Beginning the Surrender Process
If you need to surrender your Great Pyrenees, please contact us at nepyresq@gmail.com. Complete the Surrender Information Form and include in your email.This information helps us understand your dog’s needs and identify the most appropriate foster placement and long term plan.
Required Documentation
Please provide any available veterinary records, including vaccination history and spay or neuter status if applicable. These records may be emailed to nepyresq@gmail.com and help us ensure continuity of care.
Important Information to Know
NEPR is a breed specific rescue and is only able to accept purebred Great Pyrenees in accordance with our bylaws. We are not able to accept mixed breeds.
For the safety of our volunteers, foster families, and future adopters, we cannot accept dogs with a history of biting humans. Full and honest disclosure is essential. Failure to disclose bite history may carry legal consequences, particularly if a dog is placed in a home with children.
What Happens Next
Once we receive your completed form and documentation, a volunteer will be in touch to arrange a meeting with your dog. We will then coordinate placement into an appropriate foster home. At the time of surrender, you will be asked to sign a surrender agreement.
NEPR makes a lifetime commitment to every dog entrusted to us. All dogs are microchipped with Northeast Pyr Rescue listed as the primary contact to ensure their ongoing safety.
Confidentiality
All information shared with NEPR during the surrender process is kept strictly confidential. POLICY
Outside Our Service Area
If you are located outside our service area, we encourage you to contact the Great Pyrenees Club of America for assistance in locating a reputable rescue organization in your state.
