My Story

Hi! I’m Layla, a sweet and playful gal, and I’m looking for my forever home. Let me tell you a little about myself:

I came from an animal shelter and now I’m with a wonderful foster family who is helping me find my perfect family.

I love all the food—I’m not picky at all. Dry food, wet food, treats, bones… if it’s edible, I’m interested! I’ll never turn down a snack, and I don’t mind sharing my food bowl with humans, although I haven’t been around other dogs yet to know how I feel about sharing with them. But don’t worry, I’m not the possessive type—I’m totally cool with having my toys or treats taken away with no fuss.

I’m a bit of a mix when it comes to activity. Sometimes I’m a total couch potato and just want to curl up with you for some snuggles and pets (which, by the way, I love). Other times, I’m a little ball of energy who would happily chase after a ball and run around the yard for hours. I’m a pretty well-rounded girl—fun and active when it’s time to play, but also super chill when you just want to relax together.

I know how to sit, and I’m pretty well-behaved on a leash, so you won’t have trouble walking me around the neighborhood. I’m friendly with people, adults and kids alike, and I’ve been a good girl meeting new people in the house.

Oh, and I love being brushed! I’m a big fan of pets and belly rubs too (who isn’t?). You can touch my ears, paws, and pretty much anywhere without me getting upset. I’m super tolerant when it comes to handling, so you won’t have to worry about that.

I don’t mind being left alone when you go out, and I won’t bark or whine for long—just a little cry when you leave, but it stops after about 10 minutes.

If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing companion who can be both a playful pup and a relaxed couch buddy, I’m your girl! I’m a little bit smaller than most Pyrenees, so I’m just the right size for cuddling, and I don’t drool or bark excessively—bonus! I promise I’ll make you smile every day with my goofy, loving personality. 💖

Greetings, my PYR friends! I’m Princess Jaquita, and my name rhymes with vaquita which means small cow in Spanish. While I’m not a cow, I am a pocket pyr! There’s a special type of dolphin named the vaquita, and it is petite and cute like me. It even has dark rings around its eyes too! The vaquita dolphin will swim away if a boat comes near, and I need time to get to know people as well. Once I trust you, though, I love getting kisses and belly rubs! I also love being with my fellow doggies. Dolphins always live in groups, and I’ve lived with another dog my whole life. A very important part of a dolphin family is the children, and I couldn’t agree more! Kids are special to me too. While dolphins use echolocation to get from one place to another, I have to use a leash or ride in a car. Luckily, my GPRA transporter said I’m easy on the leash and great in the car. If you’re looking for a smaller pyr with a lot of love to give, I’m ready to come home with you and join your pod (that’s dolphin for family)!

If you’re wondering how I got my name, that’s one of the few things I can tell you about myself. GPRA named me Blue Jean for my beautiful Husky-like eyes! Oh, and I also know that I am too thin. However, everything is new and scary, so eating while acclimating to my new surroundings is not a priority. Give me a little more time, and I will relax and make up for lost meals. The first time my foster mom took me outside, I hid in the first corner I found. And, when she brought me inside, I claimed the bathroom as my safe space. Since the door is always open, I hear my foster mom and brother talking. They always stop to pet me and say hello when they walk past, which helps to build my trust.
Here’s a list my foster mom wrote for me to share.
Things I learned in my first 48 hours with Blue Jean…
1. A severe thunderstorm with raucous hail and pounding rain is a non-event; a car passing the fence while Blue Jean is outside is terrifying. (Those things humans call cars are bizarre.)
2. She’s curious but not brave enough to follow through yet. (With time, my Pyr confidence will begin to shine through!)
3. Since she knows what “outside” means, Blue Jean seems house trained. She is also starting to respond to her name. (Blue Jean is a cool name. Thank you.)
4. Treats serve no purpose. (As I settle in and get more comfortable, I am sure healthy treats will become one of my favorite things.)
5. She’s wondering if she can climb or jump my seven-foot fence. (GPRA recommends that adopters carefully monitor their new Pyr’s outside time.)
6. She will probably be fine with other dogs and cats yet be timid and scared of noisy or super active kids until she settles in. She will thrive (slowly) with a quiet, patient, and experienced dog family.
7. She can lift the very tip of her tail into a possible, barely noticeable, nano-second wag. (With time, patience, and love, my tail will be wagging a lot more.)
Pyrly sweet and trying to be a brave girl, Blue Jean EmojiEmoji
