About

Meet POPPY

Poppy is one of 4 female puppies that were surrendered to PYRescue. The momma dog and 2 adult males were found along a CO highway. The sheriff picked them up and brought them to a former rescuer. The female dog was pregnant when picked up. The rescuer found homes for all but 4 of the puppies, rescuer still has the adults if anyone might be interested. We believe they are a mix of Pyrenees and Anatolian. Momma looks like an Anatolian. These puppies are very sweet and just crave attention. One has been adopted already and another one is pending.  Poppy will grow up to be a big, beautiful girl! Please consider adopting!   Poppy’s adoption fee is $350 plus an additional $150 refundable spay/neuter deposit.    Poppy will need above ground secure fencing, preferably 6 foot. NO UNDERGROUND FENCING, NO EXCEPTIONS!   NO APARTMENTS, CONDOS OR DUPLEXES  

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.
