Rizzo ATX's Story

When Rizzo first rolled into TGPR, she and her sister Sandy, were not exactly "summer-lovin." They were filthy, had ear infections and had very little experience with people or the world outside their 4x8 dog run. They survived the hill country summer floods only to be abandoned by their owner. They are sweet, curious and so brave as they learn to trust humans, and TGPR is "hopelessly devoted" to their care. They are proof that with the right support, love and time, even the toughest beginnings can lead to happy endings. They are feeling better and on their way to becoming the companions they were always meant to be. While they did come in together, they are not a bonded pair and will be fostered separately.

Texas Great Pyrenees Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy

Thanks for considering rescue with TGPR! We’ll start by contacting your vet to confirm that all current pets (yes, even cats!) are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and on heartworm prevention. Next, we’ll reach out to your three personal references to get to know you better and help identify great matches for your lifestyle. If you rent, please let your landlord know we’ll be calling to confirm large dogs are allowed. Then we’ll schedule a home visit, a friendly in-person chat to see your setup and share Pyr tips! Once approved, you’ll be able to connect with fosters to find your perfect match. Approvals are good for a year! And remember: TGPR commits to our dogs for life. If anything ever changes and you can’t keep your Pyr, we’ll always take them back. Let us know if you have any questions. We’re excited to help you find your floof!
