Pyrenees Rescue of Western NC's Adoption Policy
Why A Rescue? The very characteristics that make this wonderful breed so desirable to many, can make them vulnerable to neglect or eventual surrender in the homes of those who are unprepared for the responsibilities with raising a dog with specific needs to accommodate their size, need for space, secure boundaries, and maintenance of the beautiful heavy coat.  Sometimes, the family circumstances change, relocations happen, and a new home must be found.  Often, the story is more tragic.  Backyard breeders abound, and puppy mill rescues are brought here to find forever homes.  Because the ultimate goal is to find families for the rescues, they are handled, loved, and groomed daily, socialized with the rescue volunteers and each other, so that they will be well-tempered.  Occasionally, due to behavior problems related to previous abuse or fear, or advanced age or special health needs, a dog will be considered un-adoptable.  Those dogs are guaranteed a home here at the rescue. We are listed with Guidestar. https://www.guidestar.org/profile/47-4410637
