Buddy - Adopted

🌟 Meet Our Majestic PYR Strong™ Guardian – Ready for His Forever Home! 🌟Meet BuddyWe rescued this incredible male Great Pyrenees who was abandoned by his owner and left to survive next to cattle and chickens of an adjoining property. He arrived severely matted, eyes exhausted and bloodshot, deeply wary of people. A kind neighbor visited twice daily for 2-3 weeks—building trust one treat and gentle word at a time—before he’d even approach us.Today? He’s transformed: coat gleaming snow-white and mat-free, eyes bright and full of life, health strong and resilient with zero red flags. Estimated 5-6 years old—teeth still pearly white and perfect!This gentle giant lives the PYR Strong™ spirit (shoutout to www.pyrstrong.com for capturing that unbreakable Pyr essence!): super chill, laid-back, never unfriendly to strangers—just leans in for soft head pets.He gets along great with other animals, including cats, and would excel as a devoted family companion or calm, vigilant farm protector.Neutered, vetted, and truly turnkey—majestic, patient, loyal, and ready to love fiercely.We’re committed to the very best home for him—he deserves a family who truly understands and cherishes the heart of a Great Pyrenees.Serious inquiries only—application required.

Badger - Adopted

Badger – 1 Year 4 Months – Great Pyrenees Mix – Needs Forever Home!This sweet, fluffy girl is a 1-year-4-month-old Great Pyrenees mix (likely with Australian Shepherd influence). She has the classic Pyr body and thick double coat, but with a slimmer, more refined muzzle (Border Collie/Aussie-like) and shorter stature—giving her a unique, eye-catching look!
Raised on a sheep farm since 10 weeks old, she’s super friendly with people of all ages, affectionate, and gets along with other animals. She’s calm and tolerant—handled dematting (tail, ears, hind legs) like a champ on day one, and gave only a light growl (no teeth!) to set gentle boundaries with a bouncy puppy.
The reason for rehoming: In a video from the farm, she calmly approached a lamb (head down, tail low), gently grabbed its heel, and moved it slowly—unfortunately hurting the baby. It was immature rough play/misplaced herding behavior (common in young Pyrs and herding mixes during adolescence), not aggression. She’ll mature into a steady guardian around 2–3 years.
Ideal Home:
• Home with secure fencing
• Experienced with large guardian breeds/mixes
• Mature livestock (no tiny lambs for now), calm dogs, or family protector role
• Patient family to help her settle (she’s nervous in new places but decompresses beautifully)
Healthy, up-to-date on shots, microchipped and parasite clean.
Located in Spartanburg, SC area.

Meet 🌟Ashe🌟: A Loyal Protector Seeking His Perfect Match! 🐾Ashe is a 3-year-old neutered male Great Pyrenees – a true devoted guardian with that classic Pyr Strong™ heart. He’s incredibly loving and protective with his family (you can trust him completely), but true to his breed, he’s wary of strangers and territorial around his home – strong instincts that make him an excellent protector.He is excellent around chickens but shows some resource guarding with food with other animals, but with consistent, devoted guidance, these are easily workable – many Pyrs thrive with clear boundaries and positive reinforcement.Ashe would shine brightest as a family companion in an experienced home with secure fencing (trained with invisible fencing), room to patrol, and owners who understand and appreciate the independent Majestic Pyr™ nature.

Tucker - Adopted

Meet Tucker – The Goofy, Lovable Young Gentle Giant! 🐾❤️
Tucker is a stunning 1-year-old male Great Pyrenees (neutered) with a heart as big as his fluffy coat! This sweet boy came into his previous home at just 10 weeks old from a breeder and has been cherished ever since. He’s truly one of the most affectionate and joyful Pyrs you’ll ever meet—full of goofy charm, endless enthusiasm for play, and an incredible love for cuddles.
Tucker is a total character: he adores stuffed animals and balls, plays an epic game of tug-of-war, and how to play hide-and-seek—yes! He’s always up for adventure, especially road trips to snag a pup cup. At just a year old, he’s got that youthful energy typical of a young Pyr, but with the smart, eager-to-please brain that makes him a quick learner. He already knows sit, shake, and more, and picks up new commands easily—perfect for an adopter who wants to keep training fun and build even more tricks together.
Around other dogs, Tucker is a superstar. He lives harmoniously with a Golden Retriever at home and visits the dog park regularly (at least weekly), where he’s never had a single issue. He’s friendly, playful, and respectful with every pup he’s met—making him a great candidate for multi-dog homes or families with canine siblings.
His previous owner is surrendering Tucker out of pure love: they want him to have the space he deserves to run, romp, and stretch those long legs. Tucker thrives with room to explore—a securely fenced yard or land where he can patrol, play, and burn off his happy energy would be ideal. As a classic Great Pyrenees, he has that independent, protective spirit, but in a home that matches his needs, he’ll be your loyal, cuddly shadow.
If you’re looking for a Majestic PYR™ who’s equal parts playful goofball and gentle snuggler, Tucker is ready to steal your heart (and probably your spot on the couch)! He’s neutered, up-to-date on vetting, and waiting for his forever family.
Interested in meeting this wonderful boy?🐕✨

Guarding the Guardians: Saving Southeast Great Pyrenees.

A rescue pulling majestic Pyrs from the brink—join us to secure their futures.

Our Mission

Great Pyrenees Rescue Southeast is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Great Pyrenees in the Southeast U.S.—those noble livestock guardians traits are often overlooked in shelters. We bridge the gap for farm-surrendered, lost, or abused Pyrs, providing emergency care, rehoming placements, and education on their protective roles. Founded in 2025 by Kenneth Roach, a Pyr advocate with ties to ethical breeding (Lilly GP), our vision: No Pyr left behind in the Southeast's rural heartlands.

Our Background

As a startup rescue, we're volunteer-driven with a lean team. No salaries—100% of funds fuel the dogs. We've partnered with a Vet on Record (VOR) for medical care and farms for temperament testing, proving our ops in real-time. Our tax-deductible status is fully (501(c)(3) organization; all donations support our mission with full transparency via quarterly updates here.Avg Spend Per Dog: ~$900 on treatments, vaccines, spays, etc..
Community Reach: 101k+ views on social media posts weekly.These numbers show our momentum—each Pyr saved diverts a guardian from euthanasia, reducing shelter strain by 20% in our pilot intakes. We're scaling to 50+ rescues in 2026, focusing on vulnerabilities like kill-shelters, malnutrition, rehabiliation, and dangerous environment.
