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.

Felicity

Bull Arab x Greyhound Mix

Super sweet!

Foster or Adopt. Felicity is finally ready for her next chapter 💖 Gorgeous Felicity loves everyone! She is so friendly and easy-going and nothing seems to phase her. She has a very sweet and gentle personality and can be a bit of a goofball at times and it is entertaining to watch her acting the clown. A few months ago, Felicity underwent surgery for cartlidge repair in both of her shoulders. She has now made a full recovery and the surgeon is extremely happy with her progress. Felicity has done all of her post operative rehabilitation and has now been given clearance to live a normal, active life. We are happy to disclose all information and pass all specialist notes on to her new family. Felicity is finally living a comfortable and pain-free life which is possibly something she has never experienced before in her short life. Even through all this stress, Felicity was the perfect patient and her foster mum is really proud of the way Felicity handled the situation. Her recovery has also included a huge amount of cuddles and love. In her foster home, Felicity has gotten along really well with the resident dog, other foster dogs and every dogs she has met on walks, visits etc. Felicity will be well suited to a home with a medium to large MALE canine companion. She has never been an only dog and considering her beautiful, social nature and the fact she always stays close by the other dogs in her foster home, we don't believe it would be fair on her to start her new life without a canine companion by her side. A home with children aged 5+ would be preferable. Felicity is extremely gentle towards children however, in her excitement, she could bump a small child over and NO CATS as she does enjoy running and chasing. Considering her size, she will love having room to move. A good sized yard where she will have the space she needs to stretch her long legs will be a must! This sweet lady loves to socialise so regular walks and exercise will be great for this social butterfly. Felicity is very relaxed with children, good in the bath, enjoys car trips , shows no food aggression, is very tolerant and loves to play. We were told Felicity is a Bull Arab and ourselves and the treating vet believe she could also be a mix of Greyhound. She is super fast, does love a good run and is then happy to flop in her favourite spot in the sun for a nap. She is such a smooch who will curl up on the sofa with you for cuddles. Felicity thinks she is a lap-dog and likes to be close to her special people to share lots of love and snuggles. Please share with your friends and contact us if you would like to know more about this extremely sweet girl.

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.

Nala

Mastiff Mix

Looking for love

This lovely girl is Nala Nala came to us as an adorable pup with very little social skills. She showed us that she was very smart and determined. Over time, she learned her commands and impressed her foster carer with her lovely manners. Nala was then adopted to a fantastic home where she had a wonderful upbringing, constant socialising and lots of love offered. Unfortunately, Nala has recently decided she is the boss and is making life rather unpleasant for the other dog in the home. She gets along really well with other dogs of similar size in social environments, parks etc but wants to be the alpha in her home. For this reason, we agree with her current owner that the best decision for everyone is that Nala needs to find an amazing new home full of love as an 'only dog'. Nala is very affectionate and full of love towards her people. She is very active and will require regular walks and outings to burn off lots of energy. She will be well suited to a home with a large backyard where she will have plenty of space to move. Being young, she loves her games and playtime with her people. Considering she is used to having a constant companion, Nala will do well in a home where her people will be home a lot of the time and can offer her lots of company to prevent her becoming bored and possibly destructive to create her own entertainment. Nala will be extremely happy if she is allowed to spend time inside for cuddles. She loves being inside to curl up on her bed and be close to her family. She is toilet trained and has very nice manners when she is indoors. While she has been in her new home, Nala has been receiving training and has had classes from behaviourists. She is very smart and aims to please. She can sometimes be a little strong willed so a home with a confident leader who is experienced with larger breed dogs will be an advantage. Considering Nala's energetic breed, she will be best suited to a home with no cats as she loves to chase moving things and a home with children aged 10+ will be best to avoid young children being knocked over while Nala is running/playing. Please contact us if you have any questions about this gorgeous girl and we will be in touch shortly Currently in care in Pakenham, Victoria

Duke

Tibetan Spaniel

Happy boy

This handsome boy is Duke! Duke is a happy-go-lucky boy with an independent personality and a quiet nature. He is happy to chill by himself, or with his people and doggie friends. He is good on a leash and doesn’t complain when left in the backyard, even when other dogs around him do. Duke can get excited about cats, but with some training he is now doing better around them. He has been in care with a large family and has been fine with the children in the home. This dignified dog is a lovely companion to have around, though he sometimes acts more like a cat than a dog! He is very easy going and doesn't seem to be fazed by much as long as he has his canine pals by his side. Duke was surrendered to us a couple of months ago with a lot of other dogs and has always lived in a large canine pack. For this reason, he will only be suitable to a home where he will have a desexed doggy companion of similar size and breed to share his days with. A home as an 'only dog' will not be an option for Duke. Duke is crate trained, and toilet trained and has nice manners when he is indoors. He sleeps inside every night and we would like to see him offered the same privileges of an indoor/outdoor lifestyle in his new home. Duke has a gorgeous long coat that will require regular brushing and occasional grooming to keep him looking his very best.

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
