Mid-South Great Pyrenees Rescue is dedicated to the assistance of Great Pyrenees and Pyr-Mix dogs that find themselves in need of a home through no fault of their own. We have members in Tennessee and Kentucky, and we work in combination with other Rescue groups throughout the Nation to find appropriate, loving homes for our rescued dogs and make a lifelong commitment to each and every one.

Adopting a Great Pyrenees from Mid South Great Pyrenees Rescue

Our goal is to place each of our rescued Great Pyrenees or Pyr Mix dogs into a home where it can live out it's life as a valued member of the family. We have placed dogs that are now beloved pets, working dogs on farms, Therapy Dogs , Certified Service dogs, dogs that go everywhere with their new owners, and dogs that are dedicated couch potatoes. These rescue dogs are elegant and beautiful souls that just needed a little help to find their right spot in the world.

Help us buy time! We are in URGENT NEED for donations to provide emergency boarding and vet care for Great Pyrenees Dogs and Puppies during this peak season.

Sometimes just a few extra days can mean the difference between life and death for a dog on "death row" at animal shelters. We're often asked to rescue gentle, well-mannered, healthy dogs from animal control shelters and emergency situations. Our ability to help these animals is limited to the availability of foster homes. If you love animals, please consider opening your heart and home to one that might otherwise die. Fostering an animal is an incredibly rewarding experience.

Adopting your new friend

All dog or puppy adoptions start with the written adoption application that helps us know your family a little better so we can match you with the best dog or puppy available through our Rescue. Your vet reference is checked , an Adoption Counselor will conduct a phone interview, and a homevisit will be set up as a part of the approval process. Most out-of-state adoptions are permitted and all applicants are screened equally regardless of location. Our requested adoption fee donation is $350.00 . Your donation is immediately available to help us help the next dog in need, including paying for pull fees from shelters, spay/neuters, all shots including bordatella, deworming, heartworm screening, heartworm and flea preventative, grooming, emergency boarding and any other costs which may be incurred. We can help arrange transport in some areas with professional transporters who charge a fee, but Mid-South Great Pyrenees Rescue does not keep this fee and it is not part of the adoption fee. A fully executed Adoption Contract is required before any adoption is finalized.
The new owner must agree to always keep this dog within a fenced yard (not on a chain) -OR- supervised on a leash, to never leave this dog outside when nobody is home, to never allow the dog to be tied to a doghouse or to a chain, nor left unsupervised in a yard for extremely long periods thus resulting in the dogs possible digging, climbing out, or barking endlessly. Simply said, we want you to keep your new furry friend happy, healthy,and safe.

Please do your breed research when considering adopting a Great Pyrenees. While they are undoubtedly spectacular to look at, they are not a suitable breed for everyone. They are an ancient breed that has not changed in centuries. They DO bark, they DO drool, they DO like to check out what's happening on the other side of the neighborhood, and they DO need to be fenced in appropriately or on a leash when outdoors. They DO usually weigh 100+ lbs. and they DO have TONS of hair that gets everywhere! To learn more about if a Great Pyrenees is right for your family please go to:

The majority of Great Pyrenees listed on this site are available for adoption as companion animals, not LGD's or guard dogs, and require an indoor, loving home. While we do realize the Pyrenees is a working breed, we have very few LGD foster homes available to test a dog for a working placement, and all of our adoptable dogs have proven to be well suited for a family pet situation.

Adopting a Great Pyrenees from Mid South Great Pyrenees Rescue

Our adoption fee is $325.00 to help cover the vetting costs already paid to get the rescue Pyr ready for adoption. This includes pull fees, vet exams, spay/neuter, all shots including bordatella, deworming, heartworm screening, heartworm and flea preventative, grooming and any other costs which may be incurred. We can help arrange transport in some areas with professional transporters who charge a fee, but Mid-South Great Pyrenees Rescue does not keep this fee and it is not part of the adoption fee. The adoption process includes a written application, vet and personal references, phone interview, and homevisit.
