My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Stevie (female GSD) and Wally(male Great Pyrenees) are in need of a new home together or foster home until we can find a home where they can stay together. They lost their dad in January and just lost their mom also. Losing each other is the last thing they need right now. Remaining family members are not in a positions to keep them. Wally was adopted from GPRCI in 2017 and will be 9 years old later this month. Stevie is a three year old purebred German Shepherd. We don't know where she came from. Stevie was a covid puppy and is a bit fearful of strangers at first, but comes around quickly and seems to have had some formal training. Wally is well socialized and very typically Great Pyrenees. Due to his owner's illness Wally's coat got matted and he is trimmed down now but will grow back out of. course. They are both house dogs and have always been inside family pets. They also lived with a parrot. Please contact Cindy at gprci.info at gmail.com if you can give Wally and Stevie a place indoor home.
Fenced yard required. You can find our adoption application and adoption info at gprci.com

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

Go meet their pets

Adoptable Great Pyrenees are shown by appointment, usually after a completed application is received and an initial phone interview is conducted.
