Cole's Story

A year ago, 10 (or maybe 11) puppies were born and claimed as an "accidental litter". AGPR was asked in December 2024 to please, please help...the owners could not afford to feed and care for the litter. And the pups were fighting with each other. They had 10 left when they called and 8 left when we got back to them. We agreed to take 5 or 6 of the pups, even though we were overcapacity and had very little space to squeeze them in. They arrived in the back of a truck a few days later.<br/><br/>I'm Cole...Kringle and Glady' brother. My volunteer friend had fun taking photos of me today since I was intent on capturing the little skink that was playing on the tree in my exercise yard. NOTHING would deter me. I was offered treats...nope! My human friend thinks she fooled me, but I saw her captured the skink and move it away.<br/><br/>My lady friend, Gracie, was in the yard barking words of encouragement to me while I was on my big hunt. I saw the human sneak her treats behind her back and decided I needed to get some Milk Bone action.<br/><br/>I'd love a home with lots of human attention or a female canine playmate. Of course I'd want to "interview" her first to make sure she's as sweet as my lady friend Gracie.<br/><br/>Like my brother, a bit more leash walking training would be helpful. I also like to jump up for attention and I blame it on my young age. <br/><br/>Would I loke a forever home soon? You bethca!!! A nice big yard with room for Zoomies and tons of love and attention. Oh, and skinks to chase!<br/><br/>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!<br/><br/>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.
