Great Pyrenees Rescue of Greater Chicago

We can only consider applicants who live in Illinois, Southeast Wisconsin (Madison & Milwaukee south), or Northwest Indiana (South Bend & Rensselaer west).

We do not adopt dogs to families who live outside this geographical area and we do not "ship" rescue dogs. All applicants within this geographical area must be able to physically travel to northern Illinois to meet/adopt a rescue dog. We like to keep our rescue dogs near us for peace of mind and post-adoption follow-up. There are shelter dogs in every state dying for good homes, therefore it is not practical for us to go through extraordinary efforts to place a dog several hundred miles away. We do not make exceptions to this policy under any circumstances.

Mac

Mac is a gentle boy with an eager, happy personality. A volunteer who took him for a walk said, "He pulled on his leash when we started walking, but then settled into the walk. When you stop to pet him and talk to him he leans into you and enjoys the cuddles." Mac is almost pure white and very thin. He's on the small side for a Pyr, but at approximately 16 months he is still a puppy and has some growing to do. If you are interested in making Mac part of your family please fill out our adoption application.

Sylvia

Sylvia is a gentle, beautiful dog who loves to sit down during a walk and give you her paw. Then she looks soulfully into your eyes. This young girl, approximately 12-18 months, is pure white with a kind expression and "Cleopatra" eyes that look like she's wearing a lot of eyeliner. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Sylvia, please fill out our adoption application.
