Pyr Rescue, Please Help Me With My Dog

Great Pyrenees Mountain Dog

You have a Great Pyrenees Mountain Dog that you can no longer keep. Great Pyr Rescue can help. We are non-judgmental. We understand the turns that life can take. We also know just how demanding a Great Pyr can be.

We know that owners have to give up their dogs for a variety of reasons. Great Pyr Rescue does not pry into the rescue dog’s history except to determine if there are specific problems with temperament, as we need to have this information to pass on to potential adoptive families.

Some dogs are too aggressive or do not get along with other dogs, or young children, or cats. Sometimes this is just a case of no training, but sometimes the pattern is so well established that it will be difficult to overcome. So placement must be very specific.

The club’s Great Pyrenees Rescue section is non judgmental as to why an owner must give up the dog as this could be viewed as a deterrent and result in a person deciding not to turn over the dog and just abandoning it instead. This is much worse on the dog, so we try to avoid it at all costs.

If you are serious about surrendering your Great Pyr, please be assured... we understand. Sometimes lifestyles change so that the dog can no longer be cared for properly. We understand.

We hear many stories as to why a dog must be turned over. Believe it or not a very common reason Great Pyrs become rescues is that the dog just got so BIG. If you ask owners, they will admit that they saw Mom and Dad at the kennels and they were big, that they saw other Great Pyrs and they were big, but they just fell in love with the puppy. And they did not realize that "their dog" would get to be a big dog. We know it’s hard to understand, but sometimes love is blind!

And Great Pyrs shed... and they bark. We know. Great Pyrs become rescues for a number of reasons. Our interest is the well being of these dogs, so we are here to help you.

Our process is simple. First we need you to complete the Surrender Form below. Then a member of our Pyr Rescue team will contact you directly.

So let's get started by completing our Great Pyrenees Surrender Information Form.

Please note... Due to our very limited resources, we are able to provide surrender services only to pure breed Pyrs. We have no capacity to deal with the uncertainties associated with mix breeds so are sorry that we are unable to accept Pyr Mixes into our rescue facility.
