My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

In the summer of 2022, Zoey and Cuppy were wandering around a rural part of Collin County until they finally got tired and stopped to rest at a farm, thin and ragged. A Good Samaritan took them in and started looking for a rescue to help. We said “yes” and within a few days, Zoey delivered puppies (we assume Cuppy is the father).

We don't know what kind of life Zoey and Cuppy had before coming into rescue, but they both appreciate the comforts of living inside the house -- especially a good cushy bed and air-conditioning in summer time. Zoey enjoys spending time outside during the day, and has been completely safe around our chickens. She is currently in a foster home with no livestock, but she gets along well with the other dogs in the home, including another female Great Pyrenees and a few medium-size female mix breed dogs. She is also fine with the cats in the home, which include both tame and feral cats. Zoey is very shy on meeting new people, but with the people in each of the foster homes where she has lived, Zoey has warmed up to her family and seems to enjoy affection, especially tummy rubs.

We should note that the family who adopted one of Zoey's puppies did a Wisdom Panel DNA test which showed the puppy's mom to be 100% Great Pyrenees. We know some people are skeptical about the accuracy of doggy DNA tests, but based on Zoey's looks and temperament, we think it's reasonable to believe this test could be accurate and she could be all Pyr.

If Zoey sounds like the right match for your family, please submit your application today. Click here!

Donation

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Our application to foster or adopt is on our website at www.bluebonnetrescue.org.

2.
Approve Application

Our application process usually includes a vet/reference check, plus landlord check if you rent.

3.
Home Check

One of our volunteers will meet you at your home to verify that you have secure fencing and a safe place for one of our dogs to live.

4.
Meet the Pet

We typically arrange a meet & greet at Windsong Ranch in Whitewright TX and invite you to bring your dog/s with you.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process includes an application that helps us get to know you better so we can help you make the best match. If you have pets already, we will talk with your vet's office to be sure that you are being a good guardian for these animals. The next step is a home visit, during which we will pay special attention to your fencing and the shelter you will offer to one of our dogs. Finally, once everything is approved, we will introduce you to one or more dogs. If you fall in love and the feeling is mutual, we will complete a contract.

We are an all-volunteer organization, and every one of our volunteers has a "real job" that takes up 8 or more hours a day. So please be patient when you contact us -- we'll respond to you as quickly as we can, but please don't be annoyed if it takes us 24 hours or longer.

Go meet their pets

We are based at Windsong Ranch in Whitewright, TX. This is a private, working ranch, so visits are by appointment only. We host an annual "Ranch & Rescue Day" in the fall, with a petting zoo, hay ride, and other fun activities. We are working on plans for a monthly adoption event at a local retail store, and will update this when the schedule is confirmed.

More about this rescue

Bluebonnet Animal Rescue Network (BARN) was founded in 2013 to help animals in North Texas, and especially in the Texoma area. We are a non-profit corporation, founded by people who had spent years rescuing an assortment of animals -- from a vulture with a broken wing to feral cats to dogs who were dumped in our rural area. We fostered for another organization for a few years before forming BARN. We are not breed-specific in our rescue efforts, but we have a fair amount of experience with Great Pyrenees and a few other livestock guardian breeds.

We are always looking for more volunteers, including foster homes. And of course, as a non-profit organization, we always appreciate donations of time, services, dollars, and supplies. We usually have a LOT of big dogs in foster, and grooming appointments are expensive, so we are especially glad to have volunteers help us with this task. We would also be glad to have your help spreading the word about Bluebonnet Animal Rescue -- through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media you use. Give us a call and let us know how you would like to help!
