TGPR Experiences
Beyond Grateful
I am beyond grateful that I stumbled upon TGPR in 2017. I had rescued my first pyr from the shelter in 2013 and decided it was time for her to have a sister and we made our first TGPR adoption and they made it so easy and helped us find our pyrfect match!
From there I had such a pleasant experience that I wanted to know how I could get involved and help. Working with different leadership over the years, who were all incredible with the most amazing hearts for these pups, I have run the bios and photos for the website, and then transitioned to fostering. We got a couple of our dogs adopted out and then ultimately became foster fails adopting two more gentle giants from TGPR.
Thanks to this organization our home is complete in a way we never knew we needed. Help out, adopt, donate, you won’t regret it!

Pyr-fect Addition
We are so grateful to TGPR for bringing Layla into our lives. This little Akbash girl came to rescue as a frightened and abandoned pup, and we have been blessed to watch her blossom as we worked with her through her medical and emotional needs. Her fighter spirit and can-do attitude stole our hearts, and we asked TGPR if we could be honored to be her forever family.
We are lucky to say that she is the Pyr-fect addition to our family, and we are so thankful that she chose us.

Our New Best Friend
I cannot say enough about the heartfelt kindness and genuine love of this group. I just adopted June this weekend (now Hazel), who has already solidified a place in my family’s heart and home. She is one of the most amazing pups I think I will ever to be lucky enough to have adopted me. All of that is possible because of the incredible and selfless work that all of the organization’s personnel provide.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for our new best friend. Kathleen you helped raise a really good one!

The Beloved King of our Lucky Ranch
We brought Everest into our home as a senior foster a couple of years ago and we fell in love with him. We adopted him this year and it was the best decision we ever made. Once in a lifetime, you meet a dog that completely captures your heart. We all love Everest, but he is my husband’s very best friend. You can feel the love they share in these pictures.
At some point, a cruel and heartless human dumped this great dog. He starved and waited where he was left, expecting them to come back for him. He was loyal to them, despite having been terribly beaten and developing a deep fear of people, especially men. It took a year before he wagged his tail, and two for him to stop ducking when we approach him. We are so grateful that TGPR got involved and saved Everest from starving to death on the street. We will never stop being grateful for every moment of time we get with the Big Boy (Everest). He’s the undisputed and beloved king of our little Lucky Ranch.
Thank you, TGPR. You do God’s work here on earth with these great dogs.

Texas Trailer Park to Arizona Estate Guardian
Renee is a FANTASTIC estate guardian and phenomenal dog! Protective of our chickens, loving to our cat Poppy, Princess of Plunder, and gentle with our neighbors’ children, we could not ask for a better LGD. We marvel every time we see her track an aerial predator or chase off a fox from our fence line. And being greeted by her soft expression, wagging tail, and gentle kisses every time we return home is the greatest feeling in the world! I could boast forever about her athleticism, her discernment, her ability to read and clearly communicate with different species and other dogs, including our second rescue LGD Augustine of Hippos, nicknamed Auggie. Auggie had a rough start, coming to us through a local shelter after found in a dumpster malnourished and with a broken tail! But he has blossomed under Renee’s friendship and care. In fact they hit if off right away and it was amazing to watch Renee show him the ropes. She could tell he initially could not move as fast as her or balance as well, so she’d change her play-style and speed so he could keep up and safely play together. And if he got stressed, she would nuzzle him and lick his ears and you could see his whole body relax Thanks to TGPR. Our chickens are safe, our cat loved, and John and I have the joy of watching two giant white dogs play and patrol on our property every day. What a beautiful life!
