Hello, Pyr Friends! I’m Oberon, or Obi, for short. Did you know Oberon means royal bear? The name suits me perfectly! Just look at my pictures. Aren’t my badger markings just regal? Foster Mama also says I’m a cuddly, snuggly bear! That’s because I love people and kids. They just make my little bear heart so happy! Being royal means being responsible as well. And, I am Mr. Responsibility when it comes to pottying outside. I’m fully housetrained, so when I have to attend to state business, a.k.a do my business, I stand by the door to let you know it’s time. My foster mom tells me I’m very obedient and trainable too, especially when there are training treats involved. I already know the commands: sit, stay, come, and down. A good prince always listens to his caretakers! My fellow canines are a part of my royal family too, and we get along magnificently. At my foster home, I live with a male and female pyr who are a little bit older than me, and there’s nothing more honorable than respecting your elders. We have so much fun romping around the royal gardens, I mean the yard, and if I get too rowdy, they kindly let me know. Being the dignified prince that I am, I always listen. Foster Mom says I’m a young, pyr boy learning about the world around me, and I agree.  One kingly sport I’ve already mastered is fetch. We’ll have so much together! You can throw the tennis ball, and I’ll chase it and bring it back to you. I’d love to see our kingdom too, so we can also go on a royal promenade, or a walk, together in the neighborhood. Or, if you want to venture out to ye olde coffee shoppe or maybe even the park, we can because I’m great in the car! Please consider taking me home today. I can’t think of anything more majestic than becoming a part of a family who will love me and help me continue to grow into the noble pyr I’m meant to be!

Pleased to meet you pyr people! I’m Peter, and I’m paw-sitively pumped to go to my pyr-fect home! I’m a young male pyr, so I’m still learning how to walk on the leash. When I see other dogs on our walks, I get so excited and pull. Because I look to my humans for direction, though, I know I’ll be prancing perfectly in no time! Everyone’s prepping for summer, so if we need to run some errands, you can take me along. I am learning how to ride in a car too, but I can get a little carsick and have to lifted into the car. One skill I’ve pretty much mastered, however, is going potty outside. In other words, I’m house-trained! Summertime fun is something I already know really well too! I am perky pup with lots of puppy energy, so I am ready for zoomies in backyard with my foster doggy sibling any time. I’m really personable with kids too because of my very sweet and affectionate personality. Plus, kids love to give hugs and cuddles, and I’m all for it! Belly-rubs and ear-rubs are a pleasant way to spend a summer afternoon too. While I am my plucky self around my foster family, I do take a little time to warm up to new people, and I can get a little head-shy. I have a curious and loving nature, though, so I warm up quickly. While I’ve been told I have a pearly-white smile, I do need to gain some weight. Good thing I like liver treats! Chewing on things in general is fun, but I am learning to only chew on my toys. I know the word “no,” so I just need some practice. When my foster family leaves me home alone, though, I do really well in the crate. For me, puppy paradise is being with the people I love. Won’t you take me home and make this peace-loving pyr a part of your family?

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!

Good morning, Sunshine! I’m Abner, and my name means “light.” I’ve been told I’m like a ray of sunshine because of my sweet and mellow personality. Right now, I’m like a sunrise, slowly warming up to all the humans I meet. I take time to learn about the people I interact with, and then I can start to trust them. My favorite way to get to know you is by sniffing. Instead of being sun-kissed, you’ll get little nose kisses from me! After a few sniffs, I’ll also take treats gently from you if you place them near me. Treat-giving and sniffing are great ways for us to start bonding. I know that once we develop a closeness, our relationship will be like walking on sunshine! One creature I’ve already learned to trust is my fellow canine. I’m good with other dogs, so it might be nice to have another dog to play with. Basically, I need a family who can be my guiding light, and I will give them all my love and loyalty in return. Help me let the sunshine in and consider adopting me today!

Moochie, here! And, I’m ready to give you lots of smoochies! My GPRA friends say I’m very lovable. Getting pets also makes this poochie smile. Just check out all my grinning pics! I was getting lots of ear and noses scratches that day, and those are my favorite kind of scratches. Being around people always gives me a rush like a cup of mocha! I’ll even say, “More attention, please!” with a nice pyr paw. Kids are fun to be with as well. They’re as sweet as mochi ice cream just like me! While I’m a velcro pup who wants to be right beside you, I like being with other dogs too. I am energetic like a human after drinking a matcha latte, so I know I’d love a doggy sibling or some doggy friends to play with. We could frolic around in the backyard or at a dog park. Scoochie, I mean scooch, on over and apply to adopt me!

Hi, Everybody! I’m Joe Cruz! This Joe goes with the flow. I’m such a sweet boy. I’m good with kids, people, and other dogs. At the dog park, I like to sniff the other dogs and be friendly. As Foster Mama says, I don’t have a mean bone in my body! When I’m at home, I love to play with my doggy sibling. All I really want to do, though, is be where you are. While you’re having your morning cup of joe, I’ll sit by you for some pets and snuggles. Foster Mom also says I’m very calm. My gentle demeanor means I am great with kids! My young foster human sibling is brushing me in one of the pictures, and I just let her get on with it. Being groomed is something I tolerate very well. Another thing I like to do is chew, so I’ll need some sturdy chew toys! On the leash, I’m a little like a joey, a baby kangaroo, learning how to walk because I weave and pull. Foster Mama tells me I’m a fast learner, though, so I’ll be cruzing, I mean cruising, smoothly down the sidewalk in no time! Also, car rides and stairs are not my vibe, but I’m working on it. One thing I can’t learn to love is the crate. I think it’s because I love my people so much that I want to be able to guard the family home while they’re out. As every Joe Schmoe knows, pyrs like to protect their home! The good news is I’m basically housetrained! Here’s the deal: I’m no average Joe. I’m Joe Cruz, and I’m a very special and soft-hearted pyr who can’t wait to go home with you!

Hello, everybody! I’m Troy Turner. Pleased to meet you! Did you know my name means soldier? I stand tall like a soldier at attention because I have really long legs. I’m also ready for a uniform check at any time because I keep my coat in tip-top shape. Foster Mama says I love to be bathed and brushed, so keeping me groomed is easy. Us soldiers also have to be strong, so I need to gain some weight. I do love my food and beef lung treats too! Boot camp always involves exercise to build muscle, and walking and running are so much fun. I even know the words: “walk” and “go out.” We have to be brave as well. Cars and leashes were new to me, but I took to them like a champ! I rode well in the car when I was transported, and I was easy on the leash too. After all, marching is being-a-soldier 101! Every soldier also knows how to be observant, so I do pull a bit on the leash when I smell something exciting. I do know “sit,” though, so you can ask me to do so before you put on the leash. I’ll need a 6-foot fence too because I could escape if something catches my interest. A good soldier always watches out for his squad, and I’ll love keeping my eye on you. I wouldn’t want to miss any cuddling opportunities! But, when you have to leave the compound, I mean house, you can count on me to protect it and not destroy anything. Napping is nice too, so I’ll probably get some shut-eye in while you’re gone. You won’t have to worry about me using the potty either because I’m house-trained! In fact, I know how to use a doggy door, or I sit by the back door to ask to go out. Part of soldiering is also being a diplomat, and I am friendly to everyone and every dog that I meet. And, once I get to know you, I love getting snuggles and pets. It’s all part of my gentle nature and laid-back personality. I am good with other dogs as well, so they can be a part of our crew too. My foster dog brother and I love to play together, and I’m such a trooper because I share all my toys with him. I’m a sweet and loving boy who can’t wait to be the newest recruit in your family!

Salutations, my pyr people! I’m Yoda Bear, but Foster Mama calls me Bear for short. She says I’m soft and cuddly as a teddy bear because I love being snuggled by my humans. Giving hugs and nudging your hand for more pets are my specialties! While wild bears don’t keep their dens particularly clean, Foster Mom tells me that I’m an excellent house guest. She says I never chew or slobber, and I only bark at delivery people. I’m just telling my foster mom that her packages are here. Also, I always ask to go potty outside, so I’m very housetrained! And, when new people come over, I’m as friendly and charming as fellow bear, Winnie-the-Pooh. I live up to my other namesake too! I’ve been told Yoda was a warrior both strong in body and mind. I am strong on the leash, but Foster Mom is working on it with me. She is impressed by my intelligence because I quickly learn what I should or shouldn’t do, so I’ll be able to walk without pulling in no time! Yoda was also friends with all different kinds of people, and I like to hang out with other dogs AND cats. While Yoda can jump far distances to get to a new place, I have to ride in a car, but, good news, I am a great car rider. I’m not in a galaxy far, far away; I’m right here, and I’m a sweet, easy-going dog who is ready to come home with you!

Howdy, y’all! I’m Big Saint, a new arrival to GPRA! My transporters actually think my name fits me well. I’m tall and saintly. While I may not be a saint per se, I am calm and loving. I like to be petted all over. I ride well in the car because I mostly just sleep in it. If the window is open, though, I do like to sniff the air. I will need a little help with training because I’m new to leash walking. I don’t really pull on the leash, so I just need help knowing to stay by your side and which direction we’re going. I’m also a curious boy that perks up at strange sounds and scents. I love treats too, but, really, who doesn’t? I am truly a gentle giant looking for my forever home. I’m hoping that could be yours! Please come to meet me after filling out an application at greatpyratlanta.com.

Hi, y’all! I’m Tucker, and I’m so pleased to meet you! My foster family says I’m a really special dog because of how sweet and loving I am. Foster Papa says I’m such a happy boy! I’m also special because I’m a tripod which means I have three legs. Having only three legs has not stopped me from living my best life! I can walk and play like any young pyr. I’ve even been known to jump fences, so a 6-foot privacy fence is a must for me! One of my favorite activities is taking a nice walk in the neighborhood, and my foster parents enjoy walking me because I’m great on the leash. I also love people, so it’s fun to meet all the neighbors! Foster Mama can say, “Sit,” and I’ll sit and get pets. We could go to the park too for a stroll because I’m also good in the car. When we’re at home, getting pets and lots of love is all I want to do. I even love getting brushed because it feels almost like getting pets! Being good during a grooming session is just one of my talents. I’m also house-trained! If I have to potty, I go to the back door to let you know I gotta go!  I’m a good housemate too because I get along with cats and other female dogs around my size. Foster Dad says I’m relaxed and chill, so I’m an easy-going pyr guy. I’ve heard that Tucker means tailor who is a person that makes clothes fit just right. Well, I don’t know how to make clothes, but I do know that my loving and laid-back nature will make me a pyr-fect fit for any home!
