My Story

Hi, I’m Casper August, and if you’re looking for a fluffy best friend who wants to be right by your side, I may be your guy! 🐾💙

I came to GPRA with my four pups, the August Litter, and now that my dad duties are behind me, I’m ready to find a special place of my own. I’m currently in boarding, but I would really love a foster or forever home where I can soak up all the love and attention I’ve been missing.

The walking team has gotten to know me pretty well, and they say I’m an absolute sweetheart. I’m easy and relaxed on the leash with no pulling, so taking a stroll with me is a breeze. After our walks, though, I have one very important item on my agenda—cuddle time!

I’m what you might call a Velcro Pyr. ❤️ I love my people and will happily follow you around the yard just so I can be close to you. If you sit down, there’s a pretty good chance I’ll be nearby asking for some love—and I may even give you my Pyr paw to make sure you don’t forget about me!

I’m also very easy to brush, which is a good thing when you’re as handsome and fluffy as I am. 😊

Right now, I’m waiting in boarding and dreaming about what it would be like to have a home and a person to call my own. If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet, affectionate, people-loving Pyr, come meet me.

I’m Casper August, and I’m ready to be somebody’s very best shadow. 🐾

🐾 SOFT VOICES, BELLY RUBS & A LITTLE PATIENCE ARE THE WAY TO MY HEART 🐾

My Story

Hi, I’m Frehley! 🐾

I’m a sweet, sensitive Pyr who is settling into my foster home and showing everyone more of my personality as I learn that I’m safe and loved.

Once I know and trust you, you’ll get to see a pretty adorable side of me. I’ll greet you with a smile that shows off my “teethies,” along with the cutest little piggie grunts. I’m also a big fan of belly rubs—and don’t worry, I’ll let you know when I’m ready for one! ❤️

I’m potty trained, leash trained, and I enjoy playing with a ball and relaxing with my favorite bone. I’ve even been groomed and did a great job!

I’m still learning to be brave in a world that can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. Loud cars, sudden noises, unfamiliar people, and loud or high-pitched voices can make me nervous. Want to know the way to my heart? Speak softly. I respond especially well to gentle voices and even whispers.

I have some opinions about flooring, too. Hardwood? No, thank you! Tile makes me a little unsure, but carpet is definitely my happy place.

As I build trust, I’m comfortable with my people touching my head, ears, chin, chest, and belly. I’m more worried about anyone getting near my back end or hind legs, so I need someone who will respect my boundaries and give me the time I need to feel secure.

My foster family is helping me work through my fears, including improving my leash skills when something scares me. With patience and reassurance, I’m learning how to settle again after those scary moments.

My ideal person will understand Great Pyrenees and, even better, have experience with fearful or sensitive dogs. I don’t need someone to rush me. I need someone who will listen to what I’m telling them, celebrate my progress, and help me continue building confidence at my own pace.

There’s a happy, affectionate, belly-rub-loving boy underneath those worries, and my foster family is already getting to see him. With the right person by my side, I think I’m going to keep getting braver and braver.

Could you be the patient, loving person I’ve been waiting for? ❤️🐾

🐾 CALM, CUDDLY, AND READY TO WIGGLE MY WAY INTO YOUR HEART! 🐾

My Story

Hi, I’m Rufus, and if you’re looking for a calm, mellow gentleman with a soft heart and a serious appreciation for affection, I think we should meet! 🐾💙

My foster family describes me as calm, mellow, affectionate, cuddly, and friendly. I’m definitely more of a couch potato and lounger than an athlete. Give me a comfy place to relax, some gentle scratches, and people I love nearby, and I’m a happy guy.

I have very nice manners, too! I’m house-trained, walk very well on a leash, ride great in the car, and I’m respectful of fences. I know “sit” and seem to know “shake,” too. When we’re out walking, I’m a mellow gentleman and don’t get overly excited about the things going on around me. At home, I’m pretty quiet—my foster family says I’m not a barker. I also know how to use a doggy door!

I’m not especially food-motivated, although I’ll happily accept treats. I prefer treats placed on the ground rather than taking them from your hand. I’m also not very interested in toys, and I’m not a big chewer. Basically, I’m a pretty easygoing fellow.

When it comes to making friends, I appreciate people who are calm and respectful of my space. Once I’m comfortable with you, though, get those hands ready because I LOVE attention! In fact, my foster family says one of the cutest things about me is the little butt wiggle I do when I’m being scratched. I stomp my feet back and forth because it feels so good! And if you happen to stop petting me before I think you should, I may gently nudge your hand with my head as a little reminder. 😄

I’m ready to trade my foster home for the one thing I really want—a forever family of my very own. If your idea of the perfect companion is a sweet, quiet, cuddly guy who enjoys leisurely walks, car rides, lounging around the house, and plenty of affection, I just might be your Pyrfect match.

Love,
Rufus 🐾

My Story

Hi, I’m Lloyd! 🐾

If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate guy who loves life and loves his people even more, I might be the Pyr for you!

My foster family says I’m outgoing, friendly, goofy, silly, and affectionate—and I think that sums me up pretty well. I’m a total lovebug and never shy about showing it. If you sit down beside me, don’t be surprised if I decide your lap looks like the perfect place for a big Pyr like me! ❤️

I’m an active boy who absolutely LOVES being outside. Give me a fenced yard and some room to run, and you’ll get to see just how fast a Great Pyrenees can move! My foster says I may have a majestic spirit, but when I’m racing around the yard with my ears flopping from side to side, I’m also pretty entertaining.

I enjoy the company of other dogs and have done well with both large and small dogs, males and females. I just appreciate good doggie manners and will let another dog know if they’re getting a little too rowdy with me. I also walk very well on a leash, so I’d be happy to join you for walks and adventures.

When it’s time to relax, I’m happy settling down on a dog bed or even stretching out on the floor. I love attention, enjoy being brushed, handle being touched and fussed over very well, and I’m not much of a chewer. I even know how to use a doggy door! And yes, I’ll happily hop into the car with just a little encouragement when it’s time to go somewhere.

Most of all, I’m a joyful, loving boy who is ready to trade my foster home for the one thing I really want—a family of my very own.

Could that be you? 💙

Love,
Lloyd 🐾

My Story

Hi, I’m Piedmont! 🐾

I’m a sweet, gentle boy currently spending my days in boarding, but what I’d really love is a foster or forever home where I can settle in and be part of a family.

The wonderful people who take me out for walks have some pretty nice things to say about me. In fact, one of my walkers said it didn’t feel like she was walking me or that I was walking her—we were simply walking together. I stayed right beside her and matched whatever pace she chose. I’ve been told I’m an absolute dream on a leash! ❤️

And apparently I’m pretty good at ignoring distractions, too. We’ve encountered plenty of deer on our trail walks, and I didn’t react or even pay them much attention. I was perfectly content strolling alongside my person and enjoying our time together.

I’m also a fan of treats, have a beautiful curly tail, and, according to my walking friends, I’m one very sweet and handsome boy. 😊

There are a couple of things I need in my new home. I need another dog to share my life with and would do best with someone who is home more often than not. Having that companionship will help me feel comfortable and secure as I adjust to life outside of boarding.

I’m ready to trade my kennel for a home, my trail walks for walks with my very own person, and my boarding buddies for a family to love.

Could you be the one who gives me that chance?

Love,
Piedmont 🐾

My Story

Hi everyone, I’m Gus! 🐾

I’m a goofy, affectionate boy who may be a little cautious when we first meet, but give me a little time and you’ll discover just how much love I have to give. It doesn’t take me long to trust my people, and once I do, I’m loving, playful and eager to please.

I’m currently living in a foster home with a female Pyr, and having a canine sister has been pretty great! We share toys, play together and enjoy being buddies. In fact, I’m a pretty caring guy. One night my foster sister started whimpering in her sleep, and I hurried across the room to check on her. I sniffed her head and gave her ear a little lick just to make sure she was okay. What can I say? I look out for my girls. 🤍

I’m still a young guy with plenty of playful energy. I love walks, running, playing and a good game of chase or wrestling with my foster sister. Once we’re back inside, though, I know how to switch into couch-potato mode. When I’m feeling especially silly, I’ll stretch out as long as I possibly can, roll and twist around on my back, and paw at my people until they get the message: Gus needs attention!

I’m a smart boy, too! I know Sit, Down and Come, and I respond well to correction. I’m leash-trained, although I’m still working on my heeling because sometimes there are just so many interesting things to investigate! I’m especially curious about birds, squirrels, bugs and lizards. I’ve come a long way on my walks and have become much more comfortable and confident with the world around me.

I’m also house-trained and have learned how to tell my foster family when I need to go outside. I’ll whine a little, head toward the door and then paw or bark to make sure they get the message. I’m crate-trained, too, and sleep in my crate at night and stay there when my foster family leaves the house.

I’m not food or toy possessive, and I share toys nicely with my foster sister. I especially love bones, squeaky toys and peanut butter! Belly rubs and ear rubs are pretty high on my list, too.

I can be cautious around new people, but I warm up fairly quickly when given a chance to feel comfortable. Once I know you’re one of my people, you’ll see my affectionate, playful and protective side come out.

My ideal forever home would give this young guy some room to run and play and continue helping me learn and grow. I’d especially love having a playful female canine companion who enjoys chase, wrestling and having fun as much as I do.

More than anything, I’m looking for a family who will give me a little time to settle in and then enjoy everything that comes next — my goofy antics, my affection, my playful spirit and all the love I’ve been saving for my forever people.

I’m ready to find my family. Could it be yours? 🤍🐾
