Gemma in KY - #1 Fan Of Treats & Pets!

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gemma is a sweet, happy girl who came to rescue as an owner surrender to a local shelter. She is such good girl who is patiently waiting for her PYRfect family. She is a Pyr-lover’s dream, as she is crate trained, learning to walk on a leash without pulling, and knows how to “sit” and “down” for a treat. She was even fine when introduced to the cats – but when she saw one run, she did show interest in chasing. Gemma greets other dogs with a tail wag, getting along great with all of them; however she is not a player, so any dogs in her new home would simply be companions. She would also be fine as an only dog, happy to give all her attention to her people. She is very comfortable in the home. She also enjoys exploring in the yard and is happy to join in to “help” if the other dogs are barking. She would do great with a family who wants to take her everywhere as she will hop right up into the car when the door is opened, eager to join her people! This girl was so underweight when she first came into rescue, so she prefers to eat in privacy so she can take her time and not need to worry. She has truly flourished since coming to NGPR – not only thru weight gain and her coat growing back beautifully, but her personality just shines! Her ideal home will have a 5’ fenced yard, and will be with a family who has plenty of love, time, and treats to continue her training. She sure is going to love having a home and family to call her own!  NGPR Pooch Profile Name: Gemma in KY  Age: 4 yrs 3 mos old as of February 2025  Color: White with dark ears  Dew Claws: Yes, Double   Estimated Adult Weight: 85 lbs Current Location: NGPR approved boarding in Richmond, KY  Medical: Spayed, dewormed, negative for heartworm, up-to-date on vaccinations and currently on flea, tick and heartworm preventative.

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 10, 2025, 9:46 pm
