Great Pyrenees puppies and dogs in Highland Park, New Jersey

Simon says “give me treats.” Simon says “scratch my ears.” Now touch your nose. Ope, Simon didn’t say!💙🐾 Simon is an 11-month-old Great Pyrenees, currently weighing in at 65 pounds with a bit more growing to do. Little smarty pants—that’s Simon! This fella is so smart and loving. He is shy when first meeting new people, and would do best in a calmer household without young children. Though, older children/teens with prior dog experience would be great! He is a very submissive and gentle guy who loves to boop your leg with his nose to get your attention. His silly nature is similar to his siblings. Simon is a go with the flow kind of guy who is just happy to play or relax. Simon is a lovebug through and through, and he is so ready to love you! Simon does great with other dogs and would love a canine companion in his forever home. Simon also gets along well with cats. He would make a wonderful family member to any sized family looking to add a soft, fluffy cloud to the mix. Just look at that smile! If you’re looking for the best guy to be a part of your life, look no further than this fluffy boy. Simon says “adopt me!” Apply to adopt Simon at www.homeforgooddogs.org 💙🐾 Simon is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application.

Meet Simba. Simba was dumped in our neighborhood which is very rural. We first noticed him when he walked up the driveway one morning. As soon as we headed towards him, he ran away. Poor thing was scared out of his mind and very confused. He had just been dumped by his family and he had no idea where he was. We set up our biggest live trap and then we waited. The first night, we caught the neighbor's cat. The second night we caught a gorgeous red fox. Third night was a charm, there he was bright and early in the morning. He did NOT want to come out of the cage so we had to lift the cage and bring into the back yard. Took him a while but he eventually came out. The first thing he did as we approached him was roll over on his back! To this day, as soon as anybody goes to him, boom, on his back he goes! He is such a gentle giant, tolerates anybody and anything, including our crazy Chihuahuas who chase him all the time! We had no idea what his breed mix was so we did a DNA on him. Pyrenees is the predominant breed but he also has Bulldog, Golden, Lab and even 5% Chihuahua if you can believe that! He is neutered, heat worm negative, fully vaccinated and ready for transport. Simba is truly a gem! ADOPTION FEE $500

Sansa, Jasmine, Maple, Ava, and Hobbs are all Great Pyrenees/Retriever mix puppies born on May 9th. These huggable, lovable teddy bears are ready for their homes! 4 have found their forever homes, and 5 are remaining. There are 4 females and 1 male left in the litter. As of 9/24, these puppies weighed between 25-27 lbs each, and just are hitting their growth spurt 😊 Here is what the foster wrote about each of them as of 9/24- Hobbs – He is an old soul in a puppy’s body. Hobbs is the smallest of the litter and a very sweet boy that can be somewhat sensitive in nature, although remaining very loving and affectionate. Probably from getting picked on by his bigger brothers and sisters, but I’m sure with time on his own he will flourish. He is a laid-back boy that mostly enjoys lounging around, taking long naps, and keeping to himself. He is a quiet, happy, smiley boy that prefers to stay out of trouble. His love language is gift giving (treats) and quality time. He is a happy guy anywhere, indoors or outdoors. He has a new love for water and getting dirty, when he used to be very dainty and clean haha. Maple - Maple is a sweet girl that respects her boundaries and chooses not to escape. She would be great for someone wanting to teach a dog off leash and recall, as she does not stray far from you at any given time. She prefers to stay dry and clean although she will go in water on her own terms. Maple enjoys playing with kids and other dogs and expresses interest in treats (zukes) and running after the ball. Maple is a very happy-go-lucky gal that is seeking companionship. Maple also expresses interest in moving reflections on the ground, she has the potential to be a red dot chaser (laser pointer light). Maples love language is gift giving and quality time. Ava - Ava has the softest prettiest white coat of all the pups. Her ears are like little radars, and she will alarm you of anything going on out of the ordinary. She also enjoys talking back to you from time to time, but not nearly as often as her sister. When she’s not on high alert, Ava enjoys lounging around and napping. She is very laid back most of the time. She is your shadow and loves to be next to you. She LOVES to be petted and get belly rubs. Ava likes to go for walks and explore new things, she’s a very curious girl. Her love languages are gift giving (treats) and quality time. Jasmine – Description: PERFECT. Knows sit and shake. Very smart. Jasmine has a love for the outdoors and wide-open spaces. After a long walk, Jasmine enjoys sitting in the swimming pool, although not fully submerged, just enough to cool off her backside. She likes to use her front paws to give hugs and to shake. She is a sweet girl who is full of love and kisses. Sometimes you will find Jasmine just sitting back, relaxing and people watching in the shade. She enjoys a good belly rub and will roll over on her back so that you know exactly what she needs. Loves her attention and will lean on her siblings to push them down to get more loving from the humans. She’s a hoot. The mom is a beautiful white retriever mix, and the dad is a Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix on the smaller side. We do have pictures of the parents and mom will be getting fixed and staying with the original finder. We estimate full grown these puppies will be around 55-70 lbs. These puppies have got it all going on. They were born in foster care and have been exposed to other dogs, all ages of children and adults since they were born and are the friendliest, most loving puppies you’ll meet. They LOVE water. Give them a pool, take them to the river/lake/ocean or any body of water and they’ll go crazy. Their thicker coats make them wonderful candidates to live up north during the winter and enjoy the beautiful summers. We have a fun video of them playing in their pool! They all love children! They would make wonderful family dogs. Their tails don’t stop wagging when they see people and they are always up for a good time, whether it’s playing outside, going on walks, or just learning new things. The current foster has 2 children - 3 and 5 years old and they do fantastic with them. They are house trained. 5 puppies are a lot to have, but these babies are already learning quickly. Very smart. They follow the fosters dogs outside and when given one on one time, they will master whatever you teach them. They love to cuddle and give kisses. You’ll get kisses galore with them! They are all very quirky, amazing puppies that are all around happy go lucky and just love to cuddle, run around, play and get lots of love. These babies will make FANTASTIC family dogs and very loyal companions. ________________________________________________________________________________ If you would like to adopt this doggy/puppy, please complete an application on our website: www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is healthy, up to date on vaccinations, current on preventions, dewormed and microchipped.

Pete is a loving and sensitive 2 year old Great Pyrenees with a heart as big as his size! He bonds quickly with his people and absolutely loves affection. While Pete needs some time to adjust to new environments, a home with patient, caring people who can help him build confidence is exactly what he needs. Crates aren't his favorite, but he's made great progress in overcoming his fear. Pete is happy to spend time on his own, but he also enjoys the company of another large dog for guidance and some playtime, even though he doesn't always initiate play, just having another dog around makes him feel a bit more confident! His favorite thing, however, is simply being around people who love him. He likely didn't have much structure before coming to Rescue City, as he was severely emaciated and had likely spent most of his life outside :(. Despite his past, Pete is a sweet-atured boy who is ready to find a forever home filled with love and affection. Could that be with you?  Adopt Pete today! ##2129181##

Lily is a six-year-old Great Pyrenees/Labrador mix with a big heart and lots of love to give. She’s incredibly affectionate and loves lounging at the feet of people she loves, especially with a peanut butter Kong to snack on. When she's not being a couch potato, she enjoys agility training and walking in the woods and through town. Just don't be surprised if she decides to do six or seven somersaults in a row in the grass. Lily thrives in a chill environment where she can have her space and relax. She’s been trained with top-tier professionals and really 'locks in' during training sessions. She's a joy to work with. She also has lifetime access to training at the Upstate Canine Academy. For the right adopter, especially someone with experience around clever dogs, she’ll be an incredible companion. Lily would do best in a quiet home, ideally without young kids, where she can get the love and attention she deserves. If you’re interested in meeting Lily, we’d love to chat!

Meet Thelma! Thelma is a 1 to 2-year-old 57-pound Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Sheperd mix. Thelma is as sweet as she is beautiful. Thelma does great in a crate and on a leash. She is good with all children big and small and every dog she meets. Thelma's favorite thing to do is romp around with her doggy friends! She is very smart, eager to learn, and very treat motivated. Thelma had blood work at her recent vet visit. Interested in becoming a forever home for Thelma?

This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses. All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed. Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
