Did you know Great Pyrenees aren’t allowed to sit next to their owners on airplanes? Shocking but true and why this 6-year-old, 84 lb. GPRA alumna needs a new home and why my mom is so sad. She’s suddenly traveling as much as a month at a time for something called a job and said it’s too selfish to keep me. I’m housetrained, have good leash manners, and enjoy playing with other dogs. I bravely protect my home from delivery trucks as Pyrs do by barking. I hold court on the back deck, surveying the neighborhood and decreeing all in order. So, if you’re looking for beautiful (you saw my pictures, right?), loyal, and trustworthy couch company, please email info@greatpyratlanta.com or click “Apply to Adopt” below. My mom’s back on the road so while my foster is very sweet, I’m ready to go home.

My road to GPRA came through the Gwinnett County animal shelter because this 6-year-old, 82 lb. girl angered one too many neighbors one too many times with her roaming ways. My former family chose the shelter instead of securing the property. To be fair, I have no idea how many milk bones it costs to build a fence so I’m taking a positive approach and looking forward instead of back! My foster mom says I’m slowly coming out of my shell, which is really funny because I’m not a turtle! Anyway, she says I just want to be with people, that I love treats (duh!), show no signs of aggression towards other dogs when we’re walking, and I really like the neighborhood kids. Apparently, I know some commands and in true Pyr form, I decide when to act like it. However, I’m consistent about two things: being brushed (great) and fireworks (awful, terrifying, please make it stop). It’s ok to leave me alone at home but I really prefer being with my humans and I’ve even started sleeping in my foster mom’s bedroom. What does your bedroom look like? Is there an empty Pyr spot waiting for me? If yes, please email info@greatpyratlanta.com or click “Apply to Adopt” below so we can see if it fits me.

I’m Starlight, a 6-year-old, 77 lb. female wishing for a furever family on the first star I see every night. Of course, I only see the sky when I’m out of my kennel. Don’t misunderstand, the shelter people loved me, fed me, and sure kept my safe from trucks and cars. I’m grateful. But now I’m ready for a house, maybe some dog toys, and oh, oh, how about people to play with me? Wait, can I add treats and a soft sleeping spot to my wish list? And ear rubs, I want ear rubs, too, please. I probably sound a little greedy, but every pure bred Pyr needs people. Maybe you’ll be my “people”? If you’re thinking about it, Please email info@greatpyratlanta.com or click “Apply to Adopt” below.

I’m Goldie, a 6.5-year-old 100 lb girl with tons of great things to tell you about myself and something else you may have guessed from my picture: I’m blind. Fortunately, I can sit on command, potty outside, enjoy my walks, make friends with other dogs, and love cats and kids without being able to see. And, just like lots of dogs with two good eyes, I’m a little standoffish with strangers, afraid of loud noises such as thunder and fireworks, and I spook easily. It’s flattering to hear people say I’m an easy-going, obedient, playful, quiet, gentle, and friendly family dog. If you’re willing to meet me, and your home sounds like a safe place for me, please email info@greatpyratlanta.com or click “Apply to Adopt” below.

I’m Bailey, a  6-year-old, 78 lb girl whose mom is devastated her life is changing and she has to kiss me goodbye. Please don’t judge her for asking GPRA to help me find you, it’s really hard for her and the best thing for me. I also want to tell you years 1-4, in my first home, had more crate time than any dog deserves and while the last year’s been so much better with mom, I’m still learning how to play and have fun. I love being outside on long walks or enjoying the yard, but I’m also house trained and quite content having the place to myself for several hours. I’m trustworthy with kids, chase cats for fun—probably more fun for me than the cats—and do not care for small dogs. Despite moving around a bit, I’m loyal and alert, always protecting my family, even if it seems like I’m staring at nothing or ignoring you. Oh, and most important, I’ll do anything—even if it’s a little mischievous—for a peanut butter sandwich. So, if you want to have a whole bunch of lunches together, please email info@greatpyratlanta.com or click “Apply to Adopt” below.

I am Bella C. and I am only six years old and 91 lbs, so you will have a lot of time to pet me if we live together! Yes, I adore attention and I walk right up to adults, kids, dogs, cats, and I might even try saying hello to a squirrel if the timing is right. I did not like being an outside dog so I am learning to do inside dog stuff like walk well on a leash, come when called, and stay inside the fence. I have three more things on my To Do list: always potty outside, grow back my stunning white coat (look at the other picture!) and find a safe, warm, happy place to live. GPRA says they will help, especially with that last part.  So, I will cross my paws for luck that maybe you will email info@greatpyratlanta.com or click the “Apply to Adopt” button.

Hey y’all, I’m Aster, a mature gal who found my way to GPRA with the help of some nice people over in Alabama.  I’m about 6 yrs old and laid back.  The humane society that was taking care of  me had my hair shaved down because it was so badly matted but my coat will grow back nice and fluffy.  I am extra special with 1 blue eye and 1 gold eye!  More info coming soon…
