AugustusAugustus is one of three Pyrs in Indiana needing heartworm treatment. He was surrendered by an owner who could no longer care for him. He has regained much of his weight and strength, and has become a very playful (but still gentle) dog. He has a few more pounds to gain, but he exhibits a very healthy appetite! Gus still needs to go through heartworm treatment, which will be scheduled in the next few weeks. Augustus is available for adoption.
BiancaBianca (IN) is a young Pyr, between six and twelve months old. She has a gentle demeanor and a sweet personality. She is a beautiful girl who looks like a teddy bear, but she needs entropion surgery because her eyelids roll inward. Bianca is available for adoption.
BryantBryant (TN) is a four-year-old male Great Pyrenees. He was found as a stray and he has clearly been someone's pet, but no one ever came forward to claim him. Bryant had a leg injury that someone had fixed in the past, but the repair did not work and his back leg was amputated.
CamilleCamille (TN) is an 18-week-old Great Pyrenees puppy who was rescued from a very bad situation. Camille had been tied to a trampoline and was living there with no shelter. Her tail was partially amputated when it was caught in the trampoline. Camille now has entropion, which is a minor eyelid defect that will be surgically repaired. The cost for her surgery is estimated at $500. Camille is available for adoption.
CeceleCecele is one of four heartworm-positive dogs being held in Tennessee, awaiting treatment. She was an owner surrender from the Ripley, TN shelter. She is two years old, has double dewclaws, but a very short, soft, sleek coat. She was very thin and weighed 79 pounds when she came into rescue but has gained some weight since then. Cecele will be available for adoption soon.
HopeHope (TX) is suffering from mange and malnutrition, is severely underweight, has almost NO hair, literally no tail, an ear that has been chewed at some point, and is skin and bones. She was pulled from a kill shelter and her rescuer writes, "When I spent a few moments with her I couldn't cry anymore. Hope made me smile with her spirit that was unbroken and she leaned on me the way Pyrs do, and she jumped in the car like she knew she had been saved. The whole way home I would talk to her and sing to her (poor girl!), and when she would hear my voice she would come and put her head between the front seats for a pat. This girl is an absolute sweetheart and a real fighter."
KingstonKingston (IN) was found as a stray and is 12-14 months old. Kingston recently had shoulder surgery to repair his front shoulder from either being hit by a car or from a birth defect that was making him lame in his front leg. His surgery cost more than $800. He loves to romp and play, likes stuffed toys and chewy bones—he is a very friendly and loving boy. Kingston is available for adoption.
LillyLilly (IN) is an ten-week-old pup born to a stray female now in rescue. Lilly's leg was accidentally broken when she was stepped on, and she had to have orthopedic surgery which cost $1300.
PhoenixPhoenix (TX) needs bilateral hip surgery. He was taken in as a cruelty seizure. He is an older dog who has been severely neglected for most of his life. Phoenix is available for adoption.
SimonSimon is one of three Great Pyrenees dogs in Texas needing heartworm treatment. He's a big boy, too, and definitely lives up to the term 'gentle giant.' Simon is available for adoption.
SugarSugar (IN) was surrendered because her owner didn't have time for her. Sugar, or "Sug" as her foster mother calls her, has been a wonderfully well-behaved girl. Sugar was diagnosed with patella luxation on her rear leg, and the cost to repair it was $900. She is recovering nicely at her foster home, but donations are needed to help pay for the cost of her operation.
TitanTitan (TX) also needs bilateral hip surgery. He was picked up from a Houston shelter about a month and a half ago. He walked a little awkwardly, and after several trips to the vet's office it was determined that he needed a full hip replacement. The doc even said it would be understandable to put him to sleep forever, but thankfully rescue doesn't give up so easily. Titan is available for adoption.
