Say hello to Sunnie, a beautiful girl with a medium-to-long, irresistibly soft and fluffy coat! Sunnie came into our care after her devoted owner, facing illness and health challenges, made the loving decision to find her a home where she could truly thrive. We're so grateful Sunnie found her way to us - and now she's ready to find you! Sunnie is a very active girl who loves bones, toys, and running - so if you've been looking for a four-legged workout partner, look no further! Her foster affectionately calls her "Sunnie Bun" because of her playful, bouncy personality. She has a signature move: standing up to give the warmest people-hugs you've ever received. When Sunnie wants your attention, she'll let you know with the sweetest nudge, her not-so-subtle way of saying, "Hey, let's play!" Sunnie does best indoors and would love a home with a 4-foot fence for safe outdoor adventures. She's crate trained - once she's in, she's a champ - so patience during the getting-in part goes a long way! She can be timid with new people at first, but give her a bit of time and her true sunny personality shines right through. On the treat front, Sunnie is a big fan - and peanut butter is her absolute favorite. Consider yourself warned: she will absolutely work those big, beautiful eyes for a spoonful! Sunnie does well with male dogs and got along happily with her former resident male Jack Russell companion. Her ideal home is with or without another dog, with an active single person or couple who can shower her with love, structure, and plenty of adventure. Sunnie is ready to give someone her whole heart - she just needs a patient, loving person (or two!) to give her the chance to bloom. Could that be you?

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.
We have many Pyrs and Pyr mixes who need homes. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Adoptable Dogs.
