Pyrenees Animal Rescue

About

We are a group who take in animals as private surrenders or animals at risk in the pound system. Using a network of foster carers we aim to save as many lives as possible and place these animals into permanent loving homes.

Adoption details

If you think one of our animals would be a good match for your home please email us and we will be in touch shortly after. We all work fulltime, have families and other commitments so your patience is appreciated.
We do require any other dogs in your home meeting our foster animal before they head home with you. This enables us to assess their compatibility and helps prevent them being returned and creating more confusion/insecurities for the foster animal.
All our animals are available for a two week trial with full refund. They are also covered by a lifetime return policy. If you ever find yourself unable to care for or keep your pet please contact us and they will come back into our care, this is a condition of our Adoptions.

Ollie

Jack Russell Terrier x Maltese Mix

Lovable character

Adorable little Ollie is now ready to find his new home. Ollie is an affectionate little boy who is comfortable around new people once he has had time to feel relaxed and would prefer to be in a calm, quiet environment. This little cutie loves his cuddles and being close but is not considered to be clingy. He can entertain himself but is very happy when his family return home. Ollie is a delightful and happy little boy who is toilet trained and enjoys being inside to share his company with his people. He would also be very pleased to be offered his own special place on your bed or sofa. Ollie's foster carers say he is a very good boy and has shown no nuisance behaviour in the weeks he has been in their home. He has had no issue sharing his home with children in the past but we feel he will be best suited to a home with a family with older children/grandchildren. Ollie will be looking for a home as an only pet. He prefers not to share his space with other dogs. A home where his people will be home to devote time to him throughout the day will be ideal for him to receive all the company he deserves. Ollie is quite laid back. Considering he is only small and low energy, short walks will be enough to keep Ollie fit and healthy. Please send us a message if you think you have the attentive type of home we are seeking for this very sweet, friendly and handsome man. Currently in care in Lara, Victoria.

Carlos

Boxer Mix

Looking for love

Carlos is a friendy and loyal young man. This gorgeous boy aims to please. He is looking for a home where unconditional love will be offered in return for his love and loyalty. We would like to find a home for Carlos where he will be welcomed inside to spend lots of time with his special people. He loves the companionship of being close to his people and wants a home where he can sleep inside. He is toilet trained and can hold on overnight. Carlos is crate trained but would be extremely happy to have a human's bed to share. He feels the extreme weather so being an inside/outside dog is a must. Carlos enjoys his car rides and being out, meeting new people and taking in new sights and smells. He enjoys a walk most days but also loves his down times. Time will help him gain trust in his new people so he learns they will keep him safe when he is feeling unsure. A controlled environment where he will not feel anxious or overwhelmed will be best for him. He has auto sit and lay on lead when he has stopped walking. He walks really well on a long lead and has really good recall. He is very in tune to his people and always enjoys praise for being a good boy. Carlos very rarely barks. He is a quick learner and is very food motivated. He will sit, lay and stay and will also wait at doors and gates. Carlos came to us from a rural pound and although he tries really hard to be a good boy, we can see that sadly, he has missed out of some very important social skills. Due to the lack of training and discipline he received while he was young, he is an overly confident dog who needs clear, consistent rules. An experienced dog owner or someone dedicated to obedience training will be an important requirement. Unfortunately he is confused on how to interact with other dogs so he won’t get to the stage of visiting a dog park or having a doggy friend but is good if he sees them on a lead. He will need structure and boundaries in every day routines. Not allowing him out/inside until he sits and waits etc are good ways to help him learn who is the leader and that rules must be followed. Considering Carlos will be best suited to a home as an only dog, he will be wanting a home where his people will be around a lot of the time. He is only young and will require lots of company and stimulation to prevent him becoming bored and destructive. Carlos does suffer from a lack of understanding when he wants something. All instructions are left behind for him to achieve what he desires. When left alone, he will get into mischief. If you are not looking, he will bench surf to find left over food and help himself to whatever is available. He is still learning safe games with humans. He gets very excited when playing with teddy’s and balls but this is what his training is up to. Carlos would still be suited to a family with older children (12+) or none at all. As he is crate trained, he is happy to be crated if there are to many visitors as he feels safe there. When Carlos is left he may bark or cry once or twice then settles. Some time will be needed to allow him the chance to settle in his new home and to understand that his important people will return home to him. Overall he fun sweet! He enjoys his humans and is willing to learn when it’s clear what is expected. Please contact us if you have the knowledge and experience we believe will be important to Carlos to help him flourish in his new home. Currently in care in Donald, Victoria

Spock And Khan

Guinea Pig

Waiting for their family

Meet Spock and Khan, Our handsome pair of Boar Guinea pigs. Spock and Khan love having each other's company. Spock is the more submissive and affectionate out of the two. He enjoys cuddles and pats from his humans. Khan is confident and a little more dominant. He has an adventurous nature and loves to explore the mysteries of dark corners! These 2 boys have been living in a large family and are used to be handled by children of all ages. They will fit in well with almost any family. If you are looking for a couple of family members to share your company with, Spock and Khan may be a good match for you. Guinea pigs are quite low maintenance. If they have a clean, safe enclosure with fresh water and lots of hay and greens to munch on, they are generally happy. Some piggies also enjoy toys to roll and chase around their room Currently in care in Ballarat, Victoria

Sandy

Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix

Loving and Energetic

Sandy is a gorgeous, intelligent and active ridgeback mix. She is quite tall and loves to run around with her foster siblings and stretch her legs. Sandy has quickly learnt her leash manners and loves our long morning walks. She has been brilliant with the kids she has met, she has not jumped up since being back in care and seems to be aware of her height and strength when being handled by children - she has been very gentle so far. She loves all the dogs in her foster home and is very respectful in giving the older ones their space, while also running around and playing with the younger puppies. A home wirh no cats or other small animals is necessary. She has a naturally more dominant personality, loves to please and requires good leadership. Sandy likes to sleep inside and loves her crate - as soon as I let her in at night, she heads straight for her room and into her crate. Sandy was only recently surrendered back to us but we feel she requires very little help from her foster home before being adoptable. She was reported to have problems with being left alone, so a home where she's with her people a lot of the time is needed. She is also learning to be calm while inside and that she must be invited onto the couches and beds, rather than claim them for her own. Sandy would benefit from an active lifestyle and environment. She likes to be apart of everyday activities and shows an interest in swimming, fetch and would be a terrific companion when riding the bike. I would love Sandy to have some room in her new home to stretch her legs and explore. Acreage would be great, however, we've been told that Sandy has a tendency to test the boundaries with sheep and other farm animals. A large yard with an active family (with good leadership skills) in the suburbs may be best. In Sandy's previous home she was known to be a keen escape artist when left at home so we will be looking for a home with very secure fences, perhaps colour bond/wooden to discourage climbing, and/or the willingness to add a device such as a 'coyote roller' to an already existing fence. Sandy would benefit from having a male, desexed doggy companion with similar activity levels and a more laid back personality in her new home, to provide her with entertainment when left alone, and to help her settle in. Sandy and the other dogs in her foster home enjoy a hike in the morning, sleep all afternoon and a good game of chase in the evenings. If you would like to learn more about Sandy, or believe she might be the right fit for your family, we would love to hear from you! Sandy is located in Ballarat.

Sarah

Cocker Spaniel, American x Poodle Mix

Looking for love

Sarah is another one of our special fosters looking for a specific type of home. She will need a family who are prepared to understand her needs and offer her time to settle in and feel safe. Sarah is extremely energetic, loving and loyal once she gets to know and trust you, you will have a sweet little companion who will happily follow you everywhere. Sarah really enjoys being indoors. She is toilet trained and loves sleeping inside curled up under a blanket. We have found Sarah to be a little dominant towards the more submissive dogs and is best suited to a home with a larger, calm and balanced, MALE dog as a companion. Considering she can be nervous and her move will be unsettling for her, we believe a canine 'boy friend' will be the best option to help Sarah settle into her new environment. This decision has been made in Sarah's best interest. Sarah enjoys her walks and visiting new places. Her leash manners are very good and she will benefit well from continued obedience training to help her and her new family create a trusting bond. Unfortunately Sarah displayed quite aggressive behaviour towards men as an outcome of a type of resource guarding over the women in her previous home. Since coming into care, she has learnt that this is not necessary and as a result is now very friendly towards most people. It will be important for Sarah’s new family to understand that although she is small, she is not a toy. She does not like to be carried nor treated like a baby. She is not a fan of dress ups and is at her happiest when she is allowed to behave like a dog with her friends. Sarah came to us with a pre-existing limp. Our vets have since diagnosed this as an untreated fracture in her left elbow which has now fused incorrectly. To keep her comfortable, she will require daily pain medication and anti-inflammatories. She has already started this treatment under veterinary advice. We are happy to disclose all known information to her new family. Please see Medical notes for information on her medication. The perfect home for Sarah will be with a confident and well settled desexed male dog to help Sarah feel secure and continue developing her confidence in her new home. She would be happier if her humans did not work full time as she enjoys being their little shadow. Sarah is best suited to a home where there were no young children or other animals, besides her doggy friend in her forever home. The type of home we have described is the best outcome for Sarah and different situations for her will not be considered. Please contact us if you would like to enquire about this sweet young lady. Not for interstate adoption.
