Great Pyrenees / Mixed (Long Coat)
Description:
*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Meet Hazel, a young "Pocket Pyr" with a stunning long, soft fur coat adorned with gorgeous black markings! This sweet girl was picked up as a stray by Animal Control in Louisiana and is now ready to find her forever home. While Hazel is naturally shy and timid as she adjusts to rescue life, she truly comes alive when surrounded by her canine companions, looking to them for guidance and confidence. Her activity level soars when she has other dogs to play with, making her the perfect addition to a multi-dog household. Hazel has already mastered crate training and finds great comfort in her safe space, and she’s housebroken and learning to walk on leash. This water-loving pup has discovered the joy of swimming and absolutely loves beach adventures and splashing through creeks. She's also quite the foodie who can't resist a good treat! - she’s not picky and looks forward to tasting all the local cuisine! She enjoys both indoor and outdoor time, but her preference is always to have canine friends nearby for companionship and play. The ideal home for Hazel would include at least one other dog, specifically a playful male canine companion who can help build her confidence and provide the social interaction she craves. A 4-foot fenced yard would allow her to safely explore and play, while patient adopters who understand she may need time to warm up would help her blossom into the loving companion she's meant to be.

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.
