Cooper in CT - Happy-Go-Lucky Gentle Giant!

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Say hello to Cooper, a magnificent adult Great Pyrenees who's basically a walking cloud of love! This gentle giant is the perfect combination of majestic fluff and goofy charm. Cooper's got the classic Great Pyrenees trot down to an art form—he'll gracefully cruise across your yard like he's showing off his moves, though don't expect any crazy zoomies from this dignified fellow. Cooper's got some solid training under his collar—he walks well on leash, and knows "sit" and "come,” and here's the adorable kicker: he'll actually come when called, but only if he knows you're watching him. It's like he's saying, "I'll be good, but I need you to witness my excellence!" His foster mom can't stop gushing about him, declaring "What a love!" and describing him as genuinely happy-go-lucky. This sweet boy came to rescue as an owner surrender because his previous home had a 4.5-foot fence that simply couldn't contain his desire to be around people instead of goats (honestly, who can blame him?). The good news? A proper 5-foot fence does the trick perfectly—Cooper hasn't even bothered testing the boundaries at his current foster home. Cooper likes to dine by himself, as he arrived to rescue severely underweight and wasn’t always sure if food would be plentiful. He's fantastic with dogs and wants nothing more than to play with his four-legged friends, and absolutely melts for car rides, grooming sessions, and any attention you're willing to shower on him. Cooper is ready to be your loyal, fluffy shadow and the gentle giant your family didn't know they were missing!

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. September 7, 2025, 3:27 pm
