Great Pyrenees and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in Beacon, New York

Macaroni — The fluffy, thoughtful, people‑loving pup with a mind of his own! Macaroni is a Pyr and Border Collie mix, and one of six puppies in our “Pasta Litter,” raised with his mom and other dogs in his foster home. He’s the smallest boy and the only pup blessed with long, fluffy fur — a soft white coat with a touch of cream on his face that makes him instantly endearing. True to his Pyr side, Macaroni has a calm, quiet nature and loves finding little hideaway spots to curl up for a nap. He enjoys greeting people, soaking up affection, and happily settling in for cuddles. When playtime starts, he’s all in — romping, wrestling, playing keep‑away — and then he’s ready to stretch out and observe the world around him. With Border Collie smarts and a Pyr’s natural curiosity, Macaroni will absolutely find an escape route if one exists — and once he’s out, he’ll simply sit there taking it all in, looking back at you like, “What are you doing in there?!” Because of this, he will require a 5-foot secure fenced yard and a family who understands the traits of both breeds. He’s a sweet, thoughtful puppy who will thrive with people who appreciate a gentle soul with a clever mind and a touch of wanderlust. If you understand the charm of a Great Pyrenees and the brilliance of a Border Collie, Macaroni is waiting for you put in an application to learn more about him!

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 (www.nationalpyr.org/know-the-breed) 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.
