My Story

Hello! My name is Winter and I’m looking for a new home. I love to play with my foster siblings, chew on my Rocky Raccoon toy and snuggle with my humans. Unfortunately, my former owner had my hair cut off, so I don’t currently have the lucious locks that Great Pyrenees usually have. But you better believe when my hair comes back, I’m going to be a stunner. Since I am new here, there isn’t too much information yet, so stay tuned for the rest of my story…coming soon!

Our main mission at GPRA is to find the right permanent home for Great Pyrenees in distress, whether they are strays or from an overpopulated kill or no-kill shelter. We don’t care how old they are or what their medical condition is because we will make sure they receive a comprehensive medical evaluation, spaying or neutering, and even behavioral training if necessary.

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 the boarding clinic while I wait for that special family to find me. 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

Hello, I’m Totoro. I’m a young, curious puppy that loves to be petted and to chew on my toys. I’m a little timid at first, but once I get to know you, I warm up and lean in for pets. I love a good snout and neck rub and close my eyes in joy when it’s just right. My foster says that I’m really smart and have learned “sit” and walking on a leash. I’m learning “down” and “lay down”. I’m very food motivated, so I listen more easily when there are treats involved. I’m also working on the house training. I haven’t learned to let my humans know I need to go out yet, so I need to go out every few hours. I’m scared of loud noises like big trucks, thunder and fireworks. I also don’t like riding in a car. My crate is a soothing place for me and I like to sleep there.

One funny thing that my foster has observed is that I’m fascinated with my own reflection. I guess it’s because I’m so handsome. If you’re looking to add an affectionate, intelligent member to your family, I might be that dapper floof! Apply to adopt me from GPRA!

My Story

Hello there! I’m Samson! I’m a big, lovable guy with an adorable underbite that gives me a unique charm—my tongue often sticks out! I’m also a cuddle buddy who loves to share affection!

I’m an easy walker on the leash, and I enjoy my strolls at a relaxed pace. While I love to run around in a secure yard, I’m content to chill at home too. I’m fully house-trained and can sleep peacefully in any room.

I’m great with kids and anyone I meet.

I know some commands like “sit,” “come,” and “down,” and I’m eager to learn more.

I’m friendly with most dogs, but I need a home without small dogs.

If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing companion who enjoys car rides and cozy cuddles, I’m your guy!

My Story

Hello! My name is Bella, and I’m a gentle soul looking for a loving home. After spending my life outdoors, I’m learning the joys of indoor life, and all I really want is to be surrounded by love and kindness. ❤️

I’m a total cuddler and absolutely adore attention! I’ve even started giving my paw—how cute is that? While I’m still adjusting, I’m eating great with a mix of wet food and tasty additions like ground beef and turkey. Treats? Yes, please!

I’m a mellow girl who enjoys slow walks, although I have a little arthritis, so no hiking or jogging for me. I’m great on the leash, and I love hanging out on the porch with my human friends and their dogs. I’m friendly with other pets and do well with new people, especially when introduced slowly.

I’m fully house-trained and will let you know when it’s time to go outside by standing by the door. I love to be brushed and pampered, and I’m pretty easygoing when it comes to baths and grooming.

One of my favorite things is drinking from the birdbath—who knew it could be so refreshing? I promise I’m a low-barker, only chiming in to let you know when someone’s at the door.

I would thrive in a calm home without small children, where I can soak up all the love and attention. If you’re looking for a sweet companion to share quiet moments and gentle adventures, I just might be the perfect match!

My Story

Hi everyone, my name is Stetson. I am a young dog who is curious and friendly with most humans. Unfortunately, anxiety causes me to misbehave in a chaotic environment. I would thrive in a quiet place with a yard and no small children. I can be left alone, but I don’t like it much. Since I am still quite young, I enjoy chewing toys and bones. However, I do not like to share with other dogs. It would be fantastic if I could run with someone while on a leash. Riding in a car is super fun and I will happily jump in the vehicle and travel with you. I love my humans and cuddle whenever possible. I am described as the most loving snuggle bug trying to work through anxiety. If you are someone who wants a loyal companion and has a tranquil environment, please apply to adopt me. I promise to love and protect you.

My Story

Hello, Pyr Friends! Meet me, Fred! My GPRA family says my nickname could be Fabulous Fred because I’ve frankly mastered a lot of skills. I’m already housetrained which is fantastic, and I give you friendly bark or whine to let you know, “I need to go out, please!” Riding in the car is also something I’m very facile at doing. Because I enjoy hanging out with other dogs outside the home, we can totally hop in the car and head to the dog park! Or, we can go for a coffee run and grab a Frappuccino. When we walk in the neighborhood, I’ll be known as Famous Fred because of how friendly I am to everyone I meet, including the kiddos. While I love seeing my fellow canines and children on leash, I prefer to be the only dog in the house, and I do best in a quiet, adult only home. My GPRA friends will tell you that people are my favorite. Once you take me home, you’ll see what a sweet, cuddly, and happy boy I am! As a young pyr, I’m still full of that fresh pyr energy, and I’d enjoy a place to get out my zoomies. Also, because I’m a youthful male pyr, I’m still learning my leash manners although everyone says I’m pretty good on the leash. One of my most famed qualities is my keen intelligence! I know all the fundamental commands: sit, paw, down, and stay. I’ve even heard some people call me Fair Fred because of how beautiful I am, but all I really want is to be your Faithful Fred companion who will love you forever!

Our Story

We’re Elsa and Perrin, and we’re a bonded pair which means we’re best buds for life! Hi, I’m Elsa. I’ve heard that Elsa is the name of the elder sister in that famous Disney movie, and I’m an older sister too. Us big sisters like to be the boss, so no cats or small dogs, please. We really like to be the only two animals. Perrin is my rock, and he’s all I need. As the older sister, I also have to set a good example. One way I am a great role model is how calm and well-behaved I am in the home. I’m housetrained, of course, and I can be left home alone without any issues. Hello, I’m Perrin! My sister will tell you that I have enough energy for the two of us. My GPRA friends say I’m bouncy and love to play, so a yard to get out my zoomies would be wonderful! I do need a six-foot fence, though, because I could jump a shorter one. I’m a young pyr boy who is always up for an adventure, so make sure to keep me on leash before you open the front door because I might try to slip by you! Like my big sis says, I’m rock solid in all the ways that matter. As long as I have Elsa, I’m a good boy when you leave the home, and I’m housetrained too. We’re also rock steady when it comes to commands. Elsa and I know “sit” and “down” really well. Elsa, here, chiming in! Probably the best quality we share is how much we love our humans, including those little humans called children. We’re a friendly pair of pyrs to everyone we meet. Just look at how much we smile in all our pictures! If you’re hoping to brighten your day with two pyrs who will give you all the love you could ever want, think about adopting us today!

My Story

Hi, Everyone! I’m Salem, and my name can means “perfect.” I bet I’ll be the perfect addition to your home because I’m so loving and affectionate! Humans are my favorite, and I love getting pets from them. Sometimes, I even jump up a little out of excitement when I see people, but I’m easily redirected. Another dog to romp around with in a yard could be perfect too because I do seem really interested in playing with other dogs. But, I’m equally happy to play with toys, so being an only dog could also be perfect. Either way, as a young pyr boy with the energy to match, my perfect home would have a yard to get out all my zoomies! My name also means “complete,” and I feel most complete when I’m the center of attention! My GPRA friends noticed that I’ve already learned “up,” and you can see how in the second picture, I’m standing up like a seal. It’s my way of saying, “Look at me!” With my bouncing energy and affectionate nature, I’m the complete package. I’m even good in the car and good on the leash! Since I love my humans more than anything, I am great at listening to them. The only thing that could complete my happiness would be going home with you!

Our Story

Hi, Everyone! We’re Aria and Elda, and we’re a bonded pair which means we can’t live without each other. When we play in the yard together, you’ll see that we are best friends for life. Aria, here! My name means “lioness,” and that name makes sense because I’m the fluffy one. Elda, here! My name means wise, and I’ve got those old soul eyes to match my name. The good news is us two pyr girlies are very sweet and loving. We love to get pets from our beloved humans! Foster Mama says that we’re also good listeners; we’re currently learning “sit.” One of our best qualities, however, is that we come when called. Also, Foster Mom tells us we’re well-mannered because we don’t have any potty accidents. Another way we’re very polite is that we are well-behaved when left home alone. Us pyr ladies are always happy to be with our humans, though, so we like to be wherever you are. Our foster family says we’re super affectionate, and Elda will even give you a kiss to prove it! We’ll go with you to get some coffee too because we ride well in the car. Or, we can just take a stroll in the neighborhood since we’re so good on the leash as well. Everyone knows the only thing better than one pyr to snuggle is two, and we can’t wait to come home with you today!
