Ruthie-adopted

Adoption Pending. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Rescue Dogs.

Ruthie is a four year old female in search of a new home because her disabled guardian can no longer care for her. She is a friendly and outgoing girl who loves children and cats. She has been raised with cats, so she feels like they are her flock to protect. She would do best in a home as the only dog, and preferably one with children. Here's what the former caretaker has to say about her: "Ruthie is a wonderful, loving and gentle dog and will make someone a wonderful companion. She likes attention and is very loyal and loving. She will sleep in bed with you if you will allow. She loves to go on walks. She is afraid of storms, so she will need a little TLC just to reassure her if there is a storm." Ruthie will be placed as an inside pet with outside privileges to a secure above ground fenced yard. Pyrs do not do well with wireless fencing. We recommend obedience training for all newly adopted pyrs, to help you create a special bond with you and your new friend.

About Us: National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) is not a shelter. We are a not-for-profit, tax-exempt coalition of Pyr rescuers and rescue groups. We save Pyrs and Pyr mixes across the country and place them in approved foster homes to learn how they will interact with your family. Every dog who is fostered or adopted makes room for another Pyr coming out of a kill shelter. NGPR dogs are fostered for a minimum of two weeks or more, spayed or neutered and fully vetted before placement. NGPR will take back any dog who does not succeed in its new home. Many NGPR volunteers are members of the AKC breed club, adhere to their rescue guidelines for purebred Pyrs and apply these standards to the adoption of Pyr mixes as well. Visit www.nationalpyr.org to learn more about us, our mission and our breed.
