Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue rescues, rehomes and places Great Pyrenees dogs within Virginia, Maryland, D.C. and parts of West Virginia. AGPR is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and all donations are tax deductible. The headquarters is located in Richmond, Virginia. We are all volunteers who receive no compensation for our efforts other than educating the public, caring for Great Pyrenees dogs in need and helping to permanently place them in forever homes. 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.
After completing the application and clicking submit you will get a copy back to the email address you provided. If you do not receive a copy please contact us at [email protected]. Reviewing the application and references may take several days. You will be contacted once the process is complete. The Adoption director can approve or deny the application as can the Director or a majority vote of the Board of Directors. The potential adopter will review possible Great Pyr matches who are both available and appropriate for the potential adopter’s household and lifestyle. All applicants are processed on a first come, first serve basis. We cannot hold a dog, because space for new rescues is always at a premium. When a potential adopter visits the rescue kennels or foster home to meet the dog or dogs they are interested in adopting, the AGPR representative or Foster Care person has the right to refuse the adopter if he or she feels that the adoption is not in the dog’s best interest. If the dog is in foster care the Foster Care person will contact the Director and review the comments and concerns. The Director then discusses other options or the decision with the potential adopter. Congratulations you made it through. It will be worth it to have such a wonderful, healthy Great Pyrenees. You will also have a great team on your side. AGPR is available for questions, problem solving, or comments for as long as the Adoptive Family needs. You will also receive the newsletter and updates on recent additions and fun upcoming events. The AGPR community stands behind its commitment to caring for out rescued Pyrs.
