Here's what the humans have to say about me:
BEAR: A Gentle, Introverted Great Pyrenees Looking for a Quiet, Loving Home** Bear is a 3-year-old Great Pyrenees with a heart as big as his paws! He may take a little time to warm up to new faces, but once he knows you’re a friend, you’ll have a loyal and loving companion for life. While Bear can be a bit spooky with strangers, he’s quick to come around with patience and some tasty treats—though don’t be surprised if it takes him a few minutes to decide he’s ready for pets.
Bear thrives in a calm, predictable environment. He’s excellent with other dogs, has great manners at daycare, and even helps keep the peace with dog-reactive friends. True to his Pyr nature, Bear is observant and vocal when something new catches his eye, but he can be called off distractions and will settle down quickly.
Bear loves to chase sticks, swim, and play with squeaky toys. He’s also known to lounge on the furniture but is respectful if you ask him to move. He’s a low-maintenance groomer—his family can easily trim his nails, clean his ears, and brush his teeth without issue. He’s even a regular at the groomer, with no fuss. Bear does have some quirks that need understanding. He’s wary of loud noises, especially thunderstorms, and may retreat to a quiet space like the basement or shower.
He’s not very food motivated and sometimes needs encouragement to eat, but he’s an all-around gentle giant. Bear has lived with small children and babies without issue, though he’s not overly interested in them. He’s not a counter surfer, and while he does chase small animals, he’s always well-behaved around humans of all sizes. Bear needs a home with a fenced yard where he can safely explore, or on a tie-out like he’s used to. Bear would love to find a family who understands his need for a little extra time to feel comfortable and secure. He’d do great in a quieter home, ideally with a friendly dog to help him come out of his shell. Once you’ve earned his trust, Bear will be your most devoted and gentle friend.
Bear is up to date on his shots. He just needs a well visit with OUR vet and microchipping. WE chip all our dogs to the rescue first and add the adopter second.

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.
