Kids
...and chickens!

Sweet Asia made a LONG journey to safety, traveling all the way from Louisiana and settling in her foster home in Colorado on 6/14/15!

Bless her heart, she had some seriously embedded dew claws upon arrival, but foster mom got that all taken care of...it may not have been the most pleasant experience for anyone, but hey who could blame her (look at the size of that thing...OUCH)!  She did seem to be okay with the Dremel tool (for future reference)!

Asia could stand to put on a few pounds, but the good news is that she LOVES her food and treats, so we expect that she will be up to a good weight in no time!

She is good on the leash, pulls a little, but nothing a little practice can't fix!  She has met lots of other pups while walking on leash, and hasn't had any problems.  She likes to play with her ball sometimes, knows basics commands, and comes when called (for the most part...hey, she's a Pyr, can't be perfect all the time with recall :) ).

Asia spent most of her first years of life outside and was surrendered to rescue because she was consistently left unattended and escaped the fence.  With that said Asia has grown to LOVE people and is looking for a home with someone who will make her a priority and spoil her as all precious furbabies should be spoiled!

WHAT ASIA IS LOOKING FOR:
Asia and her current foster brother both want to be Alpha and it's just not a good match, so Asia is looking for a new foster OR furever home where she can either be an only dog or the Alpha girl.  Additionally, until she completes her Heart worm treatment, she will need to be on restricted activity so that she can heal properly without complications.

If you are interested in Fostering or Adopting this Precious girl, please fill out an application on the NGPR website!

It's exhausting being this adorable!

About NGPR: National Great Pyrenees Rescue (NGPR) is not a shelter. We are a not-for-profit, tax-exempt coalition of Pyr rescuers and rescue groups. We save Pyrs and Pyr mixes across the country and place them in approved foster homes so we know how they will interact with your family. Please consider adopting or fostering. Every dog who is fostered or adopted makes room for another Pyr coming out of a kill shelter. Prior to adoption, NGPR dogs are fostered for a minimum of two weeks (usually more), spayed or neutered and fully vetted. Dogs coming from out of area are certified with a USDA health certificate before going to their new homes. Our rescuers adhere to the highest placement standards and will take back any dog whose adoption does not succeed. Visit www.nationalpyr.org to learn more about us, our mission and our breed.
