Jasper's Story

Are you big dog savvy and able to handle strong and confident? I was born in June 2019 so I'm still young and energetic and needing someone to teach me boundaries. My name is Jasper and I'm at AGPR because my canine brother and I did not get along. So I resorted to digging my way out and running away.<br/><br/>The volunteers at AGPR have been working with me on my manners. I get so excited to be with people that I like to jump up and give lots and lots of hugs...they are trying to teach me "four on the floor" and to wait to be invited up for hugs. It is tough...I so want to hug everyone I meet. But, I'm also food motivated, so I need to make decisions between hugs or treats. Now do you see my dilemma?<br/><br/>My future home has to be CAT FREE and SMALL ANIMAL FREE. I just don't like or trust those small critters...they are tricky! And I'm not the best with dogs either - especially males. I am the dominant one and would be best in a home with very confident owners accustomed to working with very big independent thinking dogs. I'm not a city boy...I'm still growing, have lots of energy and need an owner willing to work on my manners. In return, they will have my unconditional love (unless someone else offers me a tasty treat).<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.
