Buttercup's Story

Buttercup - what a sweet name, right? I came to AGPR skinny and scrawny from a shelter out in southwest Virginia. I turned four years old this summer (June 2025). But don't let that fool you, I have lots of energy and also enjoy just chillin' in between. I LOVE people and will often lean into you and then melt into you and slide down to the ground so you can give me belly rubs. I'll let you know when I've had enough (don't hold your breath!). I have to make it very clear that I do NOT LIKE CATS! And we recently learned that horses scare the living daylights out of me. I know, that's a fault but I can't help it. But if that doesn't bother you and you'd like to meet me, send in an application. I'd love to meet you... All Great Pyrenees require a fenced-in yard (at least four foot high). If you have questions about the breed or our adoption policies and procedures, please go to our website at www.agprescue.org. There's plenty of good information about the breed on our website - Pyrs aren't a breed for everyone! Our adoption application is online: http://agprescue.org/adoption-application/agpr-application-donations/ Please note that we are a small regional rescue organization. We will consider adopting to families within a four to five hour drive to Richmond, VA

Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue's Adoption Policy

We believe that any prospective owner of a Great Pyrenees should be educated about the breed and we stand behind all of our placements for the life of the dog. If you adopt a dog through AGPR, you can expect us to be there if you have any questions about the breed, if you need help, if you’re having problems, or for any reason at all. If for any reason you can’t keep your adopted dog, you must return it to the rescue. We expect all adoptive homes to an adequate physical fencing, to be able to care for a large breed of dog, to provide appropriate medical care, and to be committed to making the adoption of a rescue dog a success. Our adoption fees are $400 for adults and $450 for puppies (12 months and younger). All dogs have received medical care, are up to date on shots and are spayed/neutered and microchipped. Adoption fees go directly to our rescue fund to help pay for the health and vet treatment of previous and newly rescued Pyrs.
