My Story

Hi there! My name’s Luigi, and I’m a sweet and curious pup who’s looking for my forever home! I’m currently living in a foster home with two awesome foster doggy siblings, and while I’m still a little shy when meeting new people and dogs, I’m warming up every day. It’s been so exciting to learn new things and have lots of fun!

I’m a pretty playful guy, and I love treats! I can get really excited when I see one coming my way. My foster mom gave me a slow feeder bowl because I tend to eat fast, but I’m still learning to be a little more patient at mealtime. Don’t worry, I don’t protect my food or toys – I’m easy-going when it comes to sharing, whether it’s my bowl or my favorite squeaky toy.

Even though I’m a good walker, I also enjoy cuddling up on the couch and getting some quality belly rubs. I’ve even learned to sit, lay down, and come when asked (though I still need a little encouragement to do it quickly). I get a little shy when called, but I’m working on it!

I’ve also been learning how to communicate that I need to go outside for potty time. Right now, I’m watching my foster dog siblings use a training bell by the door, and I’m trying to figure it out too. Sometimes, I just give my foster mom a little nudge to let her know it’s time for a bathroom break.

I’m not a big fan of loud noises like fireworks or sirens, but I’m getting braver with every passing day. And when it comes to car rides, I’m a little hesitant at first, but once I’m inside, I’m all good! I’m also not a huge barker, just a normal, average amount of barking for me, mostly when I want to say hello.

One thing that always makes my foster mom smile is the little grunting sounds I make when I stretch or when I’m greeting them. Oh, and I have this funny habit: before I settle down for belly rubs, I’ll turn around and show my tush first. It’s my way of saying, “I’m ready for some love!”

I may be a little shy at first, but I’m growing braver every day, and I promise that I’ll be your best friend if you give me a chance. I’m just a calm, sweet, goofy puppy, and I can’t wait to find my forever home where I can be loved and share my quirky personality with you.

My Story

Hi! I’m Mario and came to GPRA with my brother, Luigi. We have quite the story to tell.

On the morning of September 29th, everything changed. The air was thick with worry as news spread about a terrible fire at the Bio Lab. We had no idea what was happening outside our little world in the shelter. But soon, we learned we would have to leave in a hurry. The humans were evacuating us due to some scary fumes in the air. It was dark outside as we were loaded into crates. We were scared and confused as the sounds of chaos filled the air. Just when we thought things couldn’t get any stranger, a kind lady from GPRA arrived. She seemed determined to help, and before long, we were in her van and on our way to a new place.

As we drove away from the chaos, we snuggled against one another. The lady had a warm smile and gentle hands. She took us for a little walk when we arrived at her home. We could feel the tension melting away as we rolled in the grass, inviting belly rubs. It was the first time we felt safe in what felt like forever.

The next morning, we were met with another surprise: a bath! We were a bit unsure at first, especially since we were both so itchy and flea-infested, but once we were was all cleaned up, we both felt like new dogs. After our bath, we met another kind lady from GPRA, who whisked us off to the vet for our intake appointment.

The vet was friendly and we could feel the love from everyone around us. It was hard to believe that just the day before, we were in such a scary situation. Now, we were on our way to a new life.

We’re excited to find our forever homes! It would be best for us to be adopted separately, so we can each get all the love and attention we deserve!

My Story

Hello, Pyr Friends! Meet me, Fred! My GPRA family says my nickname could be Fabulous Fred because I’ve frankly mastered a lot of skills. I’m already housetrained which is fantastic, and I give you friendly bark or whine to let you know, “I need to go out, please!” Riding in the car is also something I’m very facile at doing. Because I enjoy hanging out with other dogs outside the home, we can totally hop in the car and head to the dog park! Or, we can go for a coffee run and grab a Frappuccino. When we walk in the neighborhood, I’ll be known as Famous Fred because of how friendly I am to everyone I meet, including the kiddos. While I love seeing my fellow canines and children on leash, I prefer to be the only dog in the house, and I do best in a quiet, adult only home. My GPRA friends will tell you that people are my favorite. Once you take me home, you’ll see what a sweet, cuddly, and happy boy I am! As a young pyr, I’m still full of that fresh pyr energy, and I’d enjoy a place to get out my zoomies. Also, because I’m a youthful male pyr, I’m still learning my leash manners although everyone says I’m pretty good on the leash. One of my most famed qualities is my keen intelligence! I know all the fundamental commands: sit, paw, down, and stay. I’ve even heard some people call me Fair Fred because of how beautiful I am, but all I really want is to be your Faithful Fred companion who will love you forever!

My Story

Hello! I’m Buddy Pan, a lovable Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix, and I’m on a journey to find my forever home. I’m a big cuddle bug who loves to snuggle and be close to my humans!

I’ve been with my current foster family for a few weeks, and I’m already making great strides. When I first arrived, I was a bit overwhelmed and had some fence-fighting moments with the resident dogs, but after some face-to-face playtime, we’ve become buddies, and the backyard is much calmer now!

I’m learning to control my excitement and not jump up on people, and I’m doing great with my roomies, Bandit, Grits, and Kiun. We eat next to each other without any issues, and I’m not food-guarding anymore. I even let my foster mom take my bowl while I’m eating—what a good boy I am!

I’m fully housetrained with no accidents and I get along splendidly with cats and people alike. My leash manners are improving, and while I’ve been known to be reactive to other dogs and people in the past, I’m learning to stay calm on our walks. I’ve had some great outings, like at the vet and Home Depot, where I was a perfect gentleman!

I have a lot of energy and love to run, fetch, and retrieve toys. I’d thrive in a home where I have a furry friend to play with, as I’m used to being around other dogs. I’m eager to please and very trainable, just like my Golden Retriever side!

I’m looking for a dog-savvy adopter who can continue my training journey. With the right guidance, I’ll be the fantastic companion you’ve been waiting for!

Welcome to Pyr-Land! I’m Peter Pan! Except, I’m not going to Neverland as I already live in Pyr-Land. At least, that’s what I call my wonderful foster home. I’m a boy pyr, but I’m not a lost boy because I’m going to come home with one of you! This pup dude is thinking happy thoughts, so I can fly on home to my new family! Foster Mama says that I’m both athletic and love to play. She also says I’m very loving and affectionate. In Neverland, puppies never grow up, but here in the real world, I will. That means I’ll need potty-training, leash-training, and basic command training along with a lot of love, patience, and attention to make sure I become the good pyr boy I’m meant to be. Tinkerbell has been known to grant wishes, and I’ve asked her to use her pixie dust to make sure I get adopted soon. Please make my wish come true!

Hello, we’re Mona and Lena! I’m Mona, and I’m in the first pic. You can call me Lady Blue Eyes because I’ve got these gorgeous blue eyes that just sparkle! You can see I’m a playful girl because I’ve got my tail wagging. Hi, I’m Lena in the second picture, and I’ve got the melting brown eyes of the pyrs you know and love! Look how sweet and good I am, just sitting there peacefully and waiting for my foster mama to take my picture. As we’re young pyr mix pups, we will need lots of love, attention, and training through positive reinforcement. Important things like leash training, potty training, and learning basic commands will ensure we grow up happy and well-behaved, and we will learn these skills by being rewarded through praise and treats…the way to every pyr’s heart! Raising one of us little pyr ladies will be the start of a long and beautiful relationship, so consider adopting me (Mona) or me (Lena), today!

It’s a beautiful day to be a pyr mix! Hi, I’m Bella, and I’m charmed to meet you! I think you probably know that my name means beautiful. And, my golden and cream coat is quite stunning! Looks aside, I’m a young pyr girl looking for my forever home where I will get lots of attention. One of my most attractive qualities is that I am housetrained! That means I use the outdoors as my potty area like a true lady. And, after I do my business, I can sit pretty as a picture in the green grass! When the deer walk by my yard,  I don’t even react. To me, they’re just a part of the delightful landscape. I actually get along really well with other animals too. Other dogs are always easy on the eyes, so I consider all my canine brethren to be my friends. Kitty-cats are delightful too! While my fellow fuzzy creatures are as pretty as peaches, I just adore my human family. They’re irresistible! I love to hang out with people, and I’m good with kids too. Beauty is in the eye on the beholder, and when I look at you, I see the most beautiful thing a dog could hope for: a loving family ready to adopt me!

Everyone knows that April showers bring May flowers! But, this spring, you get a pyr mix puppy, instead! A little pyr pup like me is as soft and precious as a bed of roses, so I need a gentle and loving home. What could be better than snuggling with a petal-soft pyr puppy? As all pyr pooches do, I’ll start growing like a wildflower, so I’ll need positive reinforcement, which means training through treats and praise, and a lot of patience to help me blossom. Luckily, Foster Mama says I’m sweet as honey and smart as can be, so training will come easily to me. Potty-training and leash-training in the great outdoors will be so much fun! Of course, springtime is for frolicking, so I’ll want to play a lot too. Some teething toys or even a doggy sibling will help keep me busy. Foster Mom also says I’m really social and get along well with other dogs too. Take me home today to let the sunshine in and help this springtime pup grow into the delightful pyr I’m meant to be!

Hi, I’m Kooper, and it’s super to meet you! Did you know I’m a Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd mix? It’s a super-duper combination because I’m a big boy, but I’m also tall and have short hair. Foster Mom says, I’m still getting used to the leash, so I have a few bloopers on the walk like going around trees or light poles. I’m a good listener, though, and I’m never reactive on the leash. If we take a looper around the neighborhood every day, I know I’ll master leash-walking in no time! Foster Mama also says I’m quite the mover. I’m an active young pyr boy who loves his outdoor time. Because I’m very smart and can jump high, I definitely need supervision during outside time. With my energy, I love to play until I’m in a stupor, so a doggy sibling would be awesome for me! My foster family also says I’m an attention-scooper. I love to be where my people are to get as many cuddles as I can. Dogs and other people make me so happy that you might call me a grouper because I love to be a part of a fuzzy and human family! Could this grouper Kooper be the pyr-fect pup for you?

Hi, Pyr Pals! I’m Odie Isaiah, and as you can see by my cute picture, I’m a pyr-mix. My GPRA transporter says my coat is gorgeous! And, it’s a good thing too because I LOVE to be petted. Attention is my favorite! Anyone who comes up to me is a friend who can pet me and give me lots of love. If you’re looking for a social doggo, I’m all yours! One thing about being so friendly is that I’m really eager to get to everyone, so I do pull on the leash when I first come out to walk. MY GPRA friends have been using commands when I walk, so I’m actually good on the leash as long as I receive my commands and redirection. I’m happy because walking is so much fun! Once we get into the yard, I like to play and chase a ball. I really need a fenced-in backyard because I have a lot of zoomies to do! You can even brush me if you want or let me play in the sprinkler. I already ride well in the car, though, which is good because we gotta go places if I’m going to keep meeting new friends. I’m a young, sweet boy who is looking for my pyr-fect home!
