Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Jax, the 4-5 month old Great Pyrenees puppy with a heart as big as his fluffy coat! Jax's story started tragically when he was abandoned, but thanks to a kind-hearted samaritan, he found temporary refuge until a rescue could take him in. Now, Jax is looking for his forever home, and he's ready to shower his new family with love and affection.
Jax is already housebroken, making him an ideal companion for anyone looking for a furry friend who's ready to settle right in. His sweet nature is described as enough to give you cavities! Despite his rough start, Jax has a heart full of love to give, and he's eagerly waiting for someone to give him the chance to share it.
Adopting Jax means opening your heart and home to a lifetime of unconditional love, wagging tails, and endless snuggles. If you're ready to make a difference in the life of a rescued puppy, consider giving Jax the loving home he deserves. Contact us today to meet Jax and start your journey together!
Note: Great Pyrenees are considered a Giant Breed. Average weight can be 100lbs. or more. They bark, shed and have a wanderlust, so secure fences are a must have. They are NOT off leash dogs and a Pyr off leash is called a "dis'a'Pyr". Some Pyrs do well with other dogs and some don't because by the virtue of their breed traits they were bred to keep out intruders and can consider some dogs as intruders. While they make wonderful pets and family dogs, they aren't for everyone so be sure to understand and learn about the breed traits of this breed or any breed you might be considering.

Applicants have to fill out an application. Go to http://www.spgpc.com/adoptionprocess.htm The application consists of 4 pages and 60 questions relating fenced yards, whether they have had this breed before or large dogs. Three references are required, one from their veterinarian, one from someone they've gotten a dog from before (if applicable) and a personal reference. If the application looks good, then we proceed to the references. If the references are good then we schedule a home study to make sure the dogs will thrive in that environment. Finally we engage the applicants into a contract that spell out their responsibility to the dog and us and our responsibility to them and the dog they are adopting. We then assign a mentor to help them through the transition period and a 1 yr membership to the club. Whether they maintain the membership in force or not we are still a resource to them for the life of the dog. And should life happen, we always take our dogs back.

Once a dog is taken into our program, it is restored to health, brought current on all vaccines, micro chipped, had microscopic fecal exams and treated for parasites and worms and had a heart worm test. If positive they are treated before making adoptable and if negative, they are put on a heart worm monthly preventative as well as a preventative for fleas and ticks. All dogs are groomed prior to adoption and are in good health.
