April showers bring May flowers, and one of those Spring flowers has already bloomed. It’s me, Misty Gigi! You can see my gorgeous pyr-ents, Moose and Shadow Gigi, who are available for adoption as well. My eyes are the blue of a misty morning, and I’ve been told eye color doesn’t set in until three to four months of age. You might even get misty-eyed over how adorable I am! One of my most marvelous qualities is how much I love people. Getting pets and snuggling close are two of my favorite ways to spend a rainy afternoon! And, of course, as a pyr puppy, a little mist won’t stop me from being playful. Romping around in a yard is a must-have on my daily schedule! One day, I’ll grow into a mesmerizing pyr lady, but don’t get lost in the mists of time yet because I’ve still got a lot of growing to do. Amidst all the hugs and zoomies, I’ll also need to do some training. Us baby pyrs need continued potty training, leash training, and basic command training all through positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement means using only treats and praise to help me learn all these important life skills. I’ll tell you what I can see clearly through the mist. It’s my new family adopting me! Could it be you?

Hello, World! Did you know that clovers are lucky? I’m Harley Clover, and my foster mom says that my name matches me perfectly because of my happy-go-lucky personality! My foster family enjoys watching me explore the house and the outdoors because I have a very curious nature. I love to play with other dogs too, including my sister Lulu. We have the best time romping around together in the yard, so I know I’ll enjoy a doggy companion at home. With me, you’ll be rolling in clover because I’m great with people as well. Foster Mama tells me that I’m very friendly and outgoing! Sometimes, I get a little scared when I’m approached outside, but I quickly realize you’re a friend, especially when you’ve got a treat in your hand. I feel all wrapped in clover whenever I’m being fed treats! Being a treat-motivated pup should make training easy and fun. As I’m still a baby pyr, I’ll need to continue the potty-training and leash-training that I’m doing with my foster mama. Us pyrs prefer positive reinforcement training which means training with treats and praise, please. If you adopt me, you’ll thank your lucky stars because I’m such a sweet and loving girl!

Lucky Lulu, here! I’m lucky because of my name: Lulu Clover. My foster mom tells me that four-leaf clovers bring people luck.  And, you’ll be lucky to have me too because I’m a very sweet and loving girl! True, I can be a little like a wallflower at first when I meet new people, but with a gentle touch and a few delightful treats, I bloom into a cuddly pup. Belly rubs are my favorite! I’m the same way with new dogs too. When we’re introduced, I’m a bit stand-offish, but as soon as I realize we’re two leaves of the same clover, I’m all in! Just the other day, I had the best time playing with another pup, and I get along great with my sister, Harley Clover, of course. I’ll need training too because I’m still a baby pyr. Foster Mom is working on leash-training and potty-training with me, so my new family will have to continue teaching me these skills through positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement means giving me treats and praise while I’m learning how to potty outside and how to walk on the leash. If there’s treats involved, I’m like a pig in clover which should make training me really easy! I know I’ll be the luckiest pyr in the world to go home with the right family for me. Could it be you?

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-a! My oh my, it’s a wonderful, puppy day! I’m Zippy, and I’m so excited to meet you. I’m a baby pyr pup who is ready to zip right into the life of the family who is perfect for me. My foster parents say that I truly am zippy. I move fast around the house, and I love to run in the yard. Because of my energy level, I’ll definitely need a fenced-in backyard to play in. I’m athletic too! I can easily zip, or jump, over furniture, so a six-foot fence will be best for me. When I’m inside the house, I have to get out my puppy energy too, so I need lots of sturdy chew toys, Kong toys stuffed with yummy snacks, and antler ears, please! As a puppy, I have such a zest for life that sometimes I get a little mouthy or jump up out of excitement, but those chew toys and chewy treats keep me occupied and redirect me. My foster family tells me, though, that their favorite thing about me is how much I love them. It makes me a good listener because I really want to please my humans. Even when I’m zigging and zagging in the grass, I always come when called. Foster Mom and Foster Dad taught me “sit” as well, and I’m learning “come” and “off.” Basically, it’s easy to get me to learn new commands through positive reinforcement because I’m treat-motivated and adore praise and attention! My fosters also complimented me on how smart I am. I am already house-trained, and Foster Mom takes me out frequently to reinforce my potty-training. Foster Mama put bells on the back door, so I paw them whenever I need to ask to go outside to potty. Leash-walking is another skill I’ve picked up. When we see other dogs in the neighborhood, my tail does a zingy wag left and right which means I think I’ll enjoy other dogs in the home. I’m also a good car rider, so I’m really ready to come home with you. If you have a zeal for pyr pups and you’re ready to put in the time and effort it takes to raise one, then consider adopting me today.

It’s a marshmallow world all the time when you’re with me! My name’s Marshmallow, and I’m as squishy and soft and cuddly as my name suggests! I’m also a young, pyr boy, so I’ve got some good bouncy energy. A good marshmallow always has a nice bounce! Like a marshmallow, though, I’m sweet no matter the situation, and you’ll see what I mean when we take a walk around the neighborhood. My GPRA friends love to compliment me on how well I walk on the leash and how excited I am to meet both other dogs and people. People are the chocolate square to my marshmallow because we go perfectly together! I adore attention, and I always want s’more…get it? Hehe! We all know that an over-toasted marshmallow can get a little sticky, and the only sticky situation I find myself in is when I’m crated or kenneled. It’s really not for me! I need a family who is okay with this piece of marshmallow fluff roaming around the house when they’re gone, or maybe we could try baby-gating off one room. As long as I have enough space to move around freely, I’ll float happily around like the marshmallowy cloud I am. One of the best, most marshmallow-iest things about me, however, is that I’m housetrained! Admit it, you’ve always wanted to know what it felt like to hug a marshmallow. Well, now, you can, so consider adopting me, today!

Hi-ya, Everybody! I’m Juniper, and my name means evergreen. That’s because I’m a youthful female who is ready to go to her forever home! Speaking of the evergreens, I’m learning how to potty outside, but as a smart young lady, I know I’ll pick it up quickly. There’s nothing more relaxing than watching the trees sway in the breeze, and my personality evokes the same feeling. My GPRA friends say I’m a calm and easy-going dog. Evergreen also can signify something that stays green and grows year round. One thing that is always true about me is how much I love people! I’m a friendly pyr who is happy to meet everybody, and my favorite activity is getting pets from my human friends. My amiable personality combined with my excellent leash skills will make me the new dog celebrity of the neighborhood. Consider taking me home today, and my love for you will be evergreen!

Hi, I’m Goldie, and I’m here to tell you that I’m worth my weight in gold due to my pyr-fect personality! My foster family says I’m a sweet and easy-going dog. As a young pyr lady, I’ve still got that good as gold pyr energy. Because I get a gold star for being friendly, I can have lots of fun playing with other dogs. At my foster home, I live with another female dog, and we go for gold when it comes to being best buds. My only preference is that we are fed separately; otherwise, we’re golden! I also have a heart of gold when it comes to cats. We even sleep together in the same bed! If they run, I do like to chase, but I’m easily redirected. If you’re looking for a dog who will let you know what’s going on, then look no further because I am a good pyr barker. As the saying goes, silence is golden unless you’re a pyr! Foster Dad and I are working on my inside barking, though, and I’m getting better. For me, living in a quiet suburb will be a golden opportunity because I really do like a surrounding without a lot of city noise. Besides being great with other dogs and cats, I’m fantastic with humans, of course. With me, you’ll strike gold because I’m good with people and kids! Coming home with you would be like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Please consider taking me home today!

I’m Percy Sledge, and I’m popping in to say, “Hello! Wanna be my best friend?” There’s one thing I’m passionate about above all else: people! I even love those little ones called children. Foster Mom says my particular speciality is cuddling, but I like to give kisses too. My perfect home would be where my family is home more often than not since I don’t like being alone. I’m a velcro dog, so I want to be wherever you are. Of course, sometimes, you have leave which makes me a little upset, so I need to baby-gated off to one area; that way, I won’t jump up on things when you’re gone. Speaking of jumping up, I am a big boy, and I, occasionally, counter surf; however, Foster Mama and I are working on it. Because I’m treat-motivated, I’m a proficient trainee! I’ve already learned several commands: sit, stop, okay, off. Foster Mom tells me I’m quite poised on the leash too, so I’m easy to walk. When we see other people and dogs on our walks, I’m phenomenal at being the friendly neighborhood pyr. If you want to have people over our house to visit, I’ll be sure to give them a proper pyr greeting with a pyr paw, of course! Other dogs, both male and female, can come over for a playdate as well because I consider my canine brethren to be my pals. Or, we could visit friends and neighbors as I’m a pleasant and polite car rider! I’ll always be excited to come back to our house, though, because to me, there’s no place like home. And, I treat the house like a palace by always pottying outside; that’s right, I’m completely housetrained! Whether you want to spend a peaceful afternoon brushing me or giving me lots of pets, I’ll just be happy to be by your side.

‘Tis the season for ginger, Max Ginger to be exact! You see, ginger is a key ingredient in pumpkin pie spice, so I’ve arrived just in time for Fall. It’s a warming spice just like me because I’ll keep you cozy and warm with lots of pyr cuddles. When I want to get some attention, I’ll tap you gingerly with my paw; we call that pyr paw! I like to snuggle close with my humans both young and old. Maybe, I’ll play in leaf piles with the kiddos outside in the backyard. I’m still a young pyr boy, so I can keep up with them!  Part of my young pyr energy means that I still chew on things when bored because I like to be kept busy, but I’m learning. I like to play with toys, so that’s a great way to keep me occupied. We can even watch the leaves fall as you brush my glorious fur! That’s another activity I really enjoy. Or, maybe, I’ll lay by your side while you enjoy a pumpkin spice latte. And, if we have to drive to the coffee shop to get it, that’s okay because I’m good in the car. While humans are the spice of life, I get along great with other dogs too. I can bring a gingery sweetness to your pack! Cats and other small animals make me get a little spicy and want to give chase, so I shouldn’t go to a home with them. You’ll see on a walk that squirrels make me feel the same way. Another funny thing about me is how I walk on the leash; I’m very steady and don’t pull, but I zig-zag. My foster mama says I just need lots of practice. One thing I am already skilled at is pottying outside! All the best things in life have ginger: gingerbread, pumpkin pie, ginger ale, and me, of course! Please think about taking me home and making me a part of your family.
