resident Pyrs — and he handled a bit of initial grumpiness from the resident male with total grace and patience, never reacting negatively. He also coexists peacefully with the family cat, mostly giving her a polite, unbothered glance. He would do equally well as an only dog or in a multi-pet household. When it comes to fun, Harrison loves chew toys, biscuits, and a good brushing session — he really leans into that fluffy Pyr lifestyle! He's good in the car once he's convinced to get in, and he enjoys spending time both indoors and outdoors. He's not a digger or an escape artist, and his barking is below average for the breed — just the occasional polite alert bark to let you know something's up. A 4-foot fence will keep this laid-back boy happily at home. Harrison can be fearful of thunder and is a little wary of men, so a calm, patient environment will help him continue to thrive. His ideal home would include women and people who appreciate his gentle, affectionate soul. If you're looking for a sweet, low-key companion with a heart of gold, Harrison 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.
