This list has shown great care and concern about the Pyrs in need all 
across the country. :)  Contacting the Rescue Reps for your area, as 
Linda stated, causes much less confusion. Many times the Rescue 
Coordinators have already been contacted and many times shelters will 
only work with Reputable Rescue Groups or by direct adoption.  I will 
include the link for the Rescue Reps in the nation.  There has been such 
tremendous movement to help with the Pyrs that have come to our 
attention these past weeks.  Just think what you all could do by 
contacting your closest GPCA Rescue Representative and offering your 
services!  Transportation is always difficult to arrange. Foster Homes 
are almost impossible to find.  If you can't foster, there are so many 
other ways of helping our Pyrs in need. What a relief it is to know I can 
call someone to help transport a dog across NM.  That is the only thing 
my transport angel does, help us get Pyrs in need to foster care. What 
an invaluable service he performs for our breed!  If you meet someone 
who is interested in a Pyr, give them the Rescue Rep contact for your 
area. And yes, when you are thinking about transporting a Pyr across 
the country, please do check with your local rescue.  You will be amazed 
to learn that your closest rescue group does not have the man power to 
take in all the Pyrs needing homes. Helping out locally is the best thing 
ya'll can do.

Go to the rescue contacts.  There you will see the Rescue Coordinators 
Contacts per region.  Then a listing of Rescue Reps per State.  
Bookmark this site for ease! :) By getting the information to the Rescue 
Coordinator dog in dire need can be helped faster.
