Willow in LA - Loves Cuddles, Toys & Playtime!

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Meet Willow, a gentle giant Pyr mix who will steal your heart with her attentive nature and loving personality! Willow is the perfect blend of playful and calm, making her an ideal companion for a variety of homes. She's mastered her basic commands including "sit," "stay," "lay," "roll over," and "paw," showing off both her intelligence and eagerness to please. This smart girl is housebroken, crate trained, and walks beautifully on a leash - though she might occasionally request a belly rub before starting her walk! One of Willow's most endearing qualities is her incredible ability to read the room and adjust her energy accordingly. She's a natural at gentle play, demonstrated by her sweet relationship with her feline friend, a 9-month-old kitten whom she treats with remarkable gentleness. She also shares her home with a 40-pound canine, proving she's a wonderful companion to other dogs. Willow has shown her adaptability at family gatherings, and is comfortable exploring stores like Tractor Supply, though she prefers calm introductions to new people. She will bark when warranted and digs a little, but her passion lies with her toys! This playful girl loves her toys and shows remarkable intelligence in knowing which ones she can play rough with and which require a gentler touch. Willow is a devoted cuddle-bug who will make you feel instantly calm in her presence. She's equally content spending time indoors or outdoors and respects a 5-foot fence. The perfect home for Willow would include at least one other pet - either a dog or cat - as she thrives on companionship and play. She'd do best with older, calmer children, and she needs a family who will appreciate both her playful spirit and her cuddles. Her future family should be prepared to work with some minor food bowl sensitivity, but this sweet girl's loving nature and attentive personality make her an absolute joy to have around. - Written by H.B.

If you call or e-mail you are reducing your chances of adopting this animal as we direct our time and energy to first serving those who apply. 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. May 1, 2025, 4:15 pm
