My Story

Hi there! I’m Ham — short for Thanksgiving Ham — and I promise I’m just as sweet and comforting as my name suggests.

Life started out a little rough for my family. Cranberry and I were abandoned on a property in Alabama, and our wonderful friends at a local rescue helped keep us fed until GPRA could bring us to safety. Cranberry is busy being the best mom to our seven puppies, and while she’s caring for them, I’m spending time in boarding… where everyone tells me I’m ā€œan absolute pleasure.ā€ (Blushing!)

I really am the definition of a gentle, loving Great Pyrenees.
I adore people, get along with everyone I meet, and I’m happiest leaning in for cuddles or soaking up kind words. They say I’m easy on the leash, sweet as can be, and pretty darn adorable — but I’ll let you be the judge of that!

I’m the perfect pyr companion: calm, affectionate, friendly, and ready to give someone my whole heart.

If you’re looking for a big, soft, loving boy to share your home, I’d love to meet you. Maybe this Thanksgiving season, I’ll finally find something I can be truly grateful for — my forever family.

My Story

Hi, I’m Stewart!

I’m currently hanging out in boarding, but what I’d really love is a soft place to land—a foster home or, even better, a forever family of my own.

I’m a pretty easygoing guy. When I walk past other dogs in their kennels or see them out in the parking lot, I mostly mind my own business. I don’t look for trouble, and I don’t cause any. Strangers? Clinic staff? No problem at all. I respect everyone I meet and enjoy the attention I get along the way.

I walk well on a leash, and loud noises or busy traffic don’t bother me—I just take it all in stride. I’m not much of a barker and I’ve been keeping my kennel clean, so everyone thinks I’m housebroken. I eat well, can be pilled if needed, and don’t show any food aggression. You can pet me all over too—I’m pretty comfortable with gentle hands.

The shelter transporter described me as ā€œsuper sweet,ā€ and I think that sums me up pretty well. I was a little shy at first, but I settled in quickly and rode perfectly in the car—just stretched out, relaxed, and watched the world go by through the window.

I’m still waiting to meet my new person or family. If you’re looking for a calm, kind dog who just wants to be loved, I might be your guy. I can’t wait to start my next adventure with you.

My Story

Hi there, I’m Chief! Life wasn’t always easy for me, but those days are behind me now. I’m in a loving foster home with my buddy Autumn, and we’re having the best time together. I’m a happy, playful guy who loves everyone I meet—people and dogs alike!

I’ve got great manners and no food or toy guarding here. I just want to please and be part of the fun. My foster mom says I’m very sweet and friendly, and I think that’s pretty accurate! I’m still learning my leash manners, but I’m catching on fast, especially with my harness lead—it really helps me do my best.

I’d love a forever home where I can keep learning, playing, and giving lots of love. And if you’re thinking about adopting two dogs, Autumn and I would make an awesome pair—we’re already best friends!

My Story

Hey there, I’m Lance, and while I’m trying to make the best of things here in boarding, I’d really rather be hanging out in a home — maybe yours! I came from the shelter, and everyone says I’ve been a total gentleman since arriving. I’m calm, friendly, and love getting attention from people (ear scratches are my favorite).

I walk well on leash — okay, I get excited and pull a little, but I’m learning! I’m also housebroken, eat well, and I’m not fussy about anything. I’ve been polite with other dogs, curious but not pushy, and I don’t seem bothered by loud noises or cars. The clinic staff says I’m a ā€œgood boyā€ who’s easy to handle for just about anything — I’ll take that compliment!

I can be a little chatty sometimes, but that’s just me saying, ā€œHey, I’m here! Let’s hang out!ā€ All I really want is someone to love and a comfy spot to rest my head.

If you’re looking for a friendly, loyal Pyr who’s ready to make your house feel like home, I think we’d make a great match.

My Story

Hi, I’m Finn!

I’m currently living in a foster home with another Great Pyrenees, Rosie, and two awesome human girls… and let me tell you, life has been getting better every single week. My true personality is really beginning shining through. I’m an extremely affectionate boy who loves being near my people, soaking up attention, and collecting all the gentle pets and praise I can get.

I do great with Rosie now. We had a rocky start, but once the calming medication from boarding was out of my system, we were reintroduced and everything has gone smoothly. We eat separately, but the rest of the time we pretty much do everything together. I’m a little nosy with her sometimes and I occasionally need a reminder to give her personal space—but I’m learning! I’m polite at doorways, I don’t mind drinking water next to her, and we share beds and bones just fine.

Speaking of bones… I do have a funny habit of gathering all the chews when Rosie isn’t looking and burying them like hidden treasure. If she ends up with two, I might bark once and then sneak off with the one she’s not chewing on. No aggression—just goofy pyr behavior and a bit of ā€œfinder’s keepersā€ energy.

I’m wonderful with kids, and I ride well in the car. I did drool a little from stress, but I settled down and handled it like a champ. I also manage steps—short or long—without any problem.

In the yard (and it’s a big yard!), I do great whether I’m alone, with Rosie, or with dogs and kids. I haven’t shown any interest in escaping, and I can be left for up to six hours with no issues. My foster mom thinks I could thrive in lots of different homes: a family with kids, someone with land, or even an older couple who enjoys peaceful walks and quiet companionship. I’m pretty versatile and adapt well as long as I’m loved.

I’ll admit I’m clueless about commands—but I make up for it by being incredibly adorable. I get excited during treat time because I want so badly to please, but I’m learning my manners. I just need someone patient and kind to guide me.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, happy boy who’s blossoming more every day, I might be the perfect match for you. I’m ready to keep learning, keep loving, and keep becoming the best version of myself—with you by my side.

My Story

Hi there, I’m Hector! You might notice right away that I’m a tripod — yep, just three legs — but don’t let that fool you. I get around great and don’t let it slow me down one bit!

When I came to GPRA from the shelter, I was in pretty rough shape — dirty, matted, and just plain uncomfortable. But once I got a good bath, a long brushing, and a fresh start, I felt like a brand-new Pyr. I even rolled over for belly rubs and gave out hugs to say thank you!

I’m a calm, loving guy who’s happiest when I can lean on someone who cares. I walk well on leash, stay relaxed when I see other dogs, and take all the new sights and sounds of the world in stride. I love people — whether it’s strangers, clinic friends, or volunteers — and I’ve got a gentle heart that just wants affection in return.

I’m housebroken, eat well, and don’t mind taking medicine if I need it. Sometimes I like to ā€œchatā€ a little (what can I say, I have things to share!), but mostly I’m an easygoing companion who just wants to be by your side.

Right now, I’m staying in boarding, but what I really dream of is a foster or forever home where I can finally relax, love, and be loved.

Could that be with you?

My Story

Hi, I’m Toby, and if there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I’m all about fun, friends, and freedom! I’m a happy, goofy, energetic guy who loves to run, play, and bounce my way through life (literally — sometimes all four feet leave the ground when I’m excited!).

I absolutely love other dogs and have the best time running around the yard with my foster siblings. I’m a respectful runner — I like to be chased, but I always play fair. I’m still learning that not everyone can keep up with my long, easy strides!

When it’s time to settle down, I enjoy grazing on my meals and my favorite treats — pizzles, cow ears, and a little wet food. I’m polite with my food and toys and don’t mind sharing. I walk well on leash, make great eye contact, and stay calm even when there’s a lot going on around me.

I love people (all people!) and have a big heart that just wants to connect. Brushing and baths are fine by me — as long as we keep it short so I don’t get bored. I’m respectful of fences, not afraid of loud noises, and I even hop into the car all by myself (though I might try to sneak into the front seat for extra attention!).

My foster family says I’m pure joy to have around — playful, happy, and just a little bit goofy. Watching me run or bounce around is guaranteed to make you smile.

I’m still waiting for my forever home, and I can’t wait to find someone who loves my big energy and even bigger heart. Could that be you?

My Story

Hi there, I’m Camino—a big, lovable ball of fluff looking for my foster or forever family! If you’re searching for a gentle, goofy, and loyal buddy who’s equal parts outdoor adventurer and couch companion, you’ve found your match.

I’m house-trained (always!), and I’ve got a special way of asking to go out—I do a little seal-like wiggle or head to the back door. I have a medium energy level, which means I’m up for long walks, car rides, or a good romp in the yard, but I’m also happy to hang out and relax. Walks with me are easy—I might get a little excited at first, but once we get going, I’m a great leash partner.

Some of my favorite things? Cool morning walks, lounging in the grass, car rides, and getting lots of attention from new friends. I’ll happily plop my big fluffy self right on top of you—I don’t always realize my size, but I promise it’s just my way of showing love. I also know my basics like sit, stay, and down.

I get along well with other dogs (I bounce like a bunny when I meet a new one!) and I’m friendly with people wherever I go. Kids and adults alike usually make me light up with joy, though I’d do best in a home with older kids.

A few quirks make me extra special:

  • I’m not really into dog beds—I’d rather chill on the couch or even the cool floor.

  • Big trucks are not my favorite. They’re loud, and I get jumpy around them.

  • I’ve got some skin sensitivities (definitely no chicken for me!) and sometimes need a little extra TLC with baths and ear cleanings, but regular care keeps me comfy.

  • I’m not much of a kisser, but I’ll lean on you with my whole fluffy weight and give you the best snuggles.

At the end of the day, I’m a friendly, playful, easy-going boy who loves people, loves being outside, and just wants a family to love me back. I promise to bring big smiles, fluffy hugs, and lots of heart to your home.

Could I be your guy?

My Story

Hi there! I’m Rocko, a happy, playful pup who’s looking for my very own foster or forever home. I wandered up to some property one day and was lucky enough to be taken in by GPRA, and now I’m dreaming about the family I’ll get to grow up with.

I may still be young, but I’ve already learned some good manners! I know how to sit, stay, and lie down, and I walk really nicely on a leash (no pulling or zig-zagging!). I’m housetrained almost all the time, and when I’m left alone, I can hang out in the living room for a few hours without a problem.

I’m a social little guy who loves everyone I meet—kids, grown-ups, strangers, other dogs—you name it, I’ll greet them with tail wags. I’m even good with cats! (One hissed and lunged at me once, and I just sat politely like a gentleman.)

My activity level is medium—I love playtime, walks, and hanging out with doggy friends, but I’m just as happy being a love bug and soaking up all the pets. My only ā€œflawā€? Baths. Yuck. I really, really don’t like them. But hey, nobody’s perfect, right?

What I really want is a family to love, play with, and grow up alongside. Could that be you? Come meet me—I promise you’ll fall in love! šŸ’•

My Story

Hi, I’m Gilbert—but my foster mom calls me GillĀ for short! I’m a young, energetic boy with lots of love to give and a big heart that just wants to be close to my people. If I could be a lap dog all the time, I would—I love to cuddle, snuggle, and be touching you whenever I can.

I’m still in my playful puppy stage, so I enjoy toys (and yes, shredding paper is pretty fun too!). I don’t guard my food or toys—you can take them from me with no problem. Treats are my favorite, and I’ll happily work for them as I keep learning my commands. Right now, I’m practicing sit, recall, and leash manners, and I’m getting better every day.

I’ve done great with brushing and handling, and I don’t mind baths either. I’m also respectful of fences, not much of a barker, and I sleep well on my dog bed—or even the couch if I get the chance! I’m kennel-trained when my foster can’t be home, but mostly I just love being with people and soaking up all the affection.

I get along with visitors and other animals, and while I haven’t met kids yet, I’m a sweet, social boy who loves making new friends. Car rides aren’t my favorite yet since I need a little help getting in, but once I’m in, I’ll just drool a bit and settle in for the ride.

What makes me special? My foster mom says it’s how affectionate and loving I am. I’ve got the energy and curiosity of a puppy but the heart of a cuddler. If you’re looking for a smart, active, and affectionate companion who will always be by your side, I think we’d be the perfect match. šŸ’•
