Adoption Pending. You can see more of these beautiful dogs by clicking on Rescue Dogs. Sugar Bear is as sweet as her name. She's a Pyrenees/Akbash mix, which we have found to be an excellent combination of breeds. Akbash are taller and lankier than Pyrs and can be energetic jumpers, so a good sized yard and 5 foot or higher fence are a must.  Their beautiful white coats are shorter and easier to maintain than a Pyr coat but they still shed and need brushing. Sugar Bear is a gentle dog who loves to be with her people. She is happy to sit when you ask her to, then will give you “the look” like she`s waiting for her next command.  Her dark liquid eyes say she is hanging on your every word!  No one else will ever look at you so lovingly.  If you think you might be the family lucky enough to  adopt our beautiful and intelligent Sugar Bear,  please click on the adoption application link below.

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. If you can't foster or adopt at this time, please consider helping our Neediest Cases.

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 so we know how they will interact with your family. Please consider adopting or fostering. Every dog who is fostered or adopted makes room for another Pyr coming out of a kill shelter. Prior to adoption, NGPR dogs are fostered for a minimum of two weeks (usually more), spayed or neutered and fully vetted. Dogs coming from out of area are certified with a USDA health certificate before going to their new homes. Our rescuers adhere to the highest placement standards and will take back any dog whose adoption does not succeed. Visit www.nationalpyr.org to learn more about us, our mission and our breed.
