About

Meet MILAN

Milan is currently being fostered in Espanola, NM but transport is available for serious adoption considerations From her foster: Milan came to us with her litter of 8 puppies. They’ve all found rescues and now she is looking for her own soft spot to land! She is as special as she is beautiful. This gal definitely has the livestock guardian breed in her. A 6 ft fence can't contain her, but thankfully she seems to like her temporary living space/people and stays put despite her jumping talents. Milan puts a lot of trust in her person once she bonds with them. She is fine having other dogs around, but mostly enjoys doing her own thing. She sleeps in the house with her foster and knows how to use a dog door — seems to be house trained. She's a smart girl with an independent personality, and she’ll thrive in an environment that nurtures her instincts. She is great with people, kids and other dogs.  She has a Pyrenees temperament- lazy/chill not hyper or excessively barky.  Foster family does dog boarding so Milan has been around different dogs, plays with some and ignores others. Milan will need TALL above ground fencing as she can jump, something that is not climbable, may even need some hot wire. NO UNDERGROUND FENCING!! NO APARTMENTS, CONDOS 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.
