The Golden State Great Pyrenees Rescue & Sanctuary

• Rescue with Purpose – Every guardian dog here is not just saved, but given meaningful training and work that keeps livestock safe.

• Conservation in Action – Well-trained LGDs reduce conflicts with predators, protecting both farm animals and wildlife.

• Community Impact – Education and outreach inspire ranchers and neighbors to choose non-lethal protection.

Where rescued livestock guardian dogs and the animals they protect both get to live the lives they deserve. From barnyard to backcountry, every life here is safe, valued, and free to flourish.

Livestock Guardian Dog Sanctuary, Training & Placement

Rescuing, training them for success, and placing them as reliable working partners for farms and ranches.

Why Guardian Dogs Matter

Rescue with Purpose: Every guardian here is more than rescued — they’re reborn with purpose.
We train working livestock guardian dogs to protect ranch animals while promoting wildlife coexistence.

🐾 You can adopt a trained guardian or enroll your own dog in any program.

Conservation in Action: Well-trained LGDs prevent predator conflict before it starts — keeping flocks safe and wildlife wild.

Humane. Effective. Proven in the field.

Consultations: Required for training enrollment | Recommended for new LGD owners it includes 60-minute Zoom where we’ll assess your goals, property, and match you with the right guardian or program.
