Maria in VA - Silly, Independent & Smart!

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Maria, the comic of the crew, is one of 4 girls and 2 boys in The Hamilton Litter, who are making their big debut! This litter of pups came to rescue after being surrendered by the farm where they were born. These kiddos are being raised in a foster home with other dogs and they even get to watch the donkeys in the pasture! They are learning house manners and to go outside for potty time. Miss Maria’s foster mom describes her as not only funny with her antics, but she is also very smart! She thinks it is “cute” to steal things and take them outside! She has a silly, independent nature and enjoys being the boss of her siblings. She loves playing with her siblings but is easily content to go off to play on her own. This girl is a complete sweetheart, loving her people and sitting on their laps for loves! Maria can be placed with cats and kids and will require a home with a 5’ secure fenced yard and a large breed canine brother to help her become a good citizen!

NYS Registered Non-Profit Rescue # RR102. National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) has been rescuing and adopting out Great Pyrenees since 2006. Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are:&#226&#128&#1681) 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 may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding.
