Great Pyrenees Rescue of Western Illinois Our Rescue is no longer active. The dog on our logo is Jake. We adopted him from the Great Pyrenees Rescue of Central Illinois.

Since we adopted him, our Resort has fostered Pyrs and Pyr mixes for the same rescue. We decided that we would now like to things a step further....create a rescue for our area and continue our efforts to rescue and find loving forever homes for these wonderful "gentle giants".

Jake, our GPRWI mascot, crossed the Bridge this evening. I adopted him from GPRCI in 2011 and he led me to start our Rescue. He was a harder to place Pyr as he had Diabetes Insipidus, causing him to drink a 5 gallon bucket of water a day. During his life, he ruptured both of his ACL’s but, because of his Diabetes Insipidus, he was not a candidate for surgery. We made him comfortable and he enjoyed his days at the Rescue until he stopped eating yesterday. That was the first meal that he had ever missed. Tonight we decided it was time. Night Night, Bubby. Momma loves you ❤️. ~Tara

Everyone thought Minor’s photo was cute when I posted it Friday. It was. Who is Minor? He is one of our Sanctuary Pyrs. If we didn’t have the capabilities of a Sanctuary, guess where he’d be? Buried under our pine trees, quite bluntly. He was born and adopted here...and returned with a bite record. He is a very sweet boy, but he has an ornery side that, if you allow yourself to escalate with him, he will lash out. Many of you wonder why we are a Sanctuary and maybe wonder why we don’t adopt out any more and why we deserve donations. Our Sanctuary Pyrs are very well-loved and cared for by our staff and very limited volunteers. We have narrowed down and adopted out all of the Pyrs we felt we could adopt out. The remainder are ones that have been returned or never stood a chance with today’s disposable society. We are working towards giving them the comforts of a home environment, but that takes donations. I already pay for the majority of their funding....food, vet bills, staff, etc. I want the best for them, and I will do it on my own if I have to. So many have already failed them, I’m not going to. ~Tara
