This beautiful young man deserves a very soft place to land. He came to us at the first of the year as a victim of being caught in a domestic abuse situation. He arrived severely emaciated weighing in at 42 pounds, shy with new people and frightened of men in particular. He has come so far in such a short time but will need patience and TLC to continue his journey back to fully trusting that life is good. Buster now weighs in at 75 pounds and is an energetic, playful youngster. He is still shy with strangers at first but once acquainted, is just the sweetest boy.
His best match long term, if placed in a home with a resident dog, will be a female canine companion (spayed of course) and securely fenced yard will be required for safe outside daytime. He has lived with children of all ages and is reportedly fine with cats.
If interested in adopting Buster please visit gprci.com and complete an adoption application. Email gprci.info@gmail.com with any questions.

Our adoption process includes completing an adoption application, allowing a home/site visit, and if approved for adoption, signing a legally binding adoption contract at the actual time of adoption. Our adoption application can be found on our website at www.gprci.com and can be completed on line or downloaded for printing.
The application will ask for a personal reference and the name and phone number of your current and/or past veterinarian. Vet records must verify that pets receive/have received good care, both in the case of illness/ injury and preventative care (vaccinations, etc). Current pets must be up to date on preventative vet care and spayed or neutered (unless there are extenuating circumstances). We will contact you by phone upon receipt of your application but feel free to call or email with any specific questions.
A securely fenced property is required. Great Pyrenees must be in secure fencing or on leash at all times, for their own safety, as they cannot be reliably trained to a property boundary.
We request of adopters a minimum donation to GPRCI of $200 at the time of adoption to help with some of the vet care expense.
