Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue is a 501c3 organization with a network of volunteers across the United States. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome unwanted, displaced, and neglected Great Pyrenees along with other Livestock Guardian dogs that are abandoned in high kill shelters throughout Texas. By placing them in caring and nurturing foster homes we are able to successfully adopt them to loving homes th

roughout the Western United states. Our mission is to engage community members to promote better treatment of these dogs and reduce euthanasia numbers through adoptions, education, and other resources.

Rescues Helping Rescues - Bonded Pair 🩷💙 Meet Thor & Nala 💕🐾 Second Chance Dogs for info !!!!

Thor, a 6-year-old purebred Great Pyrenees, and Nala, a 5-year-old Great Pyrenees/Akbash mix, are a truly bonded pair looking for a forever home **together** in McKenna, WA. Both are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, house-trained, and have been wonderful indoor companions. Nala is the outgoing social butterfly, while shy Thor takes a little time to warm up before revealing his sweet, cuddly side. Both walk well on leash, know basic commands, and have surprisingly good Pyr recall! 😉

These two are natural-born guardians who love having a secure yard or property to patrol and protect. They are best suited as the **only dogs in the home** (Nala has shown aggression toward very small dogs) and would do well with adults or children after a proper introduction. Thor has IBS and both are on a specialized Hill’s Z/D diet; they are also comfortable taking medications. Loud bangs, fireworks, and gunshots are frightening, especially for Thor, who will need reassurance. After years together, these two deserve a family who will keep their bond intact and give them the love, space, and purpose they both crave. **Could you be their forever home?** 🐾❤️

🐾💗 MEET FREYA — LITTLE BODY, BIG LGD PERSONALITY!💗🐾
📍 Marysville, WA | 18 Months Old
🏡 FOSTER NEEDED!**

Freya may be a petite Anatolian mix, but don’t let her size fool you… this girl has **BIG guardian energy packed into a smaller package!** 😂🐶

She is incredibly smart, loyal, protective, and always on duty.Her current temporary foster family — mama, kiddos AND doggies — have officially been placed under her very important security detail. 👮‍♀️🐾

The backyard? **Under surveillance.** 👀
The house? **Secure.** 🏠
A suspicious stranger? **Freya has questions.** 😂

This beautiful girl is naturally cautious and shy when meeting new people. She can be very weary of strangers, so she'll need someone who understands LGD behavior and is willing to continue building her confidence through **patience, consistency, and ongoing socialization.**

And because Freya is a **VERY smart young girl**, she needs a job—or at least enough things to make her believe she has one! 😂

Think:
🦴 LOTS of appropriate chews
🧩 Enrichment and activities
🌳 Room to explore
🐾 Plenty of mental stimulation
❤️ A predictable, secure environment

Freya would likely be happiest with **some land or property where she can safely run, explore, and burn off some of that young-dog energy.**

Her current foster works from home, and Freya does seem to enjoy having her people around. If left alone, she will need to be **crated**, because those adorable **puppy vibes are still VERY strong with this one!** 😅

Freya is looking for an **experienced LGD home** that understands that she is still growing, learning, and figuring out her place in the world. She needs someone who can help her feel safe and secure while allowing that wonderful guardian personality to develop in the right direction.

She has SO much potential to become an incredible companion and guardian for the right family. 💗

Whether you can offer her a **foster home or a forever home**, Freya needs someone willing to give her the time, structure, enrichment, and patience she deserves.

If you're interested in helping Freya, please reach out to:

🐾💙HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY FROM GREAT PYRS & PAWS RESCUE!💚Today we celebrate the dogs who bring unconditional love, companionship, laughter, and so much joy into our lives. Dogs can also bring meaningful routine, connection, comfort, and purpose—getting us outside, giving us a reason to smile, and reminding us that we are never truly alone. While a dog isn't a cure for mental health struggles, the bond we share with them can be incredibly meaningful. 💙
This National Dog Day, consider giving a rescue dog the chance to become part of your life. 🏡🐶 💙Volunteer, 💙foster, 💙adopt, or simply share an adoptable dog to help them find their forever family. Your next best friend could be waiting for you—and together, you could change each other's lives. 💚🐾 Reach out to Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue to learn how you can help

A Warm Weekend Welcome to these two adorable pups: Geralt and Cirilla! Found living on the streets near Austin, our awesome volunteer took these two sweethearts in and they are settling nicely!

Gerald is a goofy boy who is estimated to be approximately 1 year old. Cirilla (Ciri) is shy to start and estimated to be 6-7 months old. Both dogs love toys, are doing well with house training, and need more work on leash training. Both are very sweet once they warm up. Watch for updates here and at www.greatpyrsandpaws.org.

🌿🐾 **BOLT IS READY TO CLOCK OUT OF RESCUE & INTO HIS FOREVER HOME!** 🐾🌿

🚨 **3 YEARS.**
Yep. You read that right.
BOLT HAS BEEN WAITING FOR HIS FOREVER FAMILY FOR THREE WHOLE YEARS.** 💔
Meanwhile, this 5½-year-old Great Pyrenees × Catahoula Leopard Dog mix has been living his best foster life in Tacoma with his loving foster mama and foster siblings — and he has apparently decided that if he has to wait, he might as well stay busy. 😂

🌱 **BOLT'S CURRENT JOB TITLES INCLUDE

👨‍🌾 **Assistant Gardener**
He LOVES hanging out in the yard while his foster mom gardens. Does he actually garden? Questionable. Does he supervise? **Absolutely.**

🧸 **Toy Specialist**
Why play with an actual dog toy when there are SO MANY RANDOM THINGS around the house that could potentially be entertaining?!

🍽️ **Dishwasher Assistant**
Bolt is always ready to help load the dishwasher. Efficiency is important.

🧽 **Countertop Inspector**
If something is left on the counter, Bolt may feel morally obligated to assist with its removal.

🧺 **Laundry Conservation Expert**
Bolt believes clothes and towels should experience the great outdoors — preferably **in the rain.** 😂

🏃‍♂️ **Professional Zoomie Technician**
He can be a serious gentleman… right up until he decides it is time to get **SPICY** and zoom around his people.

🛡️ **Neighborhood Security Manager**
UPS truck? 🚨
Mailman? 🚨
Something suspicious? 🚨

Bolt takes his security duties VERY seriously. 😂🐕

But underneath all that silliness is a **sweet, smart and incredibly loyal dog** who loves pets, attention and being near his people.

🐾 **A few things Bolt would like his future family to know

• He's **5½ years old**
• Great Pyrenees × Catahoula Leopard Dog
• Sweet, smart & eager to please
• Extremely loyal to his people ❤️
• Loves affection and attention
• Loves hanging out in the yard
• Enjoys gardening with his foster mom 🌱
• Has a VERY silly side
• Can get spunky and playful with his people — sturdy humans appreciated! 😂
• Takes his security job seriously and will bark when he perceives a threat
• Could potentially live with a **female dog**
• Prefers to **eat alone**
• Currently living happily with his foster mama and foster siblings in **Tacoma, WA**

🚗 **Bolt can be transported within Washington and Oregon

After **THREE YEARS**, we're hoping his forever family is finally out there.

Maybe it's you.
🌿 garden beside you
🛡️ protect you from the UPS truck
🍽️ help with the dishes
🧺 “conserve” your laundry
🏃‍♂️ zoom around the house
❤️ give you his whole heart

**Bolt has been waiting patiently.**

Now he just needs someone to say

**“Buddy, your shift is over. You're HOME.”** 🏡❤️
