Great Pyrenees Rescue of Central Illinois

12/10/2024

Our journey as a formal 501(c)(3) rescue is coming to an end as of 12/31/2024. I would like to share some information about the changes in our operation and where we are on this.
-We have closed intake on new rescues but will always be available for our adopters if they need help and our adoptees should they need to return.
-We have three dogs (Chevy, Winky and Wonky) we still need adopters for, hopefully by the end of the year. The sanctuary dogs will stay with us.
-We will never be able to thank our donors/adopters/fosters/volunteers over the many years enough, and hope the support we were given is now given to other Great Pyrenees rescues. That is what we hope to do as well as we move forward.
-We will be updating records and contacting adopters we haven't heard from for a while to be sure they are aware that we are still committed to the dogs we have placed. If you are an adopter or know one of our adopters we haven't heard from please send us an update.

Thank you to everyone who loves these special dogs and follow our page. Please share Chevy, Winky and Wonky. They deserve a family for Christmas.

Cindy Barch, GPRCI

These two cuties were never reclaimed. We named them Winky and Wonky. Both shy but very sweet. They have been vetted are recovering from their spay surgeries as well as an eye surgery for Winky. Wonky is ready for an adoptive or foster home. Winky needs a little more time to heal. Single picture is Wonky.

Chief has been ADOPTED!!! This handsome hunk is Chief. Chief is an almost three year old (B.D. 11/26/2021)Great Pyrenees/Great Dane mix. GPRCI assisted his previous family in getting their dogs spayed and neutered as well as caught up on vet care but poor Chief tested positive for heartworms. He was surrendered to GPRCI and came to Bloomington for treatment. He has finished his treatment and will be groomed, neutered and ready for placement by approximately the second week of October. Chief doesn't know a stranger, walks wonderfully on leash (will react to squirrels and rabbits but is very controllable)) and rides great in the car. He is good with kids and reportedly is okay with cats and housebroken. He has been fine around goats in the past but has always been a pet as opposed to a working dog and will be placed as a family companion. Chief is a really nice boy and with a little fine tuning will be a fabulous boy. If interested in adopting Chief, please see our adoption information and application at gprci.com
A securely fenced yard will be required.

Sorry to say Chevy is back with us at the rescue. All of us including her adopters are disappointed and sad this didn't work out but rescue and placement is not an exact science. Chevy is a wonderful, good girl. So so smart and eager to please. Please share her beautiful smile and help us find her forever home.
