Montana Dog Rescue has rescued, fostered, nurtured over 200 Livestock Guardians and herding dogs. Our rescue is located on 22 mountain acres between Livingston and Bozeman Montana, Montana Dog Rescue provides a safe haven where Great Pyrenees, Akbash, Maremmas and other Livestock Guardian dogs are provided safety, love, care and socialization. Basic training and medical attention is provided to
incoming rescues and eventually dogs are ready for adoption into a loving home or ranch. Montana Dog Rescue often is considered a Livestock Guardian Rescue because so many Great Pyrenees or Great Pyrenees crosses are surrendered either because the shelter or rescue was rushing them through the system without a true personality and skills assessment or simply poor judgment or background of adopters. A large issue that sets Montana Dog Rescue apart has the ability to allow a Livestock Guardian to be introduced to livestock or to be in proximity to other guardians and livestock. Open spacious pastures with green grass to run and large shelters allow guardians to decompress and to have a peaceful "re-introduction" to what to means to be an LGD (Livestock Guardian Dog). We set out to do things differently after witnessing the inflow and outflow of many shelters and rescues right here in Montana. Also because we witnesses horrible concrete/chain link enclosures and prison like shelters where LGD's are not emotionally equipped to be. Such confines causes emotional damage instead of a healing effect. Unsuspecting adopters become focused on the magnificent beauty of the LGD instead of being educated on the needs of such a "special purpose" animal. Finding the right fit may take weeks, months or in some cases years, by Montana Dog Rescue to date has only had a less than 1% return on placement. There are good and responsible breeders and we ourselves support a strict method of breeding and qualifying proper farms, ranches and families for such incredible dogs.
