Big wags of the tail to Lena and Brandon for driving six pups to NY to meet our friends at Barking Dog Farm Rescue for rehoming in New England. The precious cargo is safe with their new foster there!

Krissi is the first of the fourteen pups that we took in at the beginning of the month to have her furever home lined up.

She will be staying here in North Carolina with one of the fosters who helped care for this little crew.

Winnie is heading to our friend at Western Maine Great Pyrenees Rescue.

Max, Monty, Marlon, Ranger, Marshall, and Abby are headed to our friends at Barking Dog Farm Rescue.

We will be keeping six pups to place through our organization. Look for their profiles and pictures soon!

Thanks to our rescue partners for talking in dogs and the Great Pyrenees Club of America for covering the cost of their vaccines and health certificates.

UPDATE ON THE EMAIL AND CHECK SCAM WE POSTED ABOUT LAST NIGHT:

As predicted, the scammer has asked us to send them money. Remember, their original check was fraudulent.

They are trying to steal $3,500 from us.

Fellow rescues, please watch out for this!

We haven't responded. Should we? If so, what should we say? 🤣💩🤡👺🤬

Heads up to our fellow rescues: if you, too, received an unexpected large donation, DO NOT cash what appears to be a cashier's check drawn on Savers Bank in MA and sent via Priority Mail using the return address of Vista Equity Partners in TX. These businesses have no role in this scam, but someone fraudulently used their names and addresses to lend legitimacy to their scheme to try to steal money from us, well, really the rescue dogs in our care.

We received this email correspondence and check. It raised red flags, and we reached out to Savers Bank before depositing the check in the rescue dogs' checking account. The very helpful officer at Savers Bank explained that we were right to be suspicious. This check is a fake. He explained that thieves will say there was a mistake and ask for some of the money back before their original check bounces. You will notice the amount on the check is greater than that mentioned in the email. If you are of a certain age and fan of the movies, you may recognize the authorizing signature. Thanks to Jayme B. at the Charleton branch for responding.

By calling Savers Bank, we were able to confirm our worst suspicions about the check, and none of the Pyrs' funds were lost. We have contacted both companies and reported the fraud to the USPS, Google, and FTC.

We are posting this and sharing our experience because we don't have any reason to believe that we are unique. Are these same people sending checks to other animal rescues?

Like most animal rescues, we are volunteers. Every dog our rescue saves depends on the donations of those who share our love for the breed. Most of the funds donated to us come in small amounts from people who, like us, sacrifice to help these dogs.

To receive an unexpected nearly $5,000 donation had us over the moon. To find out that it was a scam that could have potentially cost us any amount of the rescue dogs' money -- funds we don't have to spare -- makes us mad. To be blunt, what kind of as***le steals from homeless and sick dogs? What kind of cruel monster does this to people who are struggling as it is to help as many dogs as we can on a shoestring? Rescuing dogs is hard enough without this bu****it.

Again, we are posting this because we don't want other rescues to be scammed. Please share.

May the as***le(s) responsible for this have the day they deserve.

Happy !

Today's good news to share is that Xena and Scotty, who came into the rescue separately and became BFFFs (that's best fluffy friends furever), will be adopted together. They will stay at the rescue until Xena completes treatment for heartworms and leave together next month.

Have you ever considered adopting a bonded pair? Pyrs are social dogs, and most thrive with other dogs when matched appropriately. Some Pyrs at the rescue are so deeply bonded that we place them in homes together. Check out our current bonded pairs!
