Helping Pyrs home, one gentle giant at a time.
Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue (AGPR) is a volunteer-run, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Great Pyrenees dogs throughout Virginia, Maryland, D.C., and parts of West Virginia. We unite Pyrs in need with loving families, reunite lost dogs with their owners, and support owners who may need to surrender their dogs.
We are changing the world for Pyrs and every human who adopts one.
At AGPR, every Pyr we take in gets a second chance at the life they deserve. From medical care and rehabilitation to patient training and thoughtful placement, we give each dog the individualized support they need to heal and thrive. For these gentle giants, our work isn’t just rescue—it’s transformation. And for every Pyr who finds safety, stability, and love, the world truly does change.
Ready to take the next step?
Every Great Pyrenees in our care is looking for the same thing: a safe place to call home. Whether they arrived as a stray, an owner surrender, or a dog in need of a second chance, each one deserves a family willing to love and understand them.
If you're ready to welcome a gentle giant into your life, we'd love to help you find your match. Apply now!
Your support gives Pyrs their second chance. Whether you donate, foster, volunteer, or help spread the word, every action you take makes a real difference for the dogs who need it most.
Enjoy a little fluff, a lot of heart, and stories that make this work worth it.
