My Story

Hello potential adopters! My name is Elsa, and I’m an almost 8-year-old royal who is looking for my forever castle. I prefer to reign as the one and only queen of my home—no other dogs, no cats, just me soaking up all the love (as it should be!).

I may be a queen, but I’m a pretty easygoing one. My activity level is low, so I won’t demand constant entertainment—just a comfy throne (your couch will do), some belly rubs, and a nice walk. I’m excellent on a leash and love greeting my people, whether they’re visitors, neighbors, or even the vet and groomer (yes, I’m that charming).

Here’s a few tidbits about me:

  • I’m house-trained and can be left alone for up to 6 hours—no messes, no drama.

  • I don’t like fireworks or gunshots (seriously, who does?).

  • I know my manners—sit, off, down, come, stay, gentle (for treats)

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and independent queen to rule your heart, I just might be the perfect match. Apply to meet me—your future best friend! 👑🐾

My Story

Hi there, I’m Stanley! I’m a sweet and gentle guy who’s still warming up to the world around me. When I first arrived at GPRA, I was a bit shy and unsure, but once I trust you, I’ll show you just how loving I can be – I’ll give you lots of sweet kisses!

I’m a little nervous in new situations, especially around cars and loud noises, but I’m learning and improving every day. The volunteers say I walk nicely on a harness and am growing more confident with it each day. I really enjoy when they take me on peaceful strolls.

Once I know you, I’m very easy-going when it comes to getting attention. I like being petted and a gentle scratch under my chin is one of my favorites!

I’m looking for a family who will be patient and kind while I adjust and become more self-assured. If you’re looking for a quiet, sweet, and loving dog, I think we could be a perfect match! Apply to adopt me! I’d love to be your loyal companion!

How’s it hanging, dude? I’m Moose California, and I’m ready to live my best laid-back Cali life with the perfect family for me! I’m a young pyr boy, so I still have zoomies and get stoked about anything and everything. In my new home, I’d love a doggy friend to play with. I live with doggo siblings now, and together we’re as golden as the Golden State…that’s California’s nickname! California is famous for its near perfect weather, and I’m nearly perfect too! On a walk, I do sometimes bark at other dogs and can be a puller, but I’m a youthful pyr dude. With love and training, I know I can become a better leash walker in no time. While I like walking and living with another dog, what really makes me feel like I’m California dreamin’ is people! I adore my humans, and I show them how much I care by being super affectionate and cuddly. I may have breezed in from California, but now Georgia is on my mind because I’m here and searching for my forever home!

Hi-ya, Everybody! I’m Juniper, and my name means evergreen. That’s because I’m a youthful female who is ready to go to her forever home! Speaking of the evergreens, I’m learning how to potty outside, but as a smart young lady, I know I’ll pick it up quickly. There’s nothing more relaxing than watching the trees sway in the breeze, and my personality evokes the same feeling. My GPRA friends say I’m a calm and easy-going dog. Evergreen also can signify something that stays green and grows year round. One thing that is always true about me is how much I love people! I’m a friendly pyr who is happy to meet everybody, and my favorite activity is getting pets from my human friends. My amiable personality combined with my excellent leash skills will make me the new dog celebrity of the neighborhood. Consider taking me home today, and my love for you will be evergreen!

My Story

Hi, Everyone! I’m Salem, and my name can means “perfect.” I bet I’ll be the perfect addition to your home because I’m so loving and affectionate! Humans are my favorite, and I love getting pets from them. Sometimes, I even jump up a little out of excitement when I see people, but I’m easily redirected. Another dog to romp around with in a yard could be perfect too because I do seem really interested in playing with other dogs. But, I’m equally happy to play with toys, so being an only dog could also be perfect. Either way, as a young pyr boy with the energy to match, my perfect home would have a yard to get out all my zoomies! My name also means “complete,” and I feel most complete when I’m the center of attention! My GPRA friends noticed that I’ve already learned “up,” and you can see how in the second picture, I’m standing up like a seal. It’s my way of saying, “Look at me!” With my bouncing energy and affectionate nature, I’m the complete package. I’m even good in the car and good on the leash! Since I love my humans more than anything, I am great at listening to them. The only thing that could complete my happiness would be going home with you!

Hi, I’m Nova, and my name means “new” which makes sense because I’m brand new on the site! I’m a smart and loving young pyr girl! I’m already house-trained and good on the leash. When I get to a new place, I will pull a bit to smell all the new smells, but once I’m familiar with the path, I walk at a good pace. Humans have also always been a part of my life, and I have always loved them! I’m good with my foster humans and with meeting new people too. Foster Mama has noticed that my favorite way to spend the day is chilling inside with the family. It’s because I crave attention! I’m very sweet, so it’s easy to give me lots of love. Kids are super fun to be around as well, and I do sometimes jump up in my enthusiasm to see them. I can be trained not to do that, for sure. Female pyrs have been my companions since I can remember. I lived with one for a while, and I live with one in my foster home. The only creatures I’m not good with are small animals like cats, chickens, or small dogs. We just don’t vibe like I do with other big dogs and people, of course!  I’ve heard that a supernova is a super bright explosion of a star, and I promise that my love will shine as bright for you!

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!
