My Story

Hi, I’m Lucy 💛

I’m currently in boarding and looking for a foster or forever family.

I’m a happy, friendly girl who just loves being around people—seriously, I’m a lobby favorite and soak up all the attention I can get! Everyone I meet becomes a new friend, and I’m always ready for pets (especially if I can give you my classic Pyr paw to ask for more 😉).

I enjoy getting out for walks and exploring—whether it’s a trail or a stroll down the driveway, I’m great on leash and love to sniff all the sights along the way. I might pull a little at times, but I’m still easy to handle and overall a great walking buddy. Nothing really phases me either—cars, noise, even a fast-moving Amazon truck didn’t bother me one bit!

I’ve got a gentle, easygoing nature and can settle nicely even in busy environments. I’ve been known to relax in the middle of a bustling lobby, happily laying by and enjoying all the love coming my way.

I’m also incredibly sweet and patient—I didn’t mind at all when they worked on getting those pesky ear mats out. I just leaned in for the attention!

If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate, and well-rounded companion, I could be your girl. I’d make a wonderful family dog and would be especially great with kids.

I’m ready for my next chapter—could that be with you?🐾💛

My Story

Hi there! I’m Mr. Pickles… although these days my foster mom and dad call me Pippin.🐾

And honestly? I think it fits me.

When I first arrived, I was still figuring things out and learning that life could be safe and full of good things. But now that I’m settled into my foster home, my foster family says I’ve really come into my own. I respond right away to Pippin now, and they swear I walk a little taller and carry myself with a little more pride these days.

If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m sweet, smart, loving, curious, friendly, funny (but not goofy 😉), and eager to learn.

I’m a guy who likes balance in life. My mornings usually start with adventure mode — walks, zoomies, training sessions, exploring, and meeting new friends. Then I transition into professional napper status until it’s time for afternoon activities and evening fun.

I LOVE people and I absolutely love making friends. Neighborhood walks? One of my favorite things. Meeting other dogs? Excellent. Saying hello to new people? Sign me up. I’ve been practicing polite greetings and my foster family says my social skills get better every day.

I also really enjoy friendly dog friends and playdates. I’m curious about cats too — respectful and interested without being overwhelming.

Training has become one of my favorite things because I’m discovering that learning is fun (especially if treats are involved). I already know sit, down, come, and place, and I’m fully kennel trained now too. I walk nicely on leash, and while I can get excited sometimes, I’m becoming such a good walking buddy.

I’m affectionate and LOVE attention — belly rubs are definitely one of my specialties. I’m happiest when people let me say hello first, sniff a hand, and then lean in for pets. Once I know you, get ready… because I’m all in.

Some of my other favorite things include:
🐾 Sprinting through sprinklers
🐾 Hunting chipmunks and squirrels
🐾 Snuffle mats and enrichment games
🐾 Being told I’m a very good boy (because… I am)

My foster family says my sweet face and loving eyes make them smile every day because I genuinely love life. I’m excited for walks, excited for friends, excited for snacks… and most of all, excited to find my forever family.

Could that be you?

Love,
Mr. Pickles (aka Pippin) 💙

My Story

Hi, I’m Bo Peep! I may not herd sheep, but I sure know how to keep an eye on my people. I’m a smart, affectionate, and loyal Pyr who loves nothing more than being close to the person I trust. My foster momma says I make her smile every day with the way I prance on walks, greet her with joyful leaps, or place my head gently in her lap for love.

I’ve got all the classic Pyr traits—guardian instincts, a big heart, and a little goofy side too—but here’s the best part: I actually listen to commands! I know sit, stay, come, and up, and I’m wonderful on leash. Walks are my favorite, and I trot happily along, keeping a close watch for squirrels or birds. I’m house-trained and polite indoors – I don’t chew or get into trouble when you’re away.

I also share my home with a kitty friend, Maxine. At first, I thought pouncing might be fun, but Maxine quickly taught me that wasn’t the way to win her over. Now we’re good buddies—she teases me sometimes, and I absolutely love it.

When it’s time to relax, I enjoy napping inside or stretching out on the deck when it’s cool. I also love to gather all the toys from the basket, scatter them around me, play for a bit, and then fall asleep surrounded by them—it’s my own little treasure pile.

I’m not much of a counter-surfer (though one time I did almost snag a steak when no one was looking—oops!). Mostly, I’m content with my elk antlers, bones, and plenty of treats.

If you’re looking for a beautiful, affectionate Pyr with brains, heart, and a dash of silliness, I think we’d be perfect together. Could I be your girl?

My Story

Hi, I’m Cotton! I’m a sweet, affectionate girl on the lookout for my forever home. I love spending time with humans and get excited for all the attention I can get! I’m very interactive and love making eye contact—there’s nothing better than being petted and receiving love.

Though I’ve mostly lived outside, I’m starting to appreciate the comforts of indoor life—warmth, coziness, and lots of love. I’m playful, easygoing, and always ready for fun. I’m used to guarding at night, but I’m adjusting and starting to sleep more peacefully in the evenings.

I spent a short time in a foster home and really enjoyed cuddling with my foster parents. Now that I’m back at the boarding facility, I’m getting better every day. I’m no longer as afraid as I was in the beginning, and the volunteers are so kind and patient with me. I really enjoy their company and love hanging out with them.

I’m confident and affectionate, both in the play yard and on the trails. Although, the deer on the walking trails are a bit annoying. LOL!

I’m mindful of my surroundings and can be a little wary when exploring new things, so I do need some time to warm up. After my walks, I’m eager to come back to the lobby, but I can be a bit reluctant to return to my kennel—who wants to go back when there’s so much to explore and more pets to enjoy?

I’m housetrained and do well with a consistent schedule. While I can be vocal when I see other dogs or feel protective of my space, I’m just being cautious and looking out for my own. I’ve never met a cat, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about one, but I’m open to it. When it comes to food, I’m not possessive at all. I know the “Sit” command and love to please!

If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loving companion who loves attention, I could be your perfect match!

My Story

Hello, my name is Apollo, and I’m a Great Pyrenees in search of a forever family who will love me for who I am. I’m a big, fluffy boy, and I’m still figuring out what the world has in store for me—especially since I came into rescue from an animal shelter. Life has been a little confusing at times, but I’m starting to feel more at home with each passing day.

Right now, I’m staying at the boarding clinic while I wait for that special family to find me. I’m a bit underweight at the moment (those shelter meals weren’t the best), so I’m working on gaining some pounds to get back to my full strength. Don’t worry—I’m eating well and getting the nutrition I need!

When it comes to other dogs, I’m pretty curious but not overly interested. I’ve walked by some of my fellow canines at the kennel and I’m always intrigued, though I’m not in a rush to make new friends just yet. I’m more focused on figuring out my own place in the world, but I’m friendly enough and open to getting to know others. I haven’t had any issues with loud noises or traffic, which is a relief. It seems like I’m adjusting well to life outside of the shelter.

I’m a little shy when I first meet new people, but don’t let that fool you! Once I warm up, I’m all about affection. The clinic staff has been so sweet to me, and after my intake exam (which was a bit scary for me), I just wanted to be loved on by everyone. I’m learning that not all humans are scary, and I’m starting to trust again.

I’m also learning some important stuff like my name and the “sit” command! I’m a good listener, and I’m eager to please, so with a little guidance, I’ll be an obedient boy in no time. I do have some leash manners to work on—I can be a bit strong and pull when I’m walking, but we’re practicing, and I’m getting better at it.

When it comes to my living situation, I’ve been a good boy in my kennel—I haven’t had any accidents, and I’m always waiting patiently for my meals. I’m not food aggressive, so you don’t have to worry about me being protective over my food. I’m just happy to have a meal and some love. And when it comes to being touched, I’m a big fan of pets and cuddles! I’m not shy about getting some affection, though I’ll need a little time to adjust to new situations and new people.

Oh, and I do have a bit to say sometimes! I’m not much of a barker, but I definitely talk when I see my humans leaving or coming back from the kennel. I just want to make sure you know I’m here and ready for attention. I’m a sweet boy at heart, and I just want to be part of a family who’ll take care of me and love me for the big, goofy, affectionate boy that I am.

I know it might take some time to find my perfect home, but I promise I’ll be worth the wait. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who just needs a little patience and a lot of TLC, I might be the one for you.

So, if you think I might be a good fit for your family, please come meet me! I can’t wait to start the next chapter of my life with you.

Jelly Belly, here! And, really, is there anything better than jelly beans? Just like jelly beans, I’m very sweet! Jelly beans also come in many different flavors. I like variety in life too, so I’m friendly with both cats and dogs! Additionally, jelly beans are pretty well-behaved because they always stay in their jar and don’t cause problems. I’m a good pyr girl as well because I’m house-trained. Please consider taking me home, and I’ll fill your home with sweetness and joy just like a jar of jelly beans!

Buongiorno, my name is Aldo! I’m not Italian, but my name sure sounds like I am. I’m as sweet as a cannoli, and my coat is fluffy white like the filling too. Right now, I’m still a little shy because I came from a farm. I’m so ready to live la dolce vita, or the good life in Italian. In Italy, people love walking by all the palazzos, or pretty buildings. I want to learn how to walk on the leash, so we can see our own neighborhood palazzos, or houses. My GPRA walker friends say I’m getting better on the leash every day, and they always say, “Grazie Mille,” or thank you very much, because I look to them for cues on what to do. I take direction very well! And, when we’re home, we can snuggle on the couch while the pasta is boiling. Maybe, we’ll make baked ziti or lasagna! Either way, I’ll be happy just being with you. GPRA volunteers have also boasted that I’m a dog lover’s dream! Will you take me home and help me learn what living in a villa, or a house, is all about? I promise I’ll be the best good boy this side of the Mediterranean Sea!

Hi, Pyr Pals! I’m Asher! I’m a sweet boy who was just rescued. I want lots of love! All during my freedom ride, I insisted on having ear and head rubs. I LOVE ear rubs! I’m also adept at what you all call Pyr Paw. It’s my version of a high-five that means: more attention, please! All I need is the right person to take me home, and I’ll mesmerize you with my beautiful eyes. They’re like looking into two amber pools of light. I’m also very calm and patient, and I take treats gently too. The GPRA volunteers said I was also a good boy as they brushed me. My warm-hearted personality is reflected in my leash-walking too. My GPRA walker friends say I’m very good on the leash. I enjoy roaming around the play yard as well, so I know a backyard will be fun for me. If you’re looking for a kind, handsome boy, then I’m the one for you!

Hello. My name is Snowball Solaris.

GPRA has welcomed me back because I’m best with humans and large dogs only. I also don’t guard chickens. I’m too busy spending my time pleasing the humans who say I am the PYRfect dog in many other ways.
