Meet Sissy, a senior Great Pyrenees girl who has a gentle spirit and loving nature, and is ready to find her forever home! This beautiful girl sports an all-white, medium-length coat and soulful dark brown eyes. Sissy is a calm and people-friendly companion who adores meeting new friends, especially children. She rides okay in cars, but wants to be in the front seat so she needs a harness to keep her out of the driver’s lap. She walks very well on a leash, is house trained and crate trained. Her treat motivation makes training sessions a joy, and she’s already learned her basic commands. When it comes to grooming, her foster mom says she is “an absolute dream!" She doesn’t mind having her nails trimmed and when being brushed, she will lean into the brush as if to ask for more pampering! Besides hanging out with her people, more of her favorite things include peanut butter sandwiches, going on daily walks, and taking a dip in the pool. During park walks, Sissy demonstrates remarkable composure, peacefully ignoring other animals like ducks and squirrels. She doesn’t even care when the deer hang out on the other side of the fence at her foster home. Her relaxed demeanor and gentle temperament make her an ideal companion for families looking for a steady, affectionate dog who's past the high-energy puppy stage. She loves attention from all humans and enjoys playing with her furry companions as well. She would do well in any home where love and consistency is in abundance. A four-foot fenced-in yard would be a welcomed perk for this senior lady. Are you ready to welcome this sweet and eager-to-please girl into your home? Sissy is waiting to shower her new family with love and companionship, promising loyal friendship and gentle cuddles.

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.
