About Us
At Saving Pyrs in Need, we’re passionate about giving Great Pyrenees dogs a second chance at life. Our incredible team of volunteers rescues Pyrs from shelters, ensures they receive full veterinary care, and places them in loving foster homes where they can heal and thrive. While in foster care, we get to know each dog’s unique personality so we can match them with the perfect forever family.
We work tirelessly behind the scenes—transporting dogs, screening adoption applications, visiting potential adopters, attending public events, and spreading the word through social media and community outreach. We’re also committed to educating the public about this majestic breed and the importance of spaying and neutering to prevent unwanted litters.
Every Pyr we save is more than just a rescue—they’re part of our mission to create lasting, loving matches and countless “Happy Tails” for both dogs and their new families.
Foster Homes
Shelters across North Texas are constantly full—and that’s where you come in. Fostering gives a homeless dog a second chance and provides you with a truly rewarding experience. SPIN covers all the essentials—food, vet care, medications, and supplies—while you provide a safe space, a caring heart, and your time. Whether you prefer a playful puppy, a mellow adult, or a sweet senior, there’s a Great Pyrenees waiting to become your next foster friend.

It takes a village to rescue and rehome these gentle giants—and we need yours!

Financial Donations to Support Medical Care and Food
Most of the Pyrs we rescue arrive with medical needs—some minor, some serious. From basic vaccinations to life-saving surgeries, your donations make it possible for us to provide the care they need. Every dollar helps us rescue, heal, and rehome more dogs. This is an opportunity for you to be part of their journey.

We exist to rescue Great Pyrenees from animal control facilities in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex as space in our foster homes is available. We consist of all volunteers, who generously give of their time, talents, and homes (for fostering) to this cause.
