Howdy, Pyr Pals! I’m River Roo, and it’s rootin’ tootin’ good to meet you! Foster Mama says I’m as sweet as the chocolate river in Willy Wonka because of my happy and loving personality. I go with the flow! And, when I have to go, I let you know. That’s another reason why Foster Mom thinks I’m so special; I’m potty-trained! When it comes to other dogs, I’m as easy-going as a lazy river. My foster dog sibling is my best friend, so I’d really love to go to a home with another dog! We like to play together in the backyard. I love people too. The gentle rushing of a river is so comforting, and my snuggles are just as soothing. Leaning against my foster family for love and pets is something I’m very good at. On our family walks, I do tend to zig-zag a little just like most rivers, but we are working on it together. I know I’ll get better at walking on a leash because walking is one of my favorite activities! The other dogs have been telling me that digging is bad too, so I’m learning not to do that. While regular rivers don’t need to eat, I love my food. Because I’m food-motivated, being trained with treats will come naturally to me. There’s one skill I’ve already mastered: fetching- which makes me really unique for a pyr. Rivers can flow in any direction, but this River is running towards you!

Hail to you, my pyr-loving countrymen and women! I’m Auggie, and did you know my name comes from Ancient Rome? My foster mom says I’ve got quite an august presence, so it makes sense. Not only am I big and tall, I’m one of the sweetest pyrs this side of the Colosseum! I know gladiators would battle each other in the arena, but I’m a lover, not a fighter. In fact, whenever I see or am near other dogs, I can’t stop whining because I’m just so excited to be with them! Going to a home with another doggy companion would be like living in Olympus, that’s Ancient Roman for heaven. While I’m good with my canine brethren, I adore my humans! At our villa, or home, I’ll love to be snuggled and given lots of pets, and I’ll even take treats very gently from your hand. When my GPRA transporter picked me up in her chariot, or car, I just wanted to keep nuzzling her! Car rides are still a little scary for me, but I know I can get used to it. One thing I’m already used to is pottying outside. Foster Mama says I haven’t had any accidents in the house, and I like to do my business on the leash. They say all roads lead to Rome, but the only road I want to take is the one that leads to you!

I’m so excited to meet you, I can hardly bear it! It’s me, Bear Sawyer! I’m a sweet, baby bear who is a little shy, but I know I’ll warm up given time and lots of love. I warmed up to my GPRA friends pretty quickly! Real bears have a high IQ and are one of the most intelligent mammals. I’ve got a bear-like intelligence too because I know the commands: sit, stay, come, off, and down. I’m still a cub, though. Cub means puppy in bear language! Like all of us young pyrs, I need leash-training and potty-training. I still dig, chew, and am protective of home too. Positive reinforcement and slow introductions will help me grow into the pyr-fect adult! One thing I’m already good  at, though, is riding in the car. While some bears hibernate in the winter, this Bear is ready for a chilly car ride! I’m a happy, loving, and playful pyr pup who can’t wait to settle in for a long, cozy winter with you!

Rise and shine, my lovely pyr people! It’s Sampson, here, and did you know my name means sun? My foster mama says that my personality shines a little brighter each day as I learn how to be loved by my humans. At first, I was like a little ray of sunshine peeping out from the clouds because while I was curious about people, I was still a little shy of them. I’m a bit cautious even now of new people, but my foster family has earned my trust. They’ve given me lots of fun chew toys! Basically, my human family is the moon to my sun. I’m really in sync with them because I’ve learned that they are safe and love me very much. In my new home, I’d love for my humans to be home a lot, so we can bond and I can feel loved and protected. My favorite time to cuddle my humans is when the sun has set; I’m an evening snuggle bunny! When Foster Mama says, “Good Morning, Sunshine” and we go for a walk, I look to her for direction. Foster Mom says I’m still learning how to walk on a leash, but I do pretty good. I’m very curious about dogs and cats, and I try to play with them when I see them on our neighborhood walks. Walking is of the best-est activities under the sun! I’m a good car rider too, so we can put the top down and sunbathe a bit. Inside the home, I have a sunny disposition too. I like to nap near my people, and my foster family is so proud of the fact that I’m house-trained! Pottying outside in a sunny backyard just seems like the natural thing to do. I’m getting used to things like being brushed too. One funny thing about me is that I love treats and my food, but I don’t like to be watched while I eat. I just don’t like the spotlight, or sunlight, on me while I’m snacking. Please, take me home! I’ll be your sunshine in the rain and give you all the love I have in my big, pyr heart!

Hi folks!
We are Bilo and Bilu – the sweeter than honey bonded pair just waiting to meet you and stick to your heart.
Our owner had to surrender us because they weren’t able to care for us any longer. That makes us sad, because we love our humans and have so much love to give.
Since we just arrived, the GPRA folks are still getting to know us, but here are some things the fabulous volunteers have to say about us:
“precious pair”
“love to get loved on”
“beautiful and sweet”
Yes, we are blushing underneath our floof. What can we say? Come and meet us. We know we will add the love your home needs (x2!).

Bonded Pairs are adopt one and get the second one for half the adoption fee!

Well, I don’t have much to say about myself but fortunately the little bit I’ve overheard is all good. I’m 1-year-old and weigh 72 lbs, which means, given my height and size, this boy has room for about 20 more pounds worth of treats and healthy food! The shelter people say I am and let me quote them, so I get it right, “incredibly friendly, goofy, and happy”. To hear them tell it, I also have great leash manners. I’ll take the compliment even though I don’t know what a leash is. However, I know I like playing with other dogs, any size, boys and girls. Cats are fun, too.  Do you have other dogs? Or a cat? Or treats? These are all good reasons to please email info@greatpyratlanta.com, click “Contact Us”, or choose “Apply to Adopt” below.

Isn’t Ellie the cutest name for 3-year-old, 72 lb. me who adores people and likes to flirt with men? I’m originally a Cleveland, GA farm dog and open to living anywhere with people, dogs, and kids who will love and play with me. I’ve heard of cats, maybe I’ll like them—when I finally meet one. I walk pretty well on a leash and love car rides! Although, I’d probably like them more if the human would let me drive. Yeah, I’m small, but I can see over the steering wheel just fine. Now, the crate is a different issue. NOT my thing at all. Now treats are good, much better than being confined.
