My name is Michellin & Koda in OH - Cuddly & Fun-Loving!!

What is better than one pooch? TWO pooches, of course! Michellin and Koda are a pair of bonded pups who are looking for a special furever home where they can stay best friends furever. This duo is truly unique - he is a big cuddly bear whereas she is a smaller version of a cuddle bug. Michellin and Koda came into rescue after fending for themselves for who knows how long, and they have been inseparable. While the two of them are the best of friends, they get along well with other canine friends, regardless of breeds, ages, or sizes. Both are kennel trained (in 4x6 runs), walk well on leash, know “sit,” and are respectful of the 5’ fence. They don’t dig, and aren’t big barkers. Despite their size differences, Michellin and Koda tackle everything together, from regular naps to romping the world looking for adventures. Both Michellin and Koda adore people and are always eager to meet new friends. If you are lucky enough to win their hearts - it's not that difficult, in case you are wondering - our boy Michellin will eagerly give you a loving big bear hug and our little girl Koda will nestle up to you for an endless amount of pets. If you are willing to open your home to these two special pups, we are pawsitive Michellin and Koda will bring you lots of happiness and laughter for years to come!

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.
