Hi, I am Vivian. My story is one of motherhood, compassion, and survival. My backstory is that I lived with my puppies’ daddy and eight puppies (one died) under a shed near a church. The church community took care of me for two years and gave me a kids swimming pool when my pups were born. Ten days after my puppies were born, I was hit by a car and ran away, returning to check on my puppies a few hours later. (I tried to be a good Momma dog to all of my puppies.) Compassionate humans stepped in to help, and within a short time, my pups and I were transported into GPRA’s exceptional care. (It was nothing short of a miracle that someone contacted GPRA, and the Rescue immediately responded.)
Several months later, all of my puppies are adopted. Now, it is my turn to find my forever home. I am with a fabulous foster mom and foster Pyr-brother. My foster mom says that I am a “total sweetheart” and will do best with a canine companion and a human who works from home. My foster mom also tells me that I am beautiful! (Aww… thank you.) I have been a polite house guest, am house-trained, and sleep through the night on the dog sofa downstairs. (I’m terrified of crates, so none of those, please.) But, ultimately, I need a family who is home more than not. Will you be my home companion?
Pyrly loving, Vivian

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? If yes, then you need to adopt me! I am the magnificent Casper Capri! I am yet another Pyr found wandering a highway! The day that caring humans caught me is one that I will never forget!
My Pyr knowledgeable foster family gives me the very best care and thinks that I am an affectionate, friendly, playful, obedient and loving, family dog!
Here are a few things that my foster family knows about me.
“Casper is great with kids. He is gentle, tolerant, and does not get spooked or react to the quick movements/approaches of my boys.”
“Casper is very friendly with other dogs. He will try to establish his position within a pack and wants to be the Alpha. However, our resident big boy Pyr let him know he was the established Alpha of the family, and Casper accepted it without issue. Each day, Casper becomes more comfortable and less insecure.”
“Casper knows several commands such as ‘sit,’ ‘come,’ ‘paw,’ and ‘no.’ True to Pyr fashion, Casper selectively applies his knowledge of these commands.”
“Casper has a moderate to high energy level. He loves to play and is constantly on the move in the house checking in on everyone.”
“Casper will love having his very own fenced-in backyard. He is house-trained and will go to the door when he needs to go outside. However, his future family will want to establish a routine with him until they can pick up on his signs. Sometimes, Casper wants to go out and look around, while other times, he really needs to go outside.”
“What I love about Casper is his attention-needy demeanor right now, which will fade as he gains confidence and trust in his surroundings. He insists on being close with his humans, which is very sweet. Casper is also a bit of a goofball, which is quite endearing.”
“Casper is a charming boy and will be a great family dog once he settles in. While it may take him a bit of time to adjust, establishing a solid routine will provide him the security needed to trust his surroundings. He will be happiest as the biggest alpha boy with other dogs and with owners who understand the traits of Great Pyrenees such as their strong will, sometimes stubborn demeanor, and the ever-endearing trait that they will train you if you let them.”
So, that’s a bit about me. Are you ready to enjoy a fluffy white Christmas together?
Your Pyr-magnifienct boy, Casper Capri

Hey, all. I am Prism and a very thankful boy to have been rescued by GPRA from a Shelter. Here is what GPRA’s walking volunteers say about me.
“Prism is a very good boy. Although a little shy, he is a dear love. He passed GPRA’s evaluation with flying colors.”
“Prism loves walking the trails and is a delightful and wonderful boy.”
“Prism is excellent on the leash until he sees a deer. Then, it is playtime.” (Yep, this is my work in progress. Be ready to teach me how to maintain my good leash manners even when I see a deer.)
“Prism has lots of extra pep in his step. It was fun to watch him run a bit in the large play yard.” (I’m a fun boy that just wants to run and play.)
“Prism is more interested in being petted and loved on than playing today. I am so happy to report that Prism is getting more comfortable, and his confidence increases each day.” (Yep, thanks to GPRA’s volunteers, my trusting and confident self is starting to shine.)
“Prism is the sweetest boy. We got to be friends very quickly.” (Thank y’all so much for helping to build my trust. GPRA’s volunteers are Pyr-awesome!)
Your Pyrly happy and grateful boy, Prism

Hellos to all! I am the Amazing Macy! I was heartbroken when my owners moved overseas, and I could not join them. However, I trust GPRA and my wonderful foster family to help me find a loving and lasting fur-ever home! So, here is a bit about me.
“Macy is smart, friendly, loving, shy, affectionate, and cuddly!  She loves having her head, neck, and ears massaged and belly rubs.  Macy knows several commands, such as ‘sit,’ ‘down,’ ‘place,’ and ‘back-up.’ (Yep, my loving owners taught me a lot, and I will continue to learn from my future family, too!)
“Macy will be happiest with another dog in the house. She loves her fur-siblings, and they are best buddies. (Without fur-siblings, I will get too lonely.)
“Macy is very athletic and loves to be outside! She will thrive with dedicated suburb owners who will provide her with many walks or a life in the country. (Yep, a country dog life is fantastic, but I can also be a city girl with sufficient exercise and attention.)
“Macy is great with our two teens and will sit on the couch and watch TV  with them. Then, one day, I found her in bed with my daughter, who was studying AP Psychology. Apparently, Macy likes someone who will read to her.” (I am the Pyr-fect cuddle reading/studying buddy!)
Although it may take me a little time to trust, I am very loving, affectionate, and Pyr-ready for a life filled with lots of fun and love with my human and fur-sibling family.

Your Pyrly incredible girl, Macy

Hi, I am Socks. Sadly, I was abandoned and left behind due to a very distressing home circumstance. I will spare you the details.

Thankfully, a caring neighbor knew what was happening and stepped in to help rescue me. I still miss my human children, but GPRA tells me that there are lots of families out there looking for a friendly, loving, big, fluffy boy like me. It feels good to be hopeful again.

Although my guardian neighbor told GPRA that I am a charming and playful boy, my home life was quite turbulent. It will take time to decompress and trust. A loving and patient owner who will invest time in helping me feel safe and less anxious will get me on the right path. I will also benefit from dedicated time and training to learn good manners. It will be helpful to tether me on car rides until I can chill out more, but I promise to work hard to make you proud.

As GPRA learns more about me, I will update you.
Thank you for saving me and giving me hope for a fresh start, GPRA!

Pyr-eager for my happily-ever-after, Socks

PS You will understand why my name is Socks when you meet me!

Happy Day, everyone! If you are a Star Wars fan, you will fall in love with big, irresistible me because my name is Chewbacca! Cool name, right?

I have a wonderful family to thank for saving me from a horrible place. Since they already had four dogs, they knew GPRA was my best chance at a good life.

At first, everyone thought that I was part Golden Retriever because my coat was reddish-orange. Nope, I’m full Pyr! My beautiful coat had absorbed lots of Georgia clay, so GPRA put me through the magical grooming transformation, which included not one but three baths. Gosh, it felt so good to get all that dirt out of my coat that I fell sound asleep after my Spa Day! Now, I don’t even recognize myself. I am quite the stunning boy if I say so myself. (Yes, that’s my Pyr confidence and pride talking.)

Everyone says I am a super sweet and chill boy, so come meet me soon!

May the Pyr force be with you, Chewbacca

Good day! How are you? I am the lovable and very handsome Samson Corbin. My previous family had a major life change and could no longer care for me. So, this is why I’m with GPRA. Here are a few things my previous owners shared with GPRA about irresistible me. I have a feeling it will convince you that I’m your next big gentle giant.

“Samson is a wonderful and loveable Great Pyrenees/St. Bernard cross.” (Yep, you get the best of both breeds in me!)

“Samson is looking for a family or individual who has a fenced-in-yard and will play fetch with him or take him for walks frequently.” (Now, this is the important stuff because I love being outside and taking lots of walks with my favorite humans.)

“Samson adopts other animals into his pack very quickly.” (Yep, I am great with other dogs and cats. Collecting other animals and watching over them makes me a happy boy!  Last but not least, I really love the smaller humans you call children, too!)

“Fireworks scare Samson. He will want to be with his humans.” (If you pet me and ease my worries during those loud noises, I will be just fine!)

“Samson has all the love in the world to give to his humans.” (Yes, this is what makes me an irresistible awesome boy!)

Just a loveable boy, Samson
