Great Pyrenees Rescue of Southern Ontario's Adoption Policy
How We Prepare Great Pyrenees Rescue Dogs For Adoption All of our Great Pyrenees rescue dogs have been fully examined and treated for any illness, sores, etc. before they are made available for adoption. They are implanted with identity microchips. In addition, if necessary each dog is spayed or neutered before placement. All that remains to be done is to find a loving and caring home to share their love, and that is where you, the potential adopting family, can be the final ingredient.
