📣 Hello friends, as we move closer to #givingtuesday we thought you might want to know where your next donation will go. Meet Otto! 🐶 Otto is one of our 2-year 10 month old “special needs” dogs who hasn’t been in the limelight as he’s dealing with all sorts of challenges! We acquired Otto and his wonderful foster family at the inception of our rescue. He was pulled from an Oswell, NM shelter and it was clear then there was something wrong as he had a “strange gait.” With x-rays his hips proved to be “very good” but other things began to surface. Next it was a potential neuromuscular disorder and anxiety. He engaged in PT and a diet change to add muscle so we could get him ready for his neuter. Otto was diagnosed with “Cryptochidism” where one of his testicles failed to descend into the scrotum. Unfortunately, this surgery did not end well as the vet was unable to find the retained testicle. 😢 Since the surgery Otto has had some increasingly concerning symptoms, including a tremor and inability to sleep at night, keeping his foster family awake. The next step seems daunting for this poor boy and our dedicated foster family; a MRI and spinal tap. As volunteers we sign a contract committing to our values, one is STEWARDSHIP meaning effectively managing the resources for the benefit of the dogs we help. As a result, we have done our due diligence and sought out several opinions from vets we trust as well as a psychiatrist knowledgeable in medications for dogs with anxiety. The vets concurred that with his symptoms a MRI and spinal tap are warranted in Otto’s case. We also sought out two estimates with trusted specialists and the estimate we’ve added here is the lowest for the service. Otto is scheduled for his appointment on 11/30/2021 which is also #givingtuesday! Can you help us help Otto? If you would like to donate even $5 that would help! Find our linktr.ee in our bio 👆🏽and click on the link to our #givingtuesday campaign. Stay tuned as we check in with Otto before his appointment to wish him well. As always, thank you for your support! #greatpyrsandpawsrescue #adoptdontshop #fosterapyr #longtermmedicalfoster #whatsyoursuperpower
Saturday Sweetness with another Pupdate🐶 from a happy rescue pup🐶, Vonn and adopter, Melissa.
These once abandoned dogs are in their loving forever homes🏡 because of our volunteers💜 and funds donated from people like you💙. These updates are also good reminders why #givingtuesday is so important. Community support is vital to helping these dogs🐕🐕. So this Tuesday November 30th, please think about a donation to GPPR. We (and the Pyrs we serve) are forever grateful for your assistance❤and kindness💚!
"Pupdate! We have had Vonn (formerly Iris) for a little over a year and she has grown to be such a sweet girl. ❤️ She insists on protecting her "sheep" (aka, the family) and recently I injured my knee. Since late August she's been stuck to my side as I have healed from the injury and the subsequent surgery I had to have. Before we considered adopting a Pyr we didn't even know much about the breed. We researched a ton and made the decision to welcome her in to our family...but she has taught us so much about the breed. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. 🥰"

Welcome Poseidon🐾 and Persephone🐾. We got these adorable little nuggets earlier this week after they were dumped in Cleveland, TX 😡. They are only 6 months old.
Poseidon🐶(M) is gentle and loving, already mastering the Pyr paw! Persephone🐶(F) (Percy for short) has a big personality and is sassy and sweet!!
Please, please, if you can foster one of these babies🐶🐶, it would be wonderful to get them out of boarding. They are healthy and just need spay/neuter!
Current fosters, contact us if you can take one. If you would like to become a foster please fill out our volunteer application https://www.greatpyrsandpaws.org/forms/form?formid=5961

We made it to Friday🎉 and deserve some good news going into the weekend. We love❤ hearing from our adopters, and here is a Pupdate from the handsome Anatolian, Colton (who is now Charlie).
"It's Charlie's (fka Colton) 1 year adoptiversary (on November 1st)! We love this goofball so much! He has a very playful, goofy personality. He winks at just the right times and can wiggle his eyebrows. Charlie has a lot of energy and has brought a lot of laughter and fun into our lives. Charlie is very smart and we've been working on increasing his confidence and building his social skills. We are very excited to have added Charlie to our family. Well, the cats may not be as excited as the rest of us.😂"

✨❤️ From an sleepy town in WA, Bonnie and Ranger are looking for their forever homes. What could be better than 1 Great Pyrenees you ask ? Well, if you are really up for a challenge, 2 are always better than 1 !!❤️ 1.5 year old Bonnie loves her foster parents and makes keeping watch over them her number 1 priority ! She loves her people, but can be shy with strangers. She would do best as an only dog or could be adopted with the gentle GIANT Ranger, she is fostered with ! ❤️ while, we’re talking about Ranger, he is a leggy and a 1.5 year old sweetie who is friendly and active. This boy loves outdoor activities, and would love a family who likes to hike, walk or run. Ranger is also doggy selective, and would do best as an only dog or could be adopted with his foster sister, Bonnie. Both of these fluffy bears are #adoptable through the website and fostered in WA. If you are looking for fun, and a house full of fluff, go tot he website to learn more ! ❤️ www.greatpyrsandpaws.org #adopt#doglovers#greatpyrenees#rescue #foster#adoptdontshop#bark#livelovebark #greatpyrsandpawsrescue
We have only one adoption announcement this week, but it's a big one. The one☝ and only Lenny has found his forever home🏡! His family is smitten, and we can't help feeling overwhelmingly happy for this special boy.
It has been a long road for this guy, and only with the help of volunteers❤, fosters💜, and financial supporters💙 was his happy ending possible! His case is a great example of the importance of supporting events like #givingtuesday.
Swipe to see pictures of Lenny🐶 at his forever home and read his pupdate from his new pyr-rents below! Thank you all for showing #loveforlenny
"Lenny is doing so great! He's the perfect addition to our family. He lays at my feet while I'm working during the day and he really enjoys our walks. He's also really enjoying car rides-lots of smiles! He and Samson are getting along great-they sleep together and like running around in the backyard together-they have become good friends. His personality is coming out more & more-his expressions are so telling! :) He is a wonderful boy and we are so thankful for him!
Happy Parents of Lenny,
Amanda & Bill"
