Picked up off FM 362. Please call dispatch at 979-826-8282 to have an AC officer help you reclaim, if the dog belongs to you. Thank you!

Please do your part by tagging, microchipping and keeping pets home.

We network with numerous Rescues to help our intakes find a safe place to go and strive to provide the best care until that happens
All animals leave the Pound with ONLY Rescue affiliates to ensure proper vetting before finding their forever home. If you're interested in fostering for a rescue please reach out to [email protected] and a list of Rescues can be provided to you

Good Rescues are few and far between and very important to the strays of our County.
These groups need support to continue to help. Please reach out to a rescue you know and ask how you can be that help.
Many options are there :) Donating supplies and monetarily, Fostering, and even just sharing a post means everything to them.
As our intake rises yearly so do the Rescues needs so they can continue to provide assistance in giving these dogs another chance at a loving furever home

We have a resident here in Waller County who has a beautiful Gordon Setter!! Excitement for the breed aside, sometimes they are not able to get his large, excitable self into the vehicle for his yearly vet exams and that's ok! Seeing citizens truly want to keep up their pets healthcare is amazing to us. We happily go load that boy up for them once a year or more(he's got allergies)
If you're having a problem like this please don't hesitate to call. We will do our best to work it in between regular calls and or help yall get with a mobile vet:)
Don't forget this Sunday is LOW COST VACCINES in Waller. Low cost spay and nueter information is on the pamphlet provided as well

This is Hazel. Hazel is one of the RESCUED Great Pyrenees currently working on our farm. Hazel is one of THOUSANDS of Great Pyrenees across the United States who found herself without a home because of unprepared owners. THOUSANDS.

Those of us doing rescue are INUNDATED with requests to take in these amazing dogs from all sorts of situations: shelters, homesteaders, apartment dwellers, suburban families, farmers in the country… in general people who were grossly unprepared for what it really takes to have these working dogs in their lives.

So here’s some REAL TALK:

🐾 Pyrs are WORKING DOGS governed by 1000s of years of selective breeding for specific traits

🐾 Pyrs are NOT white Golden Retrievers that make outstanding family pets and love everyone they meet.

🐾 A well bred, true to breed Pyr is protective of their family, flocks, and herds. They are NOT personal protection dogs, though.

🐾 Pyrs are INCREDIBLY INDEPENDENT - bred to guard their family/flocks/herds without directions/commands …they don’t really care what you want them to do.

🐾 ALL livestock guardian dog breeds prefer to enlarge their territory and REQUIRE EXCELLENT FENCING

🐾 Pyrs (and all other LGD) bark. A lot. Especially as adolescents while they are learning the job.

🐾 Pyrs take about 2+ YEARS to reach maturity. Adolescence is long and sometimes very tedious.

🐾 Pyrs are NOT AN EASY FIX if predators are taking chickens off your homestead.

We can’t keep up with the number of Pyrs currently being discarded like trash because people acquire them and are unprepared and uncommitted for the long haul.

Educate yourself. Stop romanticizing these dogs. Stop supporting backyard breeders.

Rescue. Is. Overwhelmed.

EDITED TO ADD…

We can’t believe this post has been shared as many times as it has. Clearly, there are some hot button issues for a few folks and we would invite them to bring back here and have a discussion about it with us. We stand by our post.

Hazel is one of six 24/7 working livestock guardian dogs on our farm; 3 of whom are Pyrs. 

We have seen many more come through our farm, and we work closely with a variety of rescues because we are specifically and uniquely equipped to deal with livestock guardian dogs. We know these dogs; we know these breeds.

And again, if you’d like to come to the table and argue or discuss what we’ve said or criticize us, then please do it here instead of sharing the post into private groups and then blocking our access.
