Male Dog, Great Pyrenees
Great Pyrenees (Long Coat)
Description:
*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Lorek has an old soul, a sprinkle of puppy energy, and a whole lot of love to give! This big, beautiful boy was found running down a highway in Nashville, TN, but those wandering days are behind him - now he's ready to find his forever home and become someone's devoted shadow. Lorek is wonderfully well-mannered - he’s housebroken, leash trained, and kennel trained, and he knows "sit" and "heel" (when the mood strikes, as any self-respecting Pyr will tell you), and he's working hard on "stay." His activity level is a happy medium - laid-back and relaxed about 90% of the time, with zoomies at least once a day just to keep things interesting! A 5-foot fence will keep this gentle giant safely in the yard. Lorek lives comfortably beside two male Pyrs and is non-reactive around his foster family's pony, mini donkey, and alpaca. He's even unbothered by the neighbors' chickens! He's loving with the resident cats and will occasionally want to play. He would do just fine as an only dog as well. Lorek isn't much of a barker - his foster has only heard him bark once! His preferred form of communication is an adorable whine when he's feeling a little attention-starved. Speaking of attention, that's truly what this boy lives for. He has zero interest in toys, but put him next to his favorite person and he is in absolute heaven. He loves tagging along for barn chores, and has shown no interest in digging. Oh, and if you really want to win his heart?… Offer him a spoonful of yogurt! Lorek's ideal home would be with someone who has plenty of time and presence to give - a work-from-home professional or a retiree would be his dream match! He'd love a home with a backyard where he can stretch those long legs. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle, low-drama companion who just wants to be by your side every moment of the day, Lorek just might be your perfect boy.

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.
