My name is MoonLily in LA - Chill & Gentle!!

You know, they say that dogs are our best friends, MoonLily most definitely read that memo and then some! This beautiful young girl is truly everything anyone can hope for in a Pyr companion. MoonLily is medium-energy, with a zest for life and anything fun - especially if she’s getting attention, which she adores! MoonLily is mature for her age - a gentle giant, especially when it comes to the two-legged youngsters. She is no doubt the most trustworthy and attentive playmate one can ever hope for. When it is playtime, MoonLily is a joy to watch, as she runs around with her four-legged friends, chasing each other and exploring the outdoors. When it is time for the daily walks, MoonLily is the model citizen, demonstrating manners that are beyond her age - seriously, you will be impressed by how lovely a walking companion she is. She is also crate trained, listens well, and is very obedient. She hasn’t shown any desire to dig, and is not a big barker. A 5’ fence would work for this sweet girl. During down times, MoonLily is more than content to hang out by your feet with a nice chew as everyone relaxes and enjoy each other's company, or take some “me time” to chill out on her own, demonstrating her Pyr independence. She could be an only-dog, or part of a pack if her people are Pyr-knowledgeable. So what say you? Are you ready to open your heart and your home to this adorable young girl?

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

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.
