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.

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.

Kai

Bull Arab x Kelpie

Looking for love

Kai is an active Kelpie x Bull Arab pup. He is an intelligent, playful and loving boy who wants nothing more than a good cuddle. Kai has been raised with kids and loves when visitors come over. He is showered with affection and is a very loyal boy. Kai has been attending obedience classes since a pup, and his socialisation is terrific, however work on leash, his recall and performing commands in a 'real life' setting are still things he needs to work on. He is crate trained, travels excellently in the car and is going great with toilet training. Kai previously lived with chickens, however this was not a suitable housing arrangement. He was therefore surrendered to us and will need to go to a home with no small animals. Kai will require an active family with at least one desexed, balanced and equally active adult dog to learn from and keep him company when left alone. He currently lives with other dogs and has proven to be very respectful of the older dogs, while loving a good wrestle and run around with the younger ones. He is very active, so ensuring this boy gets enough physical and mental stimulation as he grows will be essential in preventing boredom and the development of destructive behaviours. Once he is fully grown, he may even like going on bike rides and jogs with his new owner. He enjoys a good chew on something at this age, so make sure you have enough toys on hand! Kai may benefit from going to continued obedience classes to help socialise him with both people and dogs in a controlled and safe environment, helping him to become a happy, confident and obedient adult dog. If you would like to learn more about this energetic boy, we would love to hear from you! Kai is located in Ballarat.

Marji

Staffy Mix

Looking for love

This special lady is Marji. Marji came to us with her three adorable babies. She has been a wonderful mum and has shown a lot of love and affection towards her precious little ones. It is now Marji's turn to find her own family where she can receive all the care and pampering she deserves. She loves people and will be a very loyal new family member. We are unsure how much socialisation Marji had with other dogs before she came into our care. She has seen a couple from a distance while she has been with us and has been quite unsure. This could also be due to the fact that she has her pups that she needs to protect so would prefer other dogs stay away. We will be happy to support some form of training for Marji in her new home if necessary to help her adapt to her new home and learn that another dog could be a great companion for her. For the time being, we believe she would be best suited to a home as an only dog but will have the opportunity to have her people with her for a lot of time throughout the day to prevent her feeling lonely. This sweet girl is very loving and devoted to her people and really aims to please. She would be well suited to a home where her family have experience with her breed and can offer her the time and patience she will need to adjust and learn what is expected from her. We are unsure what other breeds she may be mixed with (possibly Mastiff). She is a medium size. She is very affectionate and really just wants to be loved. Marji is currently living an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. She gets to spend time indoors with her foster family and knows she is a very important member of the family. She would love a home with a good sized yard where she will have lots of room to run and burn off some of her stored up energy. Daily walks will also be a great way for her to receive regular exercise and get to know her new leaders. Being out and about to see new things will be a great way for her to continue developing her social skills but dog parks will not be suitable. Marji will be best suited to a home without young children as she has not been around them while she has been in our care. She shows a lot of interest in cats and other small animals so she will be happiest in a home with no other pets. However, considering she is such an affectionate girl, she would love to have human company throughout the day so she doesn't become lonely. If you would like to know more about this special girl, please send us an enquiry and we will be in touch shortly. Marji is currently located in Cheltenham, VIC

Sampson

Mastiff x Staffy Mix

Happy boy

Sampson is a loving, handsome and friendly Staffy mix. Gorgeous Sampson is looking for a wonderful home with people experienced with dogs who can offer him the time he needs to boost his confidence and help him feel comfortable in new environments. He can be a little shy at first but once he gets to know you, he is extremely loyal and loves nothing more than being close to his special people. Sampson is total smooch and will seek out cuddles. He is still quite young and bouncy so a home with no very young children is necessary. He hasn't been around cats since he was a young pup, so we can't be sure exactly how he will interact with them so a home with no cats or small animals will be the best match for him. Sampson is an energetic guy who will need daily walks, and lots of mental stimulation/training each day to ensure that he doesn't become bored and/or destructive. He loves games and is happy to run all day. As previously mentioned, Sampson really loves other dogs and will need to have an equally active, desexed doggy companion in his new home. Someone who likes to run, play and have a bit of a wrestle will be a great match for him. He won't cope well as an only dog, so we will only be considering enquiries from families with a confident dog already in the home to offer Sampson the guidance he needs to help him settle in. Considering how active and playful Sampson is, he will be looking for a home with a good sized yard where he will have plenty of room to move and stretch his legs. High fencing and gates will also be important to ensure he is safe and secure while he is settling into his new environment. If you are interested in this lovely natured boy, please send us an enquiry with a little detail about what kind of lifestyle you can offer him :) Sampson is currently located in Lynbrook, Victoria

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.
