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

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!
