About

Meet GYPSY

Gypsy came to us with her sister Duchess. She is very social, friendly and playful. She also loves children, is fine with cats and wrestles with other dogs. Gypsy believes she should be a lap dog, she likes to be petted, also likes car rides with or without her sister Duchess and sleeping on furniture. She does like to bark at coyotes, birds of prey etc. Of course she likes food and chew bones.  She and her sister were surrendered to us, they are very sweet with each other and need to be  adopted together - double the love and fun!! Very calm and easy going. BOTH ARE SO PATIENTLY WAITING TO FIND A FUR-EVER HOME! A BIG 6 FOOT FENCED YARD/PROPERTY FOR HER TO RUN AROUND AND PATROL IS A MUST! NO APPARTEMENTS/TOWNHOMES OR UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC FENCING PLEASE!!

Adoption Process
Adoption Requirements Once a Pyrenees has been released by it's former owner, rescued from a shelter, or been found as a stray, PYRescue accepts all responsibility for their medical care, feeding, grooming, training, and ultimate placement in a new home. All prospective new guardians complete an adoption application and enter into a legally binding contract that specifies the care required for a Pyrenees and provides for reclamation of the Pyrenees by PYRescue if PYRescue ever has reason to feel that the care of the Pyrenees does not meet the PYRescue standard. Under no circumstances is an intact Pyrenees ever released to a new Guardian. All adoptions are followed up on a periodic basis to assure that PYRescue standards are met. All potential new guardians must meet with PYRescue personnel and the Pyrenees considered for adoption. Wherever possible the adoptive Pyrenees and other family dogs are also introduced in neutral territory. In the final analysis, the adoptive Pyrenees must be willing to go with the prospective new guardian. If the Pyrenees hesitates or refuses to go the whole adoption is off (we have had several instances of this and if the Pyr does not want to go we find another acceptable home for that Pyr). In general, many of the rescued Pyrenees have been family pets before coming to PYRescue for adoption. If at all possible, they are placed in a pet-oriented family home. However, the ever growing need to find homes has caused PYRescue to place Pyrs also in ranch/farm oriented environments, especially as related to small llama and sheep herds. This approach appears to be working well in situations where the new owners are prepared to be both patient and compassionate towards the Pyr in relation to his/her new environment. PYRescue also develops and publishes various educational documents related to the guardianship and care of the Great Pyrenees.
