Adoption Pending. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Rescue Dogs. Bernie is a real doll-baby who comes from Northern Alabama. He was surrendered to the shelter with his mother, who was euthanized the first weekend she was there. Bernie survived and was rescued by our Al rescue volunteers where he awaits transport to a foster or adopter in the Northeast later in July. The volunteers adore him and say he is very sweet, friendly with other dogs (big ones, too!) and cats as well. He has a happy-go-lucky temperament and plays nicely with other smaller dogs. Everyone agrees that this is one pup who was just too good to leave behind.

About Us: National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) is not a shelter. We are a not-for-profit, tax-exempt coalition of Pyr rescuers and rescue groups. We save Pyrs and Pyr mixes across the country and place them in approved foster homes so we know how they will interact with your family. Please consider adopting or fostering. Every dog who is fostered or adopted makes room for another Pyr coming out of a kill shelter. Prior to adoption, NGPR dogs are fostered for a minimum of two weeks (usually more), spayed or neutered and fully vetted. Dogs coming from out of area are certified with a USDA health certificate before going to their new homes. Our rescuers adhere to the highest placement standards and will take back any dog whose adoption does not succeed. Visit www.nationalpyr.org to learn more about us, our mission and our breed.
