This gorgeous lady here is our senior girl, Chloe. In her previous life, Miss Chloe has been through ups and downs, and she is looking to us to help her find a warm and loving place for retirement. This girl's pyrsonality is as exceptional as her looks – she has superb house manners and is the pyrfect companion for someone who is keen on savoring every moment of life. Although Miss Chloe does not need an enormous backyard to pass her time, she yearns for a quiet-ish place where she can hang out and watch the wildlife having fun, and a comfy spot indoors where she can dream her sweetest dreams. This senior girl welcomes all and any attention people are willing to give her, and she has yet to meet anyone she does not shower with love immediately! Chloe will do well in a relatively quiet home where she will be loved and cherished, and one where her people will take the time to enjoy life with her. This beautiful girl is truly a gem with an abundance of love to give, will you give her a loving home so she can be adored as she so deserves?

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.

This absolutely adorable puppy is Boomer and he is so sweet and happy and such a fun pup! Boomer is guaranteed to make you smile 🙂 This happy bouncy boy is everything a Pyrenees puppy should be at his age. Boomer does well with the other dogs and is very friendly with people. He was picked up wandering all alone on a busy highway in Tennessee and never reclaimed. The shelter posted him everywhere looking for an owner but nobody came for him. We are all so thankful he is safe now in rescue and ready to find a great home. He loves bouncing around the yard with the other dogs and pups and he would absolutely love a great home of his own. Boomer still has a lot to learn as he is a growing puppy but he is very smart and learns quickly. We are hoping to find a great family who will love him furever. Boomer is a gem and he will make a great addition for some lucky family. Could it be yours?

This adorable puppy is Magnolia and she is such a sweetheart! Magnolia came into rescue from a shelter in Massachusetts. She was found walking down the road, was brought to the shelter and went unclaimed so we were happy to bring her into rescue. Magnolia is so gentle and so sweet! She loves other dogs and loves to play so she would do great with another dog as a companion and to show her the ropes. Magnolia can be a bit shy at first until she gets to know you and then she will happily follow you around the yard and come running up to you for affection and love! She is respectful of the older dogs in her foster home, loves to play with the younger dogs and she is even good with cats and has been respectful of the chickens at her foster home. She is beautiful, sweet and smart and learning everything she needs to know with her foster mom and dad. Leash walking is new to Magnolia so we are working on that. She is crate trained and does well in her crate. We are not sure if she is a purebred Pyrenees whos dew claws were removed, or a mix, but we are certain she is 100% adorable 🙂 This pretty girl is ready for great home of her own with an older canine sibling and a secure fenced yard to play in.

This adorable Pyrenees Lab mix boy is Leon – a great mix of two wonderful breeds! Leon is a very sweet older boy who loves to hang out with his best dog pals Yeti and Sophia. Leon would do fine as an only dog or with other calmer, non-hyper dogs to pal around with. He has a lower energy level and is a very nice calm boy who walks well on leash. His foster mom describes him as a couch potato, just a calm, laid-back kind of guy. Leon came in from one of the worst neglect cases we have ever seen in all of our years of doing rescue and he's doing remarkably well considering all he has been through. His foster mom has done a fantastic job working with him – he's come such a long way and will come up to you for attention and pets. Leon will likely be a bit shy when transitioning to a new home until he settles in and feels comfortable and secure. So he would do best with a patient owner, as he was so neglected in his former life and was in horrible shape when he arrived to rescue. Leon is heartworm positive and we are treating him with the slow kill method and will provide meds until he tests clear. We are so thankful for the kind fosters who worked with him and the rest of the dogs in this group to get them ready for homes of their own.

Meet Nelson! This young boy has all the Pyr qualities we know and love with a bit more energy. With a little more training, Nelson will make a great family dog – he is a young, active and independent boy who loves himself a bit of mischief 🙂 He is housebroken and walks pretty well on a leash. Nelson absolutely loves to get his energy out and will make a great running or jogging companion for his humans. Once he’s adjusted to his new environment, he sits on command, loves hugs and getting pets. He’s very smart, a quick learner and would benefit from an active, female canine sibling to show him the ropes of his new home. Nelson is good with female dogs but he can be selective with other males. Nelson has never met a stranger and is very friendly greeting people out on walks. He absolutely loves car rides and enjoys adventures to new places, like going with you to stores where pups are allowed. Because Nelson has lots of energy, he will need an active family to take him on lots of walks and provide a big fenced in yard to run around and play in. Nelson loves his toys and bones and can be a little protective of them at times but we haven’t seen anything serious. He enjoys being a thief and stealing things such as blankets and boxes of Milkbones 🙂 Nelson is a Pyr-lover’s Pyr and is looking for a family that has time to spend with him and who will appreciate a good Pyr paw! We'd like to see Nelson placed with another young to adult active female dog. This loveable, handsome, goofball will make the Pyrfect addition to an active home with a sense of humor and time to commit to helping him reach his full potential!

This adorable young Pyrenees/Lab girl is Morgan and she is such a sweetheart! Morgan is a happy girl, she is great with everyone she meets and wants to be your new best friend! She does great with other dogs and loves playing in the play yard and she seems to walk nicely on leash. Morgan was urgent at a very overcrowded Georgia shelter and made it out on her last day, just in the nick of time. A very kind volunteer from the vets office we work with was there to pick up another urgent dog and couldn’t leave this adorable pup behind to be killed, so she reached out to us for rescue help. We are all so happy she is safe now in rescue and can’t wait to see her get a great home of her own. She has the most gorgeous brown eyes and dark eyeliner, and she is as sweet as can be. Morgan would love to find a great family of her own. She is so smart and a quick learner. She did great having a bath and she loves to eat her food laying down. She is so happy and likes to give you her paw. Morgan did great meeting all of the other dogs at the shelter, big and small. We just love this gentle girl and so will you. She is such a happy sweet girl, we are all so thankful she is safe now in rescue and ready to find a great home of her own. Could it be yours?

This absolutely gorgeous fluffy Pyrenees girl is Simone and she is a doll! Simone is such a sweetheart, she's friendly and great with everyone she meets. Simone is a sweet submissive girl who loves other dogs. She adores playing with everyone and loves to run around the play yard. She is such a sweet and happy gal! Simone came to rescue in Georgia when she went unclaimed at a very crowded shelter that had several Pyrenees who’s time ran out. Thankfully we got Simone and the other dogs safe to rescue just in time. Simone walks so nicely on leash – she is housetrained and so well-behaved indoors. This lovely girl would absolutely love a great home and family of her own. She is such a great companion and would do well with other dogs as she loves to play. Her foster mom adores her and says she is a fabulous dog! Simone will make an amazing companion for some lucky family. Simone is heartworm positive but doing well on the slow kill treatment. We will provide the monthly meds she needs to continue her treatment, and she should be free and clear in a few months time. We are all so happy Simone is safe now in rescue and cannot wait to see her find her furever family. Could it be yours?
