Emily Orr's Fundraiser
My Appeal
Every dollar raised helps us save Great Pyrenees from high kill shelters, provide veterinary care to those that are sick or injured, and help them find loving adoptive homes. We often take dogs that need orthopedic surgeries due to injuries or birth defects, and this year we have taken in a number of these neediest cases. Last year, we rescued and placed almost 900 dogs and so far this year, we have had over 200 adoptions. But there are hundreds of other dogs waiting in shelters that need rescue and medical care. The funds you raise will help us move more dogs from high kill shelters, provide the care that is needed to those that are sick or injured, and give these dogs a chance for a loving family. We need YOUR help to SAVE MORE PYRS!

My Cause
The Mission: National Great Pyrenees Rescue is an all-volunteer, 501(C)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to facilitate the placement of unwanted, displaced and abandoned Great Pyrenees dogs into safe, caring companion homes and to help all dogs of Great Pyrenees origin find good homes across the country. We provide boarding, fostering, veterinary care, and breed education. Let’s all work together to SAVE MORE PYRS
About the Organization:
National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) is committed to saving and rehoming Great Pyrenees dogs and mixes in the U.S. and Canada. Founded in 2006, we have rescued and adoptively placed over 6,000 dogs through NGPR’s national network. We support Pyr rescue efforts across the country, encourage the start-up of new Pyr rescue groups and urge all Pyr rescuers to work together to save more Pyrs!
Why Great Pyrenees? Great Pyrenees are a beautiful, majestic breed with unique characteristics. Some of those unique characteristics, like their large size, frequent barking, and tendency to roam if not fenced or maintained on a leash, make them extremely vulnerable to being abandoned and destroyed. We rescue dogs from high kill shelters and provide them a second chance for love and a family. Our organization:
• Provides veterinary care, foster homes, and behavioral training so dogs can be adopted as companion animals.
• Organizes weekly transports to move dogs out of high kill areas.
• Underwrites costly medical expenditures for sick and injured dogs.
• Operates 800 shelter and adoption hotline numbers and an owner surrender program that assists Pyrs and Pyr owners throughout the United States.
• Educates the public about all aspects of the breed.
Our vision is for everyone who wants a Pyr or Pyr puppy to adopt a rescue Pyr so that we drastically reduce or eliminate the number of dogs abandoned or destroyed.
