Our Story

Hi there… we’re Juniper and Timber — and we’ve been through quite the adventure together. Now that our babies are grown, healthy, and ready to find their own homes, it’s finally our turn to find a forever family… together. We’re bonded, and after everything we’ve been through, we really lean on each other for comfort and confidence.

Not long ago, we were living deep in the woods in Murphy, North Carolina, doing our very best to keep our ten puppies safe. It was bitterly cold — the wind was strong, and the temperatures were dropping fast. We tucked our babies into a den beneath a huge uprooted tree, hoping it would protect them. We didn’t know help was on the way, but thankfully, kind people noticed us and reached out.

When our rescuers arrived, they worked so hard to bring all of us to safety. We were scared at first — everything was unfamiliar — but they were patient and gentle. One by one, our puppies were carefully gathered. Just when everyone thought they were all safe, they heard a tiny bark from deep inside the root den. One of our little ones was still trapped inside. For two hours, they dug and worked tirelessly, refusing to leave him behind in the freezing weather. Finally, he was pulled to safety, warmed up, and held close. Every single one of our babies made it out.

That day changed everything for us. We went from the cold woods to a warm, safe place where we could finally relax. Our foster mom says we did wonderfully on the ride home, and each day we’ve learned that people can be kind and gentle. We’ve worked hard raising our pups, and now they’re happy, healthy, and thriving — which makes us so proud.

These days, we’re ready to focus on being just Juniper and Timber again. We’re a devoted pair who find comfort in each other. Where one of us goes, the other isn’t far behind. We’d love a home where we can continue our journey side by side, soaking up love, enjoying soft beds, and leaving the cold woods far behind us.

If you’re looking for not just one loyal companion but two grateful hearts with an incredible story, we might be the perfect match. We survived together, we raised our babies together, and now we’re hoping to start our happily-ever-after… together.

Love, Juniper & Timber 💞

Our Story

Hi there! We’re Ham and Cranberry — a bonded pair who have walked every step of this journey side-by-side, and we’re ready to find our forever home… together.

Life didn’t start out easy for us. We were abandoned on a property in Alabama, and a kind local rescue kept us fed until GPRA could bring us to safety. Cranberry delivered our seven puppies overnight in an unheated building, and she’s been the most devoted, loving mom you could ever imagine. While she’s busy caring for our babies, I (Ham) am in boarding — but soon we’ll be reunited again, just like we’re meant to be.

Everyone who meets us says the same things:
We’re gentle. We’re sweet. We’re calm. We’re easy.
Basically… we’re the pyrfect pair.

I, Ham, am the cuddly, friendly guy who loves everyone and walks beautifully on a leash. Cranberry brings the same peaceful, grateful energy — soft, steady, and full of quiet love. When you see us together, it’s clear: we’re happiest side-by-side.

We don’t bring chaos or drama.
We bring serenity, devotion, and the kind of companionship that fills a home with warmth.

We’ve been through a lot, but we’ve never lost hope — because we know the right family is out there, one who will open their hearts to both of us. All we want is what every soul longs for: safety, kindness, and a forever home where we can finally exhale… together.

If you’re searching for two loving Great Pyrenees who will give you nothing but calm affection and gentle companionship, we’d love to meet you.

Our Story

Hi there! We’re Howl and Sophie Castle, a bonded pair, and we’re on the lookout for our forever home together. We’ve been in foster care, and things are going great! We were separated for six weeks—Sophie was busy raising our 10 puppies, and Howl was recovering from his neuter—but we’re back together now, and we’re ready for our next chapter.

I’m Howl, and I’m a ball of energy, full of love, and always ready for fun. I absolutely love to play, especially if there’s another active dog around to join in! I’m still learning my leash manners (I can get a little excited and pull), but I love my walks and car rides, and I’m making good progress. I’m a bit of a worker too—I love alternating between playtime and guarding the yard. It makes me feel important!

And I’m Sophie—I’m a sweet and wonderful mom! While I was nursing our puppies, I always kept a treat in my mouth. It was adorable, and I’m still just as sweet and loving as ever. Now that the puppies are grown, I’m ready to focus on finding my new family with Howl by my side. I’m gentle and easygoing, and I love being around other dogs.

We haven’t met any cats yet, but we’re both open to learning new things, so if you have them, we’ll do our best to adjust. And Howl has a cute quirk—he’s got freckles on his face, making him extra unique!

We’re looking for a family who can keep up with our energy, appreciates our playful side, and is ready to give us the love we deserve. We’re ready to bring double the fun and love into your life!

Greetings from Moose and Shadow, and we’re here to say we are each other’s shadows because we’re a bonded pair! Being bonded means where one goes, the other follows. Just look how cute and snuggly we are in one of our photos? We enjoy being our humans’ shadows too because we love attention! Foster Mom compliments us on our pyr-pawing. We’re trying to tell her how much we love her and asking her to give us more pets, please! And if you’re all out of pets, you can brush us because we love to be brushed. We’re pretty good at listening to and respecting our humans. We already know the commands: no, sit, off, and lay down, and we’re good on the leash! I’ve heard moose have big, strong teeth as well because they eat about 70 lbs of food a day. We’re not super food-motivated, but we do love chew toys. It is just so much fun to chomp on a chew bone! When we’re outside, we have the best time romping around the yard and having zoomies together. To keep us safe, we need a 6-foot fence because we’re big like moose and could jump a shorter fence. Being free to roam the house while you’re away from home is really important to us too as crates don’t work for us. As much as we enjoy playing, we equally enjoy being couch potatoes because that means relaxing inside with our humans. We get along great with other dogs too, so we would have a nice time hanging out with doggy siblings. Have you heard the expression two halves make a whole? Well, we’re two, sweet cuddly halves of a bonded pair, and we’ve got a whole lot of love to give to you!

Jasper & Hazel

Sex

Great Pyrenees

We’re Hazel and Jasper, and both our names symbolize the color green like hazelnut trees and green jasper stone! We may not have a green thumb, but we love laying in the grass and getting belly rubs. We’re not sure if the grass is always greener on the other side of our foster mom’s yard, but Jasper (that’s me) will keep exploring to find out because I love being outside. Hazel (that’s me) can make other dogs go green with envy because I make sleeping inside look so good! Speaking of other dogs, cats, and chickens, we love all creatures on this green earth. Love is something we are very good at; you’ve always got the green light to give us cuddles! Now, we don’t want any of our doggy friends to turn into a green-eyed monster, but our foster mom says we walk very nicely on the leash and are in sync with each other. We may not eat our greens, but if your family wants two easy-going and chill pyrs to feed cookies to, we promise to love you forever!

Great Pyrenees Mix

Hi, I am Lenny, and this is my bonded litter-mate, Sadie! GPRA believes that we are a mix of Great Pyrenees and Husky. Did you know that Great Pyrenees are known for their majesticness and Huskies for their intuitive nature? GPRAs’ volunteers say we are ‘amazing,’ ‘delightful,’ and ‘possess very calm and gentle demeanors.’ We love sitting at our humans’ feet and receiving lots of love and pets. Since Sadie is braver, she will introduce us.

Yes, my brother, Lenny, is a little shyer but very fun and playful. We are pretty athletic, especially me, but my luxating patella was slowing me down quite a bit. I had surgery on 4/25 and it went very well. I will return to longer walks on 6/20 as long as x-rays show everything is ok. I am quite a talker, too, so get ready for fun conversations. (The talking comes from the Husky side!) We also LOVE to cuddle. We are great meeting new humans, and other dogs, even big ones, and the smaller humans (kids) are fantastic! Even though they are not very interested, I even try to play with small dogs! We know basic commands. Another fun fact is that we do not bark at FedEx or UPS delivery trucks! (Go figure!) I am also very proud to share that we are housebroken, have NO accidents, and know how to use a doggy door. We respect fences and do not jump or dig. We can be left home alone and are not scared of thunderstorms.

We are eagerly awaiting our new home.

You can also adopt both of us for the adoption fee of one!

Your Pyrly delightful duo, Sadie and Lenny

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! We are the loving and playful bonded duo, Lilo and Loki! Charmingly named after the lively Disney character (Lilo) and God of Mischief (Loki), we promise that our mischief is only the fun and playful kind!

Loki: Before we begin, I need to tell you a little about my best Pyr friend, Lilo! We grew up together. Although Lilo has never let it affect her happy life, she is deaf. So she needs a little help at times, and I am always by her side.

Lilo: Wait, I am very independent and do not need any help. If either of us needs a little help, it is Loki! He keeps losing the little games we have going on between us!

Loki: As you can tell, we have lots of fun together, and our bond is undeniable. Every day is a great one because we have each other for companionship. Lilo is very perceptive. She always knows what is going on just by looking at me.

Lilo: I only look at you because you are always next to me. Ok, enough with the banter. Now, it’s time to share more about us. We are used to spending all of our hours outside and only came inside for sleep! However, GPRA tells us that we will spend lots more time indoors, which is perfectly fine. We love AC! Will we also have a big backyard for roaming around together?

Loki: I am ready for all of the changes ahead. As long as I have Lilo with me, we will conquer every new adventure.

Lilo: Yes, we are excited about happily-ever-after with our new fur-ever family.

Your Pyr-sational duo,
Lilo ♥️ and Loki ♥️
