My Story

Hi there! My name’s Luigi, and I’m a sweet and curious pup who’s looking for my forever home! I’m currently living in a foster home with two awesome foster doggy siblings, and while I’m still a little shy when meeting new people and dogs, I’m warming up every day. It’s been so exciting to learn new things and have lots of fun!

I’m a pretty playful guy, and I love treats! I can get really excited when I see one coming my way. My foster mom gave me a slow feeder bowl because I tend to eat fast, but I’m still learning to be a little more patient at mealtime. Don’t worry, I don’t protect my food or toys – I’m easy-going when it comes to sharing, whether it’s my bowl or my favorite squeaky toy.

Even though I’m a good walker, I also enjoy cuddling up on the couch and getting some quality belly rubs. I’ve even learned to sit, lay down, and come when asked (though I still need a little encouragement to do it quickly). I get a little shy when called, but I’m working on it!

I’ve also been learning how to communicate that I need to go outside for potty time. Right now, I’m watching my foster dog siblings use a training bell by the door, and I’m trying to figure it out too. Sometimes, I just give my foster mom a little nudge to let her know it’s time for a bathroom break.

I’m not a big fan of loud noises like fireworks or sirens, but I’m getting braver with every passing day. And when it comes to car rides, I’m a little hesitant at first, but once I’m inside, I’m all good! I’m also not a huge barker, just a normal, average amount of barking for me, mostly when I want to say hello.

One thing that always makes my foster mom smile is the little grunting sounds I make when I stretch or when I’m greeting them. Oh, and I have this funny habit: before I settle down for belly rubs, I’ll turn around and show my tush first. It’s my way of saying, “I’m ready for some love!”

I may be a little shy at first, but I’m growing braver every day, and I promise that I’ll be your best friend if you give me a chance. I’m just a calm, sweet, goofy puppy, and I can’t wait to find my forever home where I can be loved and share my quirky personality with you.

My Story

Hi! I’m Layla, a sweet and playful gal, and I’m looking for my forever home. Let me tell you a little about myself:

I came from an animal shelter and now I’m with a wonderful foster family who is helping me find my perfect family.

I love all the food—I’m not picky at all. Dry food, wet food, treats, bones… if it’s edible, I’m interested! I’ll never turn down a snack, and I don’t mind sharing my food bowl with humans, although I haven’t been around other dogs yet to know how I feel about sharing with them. But don’t worry, I’m not the possessive type—I’m totally cool with having my toys or treats taken away with no fuss.

I’m a bit of a mix when it comes to activity. Sometimes I’m a total couch potato and just want to curl up with you for some snuggles and pets (which, by the way, I love). Other times, I’m a little ball of energy who would happily chase after a ball and run around the yard for hours. I’m a pretty well-rounded girl—fun and active when it’s time to play, but also super chill when you just want to relax together.

I know how to sit, and I’m pretty well-behaved on a leash, so you won’t have trouble walking me around the neighborhood. I’m friendly with people, adults and kids alike, and I’ve been a good girl meeting new people in the house.

Oh, and I love being brushed! I’m a big fan of pets and belly rubs too (who isn’t?). You can touch my ears, paws, and pretty much anywhere without me getting upset. I’m super tolerant when it comes to handling, so you won’t have to worry about that.

I don’t mind being left alone when you go out, and I won’t bark or whine for long—just a little cry when you leave, but it stops after about 10 minutes.

If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing companion who can be both a playful pup and a relaxed couch buddy, I’m your girl! I’m a little bit smaller than most Pyrenees, so I’m just the right size for cuddling, and I don’t drool or bark excessively—bonus! I promise I’ll make you smile every day with my goofy, loving personality. 💖

My Story

Hello, my name is Apollo, and I’m a Great Pyrenees in search of a forever family who will love me for who I am. I’m a big, fluffy boy, and I’m still figuring out what the world has in store for me—especially since I came into rescue from an animal shelter. Life has been a little confusing at times, but I’m starting to feel more at home with each passing day.

Right now, I’m staying at a vet’s clinic where they’re taking care of me while I wait for that special family to find me. They’ve been kind and patient, and I can tell they really want me to be healthy and happy. I’m a bit underweight at the moment (those shelter meals weren’t the best), so I’m working on gaining some pounds to get back to my full strength. Don’t worry—I’m eating well and getting the nutrition I need!

When it comes to other dogs, I’m pretty curious but not overly interested. I’ve walked by some of my fellow canines at the kennel and I’m always intrigued, though I’m not in a rush to make new friends just yet. I’m more focused on figuring out my own place in the world, but I’m friendly enough and open to getting to know others. I haven’t had any issues with loud noises or traffic, which is a relief. It seems like I’m adjusting well to life outside of the shelter.

I’m a little shy when I first meet new people, but don’t let that fool you! Once I warm up, I’m all about affection. The clinic staff has been so sweet to me, and after my intake exam (which was a bit scary for me), I just wanted to be loved on by everyone. I’m learning that not all humans are scary, and I’m starting to trust again.

I’m also learning some important stuff like my name and the “sit” command! I’m a good listener, and I’m eager to please, so with a little guidance, I’ll be an obedient boy in no time. I do have some leash manners to work on—I can be a bit strong and pull when I’m walking, but we’re practicing, and I’m getting better at it.

When it comes to my living situation, I’ve been a good boy in my kennel—I haven’t had any accidents, and I’m always waiting patiently for my meals. I’m not food aggressive, so you don’t have to worry about me being protective over my food. I’m just happy to have a meal and some love. And when it comes to being touched, I’m a big fan of pets and cuddles! I’m not shy about getting some affection, though I’ll need a little time to adjust to new situations and new people.

Oh, and I do have a bit to say sometimes! I’m not much of a barker, but I definitely talk when I see my humans leaving or coming back from the kennel. I just want to make sure you know I’m here and ready for attention. I’m a sweet boy at heart, and I just want to be part of a family who’ll take care of me and love me for the big, goofy, affectionate boy that I am.

I know it might take some time to find my perfect home, but I promise I’ll be worth the wait. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who just needs a little patience and a lot of TLC, I might be the one for you.

So, if you think I might be a good fit for your family, please come meet me! I can’t wait to start the next chapter of my life with you. 💙

My Story

Hi there! I’m Milo, a playful Great Pyrenees boy on a mission to find my forever home and I’m ready to share my big heart with someone special. I came to this rescue from an animal shelter, and right now, I’m hanging out at a vet clinic while I wait for you!

I’ve got a curious spirit that makes every day an adventure. When I see other dogs while walking by my kennel, I can’t help but perk up and take a good look. The same goes for the parking lot—my tail wags with excitement as I check out my furry neighbors. Strangers? Oh, I adore them! I’m always eager for a little attention and some pats.

I am a bit underweight, so I’m on a mission to fill out with tasty food. Eating is one of my favorite things, and I’m not aggressive about it—I just appreciate a good meal and some extra snacks when I can!

When it comes to leash walking, I’d say I’m pretty well-behaved. I enjoy my strolls and take in all the sights, though I’ll admit I do love a good cuddle session, too. I might bark a little when you leave my sight—just a friendly reminder that I’d love to be with you!

I’ve been a good boy about keeping my kennel clean, which means I’m housebroken. I absolutely love being social and friendly; I won’t shy away from being touched. I’m even good with my ears being handled by the vet techs, and I’m learning my name and I already know the “sit” command!

Sometimes, when I’m feeling a bit neglected, I might press my nose against the glass of my kennel to let you know I’m here and ready for some love. I promise, I’m a sweet companion who craves attention and affection.

So, if you’re looking for a loyal friend who will fill your life with joy and cuddles, I’m your guy! Let’s make some wonderful memories together!

My Story

Hello there! My name is Marge, and I’m a spirited Great Pyrenees girl on a quest for my forever home. I’m currently living at a vet clinic while I wait for my special someone to come and take me home to foster or adopt.

I arrived here from an animal shelter, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the adventure! My days are filled with curious sights and sounds. When I see other dogs through the kennel, my tail wags with excitement, and I might bark a little—just trying to say hello! In the parking lot, I do the same. I’m a bit shy when I first meet new people, but once I warm up, I absolutely love getting attention. I’m like a fluffy cloud of happiness once I feel comfortable!

Right now, I’m a little underweight and could use some extra love (and treats!) to help me fill out. Eating is one of my favorite activities, and I’m not aggressive about food at all—just a gentle girl who appreciates a good meal.

I’m still learning some things, like how to walk nicely on a leash. I tend to pull and get distracted easily, but I promise I’m working on it! I think with a little patience, I’ll become a pro at leash manners. While I’m not sure how I feel about cats yet, I’m open to new friendships!

I might not bark often, but when I do, it’s just me expressing my curiosity about the world around me. I’m housebroken, which means I’ve been good about keeping my space clean. I love getting petted, and there’s no negative reaction to touch; in fact, I relish it!

The vet techs say I’m very friendly and have been good about letting them near my eyes and ears. I’m learning my name and the sit command, which is super exciting! I might be a bit pocket-sized for a Pyrenees, but I’ve got a strong spirit and plenty of energy to share.

So, if you’re looking for a loving companion who’s ready to embark on new adventures with you, I’d love to meet you. Together, we can create a home filled with love, fun, and plenty of belly rubs!

Our Story

Hey there! We are the Augusta litter because we traveled all the way from Augusta, GA to GPRA. Now that we are in foster homes, we’re on the lookout for our FURever homes.

Our foster PYR’ents say we couldn’t be sweeter or cuddlier—just look at our adorable faces! Whether we’re snuggling up together or basking in the warmth of your lap, we love being close to our humans. We’ve got plenty of love to give, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

We get along great with other dogs, so if you have furry friends already, we’ll fit right in. We’re still learning to walk on the leash, but we promise we’re trying our best! Every little outing is an adventure, and we’re excited to explore the world with you. Plus, we’re getting the hang of potty training and are proud to say we’re learning to do our business outside!

As Great Pyrenees, we’ll grow up to be big, fluffy companions who will need plenty of space to roam and play. It’s important to do your research on our breed to understand our needs and characteristics. We’re known for being gentle giants, and we’re eager to protect and love our families.

If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly addition to your home who will grow into a loyal and loving companion, we might just be the pups for you!

My Story

Hello! My name is Beau, and I’m a sweet, cuddly boy looking for a quiet forever home. I thrive on human companionship and love to snuggle—there’s nothing quite like a cozy cuddle session! ❤️

I’ve been through boot camp training, so I know my commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “down.” I’m a quick learner and always eager to please my human. I’m a low-energy dog who enjoys leisurely walks, and I promise I’ll be an easy-going buddy on the leash!

While I can be a little territorial—especially around my favorite people and our home—I truly have a big heart. I love kids, but due to some recent changes in my environment, I’d do best in a home without young children. I can also be protective over my food, so I’ll need a patient family that can help me learn to feel secure and relaxed during mealtime.

I’m fully house-trained and will let you know when it’s time to go outside with a gentle nudge of my nose. At night, I sleep soundly on the floor in the bedroom, ready to protect my humans while dreaming of adventures.

I’m a playful pup at heart who enjoys fetching balls and getting plenty of belly rubs. I’m all about the “Pyr lean”—it’s my way of showing love! I’m looking for a family that can give me the attention and understanding I need to flourish. I promise to bring joy and loyalty to your life.
