Bear Creek Equine Rescue & Sanctuary is a private, stand alone safe haven/sanctuary for unwanted equines, along with several other species. We do not, have never, nor will never euthanize for space. We accept placement of all species by private treaty only from local veterinarians' referrals, law enforcement, court seizures, and donation via owner's bequeath or written request. We have 10 different breeds here of feral & domestic horses, mules, ponies and burros from all over the US & Canada, as well as dogs, cats, llamas, cows, chickens, potbelly pigs, sheep, goats, ducks & geese, all of them rescues. We are a medical rescue and can accept animals with treatable chronic health problems or injuries. Our goal is to provide these abandoned, abused, and neglected animals with lifetime quality care, recovery, rehabilitation, and a future safe from ending up at the slaughter plant for the remainder of their natural days. When their time with us comes to an end, all animals here are given a decent, respectful burial on the farm. It's the right thing to do. The animals here are considered unadoptable due to age, health, or high risk safety issues resulting from earlier abuse. We do however, network with other reputable rescues nationwide, transferring and accepting transfers when the change is in the best interest of the animal due to climate, or special treatment available at particular veterinary hospital facilities in another part of the country.
Bear Creek Rescue is also the MO foster/rep for the NGPR - National Great Pyrenees Rescue. www.nationalpyr.org
National Great Pyrenees Rescue is a rescue organization established in 2006 to facilitate the placement of Great Pyrenees dogs across the country. Our mission is to help all deserving dogs of Great Pyrenees origin find good homes—wherever they are. We do not distinguish between dogs that come from pet stores, puppy mills or breeders, and we do not discriminate against Pyr mixes. NGPR's sole purpose is to support Great Pyrenees rescue efforts across the county, so together we can all "Save More Pyrs". Due to our location & the condition most of these dogs are found in, no Pyr or Pyr mix from this rescue will be placed in a home without above ground fenced yard for the dog's safety.. Not being contained is what lands 98% of the ones that survive, in rescue. They have a genetic tendency to wander, roam & patrol. They end up hit by cars on the road, lost many miles from home, they end up in kill shelters & shot by cattle farmers. One cannot compare a dog they raised that happened by luck, to stay around. These rescue dogs are seasoned runners & they do adapt well to containment, in fact, they are thankful for it. We work very hard & spend above & beyond what their adoption fees bring in, to restore them to sound mind & body. We cannot place them in the same situation that landed them in trouble in the first place.
