Great Pyrenees Discussions / Re: miss my pyrs

I've been a pretty active member of the Florida Pyr Rescue and the coordinators here spend a lot of time getting to know the dogs before they are adopted, raising the placement success rate significantly. When we adopted our first, there was a pretty thorough conversation with the coordinator in my area to get a feel for our family and when she suggested a couple Pyrs in foster she thought would be a good fit, I then talked to the foster parents. There was then a home visit with a Pyr in hand, so we could see just how darn BIG the dogs are, shedding issues, lazy temperment, etc.
Granted, our rescue has worked very hard to become this organized and do all we can to make it the best fit possible. This includes doing everything possible not to get the dog back, knowing any health issues and disclosing them.
I just can never say enough about rescue. It's near and dear to my heart.
