Hello to all of TGPR applicants!
Our weekly newsletter is to remind you that you have been approved, or are pending approval, for adoption and the Pyr of your dreams is waiting in the wings for a new home.
Our newsletter also includes times and dates on our monthly "Meet and Greet" events, periodic parades in which Texas Great Pyrenees Rescue [TGPR] participates and other special events/ fund raising efforts where you can meet our adoptable dogs.

"The AKC Standard describes the Great Pyrenees as "strong willed, independent, and somewhat reserved, yet attentive, fearless, and loyal to his charges -- both human and animal."
A majestic-looking dog with a kindly, regal expression, the Great Pyrenees is calm, composed, and serious."
They are as serious in play as they are in work, adopting and molding themselves to the moods, desires, and even the very life of their human companions, through fair weather and foul, through leisure hours and hours fraught with danger, responsibility and extreme exertion.
They are the exemplification of gentleness and docility with those they know, of faithfulness and devotion for their master even to the point of self-sacrifice; and of courage in the protection of the flock placed in their care and of the ones they love.
To once own a Great Pyrenees
is to want one always!
