My Story

Hello there! My name is Jasper, and I’m a gentle giant looking for my forever home. I’m a 4-year-old Great Pyrenees mix, weighing in at a hefty 124 pounds. With my fluffy white coat and soulful eyes, I might look like a big cloud of love, but there’s a bit more to my story.

I’ve had my fair share of challenges, including Addison disease, which means I need a daily dose of medication to help me feel my best. Sometimes, my hormones can get a bit wacky, causing me to react strongly to sudden changes in my environment. I’m a sensitive soul, and I appreciate a calm atmosphere where I can thrive.

I love to spend my days lounging in the living room, and I’m always house-trained. When I need to go outside, I’ll let you know! I’m not the biggest fan of being approached while I’m eating, so it’s best to give me some space during mealtime. I also tend to be a little possessive over my food and toys, so it’s important for my new family to understand my boundaries.

Despite my size, I have a medium activity level. I enjoy leisurely walks, but I can be a bit of a challenge on the leash, so patience is key. I’m great at socializing in public spaces, but I can be a little protective of my home and family, especially when meeting new people. It might take me some time to warm up, but once I do, I’m just a big softy at heart.

I get along well with other dogs when we’re out and about, but I prefer to keep my distance in my home territory. As for cats, well, I’m not really sure how I’d react—I’ve never met one! I’m a bit cautious around young children and would prefer a home where they understand that I need my space.

I love car rides and splashing around in water, which is always a fun way to bond! I might be a bit noisy at times, but I’m just letting you know I’m here. And if you give me a little time to adjust, I promise you’ll see my true colors: a loyal companion who just wants to be loved.

If you think you can offer me the calm, understanding, and loving home I need, I’d love to meet you. Together, we can create a beautiful life filled with adventures and cuddles. Will you be the one to take me home?

Our Story

Hi! We are Luigi and Mario and we have quite the story to tell.

On the morning of September 29th, everything changed. The air was thick with worry as news spread about a terrible fire at the Bio Lab. We had no idea what was happening outside our little world in the shelter. But soon, we learned we would have to leave in a hurry. The humans were evacuating us due to some scary fumes in the air. It was dark outside as we were loaded into crates. We were scared and confused as the sounds of chaos filled the air. Just when we thought things couldn’t get any stranger, a kind lady from GPRA arrived. She seemed determined to help, and before long, we were in her van and on our way to a new place.

As we drove away from the chaos, we snuggled against one another. The lady had a warm smile and gentle hands. She took us for a little walk when we arrived at her home. We could feel the tension melting away as we rolled in the grass, inviting belly rubs. It was the first time we felt safe in what felt like forever.

The next morning, we were met with another surprise: a bath! We were a bit unsure at first, especially since we were both so itchy and flea-infested, but once we were was all cleaned up, we both felt like new dogs. After our bath, we met another kind lady from GPRA, who whisked us off to the vet for our intake appointment.

The vet was friendly and we could feel the love from everyone around us. It was hard to believe that just the day before, we were in such a scary situation. Now, we were on our way to a new life.

We’re excited to find our forever homes! It would be best for us to be adopted separately, so we can each get all the love and attention we deserve!

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 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! It also makes me a drooler, but I’ll look stylish in all the bandanas to catch those drool moments!! 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 or medium sized dogs.

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

My Story

Hi there, my name is Rudy. I’m a sweet and gentle boy who’s looking for a loving family. I know I might seem a little shy at first, but I promise I’m a big softie on the inside. I’m still learning the ropes, but I’m trying my best to be a good boy.

I used to be pretty skinny, but thanks to my foster family’s yummy food and lots of love, I’m starting to feel stronger. I love my meals and sometimes even need a little encouragement to finish them. I’m not picky, though – I’ll eat almost anything!

I’m a mix of an athlete and a couch potato—I love my walks but also enjoy lounging around. I know some basic commands like sit and stay, and I’m pretty good on a leash, though I might need a bit more practice. On walks, I’m curious about other dogs, cats, and people, and I handle passing vehicles and critters like a pro.

I’m house trained and communicate my need to go out by standing by the door. I enjoy being brushed and bathed, though I have my sensitive spots. I’m not a fan of loud noises or being left alone for too long, but I’m working on it.

Despite my shyness, I’m actually very friendly. I love being around people, especially when they pet me. I’m a great listener and will sit patiently by your side while you talk.

If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate companion, I’m the dog for you! Can’t wait to meet you and share more fun times together!

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.

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!

Hi! I’m Rusty and I’m thankful to be at GPRA! Despite my rough start in life, I am a friendly boy. I lean in for petting and take treats gently. Walking me on a leash is not difficult either. I used to live with a lot of other dogs, so I would be a good addition to a family with dogs, but that isn’t a must. I have been described as a calm and gentle soul. If you are looking for a sweet addition to your family, I could be your man.

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!
