Courtesy Listing:
Steve and Robin are a bonded pair of Great Pyrenees who appear to be mixed with Black Mouth Cur. They have long, soft double coats and hearts full of love just waiting to be unlocked. Found near-feral in the woods of Tennessee, these two have come an incredibly long way — and the journey to earning their trust is one of the most rewarding things you'll ever experience.
Both dogs are house-trained and crate trained, and they have great house manners. They've settled beautifully into home life and adore having a cozy den space to call their own — a covered crate loaded up with soft bedding and favorite chew toys, big enough for the two of them to snuggle up together. Their activity level is moderate: they love a good case of the zoomies in a big yard, but they're equally happy to spend the rest of the day curled up together in a warm corner. Steve and Robin are fantastic with cats and tend to lose interest once a new scent becomes familiar. They do great with small puppies, though they prefer very calm dogs overall and can be selective with new canine friends. They've handled calm vet visits like champs and are generally well-behaved in new situations, though they appreciate a gentle, unhurried approach. They're not big barkers — you'll mostly hear from them when they need outside time or want to let you know something's up at the boundary.
Steve is a total attention hog who has perfected the Pyr Paw and will absolutely try to elbow Robin out of the spotlight the moment belly rubs are on the table. Robin is gentler and more reserved, but once you've earned her trust, she is pure magic. Both dogs have moved from near-feral to actively seeking out love and affection, and that transformation says everything about who they are. Steve loves to dig, so your yard may acquire some character. Leash work is still in progress — both dogs are a little nervous about it — but with patience and a slow, positive approach, they're making strides. A four-foot fence is all that's needed to keep them happily contained, as neither has any interest in escape artistry.
Steve and Robin are looking for a calm, experienced home, possibly with older kids who have a naturally quiet and gentle energy. They need a family who understands that trust takes time, who will give them space when they need it and hugs when they ask for them, and who has a yard big enough for the occasional wild sprint. They can thrive as a duo-only household or alongside other very chill canine companions. In return, you'll get two absolutely gorgeous, deeply sweet dogs who will love you with everything they've got — once they know it's safe to do so. And it will be so worth the wait.

More Information: Questions? The fastest way to learn more about a dog is to fill out our Adoption Application. If you call or e-mail you are reducing your chances of adopting this animal as we direct our time and energy to first serving those who apply.
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.
