About Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue

Our Purpose

Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue is a 501c3 organization with a network of volunteers across the United States. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome unwanted, displaced, and neglected Great Pyrenees along with other Livestock Guardian dogs in need throughout Texas and the Pacific Northwest. By placing them in caring and nurturing foster homes we are able to successfully adopt them to loving homes throughout the Western United States. Our mission is to engage community members to promote better treatment of these dogs and reduce euthanasia numbers through adoptions, education, and other resources. 

Who We Are

Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue is a partner with National Great Pyrenees Rescue (www.nationalpyr.org) and we strive to collaborate with other community members.  Our vision is to be at the forefront of generating awareness concerning the mistreatment and over-population of Livestock Guardian Breeds, specifically in Texas. Our rescue focuses on finding forever homes for the Pyrs and other livestock guardian dogs in Texas and in the Pacific Northwestern states, by placing them with fosters in Texas, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, and adopting them to loving families.

We partner with multiple transport companies to safely get our Pyrs to their destinations.  We also welcome and support other transport arrangements, such as air travel, if the adopters prefer.
