Artemis, sister of Apollo, is 60 pounds of Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd mix. Like Apollo, she is housebroken and very well-mannered.

Artemis, sister of Apollo, is 60 pounds of Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd mix. Like Apollo, she is housebroken and very well-mannered. She patrols the yard, tolerating the two silly cats and the three other male dogs as only a lady can. She is a bit more standoffish than her brother, almost giving the appearance of being skittish, but never snapping or snarling at anyone or anything - children included. She has the typical coloration of the Anatolian Shepherd breed, but has a longer, thicker coat, and very soft. She will need regular brushings come summer time, and sheds lightly, just like the Great Pyrenees, but is easy to keep clean with a regular brushing. Artemis loves to be loved on, and enjoys the company of other dogs and animals - cats included. She likes the occasional biscuit, and takes to training well. She will provide her forever home with the loving devotion that only the Pyrenees breed can.

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.
