Remi - New to Rescue - Great Pyrenees Mix - Foster Needed

Remi is a five year old Great Pyrenees mix who finds herself needing a home through no fault of her own. Her owners divorced and one of them kept Remi, but had to stay in a hotel in order to keep her. While he was a work, she accidentally locked herself in the bathroom, and instead of contacting the owner, they contacted the shelter to remove her. Remi is a snuggler, and about 65 lbs. She has the cutest "Ewok" ears! She is dog selective, and does not do well with cats or young children. We recommend obedience training for all newly adopted pyrs, to help you create a special bond with you and your new friend, and so you have a well behaved canine. Great Pyrenees are willing to learn, but are not as eager to comply with commands as much as other breeds. They are bred to be independent thinkers. She would be a great companion for someone who wants a furry friend, and likes being a homebody. Remi is housetrained and does not need to be crated. <br/><br/>Applicants must be over 25, own their own home and all children in household must be over 6 years old. Your resident pets must be up to date on vaccines, sterilized, you must have a good history of vet care for them for the past two years, and you must have used heartworm preventative year round for your dogs and be able to provide proof of purchase. <br/><br/><br/>Remi will be placed as an inside pet with outside privileges. You MUST have a securely fenced yard accessible from your home. Invisible fencing does not work with this breed and they will take the shock for the freedom. Great Pyrenees are bred to roam and will create their own territory if not secured, which can led to them being lost, hit by vehicles or shot by people who see them as a threat. The breed is not a good off leash dog, and cannot be trusted to not run away. A Great Pyrenees off leash is a " DisAPyr." <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please complete the appropriate application on our website, www.igpr.org under the Adopt tab. <br/><br/>All of our dogs marked as needing foster homes are also available for adoption. If a dog is listed on this site, it is available. No need to contact us to see if it is, We do require you complete the adoption application prior to meeting a dog.<br/><br/>We also offer a foster to adopt program. You foster the dog, and have first right of refusal on them if an approved application is submitted for them. <br/><br/>In fostering a dog, the dog comes to you up to date on vaccines, You may need to transport the dog for follow up vaccines and for sterilization, based on their age. You provide good quality food, grooming, and we provide the heartworm preventative and medical care, if needed* .(*Based on approval from IGPR.)<br/><br/>If you are adopting, we cannot guarantee your dog will be groomed prior to you taking them home. We do offer a two week trial period, in which either party, has the right to cancel the adoption. A $100 non refundable deposit is required prior to you taking the dog. Any veterinary expenses you incur during the trial period is your responsibility, if you do not notify us prior to a vet visit that the dog needs veterinary care. You may request the dog you are adopting be groomed at your expense, prior to picking them up. This can delay the trial period with the dog based on the availability of getting the dog an appointment with a groomer. <br/><br/>Adoption fee is $350
