Saber's Story

You can call me Saber or you can call me Sabre...I might respond. What do you expect - I'm a Pyr! We have very selective hearing.<br/><br/>I'm a sweet girl who is a bit reserved and cautious when meeting new people. I do warm up quicker to women than men. The volunteers at AGPR have helped me learn that it is ok to trust other people and I'm getting better at it. Slowly but surely. <br/><br/>I recently spent a little time with a foster dad and he let me get up on his bed to relax. I enjoyed that but found that the floor was a much cooler place to "chill". I ride well in a car and enjoy taking walks. I do pull a little - I think that is part of my nervousness when meeting new people. But I love to run and play in the yard,<br/><br/>The volunteers continue to tell me I am a very pretty girl. They say I have "maybelline eyeliner" and silver tipped ears. They are so nice to me!<br/><br/>I'm not a city girl. I'd really like to be in a calm home with a nice yard and an understanding neighborhood. I will bark at strangers because it is my job to protect you and our property.<br/><br/>One last thing - I was in a home for a little while with cats and I DO NOT LIKE CATS. Sorry...but it is important for anyone thinking of adopting me to know that. And I recently told my AGPR friends that I really do not want to share my future home with another dog...I'd prefer to be the center of attention and get ALL the love and affection!<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

Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue's Adoption Policy
We believe that any prospective owner of a Great Pyrenees should be educated about the breed and we stand behind all of our placements for the life of the dog. If you adopt a dog through AGPR, you can expect us to be there if you have any questions about the breed, if you need help, if you’re having problems, or for any reason at all. If for any reason you can’t keep your adopted dog, you must return it to the rescue.  We expect all adoptive homes to an adequate physical fencing, to be able to care for a large breed of dog, to provide appropriate medical care, and to be committed to making the adoption of a rescue dog a success. Our adoption fees are $400 for adults and $450 for puppies (12 months and younger). All dogs have received medical care, are up to date on shots and are spayed/neutered and microchipped. Adoption fees go directly to our rescue fund to help pay for the health and vet treatment of previous and newly rescued Pyrs.
