Koda in MD - World's Greatest Snuggle Buddy!

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Meet Koda, a handsome young Great Pyrenees with long, fluffy white fur, the most adorable face you’ve ever seen, and a giant personality that will have you laughing all day long! This remarkably sweet, affectionate, silly, and playful boy embodies classic young-pup energy, fluctuating between peaceful naps and energetic zoomies. Koda is mostly housebroken and knows basic commands. He has a medium energy level and enjoys leash walks - he’s super happy when the leash and harness come out, and tends to pull on the lead in his excitement. Koda doesn’t know the concept of personal space, so expect this loving boy to be your constant snuggle-bug! He thrives with other dogs and shows excellent social skills, playing well with his foster family's resident dogs and new dogs he meets on walks. He's naturally submissive and backs down when other dogs aren't interested in play, and he'd absolutely love having canine playmates in his forever home. There are no cats with his current foster, but we heard that he was great with kitties in the past, loving to cuddle with them! He's a people-lover who barks enthusiastically at strangers at the door but quickly becomes an excited greeter once they're inside. Barking is fun, and Koda loves patrolling his territory, and a 4-foot fence contains him well as he shows no desire to jump. This outdoor-loving pup enjoys being brushed and petted, absorbing all the attention he can get. Koda can be protective of his food, and will need a Pyr-experienced adopter. If you’re a fan of big-dog cuddles and have a playful pup or two who’d love a new sibling, then Koda could be your Pyr-fect match!

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.  July 8, 2025, 9:39 pm
