My Story

Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m in boarding right now and doing really well. I had the chance to stay in a home for a day, and I did fantastic! I’m a happy girl who loves attention and will let you know when I’m ready for some love. I’ll even bark and whine to get your attention when I see you—just in case you don’t notice me right away!

When I’m walking by other dogs in the kennel, I get excited and want to stop and sniff. I also get pretty eager to play when I see other dogs, but I haven’t had the chance to interact with too many. I did ride in with another Pyr who was also saved from the shelter that I was in and we did well together.

I walk well on a leash, but I’m not a big fan of moving cars or loud noises—I get a little spooked, but I recover quickly. When it comes to eating, I eat well and haven’t shown any signs of food aggression. I’m housebroken too, so no messes here!

I’m super sweet and love being touched—no issues with head or body pets. I’m also really good about taking ear meds, though I get a little squirmy. I love pill pockets with my meds, so giving me oral medication is a breeze! I’m learning to sit and already know my name, which is pretty cool. I even do a little “Pyr Paw” trick, though not on command just yet.

I’m a pretty social girl overall and I’m looking forward to finding my forever home where I can continue to share all my love and energy.

My Story

Hi, I’m Chrissy! I’m a sweet and playful little pup who’s still figuring out the world along with my brother Jack. I’m a bit more cautious when it comes to new people, but once I get to know you, I’ll warm right up and give you all my love. I really enjoy playing outside and am working hard on my potty training – I’m getting better every day! While I’m a little more reserved than my brother Jack, I’m super loving and enjoy giving cuddles and hugs when I feel comfy. I’m curious about other dogs, but I’ve not met any cats yet. If you’re patient and kind, I’ll show you just how sweet and loving I can be. I can’t wait to find my forever family! Apply to adopt me today!

My Story

Hi there! I’m Phoebe, a sweet, docile, and calm puppy who’s ready to find my forever home! Right now, I’m hanging out in a foster home with two awesome canine siblings, and I’m having a blast with them.

I can be a little playful and goofy sometimes, especially when the zoomies kick in, but I’m also super content with just relaxing and snuggling up with my foster mom. Belly rubs are my absolute favorite, and I’ll gladly roll over to show you my soft belly whenever you’re nearby!

I’m food-motivated (who isn’t?) so I use a slow feeder. I’m not protective over my food or toys, so you can take them away no problem. I’m still learning some basic commands like “sit” and “stay,” but I’m picking it up pretty quickly and I’m always ready for a treat or praise when I do something right!

I’m very curious about everything around me, and I love meeting new people and dogs—male or female, it doesn’t matter to me. I get along with everyone, and I’m really sweet to my foster family and visitors. I’m still working on house training, but I’m on a schedule and doing well with it.

Even though I’m a little nervous about car rides (I drool a lot during them!), I’m getting used to it and I’ll need some help getting in for now since I’m still small. I’m not a big barker, and I’m pretty calm about loud noises or other distractions.

If you’re looking for a calm, sweet, and playful pup who’s ready to shower you with love, I’m your girl! I can’t wait to meet you and see if we’re the perfect match. Apply to adopt me today!

My Story

Hi there! My name’s Reba, and I’m on the lookout for my forever home. I used to be a stray, but the wonderful folks at GPRA brought me in and have been helping me ever since. Right now, I’m staying at the vet’s office, but I’m also hoping to find a foster home while I wait for my new family.

I’ve got a bit of a shy side, especially with new people, but once I get to know you, I’m all sweetness. I might take my time to warm up, but trust me, it’s totally worth it! I even like to show my love with a special “Pyr Paw” when I feel comfortable. And just look at my gorgeous green eyes and sweet face—how could anyone resist?

I’m an easygoing, playful girl who loves hanging out with other dogs. I’m still getting the hang of cats, though—sorry, I might bark at them a little. But with time and more exposure, I’m sure I’ll stop barking and could become great pals with them!

I can be a bit skittish at first, so I’ll need someone who’s patient and willing to go slow with me. Once I trust you, I’m all in for fun and cuddles! I walk pretty well on a leash, especially if I have a harness (I could use a little guidance here and there).

I’m good with kids, too—whether they’re 10 or 16, I’m playful and gentle around them.

If you’re a family who can be patient with me while I adjust, apply to adopt me. I can’t wait to show you how sweet, loyal, and loving I can be!

My Story

Hi, I’m Cotton! I’m a sweet, affectionate girl on the lookout for my forever home. I love spending time with humans and get excited for all the attention I can get! I’m very interactive and love making eye contact—there’s nothing better than being petted and receiving love.

Though I’ve mostly lived outside, I’m starting to appreciate the comforts of indoor life—warmth, coziness, and lots of love. I’m playful, easygoing, and always ready for fun. I’m used to guarding at night, but I’m adjusting and starting to sleep more peacefully in the evenings.

I spent a short time in a foster home and really enjoyed cuddling with my foster parents. Now that I’m back at the boarding facility, I’m getting better every day. I’m no longer as afraid as I was in the beginning, and the volunteers are so kind and patient with me. I really enjoy their company and love hanging out with them.

I’m confident and affectionate, both in the play yard and on the trails. Although, the deer on the walking trails are a bit annoying. LOL!

I’m mindful of my surroundings and can be a little wary when exploring new things, so I do need some time to warm up. After my walks, I’m eager to come back to the lobby, but I can be a bit reluctant to return to my kennel—who wants to go back when there’s so much to explore and more pets to enjoy?

I’m housetrained and do well with a consistent schedule. While I can be vocal when I see other dogs or feel protective of my space, I’m just being cautious and looking out for my own. I’ve never met a cat, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about one, but I’m open to it. When it comes to food, I’m not possessive at all. I know the “Sit” command and love to please!

If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loving companion who loves attention, I could be your perfect match!

My Story

Hi there! I’m Beauty (but I also go by Belle—it’s what I answer to the fastest)!

I’m a super sweet, loving, and goofy girl who’s always ready to get belly rubs and sniffs from anyone who will stop and pay attention to me. I’m gentle and kind-hearted, and I absolutely adore people and kids. I’m kind of the “Miss Congeniality” of the dog park—everyone stops to tell me how beautiful I am!

I love getting belly rubs, especially from my foster mom, but I’m not picky about who gives them—if you come near, I’m there for the love. I’m still learning some things like the “sit” command, but I know “wait” and “come,” and I’m working hard on being even better. When we go for walks, I do love a good sniff, though I’m usually a good girl on the leash, except when I spot a squirrel. They’re just too interesting and I want to sniff them!

I’m pretty chill at home and love to just relax. If my foster mom has to leave, I’m not a troublemaker—I mostly sleep and chew on a few toys while she’s gone. I’ve got great house manners and never have accidents inside.

When it comes to food, I’m not super excited about it. I’ll nibble when I’m ready, but I do have some favorite treats like pepperoni sticks and pig ears. I’m not a big barker, but I will give a low grumble or bark if something unexpected happens around my place, like a visitor at odd hours. But don’t worry, I’m not one to cause a ruckus—I’m much more about cuddles than complaints.

I’m perfectly fine with brushing, I actually love it! Even though my foster mom invites me, I’m not interested in getting on the furniture. I just prefer my dog bed or the floor. I do like riding in the car, but I can use a little assistance getting in. My foster mom says, “Up,” and I’ll put my front paws in, then I’ll hop in with her help. I’m still figuring it out, but I’ll master it soon.

So, if you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, and quirky companion, I’m your girl. I promise I’ll make you smile every day—whether it’s with my gentle nature, goofy habits, or love for belly rubs. I can’t wait to meet you and start this next chapter of my life!

P.S. If you ever find yourself wondering why I push food out of my bowl and onto the floor, no one really knows. (Don’t judge me—it’s a thing. It’s just something I do! 😊)

My Story

Hi there! My name’s Princess Goose, also known as Goosey Goose.

I’ve had quite the adventure lately. I was out there, roaming the neighborhood, just doing my thing—sniffing around, exploring, and living life to the fullest. But then, something amazing happened. A nice family found me! Since my owners could not be found, they brought me to GPRA.

Now, I’m in a foster home and doing really well!

I’m a gentle and affectionate girl who loves to spend time relaxing and having fun. I’m a little on the shy side, but warmed up quickly to my new foster family. I’m curious and smart, and I have a silly side that pops out during playtime – especially when we’re playing a game of tag. I’m pretty quiet, but I do bark when I’m excited, like when I’m ready to chase after someone….for fun!

I’ve got a big love for chicken – it’s my favorite treat, and I’ll even eat my meals a little faster when it’s mixed in. I’m not picky, though! While I’m not a huge toy lover, I do enjoy chasing balls and then relaxing next to them when they stop.

I’m a big fan of walks, but don’t expect me to race! I like to take it easy and enjoy the sights and smells. I’m great on a leash and am all about a steady, relaxed pace. I’m still learning some new tricks, like “touch,” but I’m eager to please and will get the hang of things soon enough. I’m still figuring out how to feel about some things – loud noises, fast movements, and some dogs can be a little scary, but I’m all about avoiding confrontation and finding a peaceful solution.

In my foster home, I get along well with Bullfrog, the senior pit bull. I enjoy spending time with him and lying next to him when we nap. I also like sleeping on really soft stuff on the floor (I haven’t quite figured out furniture yet). I’m house-trained, and I’ve been pretty good about going outside when I need to. I’ve even managed some quiet alone time without causing any trouble – I just need a little space and freedom to roam.

While I’m not sure about baths yet, I enjoy getting pets and head rubs. I also tolerate having my paws touched. I don’t drool much, and I don’t counter-surf or chew things I shouldn’t. I’ve got a cute little quirk – I love the water spigot in the backyard. When I’m thirsty, I’ll walk up to it, and you can turn it on so I can drink to my heart’s content. It’s like my own little fountain!

As for cats? I’m not sure yet, so I’ll leave that mystery unsolved for now. But I do want to let everyone know that I’m a flight risk—so I need to be handled with care, especially around opened doors!

Though I can be a little hesitant with certain things, I’m making great progress and showing more of my playful side every day. Life’s looking pretty good right now, and I can’t wait to see what comes next. Who knows? Maybe a new forever family is just around the corner! Until then, I’m safe, loved, and ready for whatever adventures come my way.  💕

My Story

Hi there! I’m Ru, a sweet and gentle female Pyr, looking for my forever home.

Life has been a bit tough lately since my owner passed away, but I’m doing well in my foster mom’s care. She’s been super kind and loving, and I’m starting to feel right at home again!

I’m a lover of all things cozy and calming, and I really enjoy a good brushing session (it’s one of my favorite things!). I also adore treats—especially the natural animal hide and organ ones—yum!

I do like to keep an eye on things, so being able to see out of a window is always a plus. I also love getting all the pets and attention. I’ll let you know I’m comfortable with you by responding to “sit” and “come,” though I may need a little time to warm up first. I do great with having my paws wiped and I’m really good about doing my business outside (no accidents here!).

I’ve been working on a few things, like not tugging on the leash during walks—sometimes I get excited, you know?

I’m a peaceful presence, and I enjoy sleeping at the foot of my foster mom’s bed—just quietly keeping watch. I’m a total angel when I’m at ease. I can’t wait to find a family who will love me as much as I will love them!

I’m a bit of a sensitive soul and when it comes to meeting new people, I can be a little shy but I’m working on it!

I’m great with cats and other dogs I’ve met, and I’m not into any kind of destructive behavior—I’m just a laid-back gal looking for a peaceful life.

Overall, I’m a gem, just looking for a calm, understanding home where I can continue to thrive. If you’re looking for a gentle and loving companion, I might just be your girl!
