I’m so excited to meet you, I can hardly bear it! It’s me, Bear Sawyer! I’m a sweet, baby bear who is a little shy, but I know I’ll warm up given time and lots of love. I warmed up to my GPRA friends pretty quickly! Real bears have a high IQ and are one of the most intelligent mammals. I’ve got a bear-like intelligence too because I know the commands: sit, stay, come, off, and down. I’m still a cub, though. Cub means puppy in bear language! Like all of us young pyrs, I need leash-training and potty-training. I still dig, chew, and am protective of home too. Positive reinforcement and slow introductions will help me grow into the pyr-fect adult! One thing I’m already good  at, though, is riding in the car. While some bears hibernate in the winter, this Bear is ready for a chilly car ride! I’m a happy, loving, and playful pyr pup who can’t wait to settle in for a long, cozy winter with you!

There has been a moose sighting! It’s me, Moose Sawyer! What makes me a great find is that I’m good with kids, other dogs, and cats. In the pyr biz, we call that the triple whammy! Did you know that a baby moose is called a calf? Well, I guess that makes me a calf because I’m still a puppy. I do scratch at the door to say, “Hey, this moose has got to go potty,” but I’m still learning to be potty-trained. Leash-walking is something else I need help with. I’m very eager to please, so I’ll catch on quickly! My GPRA family says I’ve already got smarts because I know the commands: sit, stay, come, off, and down. For a pup, that’s an impressive feat! Something else I’m good at is riding in the car. Real moose would have a hard time fitting in any vehicle, but this Moose does just fine! At home, I’m very loving and easy-going with a side of rambunctious pyr puppy. Like a lot of my young pyr brethren, I still dig, chew, and protect my home and people, but slow introductions to new folks and positive-reinforcement puppy training will help me grow into the amazing adult pyr I’m meant to be. I’m ready to come home and bring you all the pyr puppy love you could ever want!

We, Zeus and Apollo, have arrived and are ready to greet you with our growing pyr paws! Like our legendary namesakes, Olympian gods, we will fulfill our destiny to serve humanity. Could you possibly be the humans who we will love forever? As very energetic, almost one-year-olds (Who isn’t energetic at this age?), we will need dedicated time, training, and exercise. Our dog-loving foster parents have learned a few things about us, and we are pyr-ty grateful for their kindness, care, and yummy healthy treats. It seems like in our ancient past, we were fed out of the same bowl, but that is not the behavior of gods. So, now, we are fed separately and are learning how to eat more calmly as befits our olympian status. We also were a little head shy at first, but we are gaining our god-like confidence little-by-little as we continue to train and learn to trust our foster parents. Brotherly love is something we have down pat, and we know with the right family who helps care and train us, we will become very loyal individuals to our humans. Foster Mama says, “Zeus is the braver guardian and will always approach to say hi while Apollo is a bit more shy and needs some coaxing.” Foster Papa says, “As young boys, they do quite well on the leash and will blossom with additional training.” We’re your future glorious and most great Pyruss, Zeus and Apollo. Will you take us home?
