Jeeves
Dear
GPRGC,
his
is
a
picture
of
Jeeves
(he
was
"Randy"
when
we
adopted
him
2
years
ago)
at
Christmas
2011.
This
is
the
adorable
look
he
gives
you
if
you
stop
petting
him!
It
is
totally
irresistible
and
completely
effective,
so
people
pet
him
a
lot.
Everyone
loves
Jeeves!
Our
family,
friends,
neighbors,
and
complete
strangers
adore
him.
I'm
not
exaggerating.
He
charms
the
socks
off
of
anyone
he
meets.
His
gentleness
is
evident
to
children
especially.
They
flock
to
him,
and
he
loves
every
moment.
While
we
are
sure
the
neighbors
are
happy
that
we
adopted
him,
their
pleasure
cannot
match
our
happiness
and
gratitude
for
the
chance
to
have
such
a
noble
dog
in
our
family.
Jeeves
is
the
perfect
match
for
our
family
and
has
become
absolutely
essential
in
our
day
to
day
lives.
My
husband
has
a
disability
that
has
worsened
considerably.
Jeeves
has
responded
by
instinctively
being
a
perfect
therapy
dog.
Each
day,
as
the
kids
leave
for
school
and
I
leave
for
work,
I
am
not
leaving
my
husband
alone.
I
am
leaving
him
with
a
kind
and
attentive
friend
who
is
clearly
a
tremendous
example
of
his
breed.
Thank
you
for
entrusting
us
with
the
care
of
Jeeves.
The
only
problem
I
have
is
that
many
people
offer
to
take
him
from
me!
Even
my
own
father-in-law
threatens
dog
theft.
Don't
worry,
we
are
ever
vigilant,
and
Jeeves
will
be
with
us
for
good!
Sincerely,
The
Yandell
Family

Hero
We
adopted
Hero
on
June
14,
2010
on
an
overcast
and
cool
day,
but
had
met
him
on
a
visit
about
a
month
earlier.
From
the
moment
we
laid
eyes
on
Hero,
we
knew
that
he
was
supposed
to
come
home
with
us!
And
when
the
day
came
to
pick
him
up,
he
jumped
right
in
our
car
and
began
licking
our
hands
and
faces
from
the
back
seat
as
though
he
had
known
us
forever.
Hero
has
been
a
real
joy
from
the
beginning.
We
had
wanted
a
dog
for
a
very
long
time
and
feel
like
we
had
been
waiting
for
him!
He
and
our
cat
Desdemona
get
along
so
well
—
we
had
been
worried
about
how
they
would
do
together,
but
Hero
has
always
been
a
gentleman
to
her,
and
we
find
them
often
asleep
side
by
side
on
our
bed!
Hero
is
a
big
cuddlebug,
and
thinks
he
weighs
about
six
pounds
instead
of
100.
He
is
our
"alarm
clock"
in
the
morning,
and
climbs
in
our
bed
at
the
same
time
every
day
to
wake
us.
He
is
a
quiet
dog,
barking
very
rarely,
and
makes
a
sound
usually
only
in
the
morning,
a
stretching
groan!
He
has
already
traveled
with
us
by
car
to
the
East
Coast
and
back
twice,
for
a
summer
road
trip,
and
again
for
Christmas.
Both
times
he
has
been
surrounded
by
lots
of
people,
dogs
and
small
children,
and
has
been
loved
by
everybody
he
meets.
He
is
a
gentle
giant.
My
grandmother
has
taken
to
calling
him
"Prince
William
the
Magnificent"
after
their
visit
this
summer.
Hero
is
an
excellent
traveler,
and
is
always
eager
to
hop
in
the
car
for
a
ride.
He
is
well
loved
at
our
local
dog
park,
and
is
best
friends
with
a
shar-pei
named
Jackson,
who
he
loves
to
wrestle
with.
The
children
that
frequent
the
park
also
love
him,
and
he
is
ever
patient
with
their
attention.
We
are
so
grateful
to
Great
Pyrenees
Rescue
that
you
gave
us
the
gift
of
sweet
Hero.
He
has
brought
so
much
joy
into
our
lives,
and
every
day
we
are
grateful
to
have
such
a
sweet
soul
of
a
dog.
Many
thanks
again,
Emily
and
Lane,
Desdemona
and
Hero

Chloe
ADOPTED!
All
her
letters
to
Santa
paid
off.
Chloe
has
a
home
for
the
holidays!
Like
many
of
our
pyrs
Chloe
is
now
with
a
family
who
has
adopted
from
GPRGC
before.
UPDATE:
We
adopted
Chloe
on
December
11,
2009.
She
had
been
in
rescue
for
a
bit
over
6
months,
and
had
to
be
an
only
dog.
Since
we
only
have
one
dog
at
a
time,
we
felt
that
she
was
for
us.
She
was
probably
about
1½
years
old
at
the
time.
We
knew
that
we
were
hosting
a
couple
of
family
events
at
Christmas,
and
we
were
a
bit
concerned
about
this,
but
it
was
time
for
us
to
have
another
Pyr.
On
our
way
home
from
her
adoption,
we
stopped
for
a
while
in
the
shopping
district
at
Long
Grove.
While
Diane
looked
for
presents,
Chloe
and
I
walked
the
streets.
She
attracted
lots
of
attention,
and
was
a
great
ambassador
for
the
breed.
Since
then,
she
has
repeatedly
been
a
big
hit
there,
in
Geneva,
and
in
our
neighborhood.
hristmas
came,
and
a
bunch
of
relatives
—
including
a
baby
and
an
Irish
Setter
—
descended
on
the
house.
Chloe
was
quite
the
lady.
She
was
happy
to
see
all
of
the
people
(and
the
Setter),
and
quickly
settled
down
without
being
a
pest
at
dinner.
Since
then,
she
has
endeared
herself
into
our
lives.
Warm
or
cold,
she
spends
lots
of
time
in
our
fenced
yard,
barking
fiercely
at
any
person
or
dog
who
has
the
effrontery
to
walk
by.
She
looks
forward
to
her
daily
walk
(one
way
with
Diane
—
a
different
way
with
Chuck)
every
afternoon.
This
week
we
have
just
received
a
Dog
Friendly
Area
in
our
local
Chicago
park,
and
she
really
enjoys
saying
"HI"
to
the
other
dogs.
Most
recently,
Chloe
took
1st
Place
in
the
Edison
Park
(fun)
Dog
Show
as
"Largest
Dog",
and
finished
2nd
in
"Best
in
Show"
to
a
German
Shepherd
Rescue
who
had
quite
a
routine
with
a
soccer
ball
in
the
"Pet
Tricks"
category.
While
we
haven't
had
a
young
dog
in
about
20
years,
she
has
truly
been
a
joy,
albeit
an
active
joy!

Tasha was
an emergency foster from Joliet
Township Animal Control. The family
dumped their puppy after having
her for 2 weeks. She was too big
for their house! The shelter was
full so she came home to the Boyle
house, home of Pyr Rescue alumni
Hannah and Roz as well as Mona,
a Kuvasz and Bo a Bernese Mountain
Dog. As Tasha grew, it was clear
she wasn't a purebred Great Pyrenees,
but something else mixed in. Tasha
sailed through basic and intermediate
obedience class with the best
eye-contact and quickest recall
of any dog there. In the backyard.
She loves to retrieve the ball,
chase birds and squirrels (if
she could climb the tree, she
would) and has more energy than
any dog we've ever had. People
ask us what kind of retriever
we have. We think she’s a Golden
Pyr mix. Whatever the genetics,
she's lots of fun and keeps everyone
on their toes. What a wonderful
addition to our house.

Taffy and another Pyr
were found as strays in Will County before coming
to GPRGC. After she was evaluated at Marcy’s
kennel and spayed, Taffy was ready for a foster
home. She went to stay with long-time volunteers
and foster parents Donna and Randy Sybert and
their three dogs, Sam, Emmy and Cindy. Everyone
was so happy with the arrangement that Donna
and Randy decided to adopt Taffy and make her
a permanent part of their family. Since Pyrs
are a working breed, Taffy enjoys going to work
with Donna at her landscaping business.

Plato (formerly Yukon)
|
Many of you remember a dog we called
Yukon who was with us a long time because he
needed a home where he could have all the attention
to himself. We were so glad when Yukon found his forever
home and his special person. He is now named Plato
and lives in Chicago. His new mom, Susan Cho, says,
“Plato is a magnanimous, majestic, and marvelous dog.
I am so happy that he waited for me for a whole year.
Initially I wanted to adopt him a year before the actual
date of his adoption. It was just meant to be. I tell
people about rescue when they stop to talk to me. Thank
you.” We’d also like to say “Thank you” to Susan for
the time she spends at the kennel walking dogs who are
waiting for their forever homes.
