Description
*** Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Meet Oreo - a fluffy, cookie-named cutie who's every bit as sweet as her namesake! Oreo has long, soft fur and the cutest ears that have a mind of their own, sticking up every which way in an adorable fashion statement. She's working on her crate-training and is currently in the process of learning house manners and basic commands - she's already got "wait" and "let's go in" down pat! Oreo has a high puppy activity level, so she keeps things fun and lively. She currently plays in a 4-foot exercise pen but can climb out of it, so a 6-foot fence is needed to keep her safely contained. Her foster mom’s 15-year-old grandson comes over to visit and play with her, and she'd do well with kids of any age. She's been around chickens and barks at them to say her greetings. She enjoys barking to hear the sound of her own voice (just like a grown-up Pyr!). Oreo is happy having adventures and naptime both inside and outdoors. She likes to be held, loves squeaky toys, likes car rides, and loves playing with her sister. Loud noises will cause her to stop and look around, and she avoids getting wet if at all possible. Her favorite treat is cheese, and she hopes that her forever family will have some waiting for her! Oreo has an instigator personality and she likes to steal toys from her sister. She plays hard, and naps even harder, preferring to sleep on her back. The ideal home for Oreo would be an active one with another dog to play with and show her the ropes. Her best qualities shine through in her playful, active spirit - she's a puppy who loves to be petted and held, and is sure to bring joy and laughter to the lucky family who adopts her!

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