Our playful boy, Clayton, is crossing his paws for his very own furever family! Clayton is a Pyr mix who loves nothing more than to play, play, play, and play some more, every day! But to be honest, if you were a cute little thing with a goofy pyrsonality, wouldn't playing be the top of your priority list anyway? With that being said, Clayton is learning all about the joys of living in a house, is a good listener, and pays attention to his people. He adores getting attention from humans of all sizes, including those he’s just met while out and about! Cats are fine with him, as he met some recently and pretty much ignored them, even when one hissed at him. He enjoys going for hikes, and is equally happy both outside and indoors. This sweet boy doesn’t dig, and has an average Pyr alert bark to let you know when something is amiss. He gets along great with other dogs, and enjoys playing with the resident female who is roughly his same age. And he’s respectful of the older resident Pyr, giving him his space to snooze. Preferring to dine by himself, Clayton can be protective of his food, but that is understandable as he came into rescue as a stray. Clayton's ideal home is in an active household with other playful pups. A 6-foot fenced-in yard in a quiet neighborhood would be great too, as he’s not a fan of sudden loud noises. Don't hesitate, and fill out an application for playful Clayton now!

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.
