Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue is a 501c3 organization with a network of volunteers across the United States. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome unwanted, displaced, and neglected Great Pyrenees along with other Livestock Guardian dogs in need throughout Texas and the Pacific Northwest. By placing them in caring and nurturing foster homes we are able to successfully adopt them to loving homes throughout the Western United States. Our mission is to engage community members to promote better treatment of these dogs and reduce euthanasia numbers through adoptions, education, and other resources. Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue is a partner with National Great Pyrenees Rescue (www.nationalpyr.org) and we strive to collaborate with other community members. Our vision is to be at the forefront of generating awareness concerning the mistreatment and over-population of Livestock Guardian Breeds, specifically in Texas. Our rescue focuses on finding forever homes for the Pyrs and other livestock guardian dogs in Texas and in the Pacific Northwestern states, by placing them with fosters in Texas, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, and adopting them to loving families. We partner with multiple transport companies to safely get our Pyrs to their destinations. We also welcome and support other transport arrangements, such as air travel, if the adopters prefer.

The Rawley Project — Sniffspot

The Rawley Project

#100 in United States, #15 in Oregon, #2 in Bend

Meet Rawley! The inspiration behind the mission. Growing up I have always had a passion for animals, dogs especially. Rawley and I were best friends in the truest sense. When he was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 9, I was devastated. We quickly sought out every medical expert, explored every option, nothing was too crazy or expensive to try. I was lucky enough to come across a group of doctors and staff who specialize in walking people through their end of life journey with their pets. It was this group of women who sat me down and said, “your passion for animals is special. You need to go do that.” I had always wanted to help, but frankly I was too scared. Too scared to go into a shelter and look into the eyes of dogs who needed, not necessarily me, but someone. Anyone. Too scared to interact with a homeless dog that may be begging for food. It just all seemed like it would hurt too bad. But after losing Rawley, the pain was so real that I didn’t think much could hurt more so I took the suggestion to go explore Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. This is where it all changed for me… Not only did I come home with a new best friend (Willow) but I realized, I can do this! I can look into these dogs eyes, I can help. And so my journey in animal welfare began. I started volunteering at the local shelter in San Diego. When I moved back to Bend I volunteered at the local shelter here (and still do), became a Board Member, and got involved in other rescue organizations. Becoming an active member of my community helped me identify the areas in need. To help reduce the homeless pet population by providing low cost spay, neuter, vaccine and microchip resources to our community and working to find homes for dogs that otherwise do not have chance at adoption in their current situations. There is a lot of need but there are many who give. Together, we will make a difference in as many lives as possible.

The Humane Society of the Ochocos — Sniffspot

The Humane Society of the Ochocos

#100 in United States, #15 in Oregon, #2 in Bend

Founded in 1995 as the inspiration and vision of former Prineville residents Gladys Logsdon and Donna Whitcomb. The Humane Society of the Ochocos has come a long way since then and and we have many of you to thank for that! The current shelter was constructed in 1996 as a temporary facility when the local population was just 17,000…it is now over 25,000 which represents a 47% increase! The needs of the County have outgrown the current shelter’s capacity. In 2006, HSO paved the way and became the first animal shelter in Central Oregon to adopt the no kill philosophy. HSO Vision: • Every companion animal in our community will be treated with respect. • Every adoptable animal in our care will be placed in a loving home. • Every lost animal in our care will be reunited with its owner. • Every dog and cat owner in our community will have access to affordable spay and neuter services.

Rebel Souls Rescue — Sniffspot

Rebel Souls Rescue

#100 in United States, #15 in Oregon, #2 in Bend

At Rebel Souls , we feel advocating, bringing awareness and proper representation of the bully breeds is key to their success. I spend each day exercising, working on behavior issues, getting to know the dogs on a more personal level so that I am fully aware of their character traits prior to sending them off to their forever loving homes. Each dog will leave here crate trained, house broken and know most basic commands. I feel it is very important to know each dog as an individual to assure that when they are adopted their new owners are fully informed of their new companion's pros and cons. Rescue dogs will enrich your lives and show you unconditional love. We are always looking for fosters who are willing to take any of our rescues into their homes, continue training and help them become even better dogs than we already know they are.

Sammie’s Senior Dog Sanctuary — Sniffspot

Sammie’s Senior Dog Sanctuary

#100 in United States, #15 in Oregon, #2 in Bend

Sammie was our first family dog. She was our wild child, always ready to play soccer, chase down a ball, and run like the wind. Sammie loved all humans and was the best big sister to her dog siblings. She had back-to-back knee surgeries by the age of 3yo but recovered quickly and remained active for many years after. Over time, Sammie became deaf and blind. Her old bones started to choose a warm bed over playing ball, but her devotion to her family never wavered. She was truly our good ol’ girl! Sammie was 15yo when we held her for the last time. It was an honor and a privilege to care for our Sammie, especially in her golden years. Which is an act of love too many older dogs do not receive. The amount of dogs over the age of 7 that are abandoned or surrendered, solely for their age is truly heartbreaking. We established Sammie’s Senior Dog Sanctuary to care for those seniors. We know age is never an indicator of the love they have to give. We are dedicated to their well-being and making sure their time with us is safe, stress-free, and full of compassion. Robin is a registered veterinary technician (RVT) with several years of experience caring for all animals and is Fear Free certified. Our family has spent the majority of our lives loving our pets unconditionally until their remaining days.
