Meet RUBY

. Hi, my name is Ruby and to be very honest I’m a beautiful but very shy girl. When you first meet me I appear to be untrusting but with patience and love I can overcome it. Who doesn’t want to have a home where they can feel safe and loved??   I was transferred to Pyrescue in Peyton from the Humane Society in Kansas where I arrived pregnant and gave birth to 7 beautiful babies who were all adopted. PYRescue found out fast that I don’t like to be locked up, they leave the kennel door open for me so I can go in/out whenever I want to. I like to spend most of the time outside with my doggy friend, he makes me feel more secure and confident. The rescue believes that I would do best in a home with acreage because I love to be outside but I will need very secure fencing since I am also an escape artist. Having a doggy door so I can come inside when I am ready would be great as well as another doggy buddy to build up my confidence.     Unfortunately I do not like cats! No small children either because they will scare me. I was never aggressive but definitely fearful around new people, especially men. I know I am asking for a lot but remember I had a very hard life. I am really trying hard to trust people again but need some time, patience & treats -  I love treats. When I begin to trust I can be very, very sweet and will gently paw you for more affection and, of course, treats.   Will you be the family to give a special girl like me a forever home? Maybe we can have a few “meet & greet” sessions so we can get to know each other and feel more comfortable, also to facilitate the transition to my new home.   Please come and meet me.   NO UNDERGROUND FENCING! NO CONDOS, APARTMENTS OR TOWNHOMES

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.
