Mame

In August 2024, a good thing happened to me and my nine other companions. We ended up in a shelter in Virginia for a short stay. My lucky day (along with siblings Sumo, Brownie and Gracie) was our transfer to Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue (AGPR). We were very underweight, suffered from mange (practically hairless), had infected ears, eyes and incredibly long nails, and were emotionally detached.<br/><br/>But that all changed. My name is Mame (or Auntie Mame as my friends affectionately call me) and thanks to all the loving and caring people at AGPR, I am beautiful, have a lovely coat, and have learned how to love and trust. <br/><br/>A volunteer did a DNA test on all four of us just because she was curious. I came back 68% Great Pyrenees and 21% Maremma...hard to believe with my colors, but all that is important is that I am lovely and ready for a forever family.<br/><br/>I am a "zoomie queen" when motivated by my human friends. I love to chase you around the exercise run and play tag. I'm so cute when I am trying to catch you. If you get close enough to me, I'll give you a nose boop to show you how happy I am with life. Oh, and I love car rides.<br/><br/>Last year when we came in, I tested positive for ehrlichia and was treated for it. I am a bit smaller/shorter than my sister Brownie and brother Sumo but they say "good things come in small packages". That's me. Oh, one other thing...I have a short tail probably a result of the horrible situation I was in before being rescued. I believe I'll turn five years old sometime this year, but I have no proof.<br/><br/>Please consider adopting me. I've come a long way from an absolutely miserable situation. I promise to ward off the bad guys (i.e. Fed Ex and Amazon trucks) and keep you protected in exchange for a loving home.<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
