Description:
*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Our sweet senior girl, Peace, is looking for her furever family to enjoy her golden years. Peace has had a difficult life prior to coming into rescue, but she has since discovered that there remains a lot of love in this world and she is eager to enjoy every ounce of affection her humans have to spare. This lovely, gentle girl has excellent house manners, and despite her age, she is still quite mobile and agile! Yes, you read that correctly - agile! She enjoys going for short adventures around the neighborhood, and walks exceptionally well on leash. Even at 13 years old, Peace does not let her guard down when it comes to her territory - critters and intruders be gone, she woofs! As much as Peace does well with other, similar-sized dogs, she would thrive in a home where she can be a solo pup, as the only princess. Why, you ask? Because she deserves it! Peace adores being the center of attention and will often hang out by your side, waiting for ear scratches and rubs. What's not to love about that? Do you have a 5-foot fenced yard and a quiet home where Peace can enjoy the perks she has missed out on when she was younger? If you open your home to this senior girl, Peace will be furever grateful and maybe you will be lucky enough to listen to all the stories she has to share with you!

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.
