The Role of NEPR

Dedicated to the Rescue, Care, and Responsible Placement of Great Pyrenees Across the Northeast

Northeast Pyr Rescue (NEPR) supports both Great Pyrenees and the families who care for them. We assist owners who can no longer keep their dogs by providing a responsible, compassionate rehoming process that prioritizes each dog’s safety, well-being, and long-term stability.

NEPR also works closely with shelters and veterinarians throughout the Northeast when Great Pyrenees are lost, abandoned, neglected, or surrendered, ensuring these dogs receive appropriate care and placement through a breed-specific rescue program.

All prospective adopters are required to complete an application, which is reviewed by the NEPR volunteer closest to the applicant’s location. A volunteer then conducts a phone interview followed by a required home visit. This process allows us to fully understand each household and make thoughtful, informed placement decisions.

Northeast Pyr Rescue is powered by dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to rescue, foster, rehabilitate, care for, and find loving forever homes for Great Pyrenees in need throughout the Northeast.

Education
Northeast Pyr Rescue is dedicated to supporting both the dogs we rescue and the people who welcome them into their lives. Through education and guidance, we help adopters understand the unique needs of Great Pyrenees, creating thoughtful matches and laying the foundation for happy, successful, lifelong relationships.

Fostering
Foster families are the heart of our rescue efforts. By opening their homes to Great Pyrenees in need, our dedicated volunteers provide a safe, loving environment where dogs can adjust, receive necessary care, and prepare for their journey to a forever home.

Adoption Screenings
Our dedicated volunteers carefully review adoption applications, conduct home visits, and assist with temperament and behavioral assessments. Through thoughtful evaluations of both surrender situations and prospective adopters, we strive to match every Great Pyrenees with a safe, loving home where they can thrive.

Medical Care
Every Great Pyrenees in our care receives essential veterinary attention, beginning with a thorough health evaluation. From medications and rehabilitation to spaying, neutering, and necessary surgeries, NEPR is committed to providing the medical care each dog needs to heal, recover, and enjoy a healthier, happier future.
