Meet Baymax, a gorgeous Great Pyrenees with long, silky soft fur who is ready to find his forever family! Baymax came to us as a stray and was pulled from a high-kill shelter in Georgia, but you'd never know his rocky start given how sweet and trusting he is today. Despite his impressive size, Baymax is convinced he's a lapdog at heart and wants to be close to his people at all times, leaning in for affection and following his favorite humans from room to room.
Baymax is a smart, playful guy still very much in his big-puppy phase. He's leash trained and almost fully housebroken, doing especially well with a consistent routine. He's had positive experience in a crate while traveling and did great overnight, though he doesn't have one at home. He already knows "sit" and is working on his recall, “stay,” and waiting politely for his food. He loves to be brushed, and enjoys playing with toys (shredding paper is a favorite pastime). With a little extra encouragement to hop in the car, he travels well once he's in. Carrots are his go-to snack.
With a high activity level, Baymax needs a home with a sturdy 6-foot fence, as he's clever enough to work a gate open, even though he's been respectful of fencing at his foster home. He's wonderful with other dogs, living happily alongside a Chihuahua and several fellow Pyrenees, and is respectful of other dogs' dominance. He does great with indoor cats and is playfully curious about outdoor ones. He's been around goats and chickens, though he wants to play with the chickens, so livestock isn't recommended. He loves to dig, as most Pyrs do, and while he can bark when left alone or in response to other dogs, he settles down for the evening and doesn’t bark at all overnight in the house.
Baymax hasn't been around children yet, but his foster believes he'd do best with older, sturdier kids who can match his energy. He's been fantastic meeting new people, greeting everyone with enthusiasm and joy. The ideal home for Baymax is an active one, ideally with another young, energetic dog as a playmate, and people who can spend quality time engaging with him directly. He thrives on attention and affection, and in return offers a goofy, funny, endlessly loving companionship that will make every day brighter!

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.
