Ori — A brave, big‑hearted Pyrenees puppy with a voice, opinions, and a story that deserves a beautiful ending! Ori’s story begins at just 4 weeks old, when he was brought to his vet with a neck laceration - and his former owner asked for euthanasia instead of care. Thanks to a vet who refused to let that be his fate, Ori got the second chance he deserved. He has healed beautifully and grown into a stunning pup with all the classic Pyr traits. Raised with other Pyr puppies and adults, Ori is learning dog manners, following the older dogs, respecting boundaries, and watching the world with that thoughtful Pyr seriousness. He’s been around cats, he loves people deeply, and he wants to be part of whatever his humans are doing. And in true Pyr fashion, Ori has opinions. If he feels overlooked, he’ll sit quietly, watch you, and then give a big, expressive Pyr bark to let you know he’d like some attention. He’s silly, affectionate, observant, independent, and wonderfully vocal - the full Pyr package. Ori will thrive with Pyr‑savvy adopters who understand guardian instincts, slow maturity, and a dog who thinks for himself. He will need a large‑breed female dog in the home to help guide him socially and give him the confident companionship he’s used to. He also requires a secure 5-foot fenced yard and would do best with older children who have large‑breed experience. A family with prior guardian breed experience would be an excellent match. Ori is ready for a home that understands the magic of this breed - the loyalty, the humor, the stubborn brilliance - and will give him the safe, loving life he fought so hard to reach. Put in your application to find out if you are the family to be won over by Ori’s classic Pyr charm!

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.
We have many Pyrs and Pyr mixes who need homes. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Adoptable Dogs.
