Alain's Story

Meet Alain, a brave and gentle soul who is sure to win your heart! Five months old, affectionate, and a playful pup is full of life and love, always up for an adventure yet content to snuggle up on the couch. At just 5 months old as of January 1, 2026, Alain has a world of potential and is eager to explore it with a family of his own. He was rescued, along with his three siblings, just before New Year's Eve and is now ready for a fresh start. He has been vetted, neutered and up to date on all his shots. Alain is more timid, but what a love! He is the one who did not like being caught, but since that day, he is my best friend! At my side, plopping into a sit looking me straight in the eye for pets and love. He also gets along great with resident dogs. It takes him a minute to trust new people. Alain wants to be with his people! He will climb in search of a way out of a fence. He climbs to get to the highest vantage point. He has figured out how to get on top of the dog house to watch everything I am doing. If the pole barn kennel didn't have a roof, I am sure he would be at my back door 😅.

Pyrenees Rescue of Western NC's Adoption Policy

Why A Rescue? The very characteristics that make this wonderful breed so desirable to many, can make them vulnerable to neglect or eventual surrender in the homes of those who are unprepared for the responsibilities with raising a dog with specific needs to accommodate their size, need for space, secure boundaries, and maintenance of the beautiful heavy coat. Sometimes, the family circumstances change, relocations happen, and a new home must be found. Often, the story is more tragic. Backyard breeders abound, and puppy mill rescues are brought here to find forever homes. Because the ultimate goal is to find families for the rescues, they are handled, loved, and groomed daily, socialized with the rescue volunteers and each other, so that they will be well-tempered. Occasionally, due to behavior problems related to previous abuse or fear, or advanced age or special health needs, a dog will be considered un-adoptable. Those dogs are guaranteed a home here at the rescue. We are listed with Guidestar. https://www.guidestar.org/profile/47-4410637
