National Goals

Here are the many ways NGPR endeavors to help Great Pyrenees rescue:

  1. NGPR, through its web site, nationalpyr.org, will strive to improve communications between adopters, rescuers, non-breed rescue groups and shelters across the country.
  2. NGPR, through its chat group, National_Great_Pyrenees_Rescue@yahoogroups.com, will work actively to maintain communications between all Pyr rescue groups.
  3. NGPR, through its website, nationalpyr.org, will ensure that all Great Pyrenees rescuers—wherever they are in the country—have the tools they need to place dogs effectively and efficiently.
  4. NGPR will provide information about the breed and promote education and other sources of accurate information about the breed.
  5. NGPR will support existing, legitimate Pyr rescue groups and their activities and will help new rescue groups become established in places where effective breed rescue does not currently exist.
  6. NGPR will work with established, reputable Great Pyrenees rescue groups to facilitate highly selective, one-on-one placement of Great Pyrenees dogs across the country by helping to move specific dogs from reputable Great Pyrenees rescue groups into approved homes, wherever they are.
  7. NGPR will work with other national groups to promote the regulation of pet stores, puppy mills and breeders to avoid the excess production and discarding of animals.
  8. NGPR will fund-raise on a national basis to provide aid and relief for Pyr rescuers.
