Snow Bear is a big, fluffy love-bug with a heart as soft as his fur. Despite a very difficult start to his life, Snow Bear has endured and retained his sweet spirit. He is currently in boarding, so he would love either a foster or furever home. He’s happiest lounging in the sunshine, getting brushed, and hanging out with his dog friends. While he enjoys attention, he’s a laid-back guy who’s also perfectly content to hang out in your vicinity with the occasional ear rub. He’s a bit of an independent spirit—he knows what “no” means (especially when digging holes), but listening…? - As for all Great Pyrs, that’s optional! Snow Bear walks well on a leash but prefers to take care of business off-leash in his own time. His perfect home would include a 5’ fenced yard, a patient and kind pyrent or two, possibly a canine friend to pal around with, and a comfy spot outside to soak up the sun. His overall gentle nature indicates he’d likely do well in a calm, loving environment for his forever home. Does Snow Bear sound like just the missing piece for your family?

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.
