For nearly three decades, Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Club Rescue has been a place of second chances.
When families can no longer keep their dogs and shelters are overwhelmed, we step in. We receive up to 15 calls a day from people who are out of options. Each call represents a life in transition — and a dog who needs stability, care, and hope.
We believe rescue should be thoughtful, structured, and lifelong. Every dog who enters our program receives comprehensive medical care, rehabilitation when needed, and careful placement into a permanent home.
We do not rush placements. We do not cut corners. And we do not give up.
Your support ensures that when the next dog arrives at our gate, we are ready — ready with veterinary care, safe housing, nourishment, and a plan for their future.
Rescue is not just about saving a life. It’s about restoring it.
Since 1996, Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Club Rescue has been taking in dogs who had nowhere else to go.
We are a no-kill 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, restoring, and responsibly rehoming Great Pyrenees and other vulnerable dogs. Every dog who comes to us receives veterinary care, rehabilitation, safe shelter, and thoughtful placement into a permanent home. We stand behind every adoption for life.
Many of our families return to us years later because they trust our standards and our commitment to doing things the right way.
But the need is growing. Veterinary costs continue to rise, surrenders are increasing, and the dogs still need care.
Your donation helps cover medical treatment, spay/neuter, vaccinations, food, and daily care — and allows us to say “yes” to the next dog who needs a second chance.
For nearly 30 years, Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Club Rescue has been a safe haven for dogs who have nowhere else to go.
In recent years, rescues like ours have faced increasing challenges. Surrenders are rising, shelters are full, and we now receive up to 15 calls a day from owners needing to place their dogs — many of them young and vulnerable.
Dogs like Leopold.
When Leopold came to us, he needed more than just a new home. He needed medical care, stability, patience, and time. He needed someone willing to believe he was worth the effort. That is what rescue means to us — not just shelter, but restoration.
As a no-kill 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we provide veterinary care, vaccinations, microchipping, rehabilitation, and careful placement into permanent, loving homes. We stand behind every dog we place.
But veterinary costs, food, medications, and daily care continue to rise — and the dogs still need us.
Your support on Big Day of Giving helps cover surgeries, spay/neuter, prescriptions, food, shelter, and the many unseen expenses that give dogs like Leopold a second chance.
Every donation — no matter the amount — helps us say “yes” to the next dog who needs safety, care, and hope.
💛 Thank you for standing with us and believing that every dog deserves a future.
Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Club, Inc. (Rescue) is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded entirely by public donations. We operate with full transparency and accountability, and all contributions go directly toward the medical care, shelter, rehabilitation, and placement of the dogs we serve.
We believe every dog deserves safety, dignity, and a fair opportunity for a stable future. Our adoption decisions are made with consistency and integrity, evaluating homes based on preparedness, responsibility, and long-term commitment.
Beyond rescue, we work to strengthen our community through education, responsible placement practices, and rehoming guidance to help prevent unnecessary surrender. By promoting informed ownership and early intervention, we aim to reduce hardship for both dogs and families.
Equity, to us, means protecting the welfare of each dog while ensuring respectful, fair access to adoption and support.
