Beth,
 
Conversely, they will also be lonely for canine companionship because they have never been alone.  When I adopted Sweet Madeleine, her previous caretaker wanted to be sure that she would be with another Pyr because she had grown up with several others.  Fortunately, Charlie and Sweetie became best buddies from the first sniff.

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.
