My Story

Hi, I’m Murray! I’m getting ready to go to a foster home soon, and I’ve been doing pretty well in boarding at the vet clinic. When I’m walking by other dogs in the kennel, I’m more focused on getting outside, though I might stop and sniff if the moment calls for it. I’m a bit shy at first with new people, but once I get to know them, I’m gentle and sweet.

I walk really well on a leash, and I enjoy going for rides in the car—nice and calm. I’m very laid back overall, and you won’t hear much from me—I’ve been pretty quiet since I’ve been here. I do graze when it comes to eating and haven’t shown any signs of food aggression. I’m also housebroken, which means I don’t make a mess in my kennel.

If you need to give me meds, I’m good about ear meds, but I’ll need to be pilled for oral meds. I’m also fine with being touched, whether it’s on my head or body—no issues there. I’m not too worried about loud noises, but I do need to be watched closely because I can escape a fence if given the chance, so I need to be safely contained.

Overall, I’m a sweet, laid-back guy looking forward to finding my perfect spot in a forever home where I can continue to relax and enjoy life.

My Story

Hi, I’m Apollo! I’m a sweet and loving pup who’s been through a lot, but I’m feeling better every day. I was hurt by something scary, but I’m healing up nicely and ready for my next adventure. I love to play like any typical puppy and I’m already housetrained, so no worries there! I could use a little help gaining some weight, so I’d appreciate some extra groceries to get me back to my healthy, happy self. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart, I’m your guy. I’m just waiting for someone special to give me a forever home where I can show how much love I have to give!

My Story

Hi there, I’m Stanley! I’m a sweet and gentle guy who’s still warming up to the world around me. When I first arrived at GPRA, I was a bit shy and unsure, but once I trust you, I’ll show you just how loving I can be – I’ll give you lots of sweet kisses!

I’m a little nervous in new situations, especially around cars and loud noises, but I’m learning and improving every day. The volunteers say I walk nicely on a harness and am growing more confident with it each day. I really enjoy when they take me on peaceful strolls.

Once I know you, I’m very easy-going when it comes to getting attention. I like being petted and a gentle scratch under my chin is one of my favorites!

I’m looking for a family who will be patient and kind while I adjust and become more self-assured. If you’re looking for a quiet, sweet, and loving dog, I think we could be a perfect match! Apply to adopt me! I’d love to be your loyal companion!

My Story

Hi there! My name is Panda, and I’m a calm, devoted dog with a heart full of potential. I may be a little slow to trust, but once I do, I’m as loyal as they come. I may not have had the easiest start in life, but I’m doing my best to find my place in this world—and I’ve come so far already!

I’m the type of dog who loves a quiet, peaceful life. Inside the house, I’m content just lying quietly by my foster mom’s side, soaking up the calm vibes. I’m very protective, especially when it comes to my family. If I see someone walking down the street, I’ll make sure to alert everyone with a good bark! But when I’m with my foster mom, I’m always by her side, following her around like a shadow. I really love being close to her.

I’m a big fan of food! I enjoy my meals and treats—dog biscuits are my favorite. I’m not a picky eater, and I happily chow down on whatever is offered. When I need to go outside for a potty break, I know exactly how to communicate it. I just stand by the back door, and my foster mom lets me out like clockwork.

Though I can be a bit shy at first with new people, I’m a quick learner. I didn’t know many commands when I first arrived, but with just a little patience and care from my foster mom, I quickly learned to sit and lie down. I may have had a few moments of nervousness, especially when I thought hands were being raised to hurt me, but I’m learning to trust more every day. I’m even working on learning “come!” My foster mom says I’m very smart—though I’m still a little cautious about sudden movements and loud noises. Sometimes I bark when new people visit, but once I feel safe, I calm down.

I’m also doing well with house rules. I don’t chew on anything I shouldn’t, and I don’t jump on the furniture (though I do love lying on the floor next to my foster mom’s bed). I’m a great companion when it comes to keeping things calm and orderly. When I’m left alone for a while, I’m well-behaved and don’t make a mess. I also don’t drool—though I do get a bit excited when it’s time to ride in the car. I can’t jump in on my own yet, but I’m happy to get some help from my foster mom.

My foster mom is helping me work through my fears, and I know deep down I have a lot of love to give. I want to trust people, and I’m willing to learn to overcome my fears. In my own time, I hope to be more confident, and I’d love a family who understands and can help me grow in that way.

I’ve already made such great progress. I love the yard, and nothing makes me happier than running around, kicking up my legs as I play! My foster mom says I’m a true Pyr in that way, and she loves having me around to guard her garden. At the end of the day, there’s nothing more comforting than curling up on the floor next to her as we both settle in for the night. She says my gentle snores & snoots comfort her.

Thank you for letting me share my story. I hope one day I’ll find my forever family who understands me, just as my foster mom does. ❤️

My Story

Hi there! I’m George Michael, and I’m currently in a wonderful foster home where I’ve made so much progress. I’ve come a long way since I first arrived, and now I’m ready to find my forever family to continue this journey with me.

I’m a sweet, shy guy—nothing too flashy, but I’ve got a heart full of love once I get comfortable. I’m a calm companion who loves snuggling up in bed with my foster parents. There’s nothing better than a cozy spot next to my humans for a good nap.

I get along great with other dogs and cats. In fact, I’d really thrive with a dog sibling to help build my confidence and provide the support I need. Having a companion makes me feel more secure and helps me come out of my shell. Plus, I love running around and playing tag with my canine pals!

I can be a little shy around strangers at first but I warm up quickly and become very affectionate.

I’m not much of a barker; in fact, I’m pretty quiet. Big noises and busy streets still make me nervous, so I prefer a peaceful, calm environment. I walk well on a leash and might need a little time to feel completely at ease, but once I do, I’m good.

I eat well, grazing a little throughout the day and then happily enjoying my dinner at night. When it comes to treats or food, I’m not possessive—no worries there!

I’m easy to touch and very relaxed about being petted. Whether it’s on my head or body, I’m all for it.

In short, I’m a laid-back, quiet dog who loves a good snuggle. I’d do best with a gentle, understanding family who can help me feel secure, especially with a dog sibling to keep me company. If you’re looking for a calm companion to curl up with and help me continue to thrive, I just might be the one for you!
