About

Meet RUBY

Ruby was transferred to Pyrescue from the Humane Society in Hays, KS  Ruby had been at the shelter for quite a while with not much interest  Ruby is said to be shy at first but once she trusts you she is a big love bug.  She likes to sit with her family and snooze the day away! In her previous home she was said to escape her kennel and go exploring, therefore, Ruby's yard will need very secure fencing.  Ruby is NOT good with cats.  She can be a bit nervous around men, her future adopters will need to be patient to gain her trust.  Potential adopters may do best to schedule a few meet and greets so she can get to know you and feel more comfortable and to facilitate the transition to her new home. Ruby has had some basic training and knows "sit" and "stay". Ruby is known to be an escape artist, therefore, will need TALL above ground fencing, preferably 6 foot. She can climb fences as well! Fence may need to include hot wire. 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.
