Great Pyrenees Rescue, Montana

Great Pyrenees Rescue, Montana 501(c)(3) rescue saving Great Pyrenees and Pyr mixes across Montana and PNW. Volunteer-run, with a kennel tech providing daily care at our Missoula facility.
(1)

We help abandoned pyrs find loving homes. Fees: Puppies $400, Adults $275, Seniors $100. We operate under the guidance and umbrella of National Great Pyrenees Rescue, a 501C3 non-profit organization and in 2023 became a 501C3 ourselves. There is an adoption fee on the dogs that come through our organization - even though we are all volunteers and do not receive pay, we have expenses for the dogs -

vet bills, transport is not always free, sometimes we provide feed for foster homes, even printer ink - but we keep everything to a minimum, including our adoption fees. Our "standard" fee is $275, it may be less for a dog who will require meds or is significantly older, would be more for a puppy, usually $400, etc. We do require adequate fencing - yes, these dogs like to roam - and that is the point of the fencing requirement.

๐Ÿก๐Ÿพ FOSTERS NEEDED โ€” MISSOULA & SURROUNDING AREAS ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿก

We are desperately in need of more foster homes throughout:

๐Ÿ“ Missoula
๐Ÿ“ Bitterroot Valley
๐Ÿ“ Helena
๐Ÿ“ Kalispell
๐Ÿ“ And surrounding Montana areas

Fosters are truly the backbone of rescue. Without foster homes, we cannot continue saying โ€œyesโ€ to dogs in need ๐Ÿ’”

Many of the dogs we take in simply need:
๐Ÿค A safe place to decompress
๐Ÿค Love and patience
๐Ÿค A couch to crash on
๐Ÿค Temporary care while waiting for adoption

Some are easy, happy-go-lucky dogs.
Some need a little extra support.
All of them deserve safety ๐Ÿพ

โœจ WE COVER APPROVED EXPENSES โœจ
Including food, vet care, medications, supplies, and support throughout the foster process.

And fostering truly changes lives.

๐Ÿ“ธ Picture featuring Bella & Sassy relaxing in their foster home ๐Ÿฅน These girls spent much of their lives without comfort or normal home life, and moving them into foster completely changed their world.

Whether you can foster for a few days, a few weeks, or longer โ€” it truly makes a difference.

๐Ÿค๐Ÿพ Why We Work With Rescues ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿค

At iKare Veterinary Service, we believe every pet deserves access to quality veterinary care, regardless of where they come from or what their past looks like.

Whether it's a puppy's first vaccines, a senior dog's dental procedure, a spay or neuter, surgery, ongoing medical care, or simply helping a nervous dog learn that people can be trusted again, we are honored to be part of their journey.

Our goal has always been simple: provide compassionate, honest veterinary care while treating every animal like our own.

Thank you to the rescues, fosters, volunteers, and adopters who work tirelessly to give these pets a second chance. We are grateful to stand alongside you. Great Pyrenees Rescue, Montana

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’› Punk Adoption Update! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿพ

This sweet girl went home this weekend and is already starting to settle into her new life beautifully. ๐Ÿฅน

Her new family has been taking her on walks with their other little dogs to help everyone bond, and it sounds like sheโ€™s doing amazing so far. She likes relaxing out on the deck and in the grass, and showing just how gentle and loving she really is to her new family.

๐Ÿšจ EMERGENCY FOSTER NEEDED โ€” BONDED PAIR ๐Ÿšจ

These two sweet dogs are in Mesquite, Nevada and urgently need help ๐Ÿ’”

Their owner was recently hospitalized and sadly will not be returning home. The hospice nurse reached out because their ownerโ€™s biggest concern right now is simply making sure her dogs are safe and cared for before she passes ๐Ÿฅบ

๐Ÿพ One male, one female
๐Ÿพ Littermates
๐Ÿพ Approximately 4 years old
๐Ÿพ Believed to be fixed
๐Ÿพ VERY sweet and sensitive dogs
๐Ÿพ MUST stay together

Right now, they have nowhere to go. We are willing to help transport them up, but we desperately need a foster willing to open their home to this bonded pair ๐Ÿค

Imagine losing your person and your home all at onceโ€ฆ these dogs are going through a massive life change and truly need stability, patience, and kindness right now.

๐Ÿ“ Currently in Nevada
๐Ÿš— Transport assistance available

Please reach out ASAP if you can help foster these two or even share this post to help us find them somewhere safe ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿค๐Ÿพ A HUGE THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED SAVE OBI-WAN ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿค

We want to take a moment to recognize some truly incredible people who stepped up for Obi-Wan before he ever made it to the United States ๐Ÿ’›

Thank you to:
๐Ÿพ Tails of Mana
๐Ÿพ Heather Howell
๐Ÿพ Lorenzo
๐Ÿพ Yolanda Escobar

These amazing humans helped rehabilitate Obi-Wan, transport him, get him veterinary care, house him, medicate him, advocate for him, and ultimately help get him safely from Tijuana, Mexico to the US ๐Ÿฅน

Without people like this working on the ground, dogs like Obi-Wan simply would not survive.

This photo was taken the day he was rescuedโ€ฆ and you can truly see the exhaustion in his eyes ๐Ÿ’”

Tijuana is overwhelmed with stray, abandoned, neglected, and suffering dogs. The need there is absolutely heartbreaking, and these individuals continue helping as many dogs as they possibly can despite limited resources.

They need support too.
๐Ÿพ Donors
๐Ÿพ Fosters
๐Ÿพ Volunteers
๐Ÿพ Supplies
๐Ÿพ Shares and awareness

Please go follow their pages, support their mission if you can, and show them some love ๐Ÿค

These are wonderful people doing emotionally exhausting work simply because they care deeply about animals and want to make a difference where they can.

Obi-Wanโ€™s story exists because people chose to help instead of look away ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’› Bella & Sassy Are Home ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿพ

After nearly 4 months in rescue, two of our longest residents have officially found the soft landing they deserved all along. ๐Ÿฅน

Bella and Sassy came to us from an extreme neglect situation โ€” physically, emotionally, and medically. Bellaโ€™s body showed years of being overlooked. She underwent multiple surgeries to remove cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, and through it all remained one of the sweetest girls imaginable. Now, sheโ€™s healthy, healing beautifully, spayed, and finally getting to experience comfort and peace. No more puppies. No more surviving. Just being loved. ๐Ÿ’›

Sassy has also been spayed and is slowly learning what life in a home looks like. Their adopter shared that Bella is absolutely loving sleeping inside, while Sassy is still a little nervous about coming through the door and prefers spending her days outside for now. And thatโ€™s okay โ€” dogs like these teach us that healing doesnโ€™t happen overnight.

What matters is they are safe.
They are loved.
And for the first time in a very long time, they get to simply be dogs. โค๏ธ

Happy tails, sweet girls. You both deserved this so much. ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿค NOT EVERY DOG IN RESCUE WAS โ€œABUSEDโ€ ๐Ÿค๐Ÿพ

This might surprise peopleโ€ฆ but not every dog that ends up in rescue came from a horrible home.

Sometimes life simply happens.

We see dogs surrendered because of:
๐Ÿ’” Medical emergencies
๐Ÿ’” Divorce
๐Ÿ’” Housing loss
๐Ÿ’” Death in the family
๐Ÿ’” Financial hardship
๐Ÿ’” Elderly owners no longer physically able to care for them

And honestly?
Many owners are absolutely heartbroken having to make that decision.

Not every surrender is because someone โ€œdidnโ€™t care.โ€ Sometimes surrendering a dog is actually someone trying to do the responsible thing when they know they can no longer provide the life that dog deserves.

Of course, we DO also see neglect and poor situations. But rescue is often far more complicated and emotional than people realize.

A little compassion can go a long way ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿค

We came back from the weekend and just saidโ€ฆ WOW. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿพ

You guys are truly amazing. Thank you SO much for all the donations that showed up for the dogs this weekend.

We received:
๐Ÿถ Dog food
๐Ÿ’Š Pill pockets
๐Ÿฆด Stuffed bones
๐Ÿฅซ SO much wet food
๐Ÿงป Paper towels
๐Ÿงผ Cleaning supplies
โ€ฆand so many other needed items.

Please know this support directly helps us care for the rescue dogs every single day, and we are so incredibly grateful. ๐Ÿ’›

Also โ€” all of the packages arrived without gift notes or names attached (Amazon has been doing this lately for some reason!), so we havenโ€™t been able to personally thank everyone individually.

So if you donated something recently: THANK YOU. Truly. ๐Ÿพ

๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿพ 59 DOGS ADOPTED IN 2026 SO FAR ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ‰

FIFTY NINE.

59 dogs who now have warm beds, full bellies, safe homes, and families who love them ๐Ÿค

Some came to us neglected.
Some medically complex.
Some scared.
Some overlooked for months.
Some only hours away from euthanasia.

And some?
Some were just happy-go-lucky goofy dogs who simply needed a second chance and the right people to find them ๐Ÿ’›

And now?
Theyโ€™re HOME ๐Ÿฅน

None of this happens without our incredible community โ€” our fosters, adopters, transporters, donors, volunteers, veterinary partners, and every single person who shares our posts and cheers these dogs on along the way ๐Ÿ’›

Rescue can be exhausting and heartbreaking at times, but moments like this remind us why we keep going.

59 lives changed already this yearโ€ฆ and weโ€™re just getting started ๐Ÿพ

Thank you for believing these dogs were worth saving ๐Ÿค

๐Ÿถ If youโ€™ve adopted from us this year, drop a photo update of your pup in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡
