Greetings, Pyr Pals! I’m Ruth, and my name means compassionate friend. That’s because I’m a sweet and friendly girl who is ready to come home with you! I would say my BFFs, my best friends forever, are my humans. They are just so nice to cuddle with! My foster mama says I’m a velcro dog which means I want to be where you are. Sometimes, I get nervous when you’re not around, but I’m learning how to be okay by myself. Kids, which I know is people speak for little human, are some of my bestest friends too! I think my happy, go-lucky personality is what makes me such a good companion for kiddos. My other friends are small dogs, and cats are definitely more of acquaintances. I don’t mind them, but we don’t hang out. Friends have to be respectful, and I show my foster parents how respectful I am of their space by pottying outside. I’m completely house-trained, and I even know how to use the doggy door to get to the backyard. When you want to call me in for a walk, just say my name because I come when called! What’s the old saying about friends…All you have to do is call/And I’ll be there. On the leash, I do pull a bit, but I respond very well to direction. Friends are good listeners! I know friends do fun things together, and walking is one of my favorite activities. Maybe, you can walk on over to your computer and apply to adopt me today. Then, I give you all the love and companionship you could ever want! After all, what are friends for?

Hello, Dolly! That’s me, and I’m so happy to meet you. Do you know what makes me a doll? I’m housetrained! Hanging around in my dollhouse, I mean home, is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon because I love attention. Foster Mom says I am very loving and always looking to be cuddled by my family. I also love to get dolled up and take a stroll around the neighborhood because meeting new people is my favorite thing to do. Ear scratches and head rubs are the way to this doll’s heart!  Foster Mama says I’m great on the leash too, so I’ll never drag you around like a rag doll. While I haven’t had any other dogs over for a playdate yet, Foster Ma thinks I’ll get along great with them because I have such a gentle nature. As the expression goes, I’m a living doll which means I’m a super sweet pyr ready to come home with you!

Hi-ya! I’m Snowy Jax, and I’m snow glad to meet you! Whether we’re in a cold snap or warming up for spring, I’d love to go on a walk with you. I do walk well on the leash, but I get so excited that I jump up on people sometimes. I know with some positive reinforcement and lots of love, I can learn to not jump up. While I can be nervous at first around new people, once I get to know you, I’ll give you a blizzard’s worth of affection! Giving hugs is a part of my love language. Other dogs are interesting to me too because I’m still a young pyr with energy to play, but I prefer dogs my own size. Little dogs who yap make me want to stick my head in the snow. I’m a sweet boy who needs a loving and patient home. Contact GPRA, so we can break the ice and get to know each other!

Hi, there! I’m Molly Jones, and I can’t wait to meet you! Did you know my name means “Star of the sea”? Well, I’ve never seen the sea, but I’m definitely a star! My foster mama says my housemanners shine bright as any diamond in the sky because I’m housetrained. If I have to go potty, I pace by the door to let you know it’s time. In the backyard, I sometimes dig under the fence. But, I aim for the stars, so I know with a little positive reinforcement, I can learn not to do it. When you leave me at home, I wait patiently and am not destructive. You’ll have stars in your eyes when it comes to me because I do great with children, dogs, and cats. I do need to be slowly introduced to my doggy and kitty friends, but after some time, we get along like stars in a constellation! Due to my very loving nature, however, I am really good with new people. In fact, we can meet new friends, both human and fuzzy, on a neighborhood walk! I am strong on the leash, but I’m very trainable and promise to be your star pupil. One thing I’m already a superstar at, though, is riding in the car. I also earned my gold star in learning commands! I know “come,” “sit,” and “down.” I’m such a good pyr girl, so I just know my perfect family is out there. It’s written in the stars!

Hey there! I’m Bonnie-

After our previous owner passed away, Clyde and I ended up in a shelter. Now under the exceptional care of GPRA, everyone is falling in love with us. We are very sweet, dog-friendly, cat friendly, and not bonded. While our start to life has not been the best, we know that love and new adventures await us.

Hi! My name is Miller Hamilton. My foster mom says I am such a sweetheart. I voluntarily come back to the door to come in and hang with her. I may have been an outside only dog, but I totally love being indoors with people / other dogs. I “met” the neighbors’ dogs through the fence and I’m just friendly and happy. I am housebroken. I don’t honestly like to be in the crate. I might be just your new best friend! Please apply below to meet me in person!

Hellos. I am Diego, and who might you be?  I am one of the dogs that GPRA rescued from a  hoarding and neglect case in Virginia. Based on where I came from, you will understand that I am still frightened and uncertain of my surroundings.

GPRA’s walkers describe me as a charming and gentle boy. Every time I am out for a walk with these Pyr-fabulous volunteers, I will immediately stop and intently listen to any sounds of children playing in the distance. I’m thinking that I will surely love joining a family with children who will play with me. 🐾♥️🐾

You may also know that I am somewhat famous in the local community due to escaping from my kennel.  (I dis-a-pyred! Ok, I know it was not funny for the humans who were very worried about me, and I am sorry.)  Yep, I am Pyr smart and an escape artist – so I have been told. Thankfully, many dog-loving humans were involved in my safe return. (Thank you!)

Hi, I am Roscoe. I’m small, cute and gentle natured. I walk well on a leash and really like to be pet!

I went through a recent injury but I’ve been getting better every day since then. With time, patience, understanding, training from my humans, lots of TLC, good nutrition, and vet care, you will see me transform into a magnificent Great Pyrenees. The cool part is that you can join me on my journey. It is a rewarding and loving journey that we can do together.
Your Pyr-cool boy, Roscoe

Hello… I am the lovely, demure, and sweet Keiko. Living on my own for quite a while, I was a stray that was finally caught and taken in by GPRA. Since my ‘gotcha day,’ life has never been so good. My foster family feeds me, pets me, invites me on the couch, and helps bring out my Pyr confidence. Yesterday, I barked at the UPS guy, and my foster mom said, “good girl.”  Life is good, and I cannot wait to be with a family who will love me forever, give me a roof over my head and play with me in the backyard. 

Forever grateful to GPRA and my foster family, Keiko.
