My Story

Hey, Everybody! I’m Gurley, and it’s great to meet you. I’m a lovely, housetrained gal who has her I’ve gotta go game face on lock! I’ll let you know when it’s potty time by standing by the back door and saying, “Woof!” In general, the backyard is a pretty good place to be. Watching the woods and everything that goes on inside it is the best doggy TV! When it comes to other dogs in my home, I’m very genteel. My doggy foster sister is my best girl pal, and we have a great time playing outside. I have a young doggy male friend too, and we have some good zoomies together! If you just want to stroll around the neighborhood, I’m great on the leash. I can be strong on the leash if I see another dog, but my foster mom easily redirects me with a treat. We are working on it together because walking is genuinely one of my favorite things to do! The only parts I don’t like about the outdoors are thunder and fireworks like a lot of my pyr brethren. Good thing I love being indoors too! Cozy is this girl’s middle name, so we can snuggle up on the sofa together. The couch is my favorite place to sleep because lounging by my humans just gladdens my heart. Foster Mama says I have a very sweet and loving personality, and I truly adore my foster family! When you come back to the house, I greet you with giddy enthusiasm and lots of pyr paw to say, “Welcome home!” While you can leave me home alone without being crated, I can come with you on your outings too because I ride well in the car. If we’re going to the groomer, even better, because I am really good at being brushed and bathed. I’m a friendly pyr girly just looking for a family to love, and I guarantee you’ll love me right back!

Ruger, here! If you’re looking for a larger female with a sweet and radiant personality, then I’m your girl. In fact, while I am an alpha female, I get along great with beta males and beta females. A beta male dog is my best friend at my foster home! I could go to a home as an only dog too because my humans are everything to me! Cuddling people and just hanging out by them is a great way to spend an afternoon. I even get along royally with my kitty-cat friends! On walks, I’m usually relaxed on the leash; however, I can be strong and pull towards other dogs out of excitement. I have just the right amount of pyr energy, so I do enjoy being outside in a yard or on a walk. If I have a yard, a six-foot fence will keep me safe as well because I can be an escape artist. Most of the time in the backyard, though, I am calm and watchful. You’ll see that my coat is resplendent in the sun! I like to keep my coat looking regal, and the good news is that I don’t mind being groomed. My tolerance for grooming comes from the fact that I truly love and trust my people. When they tell me to sit, stay, leave it, or come, I listen like a rockstar! Because I’m food-motivated, learning commands has been a rewarding experience. I’m also house-trained! If you need to run an errand, you can rest easy knowing that I can be left alone to roam the house. I’ll take a restorative nap while you’re gone. Or, you can take me with you because riding in the car is a lot of fun! I’m so ready to go home with the right family for me, and I promise I’ll reciprocate with all my love!

Hi, everyone! I’m Moose. Moose are one of the largest mammals in North America, and while I’m not 1000 lbs, I’m a big boy! Moose get so sizable by eating lots and lots of plants; they must have to walk a lot to eat that many greens. Greens aren’t my thing, but walking is my favorite! We can go take a walk at the park because I ride well in the car too. When moose are out and about, they have to bellow to each other to communicate. If you need me, however, I know the commands: come and sit. Moose even like to roar and grunt, but I’m fine with barking. I’m good at communicating. When I need to go potty, I go to the door to let you know. I’d love to come home with you and join your herd!

David Bowie sang about ch-ch-changes, but I don’t know if he ever had to find a new home because of other peoples’ changes. This boy is only 3 years old, a proud 105 lbs. and I need a new family because of human things I don’t understand. It’s OK, though, because GPRA is helping me find new people. They told sharing a list of all my awesomeness will help so here goes…I’m good with kids, cats, and dogs. Men aren’t my favorite, but I warm up to them as we get to know each other. I’m smart and know what to do when I hear sit, touch, and lay down. Bet you I can learn more words if there are enough treats involved, too. When my current family comes home, I wait patiently in the living room for them to come say hello to me. Walks are great, I’ve been known to dart at those noisy things on wheels once in a while so best to keep a good hold on the leash. Light thunderstorms are manageable; I get anxious during STRONG storms.

Hi! I’m Baahloo! I’m a young and happy puppy! I’m great with people and other dogs. I’m house-trained and sleep in a crate at night. My parents can’t take care of me anymore due to health and time constraints. I can’t wait to meet my new family! More info coming soon…

If you’re busy, read my story, it’s short. I’m a three or four-year-old, 105 lb., recently found “little” girl. It sounds sad but being a GPRA rescue is way better than being an unwanted dog as some have hinted when they thought I wasn’t listening. A lot of lovely people fed me while I was wandering around alone. Hopefully those two things will come together, and someone here will want and feed me while they teach me to walk on a leash and love me while I learn all the other things good dogs do. Are you that someone? Please email info@greatpyratlanta.com, click “Contact Us” or choose “Apply to Adopt” below so the adoption team can help you decide. I really want a family.

I love my puppies but as moms with grown kids know, they’ll move into their own homes someday and then what? Well, that’s where YOU come in for this four-year-old, 105 lb. girl! My foster family says I’m an excellent puppy mom, protecting my litter from the Pyr boys in the house who were just too curious for my comfort. We’re all friends now, though: people, Pyrs, chickens even the cat is OK. Definitely not my first choice for company but OK. I’m super sweet, love attention, cuddling, and car rides. Which is good because I want to go everywhere my people go. My puppies need me most of the time,  so I’ve only had limited leash time but so far so good. My foster mom says we’ll take longer walks as my kids get more independent. Which coincidentally might be about the same time you and I could go for a walk and get better acquainted. please email info@greatpyratlanta.com, click “Contact Us” or choose “Apply to Adopt” below.
