Yeti is Yuri's brother who came first to our rescue and was recently adopted. He is such a good looking, sweet guy who just loves people, gets a little excited when he meets them but calms down in a few minutes. He was so well behaved at the groomers even around other dogs. It looks like he likes other dogs as well - don't know about cats. Yeti is a little bit of a jumper just like his sister so we and his new family needs to work on. Yeti needs some leash training, doesn't pull but walks into YOU at times. All in all a very sweet dog!! A BIG 6 FOOT FENCED YARD/PROPERTY FOR HIM IS A MUST!!! NO APARTMENTS, TOWNHOMES, DUPLEXES OR UNDERGROUND FENCING!!!!
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.
