My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Marley: Your Future Companion and Protector
Hello, I’m Marley, and I’m about 7 years old. I’m not just a dog; I’m a companion, a friend, a protector, and a life-changer. I’m here to add something special to your life—a dimension that may be missing. I promise to work for you, guard you, keep you company, and love you with all my heart.

When I first arrived at the rescue, I felt battered and defeated. Life had dealt me a tough hand, but I responded with courage and resilience. I don’t hold grudges against those who neglected and abused me; I don’t judge. Instead, I focus on the love I can give. What I truly want in return is the chance to love unconditionally.

I know what it means to be rescued, so please don’t pity me. Instead, think of adopting me and allowing me to walk alongside you in greatness. Together, we can create a bond filled with joy and companionship.

As a Great Pyrenees, I’m part of a giant breed, typically weighing 100 pounds or more. I have some unique traits that are important to consider. I’m protective by nature, which means I may see some dogs as intruders. Some of my fellow Pyrs get along with other dogs, while others prefer being the only canine companion.

I also have a strong wanderlust, so a secure fence is a must—trust me, I can’t be trusted off-leash! I’ll also bark to let you know when something’s up, and I tend to shed, so be prepared for some grooming.

Great Pyrenees are known for being wonderful family pets, but it’s essential to understand my breed traits before bringing me home.

If you’re ready to welcome a loyal and loving companion into your life, I’m waiting for you. Let’s embark on this journey together and make every day an adventure.

Contact us today to meet me, Marley, and let’s start building a beautiful life together! 🐾❤️

Additional adoption info

Applicants have to fill out an application. Go to http://www.spgpc.com/adoptionprocess.htm The application consists of 4 pages and 60 questions relating fenced yards, whether they have had this breed before or large dogs. Three references are required, one from their veterinarian, one from someone they've gotten a dog from before (if applicable) and a personal reference. If the application looks good, then we proceed to the references. If the references are good then we schedule a home study to make sure the dogs will thrive in that environment. Finally we engage the applicants into a contract that spell out their responsibility to the dog and us and our responsibility to them and the dog they are adopting. We then assign a mentor to help them through the transition period and a 1 yr membership to the club. Whether they maintain the membership in force or not we are still a resource to them for the life of the dog. And should life happen, we always take our dogs back.

More about this rescue

We belong to a breed club and take in Great Pyrenees and Great Pyrenees mix dogs. Once a dog is taken into our program, it is restored to health, brought current on all vaccines, micro chipped, had microscopic fecal exams and treated for parasites and worms and had a heart worm test. If positive they are treated before making adoptable and if negative, they are put on a heart worm monthly preventative as well as a preventative for fleas and ticks. All dogs are groomed prior to adoption and are in good health.
