Meet Shep - Senior- Pyr Mix - Foster Needed

Shep has found himself with two new owners in the past year through no fault of his own. His original owner died, and his son took him in. He then decided to move out of state and took all his dad's dogs to the shelter. Someone adopted Shep in February, and then found themselves without a home and took him to another shelter, which is how he came to us. Shep is a mild mannered and easy-going boy, who is Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd. He gets along well with other dogs, and cats too. He is housebroken, walks great on a leash, and is a great dog He was a favorite at the shelter where he was adopted from, and has been a total gentleman since coming to us. He is gentle, loves attention, walks well on a leash, and does well with other dogs. Shep gets along well with cats too, and likes kids. If you can find it in your heart to give this boy his last home, he will repay you with total devotion and unconditional love.

We recommend obedience training for all newly adopted pyrs, to help you create a special bond with you and your new friend, and so you have a well behaved canine. Great Pyrenees are willing to learn, but are not as eager to comply with commands as much as other breeds. They are bred to be independent thinkers. Applicants must be over 25, own their own home and all children in household must be over 6 years old. Your resident pets must be up to date on vaccines, sterilized, you must have a good history of vet care for them for the past two years, and you must have used heartworm preventative year round for your dogs and be able to provide proof of purchase.


Shep will be placed as an inside pet with outside privileges. You MUST have a securely fenced yard accessible from your home. Invisible fencing does not work with this breed and they will take the shock for the freedom. Great Pyrenees are bred to roam and will create their own territory if not secured, which can led to them being lost, hit by vehicles or shot by people who see them as a threat. The breed is not a good off leash dog, and cannot be trusted to not run away. A Great Pyrenees off leash is a " DisAPyr."

If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please complete the appropriate application on our website, www.igpr.org under the Adopt tab.

All of our dogs marked as needing foster homes are also available for adoption. If a dog is listed on this site, it is available. No need to contact us to see if it is, We do require you complete the adoption application prior to meeting a dog.

We also offer a foster to adopt program. You foster the dog, and have first right of refusal on them if an approved application is submitted for them.

In fostering a dog, the dog comes to you up to date on vaccines, You may need to transport the dog for follow up vaccines and for sterilization, based on their age. You provide good quality food, grooming, and we provide the heartworm preventative and medical care, if needed* .(*Based on approval from IGPR.)

If you are adopting, we cannot guarantee your dog will be groomed prior to you taking them home. We do offer a two week trial period, in which either party, has the right to cancel the adoption. A $100 non refundable deposit is required prior to you taking the dog. Any veterinary expenses you incur during the trial period is your responsibility, if you do not notify us prior to a vet visit that the dog needs veterinary care. You may request the dog you are adopting be groomed at your expense, prior to picking them up. This can delay the trial period with the dog based on the availability of getting the dog an appointment with a groomer.

Adoption fee is $300
