Texas Great Pyrenees Rescue, Inc.

Texas Great Pyrenees Rescue, founded in the 1990s, is a 501.c.3 not for profit volunteer run organization dedicated to the protection and rescue of Great Pyrenees in Texas and surrounding areas. Many of the Great Pyrenees TGPR rescues are abandoned and brought to shelters. Great Pyrenees, being the regal animals they are, do not thrive in a shelter environment. Most of the shelters in Texas will contact TGPR when they receive a Great Pyrenees as it is very difficult to adopt out large breed dogs. Additionally, if they are not in great shape, if their coat is matted and they are underweight and unhappy, they are not as appealing to potential adopters. TGPR gives these dogs time in a family environment to heal, both emotionally and physically, get the medical care they need, and get the basic training to help them become more adoptable. The before and after pictures of many of the rescues are amazing. In just a short amount of time, a neglected, thin, stringy-haired Pyrenees can become a confident, regal and beautiful dog. http://txpyrs.org/jsp/AboutFostering.jsp
