Great Pyr info please.

Kim, I follow this blog. Maybe you can contact them to see if they can help get the word out or find someone to take her in? I follow it because in the end we did lose Babe to cancer and I love what he is doing.

Have you EMAILED the REGIONAL contact on this page, Terry S.? She may have a more sure fire way of contacting the listed contact for your state. Just a thought.

I responded to your other post, but I'll copy it here too - since it still kinda applies:

While stressing the urgancy of placing the dog is important - looking at this from a rescue point of view: repeat phone calls are annoying. And frustrating. If there's nothing I can do today - there's nothing I'll be able to do tomorrow. Most of your breed rescue groups are ALL volunteers...it may take them a day or two to call back. They may be reconfiguring their foster homes to see if they can fit her in...I'd give them a chance to call back, honestly. Email is great too - most of my rescue to rescue contact is through email - it's much easier to keep track of and follow than numerous phone calls.

I would try several different rescue groups - even try out of your state. Many rescue groups have foster homes out of state (I worked with a rescue in Texas, that had a foster home right in Tampa). I know there's a great GP rescue in FL somewhere, maybe GA. I could try and find their info for you too - you may be able to do a transport train to place her if no owner shows up.

Until you place her, I'd keep her outside where she is more comfortable. She may adjust to a crate too - most dogs like the close feel of the 'den' when they are nervous like she is.

 Gina I emailed her. Just waiting for a response.

Ok but I hate that she's out there alone and so scared/nervous. I dont have another crate big enough for her to fit in. So I will leave her back there. She has 2 dog houses she can sleep in and she has picked one of them over the other I have noticed.

I have posted requesting ideas and assistance on a Giant breed specific board I am on as well. I will let you know if I hear anything.

She'd probably be a lot more nervous in your house - with all the commotion and dogs running around.

If you can get some rescue remedy - you may want to add some to her food to help take off the edge a bit.

 Thanks Gina and Erica.

 How much should I feed her and what kind of food should she be eating?

another contact for you in Rescue...Barbara Mattson, Director of Nat'l Pyr rescue director@nationalpyr.org

She apparently is very helpful.

did you hear from the rescue contacts yet? I expect now that the holiday is over they might be more accessible?

 It depends on whether she's pet or working bred. Working bred LGDs do best on high protein/high fat formulas. I like Eagle Pack Power (you can get it with free shipping from K9 Cuisine).

Pet bred Pyrenees do just fine on the usual fare. They need plenty of omega-3s to keep their coat and skin in good condition and shedding to a dull roar.   The key is not trying to stop the shedding, but to keep them from shedding in globs that get matted up. Healthy skin drops dead hair at a steady, manageable rate, and healthy hair releases it with normal combing/brushing.

You'll want, minimally, a large rake or comb like you'd use on a horse's tail.

Great Pyreneeses have the tendency to be shy. Especially if they think they are in trouble. We have a great pyrenees and he is very shy.
