Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Winky is a petite girl, estimated now at 8-9 months old, and is 60 pounds. She and her sister, Wonky, were brought to the rescue by good samaritans who found them on the road in southern Illinois. Winky had a cavity in her face where her eye should have been. With our vet's examination, it was discovered her eyeball had been ruptured sometime previously and never addressed resulting in a dead and shriveled eye. Our vet successfully surgically removed the remnants of the eye and the site is healed with most of the fur now grown back.
Both sisters are timid but have made lots of progress. They get along well right now but are not overly attached to one another. We feel each would do best and progress faster in confidence and socialization being placed in a home with a well socialized resident dog as a companion. We would consider placing them together based on the experience and situation of the home.
Winky enjoys being petted and affection. She is now comfortable on leash/harness (although she does startle at times) and jumps right in the van. She had her first formal groom and handled that well. She is shy at first with new people and still fearful of unfamiliar situations. She will need a patient and understanding adopter willing to work with her shyness as well as the training all puppies need.
A securely fenced yard will be required. Please email gprci.info@gmail.com with any questions. Adoption information and our adoption application can be found at gprci.com

A securely fenced yard will be required. Please email gprci.info@gmail.com with any questions. Adoption information and our adoption application can be found at gprci.com
Our adoption process includes completing an adoption application, allowing a home/site visit, and if approved for adoption, signing a legally binding adoption contract at the actual time of adoption. Our adoption application can be found on our website at www.gprci.com and can be completed on line or downloaded for printing.
The application will ask for a personal reference and the name and phone number of your current and/or past veterinarian. Vet records must verify that pets receive/have received good care, both in the case of illness/ injury and preventative care (vaccinations, etc). Current pets must be up to date on preventative vet care and spayed or neutered (unless there are extenuating circumstances). We will contact you by phone upon receipt of your application but feel free to call or email with any specific questions.
A securely fenced property is required. Great Pyrenees must be in secure fencing or on leash at all times, for their own safety, as they cannot be reliably trained to a property boundary.
We request of adopters a minimum donation to GPRCI of $200 at the time of adoption to help with some of the vet care expense.
