Charlie in Ohio 4/3/2013-7/30/2022. Charlie was a true representative of the breed, and is the inspiration behind this section of our website, and our lives. If you want to honor the life of a pet you lost, just let us know. We will honor them with you. I'm the lucky one though, I have other Pyrs at home which makes the healing a little more bearable.
Julia in TX. 7-23-2023 This couple took this ailing, severely neglected Great Pyrenees to foster for Great Pyrenees Rescue Society, knowing she was terminally ill. That is a special gift in a human.
Cole in NY 12-18-2013 - 12-3-2023. Cole was born in Kentucky and ended up in a shelter. Cole and a couple of his siblings were transferred to a shelter in NY. Lori saw his listing, and his front left paw was white, just like her year old Newfie Remi. The rest is history. Cole and Remi became the best of friends. Cole is a classic example of the love and loyalty that comes with a dog. Anytime cancer strikes, we are never prepared, and Lori was no exception. Cancer took Cole just four days after he started showing the symptoms. Cole is missed dearly. Please say a little prayer for Lori and her fur kids to help them find peace in this trying time in their lives.
Run free cole, you'll never be forgotten.
Scarlett and Maroon in TN were a very special bonded pair. Scarlett was very timid and scared, and Maroon could silence the kennel with two barks. Maroon never left Scarlett's side, right up 'til the day she crossed over the bridge. Terry adopted them in February of 2017, that's when every day became the best day of their lives. Thank you Terry. Run free Scarlett and Maroon, I smile every time I think about you two together again.
Max in OH/TX,-2010/4-14-2023. Max was in Ohio, but his family moved to Texas in 2021. Max was definitely a high achiever, because his human sister made him want to be that way. She even taught him outdoor boundaries with no visible fence. He would wait for 35 seconds with a high value treat on the floor in front him, without his human in the room. Max was loyal to his family right up until the end when he went to sleep, and crossed over The Bridge on April 4, 2023. Run free Max, and take care of Baxter. Let your family know you're ok, they need that right now.
From Leo's Family
Leo and Charlotte, aka Charlee we’re two from a litter of five. We knew that we needed to help in any way we could without knowing this breed. They came with some health issues, but they were able to overcome them. Time went on and they grew and became part of our pack, which entailed four Labrador Retrievers! The zoomies were real at our home! When the behavior issues began with Leo, we reached out to Steve and with many conversations, Steve encouraged me that with work and understanding the body language of this breed, we could teach him and us to learn trust... We chose to keep Leo and not rehome him. I did the work because Courtney was working full-time and in college and it would’ve been too much work for her. So, Leo became my dog and with much training we were able to get things turned around and Leo learned to trust me and I learned to trust him. In 2017 both families moved to Florida and Charlie and Leo are together once again. They took pride in guarding our property that included horses, donkeys, and chickens and grandchildren. After Leo passed away from cancer, Charlee wasn’t the same. She left us six month after Leo. I believe her heart was broken. This was a shock to us all and left us heartbroken! The time we had with them was precious and unforgettable! When I see a Great Pyrenees out at the pet stores or our vet, I can’t help but cry because I miss them so much. I’ve learned a great respect for this breed and how majestic they truly are. Without the trainer and his knowledge, I believe our story would not be what it is today! He was our Leo Whisperer! He gave us all a second chance.
Laira in Ohio 5/2010-1/5/2024 Laira was a very special girl to anyone that knew her. She was afraid of the world when we first knew her, and it took her years to overcome her fear, but she did do it. Carol and Kim gave her the life she deserved, full of love without condition, full of life, and to feel no fear. You will always be Clara to some. Run fear free sweet girl, 'til we meet again.
Koda Bear's death on January 5 2023 was unnecessary. A professional not only misdiagnosed the behavior, he also blamed the wrong dog, then used a shock collar on a dog that didn't do anything wrong. Recap - Koda ultimately died for not having behavior issues.
Our hearts go to PYRescue.org in Colorado, especially Judy, Michael, and Nancy. They lost their Little Bear, aka Teddy Bear yesterday, December 1st, 2022. It was sudden and unexpected. Nancy heard two of their dogs making a commotion in the play area, and she went to investigate, the dogs were trying to revive Little Bear, but he was gone, and Nancy was the first one there. Run free Little Bear.
Samson was young and loved dearly by his mom. Cancer takes another young Pyr. Run free Samson, you are missed. Samson went to the Bridge early November, 2022
Kasey in MD crossed The Bridge 9-23-2022. From Kasey's family.
Kasey was ours for only a few short years. He was sent to our home to retire and protect our elderly malamute, Cooper. We loved him so much and he protected us with a fierce loyalty I have seen in no other dog. Kasey helped to raise and teach 3 other rescues who we also love dearly. He passed peacefully while eating peanut butter surrounded by his family. Kasey joins his brothers Shiloh, Cash, and Cooper at the storied bridge we all hope to find.
Charlie 4-3-2013 - 7-30-2022. We lost our boy too soon to Degenerative Myelopathy. Now he can run free. We miss you Charlie.
Murray in Ohio 5-20-2011 - 11-22-2019 We lost our boy too soon to Lymphoma. Murray is now fear and pain free. We miss you Murray.
Buddy in Ohio was a BIG boy at 210 lbs. He went to the Bridge too soon due to a brain tumor on 4-10 2018. We miss Buddy
Lilly in Ohio 11-9-1997 - 10-14-2014 Lilly was a retired working LGD. She lived a long healthy life. We miss you Lilly.
Blizzard in Ohio failed as a LGD, but he was a great couch potato. Blizzard crossed over the Bridge May 22, 2013. He is still greatly missed.
