Female Dog, Great Pyrenees
Great Pyrenees (Long Coat)
Description:
Willow is a gorgeous Great Pyrenees girl with all the classic beauty of her breed - a long, soft coat that seems made for dramatic slow-motion moments in the breeze! Found roaming as a stray in McKenzie, Tennessee, this serene and soulful girl is now ready to find the loving forever home she deserves. Willow is housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, and her natural desire to please makes her an absolute joy in the home. She's on the quieter side for a Pyr - less barking than you'd typically expect from the breed - and her activity level is refreshingly mild. She's not looking to run marathons; she's more of a "supervise the backyard thoughtfully" kind of girl. Speaking of which, Willow's happiest when she's outside soaking up fresh air, getting a little dirty, and playing with friends, but she's equally happy retreating to a cozy indoor bed when the day is done. A 4-foot fence will keep her safely contained, and she has zero escape artist tendencies. When it comes to her people and her pals, Willow shines. She loves all dogs, is good with cats, and is wonderful with children - she's been a gentle, patient companion with kids as young as three years old. She has no shyness whatsoever with new people, greeting everyone with her signature subtle gentleness and, if you're lucky, one of her reportedly fantastic kisses. What truly makes Willow special is her quiet, reflective soul. Her foster describes her as the kind of dog who loves to stand majestically in the yard, fur flowing in the breeze, gazing into the distance in careful contemplation of the universe. She is, in a word, magnificent. Oh, and she's a fan of kettle chips, so points to anyone who shows up with a bag. Willow would thrive in a calm home with a fenced backyard and at least one canine companion to share her adventures. Could you be the forever home this dreamy girl has been waiting for?

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.
