Adoption process

Potential adopters are requested to complete an Adoption Application. After a family/individual has submitted an Application to Great Pyrenees Rescue and a preliminary screening process has occurred, arrangements will be made for a Rescue volunteer to visit the potential adoptive home to ensure that the dog is going to a permanent, loving home where all members of the family want a dog of this particular breed, and are willing to provide a suitable environment. Further, we could not possibly suggest potential adoption matches without first knowing your family and situation. After all, you can't share your home with just any person, can you? The relationship between a dog and his owner is just as personal in its own way. The right dog may be available immediately, or it may take several weeks until the “pyrfect” match is made. An improper placement, or one in which all the details aren't known, can end tragically - usually for the dog. When you take ownership of your rescue dog, you will be required to agree to a legally binding Adoption Contract detailing the level of care that is required for all Great Pyrenees Rescue dogs. The Adoption Contract includes the requirement that if, for any reason, you are ever unable to keep the Rescue dog you are adopting, the Rescue dog must be returned to our care. The Contract also requires adopters to enroll in obedience instruction within 30 days of adoption. All responsible dog people, regardless of what breed they 'fancy,' will tell you that basic obedience training is crucial for developing a happy relationship with your pet. Obedience training helps the dog bond with the new family and increases communication between the two, so that there are fewer misunderstandings. We provide follow-up counseling to make sure the dog settles into the pack (family) well and we remain friends with our adopters for years to come.
