Western Maine Great Pyrenees Rescue

Western Maine Great Pyrenees Rescue A new foster-based dog rescue formed to find quality homes for this great breed. They were originally bred in the Pyrean Mts. Most adapt easily to living inside.

WESTERN MAINE GREAT PYRENEES RESCUE is a new foster based dog rescue formed with the intention of finding quality homes for this wonderful breed. While many people are well aware of the plight of homeless and unwanted dogs in the southern US, The Pyrenees suffers additionally in the heat of the south due to the amount of hair that they have. between France and Spain as a Livestock guardian Dog. Th

ey thrive in New England's climate, loving snow and winter much more than summer's heat. Because they were bred to do their job without a lot of human input, they tend to be independent thinkers with a serious demeanor. But they are also gentle dogs who are devoted to their human family and protective when the need arises. WMGPR will rehome Pyrs in need from anywhere, but will focus on bringing dogs north from Mississippi. We are licensed by the state of Maine and will adopt to approved homes in ME and NH. We plan to stay small in the number of dogs we have at one time. This will allow each Pyrenees to have individual attention in a home/farm setting. This will allow the dog to develop the skills it will need to have a successful adoption, and hopefully, a forever home.

Had an update from Teton and Jay. Teton was taken in with a poodle by Carolina POODLE Rescue a few summers back. Elderly owners, no provisions made for either dog, you know this drill. He came to Maine but he was not a dog that handled change well. He had lived his entire life with his people, only to find he was now living with a bunch of poodles of varying sizes. He was sad and stubborn when he arrived in Maine. I knew that whoever he went to was going to have to do a little work on their end. Teton had 3 visits with Jay before he decided Jay was alright, and he never looked back.

Jay and Teton took a trip to Canada recently and send some pics from their camping trip thru Canada. Thank you Jay, he truly is a happy boy with you.!

So true....everyone can do a little something. For example, if you can't foster, thats fine, can you pick up a dog from the vets and drive it back instead? Can you do a one time shipment of a specific kind of dog food? Any rescue would appreciate that, Im sure.

If you think one person can't make a difference, ask the dog who got a second chance. Every rescued animal is a win against a world that too often looks away. Your time, your donation, your voice-they all matter. Rescue is powered by ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
You make the difference!

Maggie wants to thank everyone who has donated something for this Sunday's "Pet Rock in the Park"! The raffle basket will be full of cool doggie themed things for some lucky person and the money raised goes to the "Shiloh Fund" which pays for heartworm positive dogs to be treated and cured so they can come to Maine. WMGPR has paid for the treatment for 2 dogs in 2026, Denali and Gusto, both in Mississippi. It runs from 11 to 3, its in Deering Oaks Park in the Big Portland, admission is free, and it is one big dog party, so stop by and say hello! There is great live music and I hear the food trucks have some worthwhile eats as well.

Buddy, now Siggy came up from MS earlier this summer after an extended stay down there with Chrissy Cheshire. He was a child of the streets that was sort of being cared for by people who were basically feeding him, but that was all. He needed hearyworm treatment and he had skin and ear issues as well. He finally made the trip to Maine and has landed with his happily ever after with Lisa. Here they are enjoying the Brewer Riverwalk, that runs along the Penobscot River. Love your happy face, Siggy!

It took awhile, but it finally dawned on the puppies that the things I have been throwing at them since they got here are TOYS !

Took the puppies with me to feed the horses and the chickens. That took WAY longer than it should have, lol.
