The Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue

The Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue is at the forefront of generating awareness concerning the mistreatment and over-population of Livestock Guardian Breeds.

Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue is a 501c3 organization with a network of volunteers across the United States. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome unwanted, displaced, and neglected Great Pyrenees along with other Livestock Guardian dogs that are abandoned in high kill shelters throughout Texas. By placing them in caring and nurturing foster homes we are able to successfully adopt them to loving homes th

roughout the Western United states. Our mission is to engage community members to promote better treatment of these dogs and reduce euthanasia numbers through adoptions, education, and other resources. https://linktr.ee/gppr

Rescue is definitely not a one size fits all process. What does that mean? At GPPR, that means each dog, just like every person, is different. They come with their own set of unique needs, from their own prior and often traumatic experiences. 
This is Miles. You may remember him as the trampoline jumping dog from previous posts. He has been with a long-term foster in Texas for the last 2 years, waiting for his forever family.
Recently, Miles was matched by one of our adoption counselors with an adopter in the PNW. Just one problem: Miles doesn't like the car🚗! That makes small trips challenging, let alone traveling hundreds of miles on a cross-country🚐 journey!
Our solution has been putting Miles with a trainer to work on his anxiety and obedience. It doesn't do Miles or a future adopter any good if the problem isn't addressed, causing him to be returned. So we're facing his challenges before placing him. Like we said each dog is different, and we try to do right by the pups who have been entrusted to our care🙂.

Remember we can only take in dogs if we have fosters. Reach out to us today or fill out a foster application at www.greatpyrsandpaws.org. Fosters are always needed in Texas, Oregon and Washington. Thank you for help!

A community post for our friends who reached out to us about a 4 year old Pyr-mix, Charlie. Charlie is struggling in the noisy and overstimulating environment at the rescue. He has some resource guarding in the kennel but is very sweet outside of there. He is not a fan of cats🐈, but likes other dogs. He needs a calm household, without small children. If you're interested in adopting this sweet boy or want more information, please reach out directly to . Thanks for your help! Their phone number is (509) 922-6197 or email them [email protected].

Meet Atlas🐾! This bouncy trouncy flouncy pouncy 18 month old boy is still brimming with puppy energy! The best home for Atlas will have a large, confident younger dog who who can play hard and give as good as he/she gets. Atlas also wants a teen-to-adult "people pack" to hang with and from whom he can demand the required number of back scritches and belly rubs needed to support his best life. He is a fan of hanging out with his peeps (and searching for any dropped popcorn🍿) during Netflix binge watching sessions.
Atlas had a rough start and still needs significant leash skills development. He also can have a reactive / fear response to unknown people and situations that can look like aggression. It will be important for potential adopters to see this behavior in his foster🩵 home before committing.
Atlas will bounce after smaller animals if they run. There are two chill kitties🐈🐈‍⬛️ in his doggy foster home🏡 who can manage his energy and one which can not, so high energy, dog saavy cats only, if any.

He is an excavation expert--if you need a culvert put in or drainage added around your house--he's your guy! Atlas also encourages good household habits--no more leaving dishes for "later" in the sink or food out on the buffet with this fellow around.
Atlas can not abide a crate, but he sleeps😴 through the night🌙 and stays on his own bed🛌 in the bedroom he currently shares with his foster moms and pyr sister. Should you need supervision as you move throughout your day, this guy will happily watch👀 every step you make--mostly to be sure he's not missing any cheese🧀 tax--but also so he knows you're safe in the shower🚿!

Atlas is currently being fostered in Oregon and can be adopted within Oregon/Washington. To fill out an application, head to www.greatpyrsandpaws.org!

🌸 Poppy 🌸is a delightful 4-year-old Great Pyrenees and Maremma Sheepdog mix with a heart full of love. This gentle and affectionate girl is looking for a forever home where she can thrive. While she’s happy to be an only dog, Poppy would also love a playmate to join her for fun yard adventures. However, she’s not fond of cats, so she’d do best in a home without them.
🌸🌸🌸🌸
With a medium energy level, Poppy enjoys her playtime, but once she’s had her fill, she’s just as content to curl up and nap. She’s both house and crate trained, making her an easy companion at home. Poppy loves her daily walks, and she’s great on a leash, always excited for the chance to explore.
🌸🌸🌸🌸
Above all, Poppy is a total people pleaser who absolutely adores attention. She’s always eager for love and affection, and she’ll happily return that affection with her sweet, loyal nature. Poppy’s loving personality makes her an ideal companion for anyone looking for a devoted and affectionate friend.
🌸🌸🌸🌸
Currently in Texas, Poppy is ready for her next adventure and can join the next NW transport to her forever home !

Friends, we pulled Odin from ! He is with a temporary foster but needs a new place to decompress in soon.This 1 year old was found in South Oregon tied to a pole😢.
Odin is a big, playful & bouncy boy who is good with other dogs🐕 and people. He walks well on a leash and clearly thinks he’s a “lap dog.” 😂 We think he may be an Anatolian-mix. Regardless, he’s the SWEETEST big boy who deserves a loving family of his own. If you can foster, please fill out an adoption/foster application at www.greatpyrsandpaws.org.
