About GPRCI
Great Pyrenees Rescue of Central Illinois (GPRCI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization licensed by the state of Illinois. We are dedicated to rescuing and re-homing Great Pyrenees and are funded completely by public donations. GPRCI is based in Bloomington, Illinois but also has a limited number of foster homes throughout central and southern Illinois.
About The Breed
Great Pyrenees were originally bred to be livestock guardian dogs (LGDs) and are often still used for this purpose today. Great Pyrenees can make wonderful house pets as well though, but it is important to thoroughly research this breed as they have some unique and sometimes challenging characteristics. Learning as much as you can prior to owning a Pyr will help you decide whether this breed would be a good fit for your situation as well as make the transition into your home as smooth as possible.
