The fund raises money through GPRA donations and awards it as training scholarships — so any Great Pyrenees adopted through Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta can become a certified therapy dog.
The scholarship is available for any Pyr adopted through Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta. Already have your gentle giant? You're eligible.
Choose a therapy-dog training program and sketch your plan — what kind of therapy work you and your Pyr want to do, and where.
Submit the Schultz Scholarship application. Awarded scholarships cover the cost of having your Pyr trained and certified.
Certified therapy dogs visit hospitals, senior homes, schools, and disaster sites to offer calm and connection. With their steady temperament and huggable size, Great Pyrenees are naturals — easy to reach from a bed or wheelchair, and famously patient.
