Hi, I’m Marcie, the Great…Pyrenees. At 8-months old, I boast a big personality and a kind heart. All 60 pounds of me will sit in your lap, if you let me. Though I’m hearing impaired, it doesn’t hinder me in any way as I can communicate through Sign Language. All of my other senses are heightened and I’m aware of everything! Vacuum cleaner, beware!
Though I had a rough start to life, I’m resilient and independent. Although, I believe your definition of independent might be a little different than mine. I think you humans may call it stubbornness. Whatever the case, I’m working on it.
Alongside my resilience and independence, I’m also very clever! As a puppy, I’ve already mastered a few puzzle toys, which I’m sure older dogs would find challenging. This, however, might have something to do with being food motivated as treats are hidden inside the puzzles. I LOVE treats!! Some of my favorites are salmon and chicken jerky, bully sticks and pupsicles from Woof.
I think it might be important to mention some of my other personality traits to help you better understand me. I’m a guardian dog, which basically means I protect. So with protection comes some barking. Also, though I love and need exercise, leash walking is not my favorite. I tend to bark and get a little anxious when I encounter cars, other dogs on a leash and baby strollers. Again, it might have something to do with wanting to protect and/or possibly my deafness.
With all that said, I do have a few, small requests, if it’s not too much to ask. For starters, I need patience and understanding as I’m a dog with special needs. A rural setting with a large, fenced in property would be best for me so I can run freely and play hard as I love to chase balls and play with my flirt pole. A playmate is a definite possibility, as long as he or she is a younger dog. I like children, but older children would be better as I’m already a strong and sturdy girl. Lastly, I would greatly benefit from further training to help with leash walking and basic commands due to my breed and my deafness.
I’m Marcie, the Great….Pyrenees. I will dedicate my life to protecting and loving on you. I only need a chance. Please contact Shelly - shellyallard@yahoo.com for placement in your home

NEPR interviews each applicant and also conducts a home visit to ensure this is the right breed for them. The Great Pyrenees is not a breed for everyone. Education about the breed is key for prospective owners to avoid mistakes in placement. If the placement isn't working, Northeast Pyr Rescue will take the dog back immediately under any circumstances. Adopting a dog locally has several advantages. A volunteer goes to the home of the prospective owners and makes suggestions for the dog's care. Prospective owners can also meet and "interview" dogs at conveniently located facilities or foster homes. Our canine behavioralists specialize in working with Pyrs and are always available for questions or support. We ask for a donation of $25 at the time of the home visit, and then a donation of $350 when a Great Pyrenees is adopted from our rescue.

More about this rescue
NorthEast Pyr Rescue (NEPR) is a non-profit corporation and an all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing compassionate, coordinated and comprehensive rescue services for Great Pyrenees dogs in our region, the North East portion of the United States.
We have Three Primary Goals:
1.) Rescue and Re-homing –We provide rescue care for Great Pyrenees dogs that are lost, abandoned, neglected or surrendered and place them in loving permanent homes. In many instances the dogs have lived with attentive and loving families but due to difficult circumstances, such as divorce or owner death, the Pyr needs to find a new home. In some cases dogs have been neglected or abandoned and have special care needs.
2.) Education – We teach people about the Great Pyrenees breed characteristics and convey information regarding proper dog selection and the importance of spaying and neutering. Members set up educational booths at county fairs, public events, Pet-Co, live stock events, and dog shows to disseminate information and answer questions. We distribute about 500 educational fliers and pamphlets each year a s well as speak to approximately 1,000 people.
3.) Consultation and Assistance – We work with owners who are experiencing behavioral problems with their Pyrs, connecting them with experienced breeders and owners who understand and help resolve their issues of concern. In most instances, with dedicated owners, we can provide easy solutions so the Pyr can remain in their home forever.
