Bruce - Young Male Pyr Mix - Needs Foster's Story

Emergency Foster Needed!!!! Bruce was found as a young pup walking down a rural road. We estimate he was born in Mid June 2024. He was not reclaimed from the shelter and came to us the end of August 2024 and was adopted shortly after that. He is crate trained and housebroken. take this beautiful guy who will work with him on his food protectiveness. Bruce completed an initial training program. However, we require obedience training for all newly adopted pyrs less than a year old, to help you create a special bond with you and your new friend, and so you have a well behaved canine. Great Pyrenees are willing to learn, but are not as eager to comply with commands as much as other breeds. They are bred to be independent thinkers. Applicants must be over 25, own their own home and we recommend an adult only household for Bruce. Your resident pets must be up to date on vaccines, sterilized, you must have a good history of vet care for them for the past two years, and you must have used heartworm preventative year round for your dogs and be able to provide proof of purchase for two years too. <br/><br/> Bruce will be placed as an inside pet with outside privileges. You MUST have a securely fenced yard accessible from your home. Invisible fencing does not work with this breed and they will take the shock for the freedom. Great Pyrenees are bred to roam and will create their own territory if not secured, which can led to them being lost, hit by vehicles or shot by people who see them as a threat. The breed is not a good off leash dog, and cannot be trusted to not run away. A Great Pyrenees off leash is a " DisAPyr." <br/><br/>We do not place dogs under age 2 with resident dogs of the same sex. As Great Pyrenees mature, they can become more dominant with dogs of the same sex in the household. The resident dog's personality is also taken into consideration too. <br/>Male puppies come with a neuter requirement to be neutered between 18 and 24 months of age., Neutering giant breed dogs too young can lead to osteosarcoma and joint issues for them later in life. By allowing them to benefit from their hormones, we hope to extend the life of the dog as long as possible. Proof of neutering is required, and $100 of the adoption fee will be returned with proof of sterilization. <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please complete the appropriate application on our website, www.igpr.org under the Adopt tab. <br/><br/>All of our dogs marked as needing foster homes are also available for adoption. If a dog is listed on this site, it is available. No need to contact us to see if it is, We do require you complete the adoption application prior to meeting a dog.<br/><br/>We also offer a foster to adopt program. You foster the dog, and have first right of refusal on them if an approved application is submitted for them. <br/><br/>In fostering a dog, the dog comes to you up to date on vaccines, You may need to transport the dog for follow up vaccines and for sterilization, based on their age. You provide good quality food, grooming, and we provide the heartworm preventative and medical care, if needed* .(*Based on approval from IGPR.)<br/><br/>If you are adopting, we cannot guarantee your dog will be groomed prior to you taking them home. We do offer a two week trial period, in which either party, has the right to cancel the adoption. A $100 non refundable deposit is required prior to you taking the dog. Any veterinary expenses you incur during the trial period is your responsibility, if you do not notify us prior to a vet visit that the dog needs veterinary care. You may request the dog you are adopting be groomed at your expense, prior to picking them up. This can delay the trial period with the dog based on the availability of getting the dog an appointment with a groomer. <br/><br/>Adoption fee: $040

Indy Great Pyrenees Rescue's Adoption Policy
Our adoption and foster applications are available on our website, www.igpr.org. For applications for working dogs, please send an e-mail to info@igpr.org and request we e-mail one to you. For adopters and fosters, you must be over 25 years old, own your own home, have visible fencing a minimum of 4' tall and in some cases 6', SEcure fencing is required for Great Pyrenees because they are born to roam. They can over 5 miles in an hour if they choose to. We do not adopt to homes with overhead trolleys or tie outs either. The dogs can hang themselves on trolleys. Tie outs are not good because it does not allow your dog to walk the perimeter of the territory they are in. This breed cannot be taught territorial boundaries and safely remain in them. Electric fencing and collars do not work for this breed, as they will take the shock for the freedom. No children in the household under 6 years old, and in some cases older, based on the personality of the dog. . Great Pyrenees are large dogs and can accidentally knock over young children or children can fall on them and when the dog reacts, then the custodian of the dog does not feel safe with them around a child. No matter what the age of your child, a new dog should always be supervised with them. If you have had pets in the past 10 years, we REQUIRE a veterinarian reference with complete contact information, and ask that you notify the practice they have your approval to release information about the care of your pets. Personal references should only be provided if it has been 10 years or longer since you have had a pet, or have never owned a pet. If you have not kept your dogs up to date on vaccinations or kept them on year round heartworm preventative, you will not be approved to adopt, unless there is a medical reason your pet could not be vaccinated or on heartworm preventative. We do require a home visit and fence check before adoption approval. If you have adopted a dog from another rescue organization in the last 3 years, and have not moved, we can use that home visit and fence check report in lieu of another home visit. You will need to provide the contact info in order for us to request the report. You may think these are a lot of requirements from IGPR, Inc., in order for you to adopt a new dog. However, these dogs have already lost one or more homes, and we do our best to educate you about the breed, and to insure the dog is a good fit for your situation in our adoption process. We know many of you may love and feed your pets, but responsible pet care also require you are financially able to provide medical care for your dog as needed, and that you have a living situation in which you and the dog can develop a permanent and safe relationship.
