Great Pyrenees listed for adoption

All adoptable pets How this list works

Listings from 348 North Carolina shelters and rescues, checked October 17, 2026. Each pet links to its shelter, and the full list is on shelters and rescues. Pets are adopted every day, so a pet shown here may already have found a home.

What the list shows today

The 59 Great Pyrenees on the list today are spread across 19 counties; the most are listed in Wake County (16), Davidson County (13) and Mecklenburg County (4). About 86% are listed by rescues and 14% by public and nonprofit shelters, and about 81% live in foster homes rather than at a shelter, so a visit may need an appointment. Of the 31 with an age listed, the typical (median) age is 11 months.

From the shelter and rescue listings NC Pet Project read on October 17, 2026. Each shelter sets its own labels, ages and foster status.

About Great Pyrenees

Great Pyrenees are calm giants, devoted to their family and especially the children in it, and reserved with strangers. Their thick coat needs surprisingly little upkeep, just a weekly brushing.

Breed labels come from each shelter. They are a staff member's best guess from a pet's looks, not a DNA test, so a pet listed here may be a different mix, and a pet of this breed may be listed under another label.

Before you adopt, read our guides to adopting versus buying a dog in NC and when to spay or neuter a dog by size.
