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 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

Hi Pyr Friends! I’m here to reintroduce myself to you. I’m so happy to have a foster home and not be in a kennel anymore! GPRA now has a much better idea of what a fabulous companion I can be. My foster mom says that I like to be wherever humans are. If you go outside, I’m happy to go with you. If you come inside, I want to come and lay on the floor beside you. My favorite activities are going for walks or going on a car rides. When walking, I don’t react to other dogs or critters. I mostly like to just smell all the smells. I’m easy to walk, but I’m not much for running. I might bark at trucks, but I don’t lunge toward them. The only noises that really bother me are sirens, but no one likes those, right? My foster says that I’m really smart and I know commands such as “sit”, “down” and “stay”. I’m food motivated, so I’m learning to take treats softly from humans. I do not counter surf or try to get on the furniture. Chewing isn’t really my thing either. I might enjoy a filled bone, but stuffed toys aren’t interesting to me.

I’m easy to groom. I like to be petted, so brushing is not problem. Cutting my toenails is pretty easy too. One funny thing I do with my foster mom is that I like to be towel dried. When I’m wrapped in a towel, I get affectionate and silly.  Foster mom says that I would be good as an only dog, or with another dog. Either is fine with me. I am just really ready for my own family! Please consider adding me to yours by applying to adopt at GPRA.

My Story

Hi, I’m Bo Crumble! Now, doesn’t that sound like the name of a country singer? I’m more like the dessert crumble because I’m so sweet! My GPRA friends say I love to give hugs and to follow them around, and the only thing I love as much as people is walking. Walking is something I’m really good at. I love and respect my GPRA pals so much that I also wait very patiently for any treats. I also know the command: sit, and I’ll gladly show you for a biscuit or two. If I get a cookie or a dog biscuit, and get crumbs in my fur, don’t worry because I love to be brushed! I’ll probably nudge your hand for pets while I’m getting groomed. But, if you want to take me to a groomer, that’s okay too because I ride well in the car. I’m a loving pyr who can’t wait to come with you!
