Thanks For Helping the Dogs!
Our deepest thanks to everyone who donated. We are happy to say we made our $50k match before December 31 for the first time ever. We especially want to thank the two foundations whose generous support made it possible to offer holiday matching funds. If you’ve adopted from NGPR or seen our Neediest Cases posts on social media, you know we’ve been on the front lines of rescue for 15 years, working in places where other Pyr rescues don’t go.

This year we have helped dogs like Jake, Noelle, Sully and Sasha and other neediest cases. Your donation to rescue makes it possible to help them and many more dogs.
The Annual Pyr Appeal gives you the opportunity to make a tax-free donation and leave your personal holiday message when you click on the donate button below. Dedicate your donation to a person or animal you love. Or, send your check and message to National Great Pyrenees Rescue, P.O. Box#86, Nanuet, NY 10954. We thank everyone who supports rescue throughout the year and especially now at this time of giving.
National Great Pyrenees Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and has received a silver rating from GuideStar USA for non-profit transparency and accountability.
