Say hello to Marley - a sweet, social, belly‑up Pyr who loves her people! Marley is pure joy wrapped in Pyr fluff. She’s the girl who hears your voice from across the yard and instantly abandons whatever she’s doing - dogs, toys, adventures - to trot straight to you, flop onto her back, and grin up at you waiting for belly rubs. Marley is wonderfully social with other dogs, greeting them with a huge tail wag or a dramatic belly‑up invitation to play. She loves running and chasing in the yard, but she doesn’t need a dog at home as long as she gets regular playdates or doggie daycare visits. She accepts new people immediately and gently jumps up to say hello (and stops when corrected). Marley knows “sit,” will “down” for a treat, and walks well on a leash - unless she’s excited to get somewhere fun. Her gentle, friendly nature suggests she’d do great with kids who enjoy giving attention. Inside, Marley is a happy, comfy girl who appears housebroken and loves rolling onto her back for affection. She settles quietly in her crate and is respectful of her 5‑foot fence - though she’s clever enough to lift the gate latch with her nose, so securing it is important. She digs cozy dirt beds and only barks when other dogs start first. She was wonderfully gentle with cats and would be fine with a feline sibling. When it’s grooming time, Marley prefers to lay down like a queen while you brush her, clean her ears, or trim her nails - but she’ll stand if you insist. She climbs into the car on her own and rides calmly. Her only quirk is guarding her food from other dogs; she simply stands over her bowl while she eats. Marley is sweet, social, eager to please, and happiest right in the middle of family life - but she’s also a young Pyr who needs people willing to guide her as she continues learning good manners. She’s like a sponge, ready to absorb everything you teach her. If you’re looking for a girl whose tail never stops, whose smile is contagious, and whose love for people is off the charts, look no further.

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.
