Pyrs
Amy;
I
so agree. The contact in Moline told me up front there will be potty
training issues right off the bat. The dogs know no other way but to
potty in the house because that is all they have know. Her concerns in
order of importance are:
A.
Potty Training
B.
Skin/Respiratory Problems
C.
Shyness
D.
Socialization with people
She did say overall they are enjoying their new found freedom.
She also indicated they are NOT placing the dogs on a first come first serve
basis. They will only place them in approved and qualified homes with
loving families. This is reassuring, as I know they are so special,
and whoever adopts any of the Pyrs, needs to be tolerant, patient, and
dedicate themselves and their family to the training and love of these
neglected beautys. I will post the question you mention to her the
next time we talk.
Thank you for expressing concern. I very much share your
sentiment.
P.S. I just cannot imagine these poor creatures never seeing the
light of day, or smelling the fresh air, or romping in the snow, or rolling
in the grass to scratch their backs..not to mention the social and love
deprivation...

Wow, "never, ever let out"!
Housebreaking is going to be a major challenge. Is someone setting
up a support group for the people who adopt these furbabies? If
people who are not already pyr owners adopt these guys, the challenges are
going to be enormous. As we all know, under the best of
circumstances, a Pyr is a special animal. I am worried about these
poor guys being displaced for a second time because an adopter does not
understand what they are getting into.

Hello all;
I just want to let everyone know in case they are interested that
I spoke with the Moline, Ill Animal Care folks this morning in regard to
the 43 Pyrs which were rescued from a home. The good news is, the
contact there is already on her 4th page of names of people who have
called that would like to be placed on the potential adoption list for
one of these furbabies. I placed my name as well, and she
indicated she was not yet sure when they would be available. They
have been groomed; some had to be completely shaved. She
indicated, and this just makes me want to cry...they were never, ever
let outside. She indicated they are all adults, and some may have
skin and/or respiratory problems, and are extremely timid. She also
indicated that none had to be put to sleep, so that is also
good.
I will keep the group posted should I hear additional
information.
