Yeti came into rescue with his house mate Nikita, displaced due to home foreclosure/eviction. Yeti is an Akbash boy 1 yr old, underweight at this time at 65 lbs, but will grow for 2 more years. He is long, tall, angular, smart, and quite the character & clown. He 'smiles' with his mouth open, wrinkles up his face when he is tickled, which is often. Yeti is leash trained, obedient, no vices. Jumps in & out of vehicle, well mannered at the vet, around strangers. Came from a large family with many toddlers/babies, good with small children, other animals, anyone, anything. He will be considered a giant breed when grown & he will be a protective guardian of his forever family. Smarter than the average bear, will require giant breed experience & owners who are willing to learn about the Turkish Akbash guardian breed. Stunning, awesome dog. 4 ft above ground fence is essential, 5 ft would be better for future growth. Home visit, vet reference, adoption contract required to adopt this very special, rare, unique, awesome dog.

We are a not-for-profit, tax-exempt coalition of Pyr rescuers and rescue groups. We save Pyrs and Pyr mixes across the country and place them in approved foster homes to learn how they will interact with your family. Every dog who is fostered or adopted makes room for another Pyr coming out of a kill shelter. NGPR dogs are fostered for a minimum of two weeks or more, spayed or neutered and fully vetted before placement. NGPR will take back any dog who does not succeed in its new home. Many NGPR volunteers are members of the AKC breed club, adhere to their rescue guidelines for purebred Pyrs and apply these standards to the adoption of Pyr mixes as well. Visit www.nationalpyr.org to learn more about us, our mission and our breed. More Information: Questions? The fastest way to learn more about a dog is to fill out the application form below.

Bear Creek Equine Rescue & Sanctuary is a private, stand alone safe haven/sanctuary for unwanted equines, along with several other species. We do not, have never, nor will never euthanize for space. We accept placement of all species by private treaty only from local veterinarians' referrals, law enforcement, court seizures, and donation via owner's bequeath or written request. We have 10 different breeds here of feral & domestic horses, mules, ponies and burros from all over the US & Canada, as well as dogs, cats, llamas, cows, chickens, potbelly pigs, sheep, goats, ducks & geese, all of them rescues. We are a medical rescue and can accept animals with treatable chronic health problems or injuries. Our goal is to provide these abandoned, abused, and neglected animals with lifetime quality care, recovery, rehabilitation, and a future safe from ending up at the slaughter plant for the remainder of their natural days. When their time with us comes to an end, all animals here are given a decent, respectful burial on the farm. It's the right thing to do. We have a restricted adoption program, as most of the animals here are considered unadoptable due to age, health, or high risk safety issues resulting from earlier abuse. The equine adopters that qualify have to be very special people. We do however, network with other reputable rescues nationwide, transferring and accepting transfers when the change is in the best interest of the animal due to climate, or special treatment available at particular veterinary hospital facilities in another part of the country.
