Shelter
Unega Mountain Dog Rescue
Mission
Saving livestock guardian dogs from abandonment and abuse.
We have been rescuing, raising, rehabilitating, socializing and placing these dogs into safe healthy homes for seven years. We currently have 12 of our own, along with many rescues.
UMDR emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the Great Pyrenees & Akbash breed and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. Established in 2015, we are an organization driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation of support.
Our rescues are large working dogs that have been either abandoned, injured, or lost by the local area sheep herds. We strive to save as many dogs as possible - young and old - giving them a second chance to grow old and to be happy and healthy. We are currently working with the local sheep companies in south central Idaho to better care for these beautiful animals.
We are motivated to make an impact and believe that through all the hardships we were put on this earth to serve a powerful purpose. We will never give up! We are these dogs voice!
