How to Help
Volunteers with a Mission
National Great Pyrenees Rescue needs volunteers for the national rescue effort and encourages volunteers to help with rescue efforts around the country.
Ways to Help
Volunteers are always needed. There are many ways you can help.
Fostering: This is always the most critical need for all rescue groups. Depending on your comfort zone, you could foster dogs directly from a shelter or after they have completed the quarantine period and have been evaluated by an experienced foster. Spending time in a foster home will provide a smooth transition for a dog into their "forever home". While the dog is with you, your input will help rescue volunteers find the best possible family match for the dog.
Home Visits: Meet with families interested in adopting a dog. A visit is scheduled when all household members (including pets) are home, usually on a weekend but sometimes on an evening during the week.
Dog Assessment: Volunteer to evaluate rescue dogs in your area. When an owner is interested in surrendering their dog or a dog is at a shelter, someone needs to evaluate the dog. The evaluation determines whether the dog is a Great Pyrenees or Pyr mix, their temperament and whether this dog is placeable. You can always consult with other rescue volunteers if you need help.
Transport: Drive a rescue dog within a 1-3 hour radius of your home. Transportation is usually in close proximity to you, and you can let us know how many miles you might be willing to drive. The entire route is mapped out by the location and time available of the individual volunteers in that area.
Donate a Product or Service: Do you have a skill that could help rescue or a service you can donate? Please tell us about it!
Please fill out the Volunteer Application Form. And thanks for helping rescue.
