Meet Maggie Mae in NJ - Playful, Sweet & Loving

Check Out My Video Album Below! *** Meet Maggie Mae, affectionately known as Mags - a sweet young Pyr who was found as a stray in a ditch in Alabama. When Mags first arrived, she was terrified, but she's come a long way with her social skills. She's still a bit shy at first, but she warms up quickly, and once she does, she loves attention and soaks up all the love you can give her. This girl is a puppy through and through - playful, a little stubborn, and always up for a game of chase or a romp with her toys. She loves other dogs and gets along great with them, though she'll bark if a playmate won't engage or if another dog intimidates her - just her way of finding her voice, which she's still working on! She's an average barker overall. Mags is housebroken, and learning to walk nicely on a leash. She's working on her obedience training and house manners, and with her medium-high activity level, she'd do best in an active, loving home that can keep up with her energy and playful spirit. She’d love a yard with a 4-foot fence where she and her future canine brother can run and play together! She doesn’t dig, and is happy to be indoors or outdoors, though she does appreciate the comfort of the A/C on a warm day. Being so young, Mags would likely do well with cats and kids, though this hasn't been confirmed yet. As for people, she loves them - she just needs a little time to warm up before she shows you her affectionate side. And when it comes to treats, this girl isn't picky in the slightest - she likes food of any kind! All in all, Maggie Mae is a loving, playful pup who's overcome a rough start and is ready to find a family who will give her the active, attentive home she deserves.

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. We have many Pyrs and Pyr mixes who need homes.
