This page is for Dogs who have been rehomed through the Pyrenean Mountain Dog Club of Scotland Rescue Society.  If you would like your Rescue Pyrenean's picture to appear here please contact Eileen Blair, Webmaster at eileen.blair@btinternet.com with a picture and a little bit about your Rescued Pyrenean.   We will show everyone we get. 

THIS IS STORM, HE WAS REHOMED LAST OCTOBER, TO A LOVELY COUPLE, WHO SHOW HIM ALL THE LOVE AND ATTENTION HE NEEDS. HE LIVES IN A HOUSE WITH MORE RESCUE PETS, THERE ARE 2 CATS, 1 PARROT & KYLE THE COLLIE. HAVING WITNESSED STORM FOR MYSELF WHEN WE MET HIM ONE DAY IN THE PARK, WHILST OUT WITH BARNEY, HE IS A LOVELY PYRIE, GREAT TEMPERAMENT AND REALLY LOVING. STORM HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH FOOD, HE ATE REALLY FAST WHEN HE WAS BEING FED, AFTER SPEAKING TO HIS OWNERS, AND THE FACT THAT STORM KNOWS HE WILL BE FED, THE PROBLEM HAS VANISHED. HE IS ADORABLE. THATS CREDIT TO HIS OWNERS KEVIN & FRANCIS, WHO HAVE WORKED REALLY WELL WITH STORM.    ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY! 

 THIS IS MAIA, SHE WAS REHOMED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I THINK YOU WILL ALL AGREE SHE IS A BONNY LASSY, MAIA'S OWNER PAM CONTACTED ME WITH A LITTLE STORY ABOUT MAIA, SO HERE IT GOES.   "MAIA CAME TO US AT ABOUT 7 MONTHS OLD.SHE HAD CLEARLY BEEN VERY BADLY TREATED BY SOMEONE, SHE FLINCHED EVERY TIME WE WALKED TOWARDS HER. SHE HAS BEEN WITH US FOR FOR ABOUT 12 MONTHS NOW, AND SHE IS A WHOLE LOT BETTER.  AT THE START, WE COULDN'T TAKE HER INTO THE LOCAL VILLAGE WITHOUT HER STARTING TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY (TOO MANY PEOPLE!) SHE IS MUCH HAPPIER IN TOWNS NOW, AND AWARE THAT SHE IS USUALLY THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION - HAPPY TO SAY HELLO GENTLY NOW TO STRANGERS, WHERE AS AT THE BEGINNING WE HAD MINI PANIC ATTACKS EVERY TIME SOMEONE SHE DIDN'T KNOW APPROACHED. SHE DIDN'T PLAY, HARDLY MOVED AT THE START - NOW BOUNCES AROUND THE GARDEN LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT, CHASING HER TAIL!! IN SUMMARY, WE KNOW WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO YET, BUT SHE IS ALREADY A DIFFERENT DOG FROM THE ONE THAT TREMBLED IN OUR KITCHEN 12 MONTHS AGO" ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY!                                  

THIS IS JOY, SHE WAS OUR LAST RESCUE, SHE IS REALLY FRIENDLY AND CUDDLY.   SHE CAME FROM A VERY LOVING FAMILY, BUT DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES SHE WAS GIVEN TO RESCUE.  SHE NOW HAS A WONDERFUL HOME, WITH KIDS, AND SHE IS DOING REALLY WELL. SHE IS A BIG GIRL WITH LOADS OF LOVE TO GIVE.
