About Nelly

Nelly is a Great Pyrenees puppy looking for a loving family home. GPRS works carefully to match each dog with the right forever family and provides lifelong support and advice after adoption.

Ideal Home

  • Puppies are placed with a youthful, playful adult resident dog of similar size weighing at least 50 pounds.
  • Puppies must live indoors as family pets, not as livestock guardians.
  • Someone must be home at least part of the day; homes where the puppy would be alone for 6–8 hours at a time should not apply.
  • Preference is given to applicants with Great Pyrenees experience.
  • A secure, visible fence and a socialization plan are required.
  • Resident pets must be current on vaccines and heartworm/flea prevention and be altered.

Ongoing Health

The $450 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, distemper/parvo vaccines, flea preventative, deworming, and a health certificate for travel.

Training & Support

GPRS provides lifelong support and advice for adopters and carefully works with fosters and applicants to find the right match.

Application Details

  • Adoption is not first come, first served.
  • Begin by contacting the provider through Wags to start the adoption application process.

Transportation

Weekly transport is available to the area, and adopters may be able to have their dog home that week or the following week. Transport costs are paid by adopters outside the Texas area and depend on the location and company used. Stated regional fees are $200 for the Northeast, $225–$350 for the Northwest and Midwest, and $250–$350 for the Southeast.
