My Story

Hi, I’m Estrellita—but my foster family also calls me Lina or Lina-bear—and I’m a sweet, loving girl looking for my forever home šŸ’›

I can be a little shy when we first meet, but once I feel safe, my affectionate side really shines. I love being close to my people, soaking up pets and belly rubs, and curling up nearby while you go about your day. When you come home, I’ll happily greet you with a gentle sit and tuck my head into you for snuggles—it’s one of my favorite things.

I’ve got an athletic streak in me and when the zoomies hit, watch out—I’m fast! I especially love grabbing a toy and prancing around like a little kangaroo, entertaining myself with solo play. That said, I’m also great at settling down. If everyone’s relaxing inside, I’m perfectly happy to nap on the carpet near the bed or lounge quietly nearby.

I’m very food-motivated (treats are the way to my heart!), and I already know sit and come. I’m house-trained, crate-trained, and I don’t have any food aggression—even the cats have stolen kibble right from my bowl without me minding at all. Speaking of cats, I’m wonderful with them: gentle, curious, and playful when they get the zooms, but always respectful.

On walks, I start out excited and may pull a bit at first, but I settle into a nicer pace after a few minutes and redirect well when you guide me. I’m curious about other dogs and would love to meet them, though I can be a little cautious at first—quick sniffs and then I might scoot back until I feel confident. I notice squirrels (they look very chaseable!) and kids catch my attention more than adults, but overall I’m just interested in the world around me.

I’m learning to find my voice and will bark occasionally when I see dogs or people through the window during the day, but I’m quiet at night. New noises can startle me at first, but I’m a brave girl—I’ll retreat to my ā€œsafe spot,ā€ assess the situation, and then venture back out once I realize everything’s okay.

Like many young dogs, I sometimes get extra playful and may jump or play-bite when I’m really excited. I’m still working on learning calmer play, so I’d do best with families who can help guide me through that, especially if little kids are around.

I take comfort in having a confident dog friend and really enjoy following their lead, but I’m also perfectly fine doing my own thing. Most of all, I just want to be part of a family—close by, included, and loved.

If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, playful companion with a sweet personality and a heart full of love, I might be your girl. I can’t wait to meet you 🐾✨

My Story

Hi there… my name is Jesse James šŸ¤

I know my name sounds tough, but really, I’m a soft-hearted boy with a quiet spirit. I came to the rescue as a stray with some scrapes and road rash, but I’ve been getting great care and I’m healing up nicely. I’m starting to feel better every day.

I’m a little shy when I meet new people or walk past other dogs. The world still feels big and uncertain sometimes, so I like to take things slow. Once I realize I’m safe, though, I start to relax — and lately I’ve been warming up more and more. Everyone who spends time with me says I’m sweet, calm, and gentle.

I don’t bark much, I try to keep my space clean, and I’m learning how to walk on a leash. I’m not quite sure yet how to ask for attention, but I do enjoy soft pets and kind voices. It just takes me a little time to trust. I promise I’m worth the wait.

What I really dream of is a quiet, patient home with people who will help me feel safe and loved. Maybe one day I’ll curl up at your feet or rest my head in your lap — that sounds pretty wonderful to me.

If you believe in second chances and have a tender heart, I think we could be perfect for each other.

Love,
Jesse James 🐾

My Story

Hello, I’m Madame Morrible šŸ’•

I’ve spent the last chapter of my life being a devoted mama. I raised my puppies with love and care, and I’m so proud to say they’ve all gone off to their very own furever homes. Now… it’s finally my turn.

I can be a little shy and nervous when meeting new people, but please don’t let that worry you. I just need time, patience, and kindness. Once I feel safe, I slowly start to show my sweet, gentle self and form deep bonds with my people.

Other dogs are my comfort zone. I do great with canine friends, and I would truly thrive in a home with a larger, confident dog who can help guide me, build my confidence, and show me that the world isn’t such a scary place. Having a dog buddy helps me trust faster and feel more at ease.

I’m not looking for perfection—just a calm, understanding home where I can continue to heal, learn, and finally be cherished the way I deserve. If you have a patient heart and a friendly dog who wouldn’t mind helping me find my confidence, I think we could be something really special together.

Love,
Madame Morrible 🐾

My Story

Hi, I’m North — a gentle, quiet girl with a silly side and the sweetest smooshy face you’ll ever meet.

I’m living in a foster home right now, and it’s helping me learn how wonderful life can be. At first, I’m a little shy and need a few minutes to feel safe, but once I trust you, I love soft pets, gentle affection, and following you around with a happy little smile. I’m curious, friendly, and secretly pretty goofy once I relax.

I love other dogs — they make me light up! I get so excited when I see them, and I follow my doggy friend Lumi’s lead in just about everything. In fact, Lumi helps me feel brave, so a home with another friendly dog would make me very happy.

I’m an explorer at heart. When I’m outside, I love trotting around the yard, sniffing everything, and enjoying a little freedom. But I also settle nicely in my kennel and enjoy relaxing most of the day. I’m not into toys or chewing, and I don’t guard food or items. I mostly graze throughout the day and can be a little picky, but I’ll take my medicine in wet food with some encouragement.

I’m still learning leash manners — I can walk on a leash, but I’d love someone patient who can teach me not to pull. Loud noises, storms, sirens, and all those scary things? They don’t bother me at all. I’m respectful of fences, I enjoy car rides, I don’t drool, and brushing feels just fine once I trust you.

The humans say I’m an ā€œaverage barker,ā€ which really just means I bark when everyone else does. I spend most of my time outside, I know how to use a doggy door, and I always try to wait for yard time to go potty.

My foster mom says her favorite thing about me is how sweet I am and how I seek out love once I feel secure. I’m a sensitive soul with a huge heart, and I’m ready for a family who will give me patience, kindness, and a doggy friend to help me shine.

If you’re looking for a gentle, curious, loving girl who will blossom with a little time and trust, I’d be so excited to meet you. I can’t wait to find my forever home — and keep smiling my silly little smile for the people who love me.

My Story

Hi, I’m Lumi — a mellow, affectionate sweetheart who loves belly rubs, gentle hugs, and being close to my people.

I’m spending my days in a foster home right now, and I’m learning just how wonderful life can be. I’m naturally calm and quiet, but don’t let that fool you — I’m also friendly, outgoing, and full of love once I feel safe. My foster mom says I’m a ā€œprofessional cuddler,ā€ and honestly… she’s not wrong. If snuggling were an Olympic sport, I’d bring home the gold.

I enjoy exploring the yard and getting a little burst of zoomies, but after that, I’m perfectly happy relaxing for most of the day. I love to sit politely for affection and will happily roll over to show you my tummy — belly rubs are my favorite thing in the world! I also like offering my paw during pets, just to make sure you know I adore you too.

I’m a picky eater and prefer to graze, but I don’t guard food or toys (not that I care much for toys anyway). I walk on a leash but would love someone to help me learn not to pull. New dogs and new people make me a tiny bit cautious at first, but I warm up quickly, especially if they’re friendly. I always wag and greet politely once I feel comfortable.

I’m very reliable with my potty habits — even in my kennel, I wait for yard time, no matter how long it’s been. I respect fences, don’t mind being brushed, don’t drool, and I’m a fantastic car passenger who hops right in.

One more thing: I’m very bonded to my friend North. I always look out for her, and I feel better when she’s nearby. Having another dog around—especially one who’s calm and kind—helps me feel even more secure.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving, cuddly companion who will happily snuggle by your side and give you all the affection you could ever want, I’d love to meet you. I’m ready for a forever home where I can love big, relax deeply, and show you just what a sweetheart I truly am.

Our Story

Hi there! We’re Ham and Cranberry — a bonded pair who have walked every step of this journey side-by-side, and we’re ready to find our forever home… together.

Life didn’t start out easy for us. We were abandoned on a property in Alabama, and a kind local rescue kept us fed until GPRA could bring us to safety. Cranberry delivered our seven puppies overnight in an unheated building, and she’s been the most devoted, loving mom you could ever imagine. While she’s busy caring for our babies, I (Ham) am in boarding — but soon we’ll be reunited again, just like we’re meant to be.

Everyone who meets us says the same things:
We’re gentle. We’re sweet. We’re calm. We’re easy.
Basically… we’re the pyrfect pair.

I, Ham, am the cuddly, friendly guy who loves everyone and walks beautifully on a leash. Cranberry brings the same peaceful, grateful energy — soft, steady, and full of quiet love. When you see us together, it’s clear: we’re happiest side-by-side.

We don’t bring chaos or drama.
We bring serenity, devotion, and the kind of companionship that fills a home with warmth.

We’ve been through a lot, but we’ve never lost hope — because we know the right family is out there, one who will open their hearts to both of us. All we want is what every soul longs for: safety, kindness, and a forever home where we can finally exhale… together.

If you’re searching for two loving Great Pyrenees who will give you nothing but calm affection and gentle companionship, we’d love to meet you.

My Story

Hi, I’m Finn!

Right now I’m staying in boarding while I wait for my forever family. I’m doing my best to be brave, but what I really want is a home of my own where I can relax, feel safe, and stay close to my people. I do well with submissive female dogs, but I’m not a match for male dogs or small dogs. I am good with cats, though!

I’m a loyal guardian type who loves having a yard to watch over, and I take that job seriously. I love being outside, but I also really want to be inside with my people. I respect secure fencing, but I’m athletic, so a solid, well-built fence is important for me.

I enjoy going for walks and settle nicely into the rhythm after a few minutes. I walk well on leash, though I may get excited if I see a squirrel or something extra-interesting. I’m generally polite around other dogs on walks if they keep a respectful distance. Loud e-bikes and sirens get my attention — I like to announce them! — but regular people, joggers, and traffic are no big deal to me.

Inside the home, I’m easygoing and well-mannered. I’m fully house-trained and will quietly go to the door when I need to go out. I can be left alone uncrated and won’t bother your things — I mostly relax or nap. I like bones and chew toys, but I can be protective of them around other dogs, so those should be managed carefully in a multi-dog home. With humans, though, I’m nothing but gentle and affectionate.

I’m very food-motivated and I do gobble my meals, so I should be fed separately from other animals. I’m never aggressive with humans — honestly, I’m just thrilled when you hand me my bowl. I love treats (especially chicken jerky!), and because I want so much to please, those treats go a long way in helping me learn. I still need work on formal commands, but I’m smart, and with patience and rewards, I’ll get there.

My favorite moments are the simple ones — leaning against you while you pet me, resting my head on your lap, or getting wrapped up in a towel after the rain while you talk to me. That’s when I feel most connected. I also really like being brushed and will patiently wait while you work through my fluffy coat. I may look big and majestic, but deep down, I’m just a sensitive, loyal boy who loves deeply and bonds strongly.

If you’re looking for a devoted companion — a true guardian with a soft heart — and you have room in your life for a gentle Pyr who wants to belong, I might be the perfect match. I’m ready to love, protect, learn, and finally settle into the forever home I’ve been waiting for.
