June
NGPR's Happy Endings Calendar June 2013 Welcome to the home of National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR), the first place to look on the Internet for a rescued Great Pyrenees or to connect with a Pyr rescue group. NGPR is an all-volunteer, tax-exempt, non-profit organization whose mission is to save and rehome rescued Pyrenees coast-to-coast in the U.S. and Canada.

We've been leading the fight to save Pyrs and Pyr mixes since 2006. Our online application makes it easy to apply for a dog but we offer much more than an online placement service.

We give adopters expert advice and information about the breed so they can make the right choice and we stay with them throughout the adoption process and beyond. After that, our bi-monthly newsletter helps us keep in touch.

NGPR supports Pyr rescue efforts across the country, encourages the start-up of new Pyr rescue groups and urges all Pyr rescuers to work together to save more Pyrs.

Rescue has been very busy, with 328 Pyrs placed this year in qualified, furever homes from Maine to Washington state through June 16, an average of 14 dogs a week. We understand that not everyone can foster or adopt, so if you can support the medical, transport and boarding needs of this dedicated, ongoing effort by donating, please click here. We thank everyone for their support which makes national, organized Pyr rescue possible.

Our Rescue Dogs Speak

If our rescue dogs could talk, this is what they would say.

Foster Families Needed

Fostering Saves Lives

Fostering a dog makes room for another dog to come into rescue from a kill shelter. Please read about our foster program. Pluto in NY (right) needs a foster.

Pups on the Move

These dogs aren't going anywhere without help from volunteer drivers. Please complete the volunteer form to help move a Pyr.
