Western Maine Great Pyrenees Rescue

Western Maine Great Pyrenees Rescue A new foster-based dog rescue formed to find quality homes for this great breed. They were originally bred in the Pyrean Mts. Most adapt easily to living inside.

WESTERN MAINE GREAT PYRENEES RESCUE is a new foster based dog rescue formed with the intention of finding quality homes for this wonderful breed. While many people are well aware of the plight of homeless and unwanted dogs in the southern US, The Pyrenees suffers additionally in the heat of the south due to the amount of hair that they have. between France and Spain as a Livestock guardian Dog. Th

ey thrive in New England's climate, loving snow and winter much more than summer's heat. Because they were bred to do their job without a lot of human input, they tend to be independent thinkers with a serious demeanor. But they are also gentle dogs who are devoted to their human family and protective when the need arises. WMGPR will rehome Pyrs in need from anywhere, but will focus on bringing dogs north from Mississippi. We are licensed by the state of Maine and will adopt to approved homes in ME and NH. We plan to stay small in the number of dogs we have at one time. This will allow each Pyrenees to have individual attention in a home/farm setting. This will allow the dog to develop the skills it will need to have a successful adoption, and hopefully, a forever home.

Buddy, who recently came up from Mississippi, headed to Eastern Maine to live with Lisa and her family. Lisa had been patiently waiting for awhile for a mellow dog past the puppy stage, and Buddy fit the bill! WMGPR wishes to thank Chrissy Cheshire of Cheshire Abbey for the months and months of treatments and vet bills to get this good boy on the road to recovery, as he was so neglected. It was well over 6 months before he was able to come to Maine and find his happily ever after. WMGPR wishes you the best, Fluffy Guy !

Lucy will be headed to Maine this upcoming holiday weekend. When I say that fosters and transport people are the unsung heroes in the rescue picture, I mean it. Colleen and her family opened their home and their hearts to Lucy so she could recover from her spay surgery and finish her vetting before coming to Maine. Lucy was an owner surrender and was an "outside dog" but not a working dog. She simply existed to live outside, in Mississippi she would be known as a "yard dog". Colleen sent these pictures along, and thanks to her kindness, Lucy is having a wonderful introduction to life as an inside dog! Thank you also to Katherine Reardon, and Jennifer Kilduff for the parts you have played in Lucy's story!

Buddy had a great full first day in Maine ! He passed his cat testing with Matt the Cat with a grade of A. He is fine with the horses and didn't seem even remotely interested in the chickens. He loves to go for ambling walks with alot of stopping and looking.

Wow, says Buddy, I'm not in Mississippi anymore !
