Pleased to meet you pyr people! I’m Peter, and I’m paw-sitively pumped to go to my pyr-fect home! I’m a young male pyr, so I’m still learning how to walk on the leash. When I see other dogs on our walks, I get so excited and pull. Because I look to my humans for direction, though, I know I’ll be prancing perfectly in no time! Everyone’s prepping for summer, so if we need to run some errands, you can take me along. I am learning how to ride in a car too, but I can get a little carsick and have to lifted into the car. One skill I’ve pretty much mastered, however, is going potty outside. In other words, I’m house-trained! Summertime fun is something I already know really well too! I am perky pup with lots of puppy energy, so I am ready for zoomies in backyard with my foster doggy sibling any time. I’m really personable with kids too because of my very sweet and affectionate personality. Plus, kids love to give hugs and cuddles, and I’m all for it! Belly-rubs and ear-rubs are a pleasant way to spend a summer afternoon too. While I am my plucky self around my foster family, I do take a little time to warm up to new people, and I can get a little head-shy. I have a curious and loving nature, though, so I warm up quickly. While I’ve been told I have a pearly-white smile, I do need to gain some weight. Good thing I like liver treats! Chewing on things in general is fun, but I am learning to only chew on my toys. I know the word “no,” so I just need some practice. When my foster family leaves me home alone, though, I do really well in the crate. For me, puppy paradise is being with the people I love. Won’t you take me home and make this peace-loving pyr a part of your family?

Hi, Everybody! I’m Joe Cruz! This Joe goes with the flow. I’m such a sweet boy. I’m good with kids, people, and other dogs. At the dog park, I like to sniff the other dogs and be friendly. As Foster Mama says, I don’t have a mean bone in my body! When I’m at home, I love to play with my doggy sibling. All I really want to do, though, is be where you are. While you’re having your morning cup of joe, I’ll sit by you for some pets and snuggles. Foster Mom also says I’m very calm. My gentle demeanor means I am great with kids! My young foster human sibling is brushing me in one of the pictures, and I just let her get on with it. Being groomed is something I tolerate very well. Another thing I like to do is chew, so I’ll need some sturdy chew toys! On the leash, I’m a little like a joey, a baby kangaroo, learning how to walk because I weave and pull. Foster Mama tells me I’m a fast learner, though, so I’ll be cruzing, I mean cruising, smoothly down the sidewalk in no time! Also, car rides and stairs are not my vibe, but I’m working on it. One thing I can’t learn to love is the crate. I think it’s because I love my people so much that I want to be able to guard the family home while they’re out. As every Joe Schmoe knows, pyrs like to protect their home! The good news is I’m basically housetrained! Here’s the deal: I’m no average Joe. I’m Joe Cruz, and I’m a very special and soft-hearted pyr who can’t wait to go home with you!

Hey, my pyr rock ‘n’ rollers! It’s Jimi Hendrix here, and while I’m named after a rocker, I’m a gentle soul. My GPRA transporter says I can be touched all over, and I take treats very gently. My namesake played the electric guitar, and one thing that electrifies my spirit is ear scratches. I love them! And, belly rubs make me want to sing! Jimi got his kicks by strumming on his guitar, but I get joy from being near my humans. While I’m a little shy at first, I warm up very quickly. I liked snuggling close to my GPRA transporter for the whole drive. Once we arrived, I got on the leash. I’m still learning how to walk on the leash, but Jimi didn’t learn to play the guitar in a day. I’ll learn how to leash-walk with time too! One fun fact about Jimi Hendrix is he was 5 feet and 10 inches tall which is pretty tall. And, one fun fact about me is that I’m a pocket pyr which means I’m on the smaller side for a male pyr. I may not be able to play the guitar like Jimi, but I’ll give you all the sweetness in the world. You saying, “Let’s go home” would be music to my ears!
