My Story
Hi Pyr Friends! I’m here to reintroduce myself to you. I’m so happy to have a foster home and not be in a kennel anymore! GPRA now has a much better idea of what a fabulous companion I can be. My foster mom says that I like to be wherever humans are. If you go outside, I’m happy to go with you. If you come inside, I want to come and lay on the floor beside you. My favorite activities are going for walks or going on a car rides. When walking, I don’t react to other dogs or critters. I mostly like to just smell all the smells. I’m easy to walk, but I’m not much for running. I might bark at trucks, but I don’t lunge toward them. The only noises that really bother me are sirens, but no one likes those, right? My foster says that I’m really smart and I know commands such as “sit”, “down” and “stay”. I’m food motivated, so I’m learning to take treats softly from humans. I do not counter surf or try to get on the furniture. Chewing isn’t really my thing either. I might enjoy a filled bone, but stuffed toys aren’t interesting to me.
I’m easy to groom. I like to be petted, so brushing is not problem. Cutting my toenails is pretty easy too. One funny thing I do with my foster mom is that I like to be towel dried. When I’m wrapped in a towel, I get affectionate and silly. Foster mom says that I would be good as an only dog, or with another dog. Either is fine with me. I am just really ready for my own family! Please consider adding me to yours by applying to adopt at GPRA.
