Mario Great Pyrenees Richmond, VA

I know, I know...not all of my photos are the best. That's because I, Mario, am not comfortable yet with a cell phone camera pointing at me. No, I am not in the witness protection program, it's just that I haven't seen one before. But I'm getting better!

I'm a year old (we think) and full of male Pyr puppy energy. My volunteer friends at AGPR do not appreciate my displays of love and affection (jumping up to give big ol' hugs), so we are working on those manners. For that reason, I'm not sure little kids will find me endearing unless they love to be knocked on their behinds. A little secret, I behave much better when harnessed when I go on my walks.

One thing for sure, I'm a very handsome boy and will turn heads when people pass by. While I came from "less than desirable conditions" in the state to the north of us, I've got a nice personality for a teenage male Pyr.

Do you have a decent sized backyard? One where I can run around and protect? If so, I'm hoping you'll submit an application and come meet me.

All Great Pyrenees require a fenced-in yard (at least four foot high). If you have questions about the breed or our adoption policies and procedures, please go to our website at www.agprescue.org. There's plenty of good information about the breed on our website - Pyrs aren't a breed for everyone!

Our adoption application is online: http://agprescue.org/adoption-application/agpr-application-donations/ Please note that we are a small regional rescue organization. We will consider adopting to families within a four to five hour drive to Richmond, VA
