Adopt a Great Pyrenees in Virginia

Great Pyrenees are massive, calm, and independent livestock guardian dogs with thick white coats. They appear in rescue when their size, shedding, and tendency to bark at night surprise pet owners. With acreage or a patient suburban home, a rescued Pyr is a serene, watchful companion.

Virginia's rescue dog community is active across the DC suburbs, Richmond, Norfolk, and Roanoke. The state has both high-need rural shelters and well-organized urban rescues. A rescued Virginia dog often comes through one of these active organizations.
