Marcus's Story

My name is Marcus and I was so happy that AGPR offered to help myself, my three siblings, four young cousins, two older cousins and our moms. We were not in a very good living situation and AGPR opened their doors and kennels to all of us in April. At that time, I was a little over 5 weeks old and had no clue what the situation was. Today I'm old enough to know that we landed in an awesome place...we have health care (puppy shots received), awesome food (three square meals a day), play time all day long in the decent weather, and, when the weather is soggy or too hot, an air conditioned room for naps or sleeping. <br/><br/>Do you know what is best? The love and attention we get! On weekends, we have many volunteers come out and they taught us how to walk on leashes. Boy, was that crazy - we had no idea what a collar and leash was. But now we line up at the gate and can't wait for our human friends to leash us up and take us for a walk. Recently, all of us sibs and cousins have been allowed to play all day in the BIG exercise yard! It is so very, very cool - we get to greet all the cars coming up the driveway and people stop and "ohhh and ahhhh" over all of us. We look quite impressive.<br/><br/>My mommy was an Anatolian Shepherd and my daddy may be a Great Pyrenees and/or Anatolian Shepherd. Check out the beautiful markings on my face...definitely influenced by my mom. What is interesting is that all of us boys look different and I look the most like the three of the girls. Nice markings on our faces. Personally? I don't think it matters because I think we are all so good looking! By the way, I am crate trained.<br/><br/>All Great Pyrenees and/or Anatolian Shepherds 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
