Our vet has recommended that all dogs under 6 months not to spay or neuter the pups because they are too young and their bodies are not fully developed. Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first
ADOPTED ON 04-01-21 We would like to introduce Rudy, a very handsome Great Pyrenees mix, who has won everyone’s hearts in our rescue group. He is about 9 months old, and about 45 pounds so far, and has the most gorgeous, silky fur you’ll ever touch. Rudy has passed his physical with flying colors and is ready to continue his journey towards his forever home!
Rudy made his way to our southern rescue partner the same way so many others do: a kind-hearted person who tries to help when they just can’t turn a blind eye to a dog in need. Rudy’s mom was picked up by someone just like that. She may have been abandoned or, worse yet, been born a stray. In either case, she was in bad shape and, unfortunately, pregnant. All too often, people neglect to spay or neuter their pets, exacerbating the already too large problem of these poor pups just struggling to survive another day. This wonderful woman kept Rudy and his mom, but then decided to turn Rudy over so he could have a better life. He is now headed up north to find the loving family he very much deserves.
Rudy is said to be super sweet and very laid back. He starts off a bit reserved when he first meets someone, but then soon decides you are his best friend! He gets along great with all the dogs he currently lives with, and seems to be OK with cats so far. He loves the children in his foster home and enjoys chasing them around the yard. We always strongly suggest, however, that there is always an adult supervising when a new dog is introduced to other animals and children. Rudy is still very young though, and like most puppies, loves everyone and everything!
Researching breeds is important when deciding to add a new member to the family. Making sure the personality and characteristics of a particular breed will be compatible with your family will only make the transition smoother for everyone. Pyrs are mellow companions and vigilant guardians of the home and family. Frequently described as “majestic,” Great Pyrenees are big, immensely strong mountain dogs. These steadfast guardians usually exhibit a Zen-like calm, but they can quickly spring into action and move with grace and speed to meet a threat. The lush weatherproof coat is all white, or white with markings of beautiful shades of gray, tan, reddish-brown, or badger.
Rudy will most likely be a little larger when he is an adult. We think he will be a big teddy bear! He certainly has the calm and loving personality to welcome lots of hugs. He is a good boy, is very smart, and has great manners. His ideal home is flexible. He loves attention, and would be happy in most homes, as long as he is loved. Consider welcoming Rudy into your hearts and home. He will not disappoint as a new companion and family member!

It is what we enjoy doing and helps us wake up in the morning; we know that the dog is thankful we rescued them and thankful for their life.
