My story

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

Meet April: Your Future Loyal Companion
April has been patiently waiting for her forever home for over two long years. As she watched countless dogs come and go, her heart yearned for the love and family she once knew. April’s journey began under difficult circumstances—she was believed to be a rural working dog who ended up in a kill shelter, terrified and struggling to cope with the chaos around her. Scheduled for euthanasia, she was rescued just in time.

During her transport to safety, April managed to escape and spent three harrowing days running across miles of farmland in California’s central valley. When she was finally captured, it was clear that she had been through so much. She arrived with massive infections, open sores, dehydration, and an empty stomach. Her coat was a tangled mess of mud, debris, and burrs. Despite her rough start, April has shown incredible resilience and has settled into the rescue beautifully.

April would do best as the only dog in a home where she can be the center of attention. She is loving and has a keen sense of her surroundings, making her an excellent watchdog. One of her most adorable features is her cute little pixie ears, which perk up at the slightest sound. While she’s happy at the rescue and eagerly flops down for belly rubs, her heart longs for a family who will appreciate her unique personality and charm.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will adore you and keep you safe, April is the perfect match. She’s ready to bring love and joy into your home. Could you be the one to give her the fresh start she’s been dreaming of?

Contact us today to meet April and help make her dreams come true! 🐾❤️

Note: Great Pyrenees are considered a Giant Breed. Average weight can be 100lbs. or more. They bark, shed and have a wanderlust, so secure fences are a must have. They are NOT off leash dogs and a Pyr off leash is called a "dis'a'Pyr". Some Pyrs do well with other dogs and some don't because by the virtue of their breed traits they were bred to keep out intruders and can consider some dogs as intruders. While they make wonderful pets and family dogs, they aren't for everyone so be sure to understand and learn about the breed traits of this breed or any breed you might be considering.

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.
