Angel - New to Rescue - Small Sweet Girl - Medical Foster Needed

Angel was found as a stray with Charlie the puppy, and not reclaimed from the shelter. Angel is a smaller girl about 50 lbs. She is a very cute little demure girl who needs some help building her self-esteem. She is doing great learning commands and walking on a leash. Angel has heartworm, as well as Lyme disease and Erlichia, and is being treated for all. She would really appreciate a calm, quiet foster home where she can recover for the next few months, or in a forever home. She does well with other dogs. She is unproven with cats. Based on her calm demeanor, she seems like she would be fine with cats. Angel came to us with a pretty rough looking coat, but she has enjoyed being brushed and doted over, and looks and feels so much better since she was groomed, thanks to a kind supporter, who paid for her groom. We recommend obedience training for all newly adopted pyrs, to help you create a special bond with you and your new friend, and so you have a well-behaved canine. Great Pyrenees are willing to learn, but are not as eager to comply with commands as much as other breeds. They are bred to be independent thinkers. Applicants must be over 25, own their own home and all children in household must be over 12 years old. Your resident pets must be up to date on vaccines, sterilized, you must have a good history of vet care for them for the past two years, and you must have used heartworm preventative year round for your dogs and be able to provide proof of purchase. Angel will be placed as an inside pet with outside privileges. You MUST have a securely fenced yard accessible from your home. Invisible fencing does not work with this breed and they will take the shock for the freedom. Great Pyrenees are bred to roam and will create their own territory if not secured, which can led to them being lost, hit by vehicles or shot by people who see them as a threat. The breed is not a good off leash dog, and cannot be trusted to not run away. A Great Pyrenees off leash is a " DisAPyr." If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please complete the appropriate application on our website, www.igpr.org under the Adopt tab. All of our dogs marked as needing foster homes are also available for adoption. If a dog is listed on this site, it is available. No need to contact us to see if it is, We do require you complete the adoption application prior to meeting a dog. We also offer a foster to adopt program. You foster the dog, and have first right of refusal on them if an approved application is submitted for them. In fostering a dog, the dog comes to you up to date on vaccines, You may need to transport the dog for follow up vaccines and for sterilization, based on their age. You provide good quality food, grooming, and we provide the heartworm preventative and medical care, if needed* .(*Based on approval from IGPR.) If you are adopting, we cannot guarantee your dog will be groomed prior to you taking them home. We do offer a two week trial period, in which either party, has the right to cancel the adoption. A $100 non refundable deposit is required prior to you taking the dog. Any veterinary expenses you incur during the trial period is your responsibility, if you do not notify us prior to a vet visit that the dog needs veterinary care. You may request the dog you are adopting be groomed at your expense, prior to picking them up. This can delay the trial period with the dog based on the availability of getting the dog an appointment with a groomer. Adoption fee is $400
