As part of the Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Club, Inc. we rescue abused and unwanted Great Pyrenees. When a dog is brought into our rescue program they come in under the jurisdiction of the Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Club, Inc. Rescue. They will be restored to health, trained if needed, brought current on all vaccines, micro chipped, spayed/neutered, de-wormed, tested for heart worm and evaluated as suitable for adoption before being placed in a new pre-qualified home. Unfortunately, many folks think dogs that end up in rescue are all genetically and behaviorally inferior. But, it is not uncommon for Rescue to get expensive dogs that have either outlived their usefulness or their novelty with impulsive owners who considered their dog a possession rather than a friend or member of the family; or simply did not really consider the time, effort and expense needed to be a dog owner. Not all breeders will accept “returns”, so choices for giving up dogs can be limited to animal welfare organizations, such as Rescues, or the owners trying to place their own dogs. In our rescue efforts we work with many of the SPCA’s and County and City Animal Shelters throughout California and the contiguous states. Our efforts are funded by donations and private contributions. Rescue a dog and get a devoted friend for life! Rescue work can be difficult to do even on good days, heartbreaking each and every time you do it, and financially draining on a continuous basis. But, the most rewarding experience you will ever have is when you look into the eyes of a dog and he/she shows you every day how grateful he/she is because you saved him from being thrown away, starved, abused and nearly killed. Choosing a rescue dog over a purchased pup will not solve pet overpopulation problems (only responsible pet owners and breeders can do that), but it gives many of them a chance they otherwise would not have. But, beyond doing a “good deed”, adopting a rescue dog can be the best decision and addition to the family you ever made.
Prospective adoptees are required to fill out the Home Evaluation Form and provide three personal references. Once returned, it is screened and the references are checked. This helps the rescue committee know what type of a dog you are looking for to insure a proper fit. If your home evaluation form and reference checks are satisfactory, a rescue representative will schedule a time to come out to your home to do a home study. This ensures that the environment is suitable for the dog. If repairs to fences need to be made then you will be instructed about the repairs that need to be made before acquiring the rescue dog. Once your application has been approved, you will be invited to visit the dogs available for adoption. If there are no dogs in rescue at that time, your name will be placed on a list and when a dog or dogs come into rescue you will be notified. You will have the opportunity to visit with the dogs and if you do not find a dog of your choosing then your name will remain on the list and you will be called each time a dog comes into rescue, until you pick a suitable match. We do ask for a non-refundable $450 tax deductible donation which goes back into rescue to perpetuate the program. The donation is collected at the time the dog is placed with you. And you are required to sign a rescue contract outlining the conditions of the adoption. We strongly encourage new adoptees to join the club. The club is a good resource and a lot of fun with activities throughout the year.
