My name is Simon in MD - pending!

Simon, one of our three “Chipmunk” brothers, came to rescue with two adult females (one was their mom) and one adult male after being surrendered by a farmer. The dogs were wandering with other pups and some were not so lucky after being hit by cars. The three boys were very malnourished, weak, and lethargic to the point they could not receive vaccinations for a few weeks. Fast forward and the three boys are doing great and loving life in their foster home! Simon doesn’t know a stranger, greeting everyone (even guests) with a happy smile and those adorable eyes! He shares his foster home with 8 other dogs and gets along great with all of them. He often can be found pulling toys out of the toy box or playing a game of chase in the backyard with the gang! He loves everything about the outdoors, playing, chilling, and is usually the last to come when called in. If anyone is missing from the bedtime headcount, it is always Simon, who will be found outside, hoping to not be noticed! He would love a home where he can curl up next to his family and get the love he deserves. Simon is hoping for a refrigerator stocked with whipped cream—a treat he and his brothers love. He will come running from across the house ready for a squirt in his mouth! A canine brother or sister would be great too with a secure, 5’ fenced yard to run, play and hang out in!

Our relationship doesn’t end with adoption, as we continue to support adopters throughout the lifetime of their dog.

NYS Registered Non-Profit Rescue # RR102. National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) has been rescuing and adopting out Great Pyrenees since 2006.

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are:â€ڑ) 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 may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQ for an application and information about our fostering program.
