Meet Lorelai, a sweet, gentle girl who seems to have been born to be everyone’s best friend! This lovely Pyr was found roaming the roads in Tennessee, but she hasn’t let her uncertain beginnings dim her loving spirit. She is housebroken, leash trained, and crate trained, making her a wonderful companion ready to settle into her forever home. Lorelai has a medium activity level and enjoys playing with other dogs in the yard, but she’s equally happy soaking up the sunshine or relaxing beside her favorite person. She prefers being indoors with her family and would love a home with a canine brother and a 4-foot fenced yard.
Lorelai absolutely adores people and is always excited to meet someone new. She wants all the attention she can get and is generous with her sweet, gentle hugs! She has the most irresistible ways of politely asking for affection, and even when she’s playing, she’s remarkably gentle. Before coming to her current foster home, Lorelai regularly visited a property where she interacted wonderfully with several young children. She happily accepted their hugs and pets and even let them walk her on a lead without any issues. She also befriended the family’s chunky goat and enjoyed hanging out with her! Lorelai doesn’t mind cats, either, and seems to do best with male dogs, and doesn’t appear to care for puppies.
When it comes to her favorite activities, brushing is high on the list and is one of the quickest ways to win her heart. She also enjoys car rides, sunshine, snuggles, and, of course, chicken nuggets! Rainy weather isn’t her favorite, and she may need some encouragement to venture outside when it’s wet. Loud noises can make her uncomfortable, too, so a patient, reassuring family will help her feel safe and secure.
Lorelai is truly a family dog with love to spare. She doesn’t care what kind of day you’ve had or what you’re going through - she has friendship to offer. She’ll gladly welcome her people, befriend her furry housemates, keep them company, and snuggle up with them, too. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will make you feel like her favorite person every single day, Lorelai is ready to wrap you in a hug and steal your heart!

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.
