Hellos! I am Merle, and this is my Pyr-friend, June. We are a bonded pair which means that we will be happiest staying together. You see, separating a bonded pair will be quite distressing, and we do not want this to happen.
We have been through complete evaluations with GPRA’s trainer. He said that we are “fantastic dogs.” We sat for treats, let the trainer touch us all over, and did excellent walking on the leash. (June tried to show me up a bit, but I upped my game.) Since we can be a bit strong on a leash, it’s best to have our own human for walks. (After all, the more, the merrier, right?) Also, since we were raised with many children, ages three to 15, we are great with the younger humans. We especially love it when our humans sit down next to us and show us affection. GPRA’s trainer also said that we love being groomed and are friendly with other dogs.
We will be devoted, affectionate, and well-mannered family dogs with more time, training, and consistency. For daily exercise and to keep us safe, we will require a large, secure fenced-in yard.
GPRA recommends that we not live on a farm and believe we have the Pyr-potential to be excellent therapy dogs.
Your fabulous Pyr-duo, Merle (and June)

Hellos! As a quintessential beautiful pocket Pyr, I am appropriately named Jewel Dots. Although still timid as I am new to my surroundings, everyone sees that I am sweeter than sweet tea! GPRA walkers have also learned that I am leash trained, very interactive with my humans, and cannot get enough love and affection. I overheard one of GPRA’s walkers say that I “will make a wonderful forever Pyr for one lucky GPRA adopter.”
As GPRA learns more about me, I will update you.
Your Pyrly sweet girl, Jewel Dots

Hi, I am Storm!
I’m currently with a wonderful foster mom, and she has lots of great things to share with you about me.

“Storm is a sweet and chill girl.” (Yep, give me a dog bed, and I will enjoy lounging around during the day.)
“Storm is on the lower energy side. She enjoys morning and afternoon walks. Since she is carrying a little extra weight and loves walks, we are working on fitness.” (Dropping a couple of pounds will make me a healthier girl. Are you ready to have a walking buddy?)
“Storm will do well in a quieter home that does not have children or other pets. Storm is very content with a set schedule.”
“On walks, Storm is social with other dogs and people, slow and cautious but warms up quickly when introduced.” (I try to be a well-mannered girl.)
“Storm is a lovely dog. She is not constantly seeking attention but still wants to be with her humans.” (Yes, I love my humans.)
“Storm has good manners and will paw at the door to go outside.”

Although my name portrays something different, a quiet, peaceful, and calm life makes me a happy girl.  Pyrly yours, Storm.

Hellos! I am the one and only Duffy. My family had to surrender their loving, easy-going, and super laid-back family dog, which is sad. However, I am hopeful as GPRA promises that there is another family out there just for me.

My previous family told GPRA I am a big baby. (Yep, I am a loveable guy!) I am also great with other dogs, cats, and strangers. Since I was shot in my front leg when I was only two-years-old, I hope my fur-ever family will understand that loud noises can scare me a bit. This just means that you may find me hiding in a closet during fireworks and stormy nights. Loud noises remind me of the day I was shot, so your understanding and kindness will ease my worries. Better yet, if you join me in the closet or a safe hiding space, I will be just fine.

One of my favorite things to do is to go for family car rides. Do you think we can stop for a Pyr-yummy Puppuccino? Well, maybe not, because I may need to shed a couple pounds!

Pyrly grateful for a second chance … Duffy

Hellos. Are you ready to play with the lovable and playful Duke?  I have lived a good life with another family but was surrendered due to my owner’s health issues. My previous owner adored me, and I hope my future family does as well. Not to be overly braggadocious, but here is what my previous owner says about me:
“Duke is great with kids of all ages.” (Yes, kids are the best!)
“Duke is good with other dogs.” (My best friend, Howie, is also up for adoption, so please consider adopting him, too.)
“Duke knows commands such as sit, stay, come, off and down.” (This is good stuff, right? I do my best to remember these commands and will only get better with consistency in reminding me.”
“Duke is gentle.” (Yes, I love all humans!)
“Duke is a leader.” (When I am with Howie, I am the one that gets us going.”)
Like many Pyrs, the one thing that makes me a bit nervous is fireworks. As long as I am with my humans, I’m ok. Just know that I may need your reassurance on fireworks nights.
So, that’s a bit about me. I cannot wait to learn all about you.
Your man, Duke

Hello, everyone! I am Cisco.  Sadly, I lost my primary caretaker, and with this unexpected life change, my previous family can no longer keep me. They are all very heartbroken.
Now, I am looking for a new family who will become my forever.  There are lots of great things you need to know about me.  First, you can see in my photos how much I love humans. Here are few other things that my previous family shared with GPRA.
“Cisco is a friendly, family dog.” (Yes, I love my family, especially the children.)
“Cisco is active and playful. He spent most of his life outside.” (Yes, I love the outdoors. However, if the humans are inside, I think I would like to spend more time there as well.)
“Cisco lived with another dog and six cats.” (I will miss my other fur-family members and look forward to having new ones.)
So, what do you think? Are you ready to adopt me? Looking forward to happier days, again… Cisco

Max here to let y’all know that I am a survivor and have kept my Pyr smile, playfulness, and friendliness despite living through tough and hungry days. Long story short, I was pulled with other dogs from a neglect situation by Animal Control, and GPRA came to my rescue.  With time, I am hopeful that my tendencies to guard my bowl will fade away as I begin to trust that I will get more than enough food. However, I love other dogs and cats as we became good friends during our difficult days. After my hind leg was run over, it is a bit stiff, which only means that I may need a little help getting in and out of the vehicle, but so do most Pyrs.  If you are my forever, I will follow you all over the place, join you on car rides, and let you know every day how grateful I am to be in your loving, kind, and trusting care.

Looking forward to endless hugs, a cozy bed, and happier days… Max

Since my name matches a country rock star, let’s pretend I can sing and play guitar. I don’t know anything about my past except that I came from Alabama so maybe I do have some country in me! GPRA’s vet says I’m five years old, 84 lbs., and walk well on a leash. Humans say I’m super chill with other dogs, even one who tried to eat me and those sometimes quite annoying puppies. This story is so short, I guess I can add I rode well in the car for two of the three hours. After that, I got a little vocal letting my GPRA driver know it was my turn at the wheel. I tried to move up front and he just blocked me. Otherwise, Mr. K was a very nice guy, especially because he brought me you. Or hopefully. The ball’s in your court now—hey, wonder if I like tennis balls? Anyway, please email info@greatpyratlanta.com, click “Contact Us” or choose “Apply to Adopt” below so we can at least meet. It’s the only way to know if I’m the soul dog you’ve been waiting for all this time.
