Great Pyrenees Rescue Southeast's Adoption Policy
At Great Pyrenees Rescue Southeast, we believe every Great Pyrenees deserves a loving, compatible home where they can thrive as gentle family companions or vigilant livestock guardians. Our adoption process is thorough yet compassionate, designed to match our rescued dogs with adopters who understand the breed's unique needs—like ample space, patient training, and a calm environment. We serve the Southeast (GA, SC, NC, TN, and surrounding areas) and require all applicants to be 21+. Our Commitment to You & Your New Pyr: Health & Preparation: All adoptable dogs are vet-checked, dewormed, flea/tick treated, heartworm tested, microchipped, and receive at least one series of core vaccinations (rabies, distemper, etc.). Puppies are ready at 8 weeks. Sterilization: We spay/neuter the majority prior to adoption for health and population control. For working guardians, we make vet-guided exceptions with a strict no-breeding contract, refundable deposit, and 6-month follow-up. Adoption Contribution: $300 covers care costs (vetting, transport, microchipping)—a suggested $25 reservation secures your match (non-refundable but transferable). The Process (Takes 1–2 Weeks): Submit Application: Fill out our simple online form—share about your home, experience, and why a Pyr! Review & Chat: Our team assesses fit (e.g., fenced yard for safety) and schedules a virtual/phone interview. Meet & Greet: Arrange an in-person visit (we travel within 50 miles; fees may apply beyond). Home Visit: Quick, non-invasive check to confirm a safe setup. Approval & Transport: Sign contract, pay contribution, and bring your Pyr home—we provide starter supplies and 30 days of follow-up support! 14-Day return policy on any pets we adopt with full refund. We reserve the right to deny applications if the match isn't ideal
