Meet Fozzy, a sweet young boy with a gentle heart and a lot of love to give! Fozzy is a Pyrenees and Poodle mix, so he has a stunning black and tan coat that’s both soft and curly. Fozzy is a quick learner, already excelling with leash walking, house training, crate training. He’s such a good boy - when out on a walk, he will sit and wait when you stop walking. He loves attention and thrives on hugs, kisses, and cuddles — the more, the better! Fozzy gets along wonderfully with dogs and cats, especially happy when there's a canine buddy around to show him the ropes. He’s a little shy with new people but warms up quickly once he feels safe. Ideal for a moderately active family, Fozzy enjoys spending time both indoors and outdoors (with a 5' fence). He would do well with calm, dog-savvy kids and another dog to help him build confidence. Fozzy’s sweet nature and eagerness to please make him a wonderful companion for someone ready to offer the love and structure he needs to thrive. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly friend, Fozzy might just be your perfect match!

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.
