The best things in life are sweet like me, Cookie! My foster mama says I’m such a loving girl, and I simply want to be by your side. I’ll stick to you like icing on a cookie! If you work from home, I’ll enjoy lounging on a soft dog bed while you type away at the computer. I’m okay when you leave home too as long as I have another doggy buddy or lots of chew bone toys. Just like it’s hard to choose a favorite cookie, I don’t know what I like better: bellyrubs, playing in the yard, or going on walks. Foster Mom tells me I’m already housetrained because being in the backyard is the milk to my Cookie! I’ll even bark at the door to let you know it’s time to go out. My foster dog brother and I have a fun time romping around together in the grass as well. My foster family has also noted what a curious nature I have. The wide world is as colorful and exciting to me as all those shiny cookie sprinkles! When we go on a walk, I’m interested in everyone and every dog I meet. At first, I can be a little shy, but encouraged by my human, I warm up quicker than a freshly baked cookie! With a sugar sweet personality and soft, fluffy coat, who wouldn’t want to adopt this Cookie? Think about bringing me home today!

Pleased to meet you pyr people! I’m Peter, and I’m paw-sitively pumped to go to my pyr-fect home! I’m a young male pyr, so I’m still learning how to walk on the leash. When I see other dogs on our walks, I get so excited and pull. Because I look to my humans for direction, though, I know I’ll be prancing perfectly in no time! Everyone’s prepping for summer, so if we need to run some errands, you can take me along. I am learning how to ride in a car too, but I can get a little carsick and have to lifted into the car. One skill I’ve pretty much mastered, however, is going potty outside. In other words, I’m house-trained! Summertime fun is something I already know really well too! I am perky pup with lots of puppy energy, so I am ready for zoomies in backyard with my foster doggy sibling any time. I’m really personable with kids too because of my very sweet and affectionate personality. Plus, kids love to give hugs and cuddles, and I’m all for it! Belly-rubs and ear-rubs are a pleasant way to spend a summer afternoon too. While I am my plucky self around my foster family, I do take a little time to warm up to new people, and I can get a little head-shy. I have a curious and loving nature, though, so I warm up quickly. While I’ve been told I have a pearly-white smile, I do need to gain some weight. Good thing I like liver treats! Chewing on things in general is fun, but I am learning to only chew on my toys. I know the word “no,” so I just need some practice. When my foster family leaves me home alone, though, I do really well in the crate. For me, puppy paradise is being with the people I love. Won’t you take me home and make this peace-loving pyr a part of your family?

Hey, y’all! I’m Summer Duckie, and I’m here to let the sunshine in with my warm and loving personality! Foster Mama says I’m very sweet and polite, so I make friends easily with humans and dogs. I’m especially like a ray of sunshine with children because I brighten their day with lots of pyr smiles and cuddles. Just like those tiny humans, I have a lot of energy! I really need to go to a home with another dog who can be my playmate and companion. With me at home, every day will be our day in the sun because I’m housetrained! I let you know when I need to go potty, and the only thing I chew on are my chew toys. While I don’t know every command under the sun, I do know the really important ones: sit, stay, and come. I’m also good on the leash, so let’s go on a walk and soak up some sun! If you want to go for Sunday drive, I ride well in the car too. My sunny disposition and my fun-loving pyr-sonality will have you waking up every day saying, “Good morning, Sunshine!”

Hi, Everyone! The name’s Blizzard, and I’m swirling into GPRA just in time for colder weather! The chilly air makes me want to stay inside and eat lots of good food. I love to eat, so I am definitely food-motivated when it comes to learning commands. One thing I’ve already learned is hugging! I like to stand up like a big polar bear and put my arms on you to say, “I love you!” But, Foster Mama says because I’m so trainable, it will be easy to teach me the command: down. My foster parents also say I’m good on the leash. Cool, autumn winds are my favorite, so let’s go for a walk together! Maybe, you want to go get a pumpkin spice latte. Works for me because I’m a great car rider. Or, we can cuddle up inside, and I’ll sit right by you to give you extra warmth. My happy place is cozying up next to my foster family getting all the pets! I’ve got as much floof as a Yeti, so you can snuggle your hands into my fur instead of mittens. I’m soft and fluffy on the inside too! Foster Mommy says I’m a sweet, gentle, and laid-back boy. What more could you want? If you’re looking for a true pyr to watch the leaves change color with, I’m right here and ready to come home!

Hi, everyone! I’m Magnolia Joy. I do have the most glorious, soft white fur like the petals of my namesake: the magnolia flower. My foster mama says I’m beautiful on the inside and out. Sometimes, I’m a little scared when I first meet you, but I warm up quickly. Then, my puppy energy and love just blossoms! I even like those little flower buds called kids. We have fun playing together! I have a lot of affection and liveliness for my fellow doggies too. I’m used to being around other dogs, so I get along very well with them. One part of doggo life I’m still learning is how to walk more elegantly on the leash. My foster mom says I’m a pretty good walker, but, sometimes, I can be strong on the leash. I have an inner strength too, though, so I know as my confidence continues to bloom, I’ll become the best walker this side of the Mississippi! If you’re looking for an absolute love bug to join your family, look no further because I’m ready to come home with you.

Hellos! I am Balto. By now, you know I was impounded due to neglect. Yes, my early years were very hard. Thankfully, GPRA came to my rescue.

If the name Balto is not familiar, let me share the story. Balto was the lead dog of a heroic dog sled team that ran through harsh winter conditions and delivered desperately needed medicine during the 1925 diphtheria epidemic in Alaska. (So, yes, Balto is my hero.)

My wonderful foster mom shared lots of information about me with GPRA. Here are a few things.
“Balto is sweet and has beautiful blue eyes.” (Thank you. Everyone always comments on my baby blues.)

” Balto is energetic, very friendly, affectionate, athletic, and submissive.” (Yes, I am a wonderful boy!)

“Balto walks well on a leash. He does not pull and is friendly towards other walkers. He can get a bit excited when meeting other dogs.” (Yes, I know; but, I’m just so excited to be living a whole new life. With your help and training, it will only take me a short time to improve on my manners.)

“Balto loves kids but may overpower younger kids.” (Yep, I get a bit excited when I see my favorite younger humans. With consistency, patience, and training, my manners will improve, and I will learn to be more careful.)

“Balto is a velcro dog. He loves to be near you all the time.” (I am grateful to be with loving humans.)

“Balto is not afraid of anything.” (I’m trying to live up to my namesake’s heroic story.)

Pyrly-destined to be your hero, Balto

I am the sweet and lovely Galaxy.  My dainty and ladylike demeanor charms everyone. After saying goodbye to my puppies and their daddy, adjusting to life on my own has been stressful, and I do not like being alone very long. It will help me if my human is home with me. Having another fur-sibling may also help.
Everyone, including GPRA’s trainer, says that I am an incredibly kind and loving girl. All I need is someone to build up my Pyr confidence and give me as much love and affection as possible.  A very secure fenced-in backyard will provide me with essential exercise. Still, while I am there, I will need close supervision as I may try to escape.  With time, I am sure that my backyard will be the only home for me.
Other Pyrs have told me all about the puppuccinos at Starbucks. Yes, I know dogs should not have sugar, but I hope my new family might consider treating me every once in a while during our car rides together. Trust me, you are getting a total sweetheart in me. All I need is careful supervision, lots of love, and reassurance that everything will be just fine.
Affectionately yours, Galaxy

Hello, my name is Bella T.  I am around 5 years old and a little on the smaller side at 74 lbs.  I am a shy girl at first when you meet me however, once I warm up to you, we will be best of friends.  I have been in a home but I was not socially accepted into the family so I spent a lot of time on my own.  This new group I joined is helping me build my confidence and teaching me how to make new friends.  I know in a very short time, I will be the best PYR thanks to my great foster family.  I already have good house manners and I am pretty laid back too.  If you are interested in finding out more about me, contact GPRA today at info@greatpyratlanta.com.
