Rescue Stories & Happy Endings
Some stories are about healing. Some are about trust. Some are about finding the one place a dog finally belongs.
Every Dog Leaves a Story Behind
Over the years, Great Pyrenees have come to us from shelters, families, highways, farms and situations where there seemed to be no good answer. Some needed surgery. Some needed time. Some needed an experienced person willing to look past a difficult history.
These are a few of the dogs—and people—who shaped this rescue.
Sullivan & Jezebel
Sullivan came with a serious bite history and almost nowhere left to go. Jezebel arrived with major medical needs. Their paths crossed in foster care—and the two became inseparable.
Daisy Mae
A phone call from an emergency hospital turned into a transport, an urgent orthopedic surgery and a network of people who came together over New Year’s to save her leg.
Genesis
He arrived labeled aggressive and suffering from severe chronic ear infections. With treatment, patience and the right adopter, Lincoln became Genesis—a new beginning for both dog and person.
Presley
Presley’s story crossed the country. Volunteers, rescuers and one extraordinary five-day drive brought him from California to North Carolina. He is not cured, and he is not a dog for a typical home. He is safe, managed, surrounded by dogs he trusts—and he is home.
Zeus
Zeus spent weeks wandering before a group of people finally managed to bring him to safety. What looked like a stray-dog rescue quickly became a serious medical case when he was diagnosed with advanced heartworm disease.
More Stories Are Coming
We are rebuilding this archive with the photographs, videos and firsthand memories behind the dogs. New stories will include foster families, medical recoveries, difficult cases and the people who refused to give up.
Because sometimes the happy ending isn’t adoption. Sometimes it’s finally finding where a dog belongs.
