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 “an absolute pleasure.” (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 there! I’m Kida — a friendly, playful girl with a big heart and even bigger love for life. I’m currently in boarding and looking for a foster or forever home where I can stretch my legs, share my affection, and finally belong again.

I’m an active, family-oriented dog who loves to run, play, and explore. I’ve got a high energy level, so I’d be happiest with someone who enjoys walks, yard time, or adventures outdoors. I know “sit,” and I’m a quick learner — I’d love to keep working on my leash manners and maybe learn some new tricks!

Once I’ve had my fun, I’m also a sweet cuddler who loves downtime with my people. I do great with children and warm up quickly to new faces. I might bark a little when meeting new dogs, but once we’re acquainted, I’m all about playtime! Cats, though… I’d rather not share my space with them.

I’m not a fan of loud noises or things like vacuums or water hoses (they’re suspicious, okay?), but with a little reassurance, I bounce right back. I’m a happy, affectionate dog who just wants a person or family to call my own again.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and energetic companion who will make you laugh and keep you moving, I’d love to meet you!

Come foster or adopt me, Kida — and let’s start our next chapter together! ❤️

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 “good boy” 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, “Hey, I’m here! Let’s hang out!” 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 “finder’s keepers” 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, I’m Sasha! 🐾
And yes, I am as fluffy and fabulous as I look.

I’m currently living it up in a foster home (my foster dad says I’m a total sweetheart), but I’m really dreaming about something special — my forever home. You know, the kind where I can snuggle on the couch, patrol the backyard for squirrels, and follow my human around like the loyal shadow I am.

A little about me: I’m a gorgeous Pyrenees mix with a soft heart, a silly side, and some seriously swoon-worthy cuddle skills. I’m affectionate, loyal, and I’ve got just enough sass to keep things interesting (especially when chipmunks dare cross my path). I get along great with other big dogs — like my foster brother Walton — as long as everyone remembers who’s in charge (hint: it’s me).

I’ve got good manners, too! I know how to heel, ride like a pro in the car, and even tolerate brushing like the elegant lady I am. I walk nicely on a leash (after I get my excitement wiggles out), and yes — I’ll keep an eye on the yard to make sure no sneaky squirrels get past me. I’m basically a living, breathing, tail-wagging security system with extra floof.

I’m looking for a home with someone who understands guardian breeds and appreciates a dog with a big personality and even bigger heart. No cats or tiny critters, please — they’re way too fun to chase. But if you’re looking for a loyal companion, a snuggle bug, and a fluffy best friend who’s been through some storms and still shines bright… I’m your girl.

Come meet me — I’m waiting, patiently, with love in my eyes and probably a squirrel to stare at.

Love,
Sasha 🐾
Your soon-to-be shadow, security detail, and snuggle buddy for life. 🩷

General Information:


My Story

Hi there! I’m Oberon, but my friends call me Obie. I’m a charming and playful pup on the lookout for my forever family, and I’d love to share a bit about myself from my perspective!

I’m a confident, outgoing boy with a heart full of love and a playful spirit. Whether I’m playing fetch in the backyard, engaging in silly antics, or curling up beside you for a nap, I’m all about fun and companionship. My foster family says I’m incredibly smart—I learn new commands quickly and love to show off my skills. I know how to sit, stay, give kisses, and even touch my nose to your hand. Training is one of my favorite activities!

When it comes to food, I’m a true foodie! I’m motivated by treats of all kinds, from cheese and chicken to blueberries and carrots. Mealtime is an event, and I enjoy a little routine before diving into my bowl. Don’t worry, I’m not protective of my food; I happily share the space with my foster siblings during mealtime.

I love playing with toys, especially squeaky ones, and I have a knack for fetch! I’ll bring the ball back and drop it at your feet, ready for another round. My energy level is quite high, but I also know how to relax and enjoy some downtime, whether it’s lounging on my favorite dog bed or napping in front of a fan.

When I’m out and about, I’m curious about the world around me. My reaction to other dogs varies; sometimes I bark, but I’m learning that’s not always the best response. I’ve gotten better at just sitting quietly or looking at my humans for guidance when I see another dog. If I glance at them, my foster family encourages me with treats, and we’ve been working on staying calm during our walks. The more we practice, the better I get! At adoption events, I’ve even learned to ignore some dogs as we pass by, which makes me feel really proud.

At home, I’m very social and love being around my humans and furry siblings. I’m house-trained and communicate when I need to go outside, often sitting by the door. I also enjoy being brushed and love the attention from my humans. I follow my foster family around the house like a little shadow, sitting at their feet while they cook or do laundry. I just love being near them!

One of my cutest quirks? I absolutely adore water! Whether it’s chasing the hose in the yard or enjoying a bath, I can’t get enough of it. And the towel-down after a shower? Pure bliss!

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and a playful spirit, I’d be thrilled to meet you! Together, we can create wonderful memories.

Can’t wait to meet you!
Love,
Obie 💙

My Story

Hi there, I’m Atlas! 🐾
I’m a laid-back, sweet-natured pup currently staying in boarding, but I’m hoping to find a quiet foster or forever home where I can truly shine.

I’m a pro at housetraining (I even ring a bell when I need to go out — pretty clever, huh?), and I’m a total gentleman in the house. I spend most of my day lounging on the couch or relaxing on the floor, and I’ve got the “easygoing roommate” thing down to a science.

I’m looking for a peaceful home in a quiet neighborhood — no city life for me, please! Loud noises, crowded sidewalks, and busy streets just aren’t my style. What I’d really love is a big fenced-in yard where I can safely stretch my legs and enjoy the fresh air without too much outside hustle and bustle. A quiet setting with some space between neighbors would be perfect.

I do very well with grooming (pampered pup, reporting for duty!), and I also love car rides and am fine being home alone for a while. I know my basic commands like sit, down, and come, and I’m always happy to come inside when you offer me a carrot. (They’re my favorite!)

If you’ve got a peaceful home, a little extra patience, and a quiet yard with room to breathe, I’d love to be part of your life. I’m ready to be someone’s loyal companion. Could that be you?

With love,
Atlas

My Story

Hi, I’m Hank!

I’m currently in boarding and doing my best, but what I really want is a home where I can feel safe, loved, and part of the family.

I’m a friendly, affectionate guy—just ask the volunteers and clinic staff who care for me every day. I love attention, lean in for pets, and enjoy being close to my people. I walk great on a leash, stay right by your side, and I already know “sit,” “stay,” and “down.” I’m also housebroken, which I’ve been told is a big plus!

I’m easygoing when it comes to cars, traffic, and loud noises, and I handle other dogs well when passing them on walks or in boarding. I may grumble at bouncy puppies or dogs who don’t respect my space, but who wouldn’t? I’m also good with kids I meet out and about.

I’ll be honest about one thing—I tend to bond deeply with one person, which means it’s important that everyone in the home spends equal time with me so I learn to trust and feel safe with the whole family. I did show some food-protective behavior with one person in my previous home, but not with other. Though with patience and consistency, I can learn to bond with anyone. I just need a family willing to work with me and help me feel secure.

A couple more things you should know: I don’t like having my feet touched, and boarding is really stressful for me. I thrive when people are home often and I’m not left alone for long periods. I just want to be part of the group and know that my people are close by.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, I might be your perfect match. I’m ready to find a steady, patient home that will give me the chance to shine.

– Hank 🐶💛

My Story

Hi there, I’m Perrin!

I may be a big guy, but I’m really just a gentle soul who wants a calm home, a comfy place to lay my head, and a playful female dog to hang out with. I’m living in a great foster home right now, but what I really want is a forever family that understands me — and a chill canine lady I can bond with. If your sweet doggy girl is looking for a funny, loyal friend, I might be her pyrfect match.

Let’s get one thing straight: I love the outdoors. My happy place is the backyard where I can patrol and just enjoy the breeze. But I’m also great indoors and happy to nap on the floor, in a chair, or wherever the softest spot is.

I’m pretty easygoing — I don’t chew on things, I don’t drool, and I’m house-trained with a good routine. I know all my basic commands (sit, stay, come, leave it, down) and I’m great on a leash. I’ll even tell you when I need to go out with a polite bark. I’m calm in the car too — not my favorite thing, but I’ll settle in and nap like a pro.

Treats? Oh man, give me a treat and I’ll zoomie with joy. I might even shake my head and spin in circles from pure excitement. It’s not even just the treat — it’s the thrill of the whole experience. My favorite? Stella & Chewy’s fish jerky, but honestly, I’m just thrilled you’re offering me something special.

I’m not really into toys — I prefer nature, naps, and neck scritches. I do bark a little at strange noises or visitors, but once I know you’re a friend, I’m all about the love. I adore people, both men and women, and love being petted all over. I’m super easy when it comes to taking pills or getting brushed.

If you’re looking for a loyal dog who loves the outdoors, enjoys snuggles, and will make you laugh every single day, I think we’d be great together.

Let’s meet soon — and don’t forget the treats. 😉
– Love, Perrin

My Story

Hi, I’m Elsa — your soon-to-be favorite walking buddy and full-time sweetheart.

Let me tell you a little about myself! I’m a smart, cuddly, and playful girl who’s currently living in a foster home, patiently waiting for my forever family. If you’re someone who loves going on daily walks (1-2 miles twice a day is just right for me!) and then snuggling up on the couch afterwards — we might just be meant for each other.

I love people. Seriously. I’ll melt into your lap if you let me. I’m especially fond of belly rubs, ear scratches, and pretty much any kind of affection. I’m also a big fan of treats — especially those Stella & Chewy Chicken Weenies (yum!).

While I tolerate my younger, high-energy foster brother, I’d really prefer a more submissive male companion closer to my age. I also like my food bowl all to myself, so a peaceful, solo mealtime is best.

I know all my basic commands like sit, stay, come, down, and leave it. I walk nicely on a leash, and while I’m not wild about storms or fireworks (I might bark or howl a bit), I’m generally a pretty quiet girl. I’m house-trained, don’t chew things up, and I’m happy hanging out inside while you’re out running errands. I don’t mind car rides, and I can get in all by myself — unless we’re talking about a monster truck, of course.

Grooming isn’t my favorite, but I’ll tolerate it if you hold my collar and talk nicely to me (bonus points for post-brush snuggles). I’m respectful of fences, not a digger or jumper, and I don’t counter surf — though I am a bit of a messy water drinker, just keeping it real.

I really shine in a calm, loving home where I can relax, be adored, and go on regular adventures with my human. If you’re home a lot and looking for a loyal, affectionate, goofy companion, I just might be the pyrfect match for you.

Let’s meet soon. I’ve got a warm heart and a soft spot on the couch just waiting for you. 💛
– Love, Elsa
