The Oreo is world-famous, and this Oreo should be too because of how sweet and handsome I am! Just take a look at my cookies and cream coat. I’m also kind of like a mega-stuffed oreo due to my size, but my extra-largeness allows me to give mega hugs. Since I’m a big, strong boy, I can be a bit of a puller on the leash. With some consistent positive reinforcement training, my leash skills will become golden as a golden oreo! The best part of pyr-sonality is how friendly I am. It’s double-stuffed with a kindness for other fuzzy creatures and people! I seem to get along well with the other dogs and cats that I meet. Oreo is said to be milk’s favorite cookie, and I hope I can be your favorite pup because I love people! At first, I’m a tiny bit shy, but I warm up quickly. Then, I’ll want a big Oreo sandwich hug! Giving hugs is really fun, but I’m learning the command “sit” too. My loving nature means I like lots of attention, and it will be good for both of us if you continue to teach me basic commands through treats and praise. I’ll be getting the attention I want, and you’ll be raising a good boy! One skill I’ve already learned is how to be on a potty schedule. With a going-outside routine, I’m basically housetrained! While Oreo cookies are good in almost every dessert, the best place for Oreo the dog (that’s me) will be in my forever home with lots of love.

Bonjour, my pyr friends! I’m Gigi! My name is from France, and like the French, I enjoy the finer things in life. To me, the finest things in this world are my humans, adults and kiddos alike! Foster Mama tells me I’m a velcro dog because I stick by her side. My favorite way to spend an afternoon is cuddling on the couch with her. I’m the best couch companion because I’m warm and fluffy just like a croissant! In France, the restroom is called a water closet. Well, I’m a dog and don’t use the water closet, but I am good at pottying outside. I go to the door to say, “Let me out, please!” Besides being housetrained, I’m also okay to be left alone without the crate. In Paris, everyone walks everywhere, and I like to walk too! Foster Mom says I’m excellent on the leash. I have other skills too; I know the commands: sit, stay, come, and down. Paris is also known as the romantic capital of the world, and while I don’t know much about romance, I do have love for my fellow canine friends. While I’m good with other dogs and people, I am a bit timid. The outside world is a little scary to me, but my foster mama is helping to build my confidence. If you’re looking for a sweet but shy girl who will be your amie, your best friend, then look no further. I’m here and ready to come home with you!

Hi, pyr friends! My name is Luna Izzo. My GPRA transporter gave me the last name of some college basketball coach. I don’t know anything about basketball, but I would love to snuggle with you while you watch the game. As long as there are no cats swishing around, I’m happy! The nice lady also says that I am the calmest dog she’s ever transported. That’s because I love traveling (like the basketball term) in the car. In this case, traveling is a good thing! I’m a great house guest too because I’m always house-trained. I can even be left home alone without being destructive. I want to be a good girl even when my coaches (that’s you) aren’t looking! When we’re at home together, I like to cuddle and take naps. Practicing commands can be fun too. I’ll do a command, and you can make the assist by giving me a training treat. I already know sit, stay, and off, so my training is paying off. I’m mostly good on a leash as well! I just need a little help with pulling when I see a dog sometimes; not all dogs make me want to pull, but some do. A family who doesn’t mind helping me with leash-training would be great. I’m a big girl, so I can be strong on the leash when something gets me excited. With some practice and positive reinforcement, though, my leash-walking skills will be a slam dunk! Walking is really fun as is running around the yard. The yard is like my basketball court, and I love to run up and down through the grass. What I really like, however, is to be petted! I will even gently nudge you if you stop. It’s my friendly way of saying, “More love, please!” I’m looking for a furever family that will make a fast break for me and help me make the alley-oop. You’ll throw a ball of love towards me, I’ll catch it, and put it into the basket of my heart. Could you be my perfect match? I’d love to join your team!

Hi-ya! I’m Buddy Elf! While I’m as cheery as an elf, I’m not small like one. I’m a big pyr boy who needs a fenced in backyard where I can stretch my long legs! Also, I don’t need as much space as the elves have at the North Pole, but I do like the peaceful atmosphere of life outside of the city. Elves are also known for their camaraderie whether they’re singing together or making toys. And, guess what? I LOVE being around other dogs! We don’t sing carols or make rocking horses, but we do play a lot. I have good, puppy energy, so being with another large dog is a must for me; however, I get along best with beta dogs since I’m the alpha! Elves love people too; I’ve heard they make cookies or shoes for them. People are my favorite! Cuddling on the couch with my humans makes me so happy. You’ll see in a lot of my pictures that I love being on the couch. I’m as cozy on the couch as an elf nestled in a fuzzy slipper! My foster family says my loving nature is what makes me a very special boy. Belly rubs and getting brushed are like candy to me! Another thing that makes me as sweet as peppermint is I’m housetrained! Speaking of treats, I’m very treat-motivated which makes me easy to train. So far, I’ve learned “sit” and “down.” If you need to get an extra shot of cheer in the form of espresso, please take me along! I love to be where my people are, and I love car rides, not to mention pup cups. I’m as excited as an elf flying in Santa’s sleigh when we go for a ride! Going for walks is fun too. Like elves, I’m known for my friendly disposition. Because I want to be everyone’s buddy, I do sometimes pull hard towards people out of excitement. Foster Mama and I are working on it! We’re also working on getting me less scared of loud noises when we’re on our neighborhood strolls, so I’ll need someone who is committed to helping me overcome my fear of loud cars or high winds. I can’t wait to be your best buddy! Please consider taking me home today!

Big Boy Dubie Dubie Doo, where are you? I’m right here for anyone who is looking for a sweet, handsome boy to join their family! I was left on my own for a while, so I need some leash training. Luckily, I am easily bribed by Scooby Snacks by which I mean treats, of course! Gentle pets and praises go far with me to build my confidence. If I’m looking like I might say Ruh-roh, I just need some comforts and cuddles to feel all right. It’s no mystery! I’m a very loving dog who can’t wait to go home with you.

Good day wishes to everyone! I’m the affectionate and adoring Snowflake Rose. Unfortunately, even though caring humans made multiple attempts to get my owner to surrender me, I had to live a life filled with neglect. But, I never gave up hope, and through it all, I kept my loving Pyr heart!
Here are a few things that my foster family has learned about me.
“Snowflake Rose is by far the most loveable and attention-seeking Pyr we have ever had. She adores affection from both humans and animals (even cats)!” (Yes, sadly, I am making up for living an isolated, neglected, and penned-up life. But, not anymore, thanks to GPRA!)
“Snowflake Rose knows commands such as ‘sit, ‘come,’ ‘down,’ and ‘no.’ “
“The minute you touch or pet Snowflake Rose, she will close her eyes and Pyr paw you to continue. She very much loves companionship and physical touch from her humans. We have never encountered a more gentle dog than Snowflake Rose.”
“From the first day with us, Snowflake Rose is making great progress learning house manners and trusting her surroundings. But, when she gets unsure of new things, she gives us a low bark. It’s as if she is seeking our help and telling us she is scared. So, we take things slowly with Snowflake Rose.”
“Snowflake Rose loves attention so much that she kept our master gardener neighbors company all day as they worked on our shared property line. She moved with them as they worked down the line trimming back the landscaping, no barking, but instead, she was very content and curious watching them work throughout the day. She was definitely in her element, and her Pyr-happiness showed.” (Yes, for the first time, I am finally living and only now know what love, kindness, and happiness feel like.)
Pyrly grateful forever, Snowflake Rose ❄️ 🌹

Hellos! I am the lovely Luna Leone, and I am eager to make a Pyr-awesome first impression! My foster mom has lots of good things to share with you about me. Here goes:
“Luna is curious, new to the indoors, strong, and a total lover and cuddler! When indoors, she is a ‘real’ couch potato and enjoys the AC! She is super sweet with visitors; all she wants are lots of pets!” (Who knew that inside living is better than the outside, especially on hot summer days!  Oh, one more thing, I hope my future family invites lots of guests over; the more cuddles, the better!)
“Luna knows ‘sit’ and does well with other dogs! She likes to go for walks! She needs help getting comfortable with a leash, but overall does quite well! (Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my Pyr-sister recently, so I would love to have other fur-family members.)
“Luna has been fine being left at home alone with my dog!” (Playdates with my foster fur-friend are pretty chill, we mostly try to outdo each other with how long we can sleep!)
“Luna does not have a schedule or a specific way to let me know she needs to go outside. However, she is learning the house training routine very quickly.” (Yep, Pyrs are smart. We only need a little time and patience to learn new routines.)
“Luna is such a wonderful, sweet Pyr. I think she will be great with someone with a backyard and invested in getting her to a healthy weight and spoiled with cuddles and indoor living.” (Aww, thank you!)
“Luna has not been unusually afraid of storms or fireworks. Of course, loud car noises startle her, but this is not unusual.” (I’m getting the hang of my new life, and it’s incredible! When will I get to meet my new family because I’m Pyr-ready for it!)
Pyrly yours, Luna

Hi there! My name is Lex, how about we get to know each other?

I’ll start- let me just say I am an excellent and oh so handsome companion. I typically like to lounge around the house and “go with the flow” but will jump up to go for a walk with my humans any time!
Speaking of walks, I LOVE them and am very well-mannered on the leash. Just make sure (as any responsible dog owner should) that I am always on a leash or I might just try to escape for some extra fun and oh do I love to be chased!
I love love my family big and small but prefer big humans because you know, less tail tugging and more big boy exercise! I am house-trained *hold for applause* and am happy being loose in the house at all times! Bonus: I am great with cats, in fact I think they’re the boss of me and am very respectful of them.
I am very friendly towards all other doggos and strangers I meet, meeting new friends is fun so let’s do it often!
A few things they say potential families should note and things I can work on (pfft I’m already pyrfect though)
I have general anxiety, before my last home no one knows my history so we cannot say what from.
I do not like to be left outside… I do my business and back in I go or I will bark and quickly dig out of the yard. Uh oh.
I am not a fan of confinement: crates or car rides. So little in fact, I will try and climb all the way into the front seat to be in your lap… idk what is wrong with that though, I am the protector and would make a great chau”fur”.
I also get very protective of my food and bone around others I deem subordinate. I’m sure we can work this out though in good time!
Overall, I am the best boy who deserves lots of love and patience. I can be stubborn as many young male Pyrs are, but will reward you with my own fluffy hugs and cuddles on the couch. Let’s have a pyrfect pawty! What do you say?
