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.

Ben and Gerri

Gerri Ben & Gerri Ben Ben

ADOPTION PENDING for Ben! Ben and Gerri, littermates, were found running loose in a rural area. After several days, the local animal control was able to catch them. No one came looking for them, so animal control called us. Ben and Gerri are approximately 7 months old, and love to ride in the car. They play well with each other, enjoy their toys and have been good puppies while in rescue. They still have a lot to learn; basic obedience and leash walking are new them. We are looking for patient, dedicated adopters who will take their puppy to at least two (2) formal obedience classes. In return, the owner will receive an abundance of puppy kisses and the devotion of a gentle giant.
