Ode to Odin, Buddy and Snowflake’s Journey- Home Please join us on our Journey across the Country as we make our way Home to Avalon and our new family. And then they saw Odie’s tail wagging. A true hero.

It was October 2017 when the California wildfires raged and an 11 month old Great Pyrenees named Odin refused to leave his goats. Over 90,000 people were forced to evacuate, 8,900 buildings and 245,000 acres were destroyed. With the fires advancing at a rate of a football field every three seconds, Odin’s owners, Roland and Ariel Hendel, had precious little time to pack their car with their animal

s. They managed to load Tessa, Odin’s sister, in the car but Odie sat and refused to move. He gave a look of “I’ve got this,” and Roland knew there was no way he could get him to leave his goats. They drove away, not knowing if they would see their home, Odie or their livestock again. When they returned the next day, their house had been completely destroyed. But in the distance they could make out the little black, brown, and white dots of the goats. In disbelief, they sobbed tears of joy. What a miraculous dog. A few weeks ago, Odin passed away suddenly from what was thought to be a brain aneurysm. Avalon Woods lost their heroic and beloved guardian they had rescued as a puppy. 5 year old Tessa is grieving the loss of her bother. It’s time for her to retire from her duties as livestock guardian as she has always preferred watching over her family and will be happy doing just that. Roland and Ariel only have rescue animals at Avalon Woods and that’s the way it will always be. Deciding on Buddy and Snowflake, Ariel said their personalities and their bond as a working team reminded them of how Odin and Tessa were together. In Odin’s memory, we are donating our own Buddy and Snowflake, a 4 year old bonded pair who will take over guardian duties, doing what they were born and bred to do. In order to accomplish this monumental task of transporting Buddy and Snowfake 1,800 miles from Missouri to Northern California, we really need your help. Donations are needed for travel expenses including gas and lodging for Buddy and Snowflake’s handler and one other GP Rescue of Missouri volunteer. We also have dogs that will need to be boarded at a cost of $200 per day while Buddy and Snowflake are transported and transitioned onto the farm with goats, chickens, wild horses, and one sheep. We estimate needing $3,000 for all expenses. We are so honored and blessed to be a part of Odin’s legacy. Help us keep Odin’s memory alive. Donations can be made through PayPal on our website here https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=Y5MZSVPLQXGFQ&source=url

Checks can be made payable to Great Pyrenees Rescue of Missouri. Mailing address:

We hope you can tune in to our first show of 2022.
Our adorable Monica will be here, and she invited her foster mom Kayla along too. You're just going to love this girl.
When you were enjoying your Christmas dinner, where was your dog? Were they sleeping peacefully while you were eating, or did you have to keep a watchful eye on them so your main course didn't slither away? The good news is there are ways to address it painlessly for your dogs. Roman will be here to help us out with that. We hope to see you Saturday.

Meet our new boy Pierre. He was surrendered to us at 11 weeks old due to aggression. Also, Rescues and shelters around the country are overwhelmed with an unprecedented number of dogs being surrendered. What can we do to stop the cycle? Roman will be here to try to help us figure out if there is anything we can do. This is going to be a good show.
We're taking Christmas and New Years day off. Merry Christmas from all of us at Great Pyrenees Rescue Of Missouri.

Meet Gyda. She is one of the Viking Litter puppies that came into rescue on November 20, 2021.
Born September 1st, 2021, Gyda is a true Viking, she beat parvo. Although Gyda is spoken for, her siblings will be available for adoption after Christmas.
Are you curious about fostering with our rescue?
While Gyda's foster mom Lindzy is here, we're going to ask her about what it's been like for her to foster for this rescue. She has had a pretty rough week, this could get interesting. Then we will ask her what she thinks could use improvement, from where she stands.

Do remember Bo? He's coming on to let us know how it's going in his forever home, and he wants go give us some exciting news. Roman will be here to help with our topic in question.
From farm to table,
can a guardian breed become a pet when he fails in the farm, or vice versa?
Are guardian breeds born farm workers?
We would love to hear your opinion too.

Meet Honeybee. A backyard breeder convinced Honeybee‘s owner to adopt two large dogs, but they were just more than she could handle. We think Honeybee is an Akbash/Anatolian mix. Honeybee is as sweet as she can be and her foster mom says she is a calm and laid-back girl. She loves to be with her people and give you her paw. Honeybee isn’t alone in what happened to her.
How do we prepare to adopt a breed like this? What if something happens, do you have a backup plan for your dog? We’re going to address this on the show, and make some suggestions.

Tune in this Saturday at 8pm CST to see our newest litter of 8 pups available for adoption. They are Pyrenees/Rottweiler and have the most adorable faces and unique markings!
Thank goodness for a Good Samaritan who contacted us about the litter or these pups would not be here today.
What do you do when you're out walking you're dog, and all of a sudden, here comes a dog with no leash. Roman will be here to help sort it out.

Same s*x aggression, littermate syndrome? Real or a label? Do you have two female Pyrs fighting all the time? It will sure be real to you. What about two male Pyrs? Is there hope for this? Why do some same s*x dogs live in unity? Why won't rescues place same s*x dogs together? You're not going to want to miss the show this week. Roman will be here to help address this. Have your questions ready, this is a hot topic. You can watch at any of these links too.
