Land Race Farm animal fund

 

In many communities, we have an issue with livestock guardian dogs not finding a good home.  Livestock guardian dogs are ancient breed dogs for keeping livestock safe from master predators like Great Pyrenees, Akbash, Spanish Mastiff, Armenian Gampre, to name a few. The dogs would wander from their pastures and not get claimed when they end up in the shelter. Once they are in a shelter situation, this becomes a problem. The dogs are not domesticated breeds and do poorly in shelter situations. Then they usually get euthanized for no fault of their own. 


So I have started a nonprofit to help save these incredible dogs. I would pull them out of shelters and bad situations, then rehab them, and in the process, I can see what their personality is so I can find the correct position for the dog. I would see how they act around the animals and other dogs of their type. This rehab process and finding a new home can take months to a year, and I take care of their vet care with vaccinations. I also track them throughout their lives and provide any support needed. I give this as low or at no cost to the new owner.


With everyone’s help I can get the dogs spayed or neutered and provide travel to their new homes also the expense of caring for them in this process. I can also continue to improve their living areas.


With this work I can save some wonderful dogs and help keep the livestock and families safe from the master predators while living with them.
