More about Sweetie Pie & Ralphie in CT - Love Hugs!

*** Check Out Our Video Album Below! *** Meet Sweetie Pie and Ralphie, an adorable bonded pair looking for their forever home together! These two delightful pups are fully housebroken and know basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "outside," plus they walk beautifully on leash. They absolutely love playing together both indoors and out, and while Sweetie Pie has a bit more energy, they both enjoy long walks and running around in the yard. A 4-foot fence works perfectly for them, and they're both fantastic in the car and absolutely love the snow! When it comes to meeting new people, Sweetie Pie is an instant snuggle buddy who would happily be petted all day long and loves being a "leaner" who always wants to be touching someone, while Ralphie is a big teddy bear who may bark initially when someone enters the house but quickly warms up and loves to give hugs and his signature Pyr Paw. Both dogs are amazing with young children, and got tons of love from middle schoolers at a football game, so they'd do wonderfully in a family setting. While Ralphie prefers that other dogs don't come into the house, both are perfectly fine with dogs they meet on walks or outings. These two love their bones, with Ralphie especially enjoying his rope and duck toys, and they both go crazy for bacon and cheese treats! Sweetie Pie has the cutest habit of sleeping on her back and would happily lounge on the couch with you all day, while Ralphie is quite the talker (you'd think he's part husky!) and loves laying at your feet as your loyal companion. The ideal home for this wonderful pair would include a yard where they can run and play together, and they'd be thrilled to be your forever friends who shower you with love, snuggles, and plenty of joyful moments!

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.
