Thousands of Pyrs and Pyr mixes, as well as other abandoned dogs, end up in shelters across the country. It takes a great deal of work to find homes for them, but the good news is that there are many people rescuing, fostering, and adopting these dogs. My daughter, Emily, and her family have adopted a Great Pyr mix, and he is a gentle, sweet, big dog. I have written about him in my book Waiting for the Magic. His name is Neo.
Dogs make great friends and companions to all ages of people.
If you go to NationalPyr.org you can see the many Great Pyr dogs waiting for adoption, and those who have found homes.
