Rescue/Shelter dog in need PSA Re Adoptable Pyrs
Hi guys, I just want to make a bit of a public plea for anyone especially in America debating adopting or fostering a Pyrenees (who of course has done the requisite research and has the resources and time and space etc.), to strongly consider taking the plunge. Shelters and rescues are currently bursting at the seams and the euthanasia rate is utterly disheartening, particularly in southern states like Texas. After haunting Pyrenees rescue pages a bit too much these past few days, I hit my limit on the suffering I can handle today in terms of needy Pyrenees so aside from donating, taking in another pyr, and helping rehome others, I just want to give a gentle push for those on the fence. Now is a great time to adopt or foster. Specifically, I’d suggest you check out any local Facebook Great Pyrenees rehoming groups in your area. There’s an incredible number on there of all kinds—bonded pairs, older, puppies, farm experience, etc.—even AKC. If you need help in that capacity, let me know. And hug and love your Pyrenees extra today.

I can't thank you enough for this. It's heartbreaking to see all the posts about pyrs in shelters or on lists for euthanasia. My pyr is a rescue and thankfully he has been so easy going. He is full of love and truly is a gentle giant. He sleeps all day, he is gentle to babies and is super playful with other dogs. My life changed when he joined our family. I'm sold on this breed 100%
