Death Row Giant Needs Help!

GPRS needs our help to take this beautiful boy out of the shelter – could you please chip in?

This handsome giant is in a Texas kill shelter right now.  Our rescue partners at Great Pyr Rescue Society of Houston would like to save him before he is killed, but they have no available fosters to take him.  That means that they will have to put him in boarding.  Boarding is expensive and they can’t afford it now.

They need our help to save him.  If we can raise $200, that should be enough to board him for a few weeks until a foster can be found.  He should be very adoptable, if we can give him a chance - lots of people love those badger markings.

He doesn’t have a name, so the first person to donate $40 can choose a name for him.

Please help if you can – he does not have much time left!

Thanks!

All donations go directly from Paypal to Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible. Please chip in - together we can save this one and many more!

Saving 48 Arkansas pups!

Could you chip in a little bit to support a rescue trip to save 48 (or more!) dogs? Each $6 donation saves a life!

Please chip in!

Our friends Connie and Dave are planning another trip next Tuesday.  They money we raise for them pays for gas.  They cannot do this without us!

Connie and Dave will transport at least 48 dogs for a poor rescue in Arkansas that can’t afford to feed them.  They will take the dogs to safety to Minnesota.

There is no better way I know to spend $6 than to save the life a little puppy or a stray dog.

The stray dog situation in parts of Arkansas is beyond desperate.  Connie and Dave are the only hope for so many dogs and puppies and your contributions really help - without gas money, the vans don't roll!

Connie and Dave regularly drive around and pick up doomed dogs from shelters in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. These dogs would likely be put to sleep if not for them.  Your donations literally make the difference as to whether there is enough gas money for these trips to happen or not and whether these dogs live or die- thanks for your support!

All donations go directly from Paypal to Save Our Strays, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible.

Traeh

Could you spare $5 to help save this stray boy?

 

Please Chip In!

Traheh is a big, beautiful, 4-year-old Great Pyrenees dog.  He was a lonely stray in Georgia, dirty, matted and starving.  A kind woman picked him up and our friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta, with our sponsorship, have taken him into foster care.  Poor Traeh is still 30 pounds or more underweight, from his days of starving on the road.  

Our sponsorship is helping GPRA to afford to vet, feed and foster him, while they find him a permanent family. They say that Traeh is an angelic as he looks in this picture - when he finds a new home, they are going to love him.

Please help save him by chipping in – even $5 is a big help.  Thanks!

All donations go directly from Paypal to Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible.  This rescue has done a wonderful job in saving the lives of hundreds of Great Pyrenees and GP mixes.  Your support of many of those dogs has been a huge help to them – your money helps keep them operating and saving doomed dogs.  Please chip in - together we can help save this one and many more!

Grace

Could you spare $5 to help this recycled girl?

Please Chip In!

This lovely two-year-old gyrl is Grace.  She ended up in a Georgia kill shelter but was lucky enough to be pulled from the shelter by farmers who hoped she would help on their farm with their goats.  Despite Grace’s impeccable Great Pyrenees heritage of livestock guarding, she flunked out as goat protector because she is afraid of goats!  That would be funny, except that it meant she was going to be returned to the kill shelter.

Luckily, with our sponsorship, Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta agreed to take her in.  Our sponsorship is helping them to afford to vet and foster her.

Please help save her by chipping in – even $5 is a big help.  Thanks!

Rose

Could you spare $5 to help this stray girl?

Please Chip In!

This lovely two-year-old gyrl is Rose.  She ended up in a Georgia kill shelter and no one wanted to adopt her, so she was scheduled to be put to sleep.  Well, that is why our group and the Great Pyr Resue of Atlanta exist.  With our sponsorship, Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta agreed to take her in.  Our sponsorship is helping them to afford to vet, feed and foster her.

Please help save her by chipping in – even $5 is a big help.  Thanks!

Everest

Emergency! [Update - thanks to your generosity, we have enough now!]

Could you spare $5 to help save this stray boy?

Please Chip In!

Everest is a 5-year-old Great Pyrenees dog.  He is in a kill shelter in Alabama and is due to die today.  We are part of a group that has pledged to contribute enough money to induce a rescue, Lifeline Animal Placement, to take him from the shelter today.  Our part is $150, but we need to contribute today.

If you can, please help save him by chipping in – even $5 is a big help.  Thanks!

Savannah

Could you give $5 to save this starved lady?

 

This lean giant is Savanah.  She is a Saint Bernard girl that was dumped at a kill shelter in Texas, sick and lonely. My guess is that she was too big to feed, so her owners left her to die.  She is severely underweight (at least 50 pounds) and needs an operation on an infected paw.  In that condition, no one wanted to adopt her and she ran out of time at the shelter.  With our sponsorship, she is being saved by the angels at Saint Cloud's Rescue.

Our donations will help to feed her (and she needs it!) and to pay for her medical bills.

Please chip in and help raise $125 for her using the ChipIn.

Recca and 40 Other Dogs

Could you chip in a little bit to support a rescue trip to save 40 (or more!) dogs? Each $7 donation saves a life!

Please chip in!

Our friends Connie and Dave are planning another trip.  I can’t match Connie for eloquence so here is her email to me:

Hi Michael,

We are again in need. We went to MN on the 7th with 52 dogs (18 puppies) and we just got back last night from Chicago (we had a pregnant dog ready to give birth) and we took another 19 puppies.

We have lined up another 40 plus to go next Friday the 23rd to Chicago. We are helping another rescue that we helped on the 7th. She has over 60 dogs and still more puppies.

Our transports are urgent now, mainly because of how fast the weather will start changing up north.

The other reason is that this rescue has little to no resources for food or vet care.

We will take as many as we can. Then we will make another trip the week of October 3rd, hopefully with all the rest of this rescue's animals.

Reeca is one of the ones that wants the chance to go for her home.

All the puppies that were transported to MN on the 7th have already been adopted.

Homes are waiting for these precious lives, we just have to get them there.

Any help, as always, will be most appreciated by Dave and me and of course the dogs and puppies that will get their chance for a home.

Thank you all so very much,

Connie and Dave

Ava

Could you please chip in $5 to help save Ava?

Please chip in!

This poor Great Pyr was a stray in rural Texas.  Ava survived long enough to be picked up by animal control and ended up in a kill shelter.  At the shelter, she became a great pal of Alva, a sweetie we sponsored last week.  She was to be executed within 24 hours, when, with our sponsorship, our friends at the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston took her in.   

Our sponsorship money will go toward vet bills and other costs of fostering her until a permanent home can be found.

Tiny

Could you spare $5 to help save this poor mangy boy?

Please Chip In!

The surprising thing about this picture is that Tiny was not a homeless stray picked up by animal control.  Instead, he had a home and some loser owners who couldn’t or wouldn’t feed him enough or give him basic medical care.  Dogs with mange this bad suffer horribly.  I find it hard to imagine how anyone could own a dog like this and not do whatever they could to help him.  Anyway, Tiny is in terrible shape.

To save him, our friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta, with our sponsorship, have taken him into foster care.  Our sponsorship is helping them to afford to vet and foster him, while they find him a permanent family. 

Please help save him by chipping in – even $5 is a big help.  Thanks!

Freedom

Could you please chip in $5 for this little Pyr girl?

Please chip in!

This poor, frightened girl is a young Great Pyrenees that was abandoned to the life of a stray in rural Texas.  She survived long enough to be picked up by animal control and ended up in a kill shelter.  She was scheduled to be killed after her three-day hold was up.  Although she is a sweetie with a heartbreaking, winsome, pleading look, nobody wanted to adopt her.  She was to be executed when, with our sponsorship, our friends at the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston took her in.   

Our sponsorship money will go toward vet bills and other costs of fostering her until a permanent home can be found.

The first person to donate $35 or more can have the pleasure of naming her! [Update - Lori Davenport, the first big donor, gave her the wonderful name of  "Freedom", in honor of those that died on or because of 9/11.]

Frances

Could you spare $5 to help save this sweet boy?

Please Chip In!

Francis is a beautiful biscuit Great Pyr.  Because he can't talk, we'll never know how he became a stray in Athens, Alabama.  He ended up in a kill shelter and waited to be adopted.  He waited and waited and no wanted him.  He was scheduled  to be destroyed.

At the last minute, to keep him from being destroyed in a kill shelter, our friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta, with our sponsorship, have taken him into foster care.  Our sponsorship is helping them to afford to vet and foster him, while they find him a permanent family.

Please help save him by chipping in – even $5 is a big help.  Thanks!

Akbash Puppies

Could you please chip in to help these little guys?

These pretty pups are Bella, Cloud, Blanche and Berry.  They are Akbash puppies (Turkish Great Pyrenees).  There owner dumped them in a high-kill shelter in Texas.  Our vigilant rescue coordinator, Reg Rand, spotted them on line and went into hyperdrive trying to find a rescue to take them before they caught some awful disease in the shelter or were put to sleep. 

As a favor to the Doomed Dogs for all the help we have given them, our wonderful friends Janet Davis of National Akbash Rescue and Carleen Conyers of National Anatolian Shepherd Rescue agreed to take these babies out of the shelter and put them into foster care.  So what goes around comes around – your previous donations to help National Akbash and NASR save dogs was a big help in getting them to save some dogs for us!

Of course, we are sponsoring these wonderful pups to pay for shots, food, etc. Please chip in and help raise $180 for them using the ChipIn.

All donations go directly from Paypal to National Anatolian Shepherd Rescue, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible. Please chip in - together we can help save this one and many more!

One note:  although these guys look like little Lab puppies, looks can be deceiving.  Although they have similar faces, a full grown Akbash will be about twice the size of normal Lab.  My old foster pup, AJ the Akbash Dog, now weighs in at 139 pounds and is still growing at 2 1/2 years old!

Chivas

Chivas is a little Great Pyrenees puppy.  He was headed for a kill shelter because his breeder couldn’t find a buyer for him.  Shelters are about the most dangerous places to put a puppy because puppies have little resistance to many canine diseases.  If the puppy doesn’t get sick, then unless an adopter comes forward, the puppy is killed by the shelter.

This awful story is repeated thousands or tens of thousands of times each year in our country.  Irresponsible breeders breed more dogs than they can sell – and the excess are put to sleep unless someone more responsible steps up to helpChivas is one of the lucky ones.  With our sponsorship, our friends at the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston took him in.  Our sponsorship money will go toward vet bills and other costs of fostering him until a permanent home can be found.

Karla

Could you please chip in $5 for this big girl?

Please chip in!

Karla is a sweet Great Pyrenees guardian dog.  She was dumped in a Texas kill shelter by her owners and so almost sure to be executed.  However, she had been abused by her owners and may be one of the few dogs ever whose life got better when she entered the shelter!  Although she is a beautiful dog, nobody wanted to adopt her.  She was to be executed when, with our sponsorship, our friends at the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston took her in.    

Our sponsorship money will go toward vet bills and other costs of fostering her until a permanent home can be found.
