Oakley in KY - A Joyful, Prancing Pup!

Description

If you have been waiting for that one dog who makes your heart skip a beat, Oakley might be him! With his fluffy coat, sweet tan and black badger face, and joyful, people-loving spirit, Oakley has a way of turning heads and winning hearts wherever he goes. This handsome Great Pyrenees is full of love, charm, and the kind of happy energy that makes you feel like life is just better with a dog by your side. Oakley seems genuinely delighted to be part of the world. He loves life, loves people, and brings a happy, lighthearted energy wherever he goes. Whether he is trotting around the yard with his adorable prance, soaking up attention like it is his full-time job, or simply staying close to his humans, Oakley has a way of making ordinary moments feel a little sweeter. Oakley can be a little thoughtful when meeting someone new but give him a moment and you will see that wagging tail, gentle heart, and irresistible people-loving personality come shining through. He is affectionate, fun, and full of charm—the kind of dog who makes you feel chosen when he leans in for love. He enjoys time outside running and exploring the yard, then settles nicely once back inside. Oakley is doing well with house manners, is becoming more comfortable on leash, and is learning quickly with gentle guidance and encouragement. He also handles everyday care well and tends to take new experiences in stride. Oakley’s dream home is one where he can be truly included—where he has room to stretch his legs, people to adore, and a family who will love having him right by their side. A 5-foot fenced yard would be a wonderful match for this happy boy, giving him space to explore, play, and enjoy all the little things that make him so joyful. He would thrive with people who will continue to help him build confidence with gentle structure, encouragement, and lots of love. Oakley could do well as an only dog soaking up all the attention, but he may also be happy with the right female canine companion and even feline friends. More than anything, he is looking for a home that will treasure his bright spirit, his love of life, and the loyal, wholehearted companionship he is so ready to give. If you are looking for a dog who will make you smile, keep you company, and remind you every day how joyful life can be, Oakley may just be your PYR-fect match!   NGPR Pooch Profile Name: Oakley in KY Age: 1 yr 1 mo old as of June 2026 Color: White with black and tan badger markings Dew Claws: Yes, Double Estimated Adult Weight: 85 - 90 lbs Current Location: NGPR approved foster in Richmond, KY Medical: Neutered, dewormed, negative for heartworm, up-to-date on vaccinations and currently on flea, tick and heartworm preventative.

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. We have many Pyrs and Pyr mixes who need homes.
