*** Check Out Our Video Album Below! ***

Meet Sweetie Pie and Ralphie, an absolutely adorable bonded pair who are searching for their perfect forever home together! These two precious pups came into rescue separately but quickly formed an unbreakable bond that will melt your heart. They truly do everything together - living, eating, and sleeping side by side like the best of friends. Sweetie Pie is a confident young female Pyr and Anatolian Shepherd mix, who serves as Ralphie's anchor and security blanket. She has medium energy and prefers to be inside. This total sweetheart is housebroken, crate trained, knows basic commands, and adores getting lots of hugs! She loves attention, car rides, snuggles, and playing with Ralphie. Meanwhile, Ralphie is a low-to-medium energy gentle giant who embodies sweetness and affection without ever jumping on people. He stands super tall, which is convenient because you don't have to bend over to pet him! This precious boy is an A-1 cuddler who follows Sweetie Pie's lead and wins everyone over with his loving nature. He can be initially shy around men, but loving patience is the key to his heart! He's not a fan of loud noises or getting wet. Both dogs walk well on leash, are good with other dogs and older, calm children, and would thrive in a home with a 5-foot fence where they can chase each other around the yard and then come inside to snuggle with their favorite humans. The ideal family for this dynamic duo would be ready to welcome two loving companions who just want to be together, receive plenty of hugs and attention, and enjoy daily walks with the people they'll undoubtedly adore!

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.
