Orion is a gentle giant with a heart of gold and a story of resilience! This handsome, young Great Pyrenees has overcome significant challenges, transforming from a neglected pup to a loving companion ready for his forever home. Orion is a remarkably well-behaved boy who loves nothing more than having his head scratched and enjoying the comforts of indoor living. Previously living with a family that included three young children, a male Chihuahua, and a cat, he has proven to be exceptionally gentle and adaptable. This sweet soul is housebroken and learning how to walk on a leash. He has a low activity level that suggests he'll be the perfect companion for a relaxed household. While he might bark at horses, he's otherwise quiet and well-mannered. His dream home would likely include a 4.5-foot fenced yard, and possibly children and another companion dog, as he clearly thrives on gentle interaction and companionship. - 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. February 17, 2025, 9:36 am
