Meet Irene, now known as Phoebe Daisy Mae!

Phoebe is a big, sweet, beautiful puppy, born April 21, 2025. She’s an affectionate, loving girl with a big heart and an equally big personality.

Phoebe is fully crate trained and does wonderfully — she sleeps through the night without a peep and will even choose her crate for naps. She takes her “guardian duties” seriously and will happily alert you to visitors, delivery drivers, dogs passing by, or anything she thinks might need your attention.

This sweet girl loves comfort just as much as activity. A soft couch, a cozy dog bed in the bedroom, or sleeping near her people would be a dream come true for her. She thrives on affection and cuddles.

Phoebe is very active and plays hard, so she needs one or two large, young, playful canine companions to help burn off energy and prevent boredom. In her foster home, she does great as part of a big pack of active male and female dogs, though she does need a home without cats. When she’s properly exercised and mentally stimulated, she’s an absolute joy — boredom is when she’s most likely to get into mischief.

Because of her size and energy level, Phoebe requires a securely fenced yard with a 6-foot fence to keep her safe. She loves the dog park and does well with both male and female dogs. As she matures, a large, friendly male companion may be an ideal match.

Phoebe will come when called when it’s time to go back inside (though this does not yet equal full recall), and she must remain leashed when away from home. She loves walks and does great on the leash, with no reactivity to other dogs. She has not been around young children, so a home with respectful older kids would be best. Phoebe would thrive in a home where someone is home more often than not and can continue to meet her physical and emotional needs.

Her new family must be committed to continuing her education through positive, reward-based training outside the home to help her grow into the best version of herself.

PUPPIES ARE ONLY PLACED IN HOMES WITH YOUTHFUL, PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOGS WHO ARE AT LEAST 50 POUNDS.

Our requirements for puppy adoptions are simple and necessary.

  1. Our puppies are not livestock guardians, they are family pets that live inside of the family home.
  2. Puppies must be placed in homes with a youthful, adult resident dog of similar size. This gives the puppy a mentor and a solid foundation for becoming part of the family.
  3. Puppies are only adopted to homes with someone at home at least part of the day. If no one is home for 6-8 hours at a time, please do not apply.
  4. Preference is always given to those with Great Pyrenees experience.
  5. Applicants must have secure, visible fencing and a socialization plan in place.
  6. The fastest way to be considered for a puppy is to fill out an application. Adoption is not first come, first served. GPRS and its fosters work diligently to find the right fit for each and every unique dog and puppy.
  7. Applicant’s personal pets must be current on vaccines & heartworm/flea prevention and be altered.

Adoption fee: $450 (Adoption fee includes spay or neuter, distemper/parvo vaccines, flea preventative, deworming, and health certificate for travel). Adopters pay the cost of transport services outside of Texas area. Transport costs depend on location and company used. Northeast transport fee is $200. The Northwest and Midwest transport fees range from $225-$350. The Southeast transport fees range from $250-$350.

GPRS has proudly placed thousands of Great Pyrenees and GP mixes in the PNW for over a decade. Our volunteers have over 100 years combined experience fostering, screening, and placing this majestic breed into loving, forever homes. When adopting from us, you can rest assured that we provide life-long support and advice when it comes to your new family member. As always, our purpose is to find the best match for every unique dog that comes through our doors. Taking the time to find the right fit comes first and foremost at the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society. If you are interested in adopting, please take the time, and apply. You will see firsthand how much care, attention and love goes into the process, when you are guided a personal screener. This is why we have people come back again and again for their next family member! See all our dogs, fill out an application and discover why we are the BEST at placing the right dog in the right home! https://gprs.rescuegroups.org/.

ADOPTION, FOSTERING, AND DONATIONS are just some of the ways you can help a rescued dog. We have worked hard to cultivate a large network of volunteers to save this majestic breed. While monetary donations are always much appreciated, you can also help by donating your time as a GPRS foster or volunteer.

FOSTER HERE: Apply to foster at dog at https://gprs.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=6281 .

VOLUNTEER HERE: Let us know your interests in helping our Pyr friends at https://gprs.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=6272.
