Many greetings to my pyr friends! I’m Mouse, and it’s marvelous to meet you! While most mice are miniature, I’m a big pyr boy who needs to gain a bit of weight. You’ve heard of a mouse in a house, and I live in a house too! I’m still learning how to potty outside, but my foster mama and I are making progress. One skill I’ve already mastered is walking on the leash. I’m a modest mouse when I meet people because I’m a little shy, but I warm up quickly. When I’m in my backyard, however, I have a lot more confidence and seem to want to play and make friends with the neighbor’s dogs. I’ll definitely need a yard because, to me, having some outdoor time makes the day magnificent! Everyone knows the game of cat and mouse, but this Mouse is very respectful of his foster cat siblings. Sometimes, I want to play with my mini kitty friends, but I listen when they give me a few swats to say, “No, Sir!” My foster family can tell you that I’m very magnanimous. At first, I’m very timid, but once I get to know you, I’m a very affectionate doggy! To me, the most magical part of the day is getting lots of pets from my foster parents. I haven’t had much exposure to those mini-sized creatures called kiddos, but they can be a little scary when they’re all together being loud and playful. My foster mama says I’m a mighty gentle soul, though, so I think with slow introductions, I could get used to them in time. I know the story of a mouse wanting a cookie, but all I really want is a family who will love me and help me settle into their lives.

My Story

Do you know why I’m called Charlie Fry? If I see a French fry, I want to eat it! I’ve also got the golden-ish hue of a French fry as well. You’ll see in my last picture that when all my glorious floof has grown in, I shine like a golden-tinged pyr! French fries are soft on the inside just like me. Foster Mama says I’m the most sweet and loving boy! Sometimes, French fries get stuck together, and I’m kind of like that with my humans. I stick close because I want to be wherever you are, so I’d definitely like a home where my humans are around more often than not. Listening to my people is one of my love languages. I’ve learned: yes, sit, down, heel, and leave it. When you bite into a French fry, there’s a crunch from the crispy skin, and that’s okay with me. Loud noises, however, get me a little worked up, so I’d prefer a calm and quiet home. Speaking of chewing on things, my favorite type of toy is a stuffed, soft toy, and I’ll carry it around the house. French fries are just one of those things that are loved by everybody, and I am like that too. I think one of the reasons that my humans love me so much is because I’m house-trained; I even know how to use a doggy door. Foster Mom also says I walk at a really nice, relaxed pace, so I’m excellent on the leash. French fries come in all shapes and sizes, but they have one thing in common: they’re made from potatoes. Foster Mama tells me I love being a couch potato, but in the yard, I can be playful too. If you need to make your McDonald’s run, I can tag along too because I’m also good in the car. French fries don’t mind being huddled together, and I am sort of like that. I like being around female dogs who are my size or a bit bigger, but for male dogs, it depends on how well we get along. At home, with my foster pyr sister, I have a lot of fun playing with her or napping with her. I’d be okay as a single fry, or an only dog, too, though. French fries make people happy, and I know that I’ll make you happy too!

My Story

Hi there! I’m Oberon, but my friends call me Obie. I’m a charming and playful pup on the lookout for my forever family, and I’d love to share a bit about myself from my perspective!

I’m a confident, outgoing boy with a heart full of love and a playful spirit. Whether I’m playing fetch in the backyard, engaging in silly antics, or curling up beside you for a nap, I’m all about fun and companionship. My foster family says I’m incredibly smart—I learn new commands quickly and love to show off my skills. I know how to sit, stay, give kisses, and even touch my nose to your hand. Training is one of my favorite activities!

When it comes to food, I’m a true foodie! I’m motivated by treats of all kinds, from cheese and chicken to blueberries and carrots. Mealtime is an event, and I enjoy a little routine before diving into my bowl. Don’t worry, I’m not protective of my food; I happily share the space with my foster siblings during mealtime.

I love playing with toys, especially squeaky ones, and I have a knack for fetch! I’ll bring the ball back and drop it at your feet, ready for another round. My energy level is quite high, but I also know how to relax and enjoy some downtime, whether it’s lounging on my favorite dog bed or napping in front of a fan.

When I’m out and about, I’m curious about the world around me. My reaction to other dogs varies; sometimes I bark, but I’m learning that’s not always the best response. I’ve gotten better at just sitting quietly or looking at my humans for guidance when I see another dog. If I glance at them, my foster family encourages me with treats, and we’ve been working on staying calm during our walks. The more we practice, the better I get! At adoption events, I’ve even learned to ignore some dogs as we pass by, which makes me feel really proud.

At home, I’m very social and love being around my humans and furry siblings. I’m house-trained and communicate when I need to go outside, often sitting by the door. I also enjoy being brushed and love the attention from my humans. I follow my foster family around the house like a little shadow, sitting at their feet while they cook or do laundry. I just love being near them!

One of my cutest quirks? I absolutely adore water! Whether it’s chasing the hose in the yard or enjoying a bath, I can’t get enough of it. And the towel-down after a shower? Pure bliss!

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and a playful spirit, I’d be thrilled to meet you! Together, we can create wonderful memories.

Louie Linus, here! With a name like mine, “L” has got to be my favorite letter! Funny enough, my foster mama says I’m laid back. I like to lumber about the yard and lean my head down to sniff at things. I’m gentle like a lullaby too. I can’t sing you to sleep, but I will stay by your side. Foster Mom noticed I like to follow my foster family around the house like a lamb after his shepherd. I’m also quiet like a little leaf falling from a tree. As long as you’re lavishing attention on me in the form of chin scratches, I’m content. When we’re not lazing in the living room, I do love to stretch my legs and go on a walk. I’m a likable lad who can’t wait to get ladles of love and extra helpings of snuggles from my new family!

Hi, I’m Lulu. I’m happy to make your acquaintance. In some languages, my name means pearl, and I am kind of like a pearl in that I take a lot of time to show my shine and personality because I’m very shy. Just as a pearl forms in the stillness of the sea, I like a quiet home. Unexpected noises tend to startle me. My name also means peaceful and calm, and that’s my motto for life. I like tranquil walks on the leash, and I walk steadily too; however, if a person or another animal passes by, I get very scared and will want to go back home. I’m learning, though. I used to be frightened by cars passing by, but since my foster mama walks me daily, I have gotten used to vehicles. I need time and practice to get desensitized to the outside world. When new people come to my home, I take a few days to get used to them as well. Lulu can be slang for impressive too. My outstanding qualities are that I am housetrained and potty-trained. When I need to go outside, I nudge my nose against the doorknob to let you know it’s time. And, I don’t mind being bathed or brushed, so you can always count on me looking my best! Lulu also means precious, and my foster family would agree that I am just that! My foster mom’s favorite thing about me is how much I love structure and routines. Every day, I like to curl up in my dad’s office, and every night, I love to sleep in my special dog bed as Mom and Dad watch TV. Earning my love and trust will be a process, and my personality is still coming out little by little as my foster family continues this journey with me. I’m a sweet girl who needs a lot of love and a family who is dedicated to helping me slowly but surely work through my fears. Foster Mom says I deserve the pyr-fect family; could it be you?

Hellos. I am Nellie. Although timid, GPRA is helping me return to Great Pyrenees status. Unfortunately, since I am pretty scared of men, GPRA thinks I was abused or hurt at some point in my past life. Yes, I know it’s sad, but I’m doing my best to start the next chapter. Lucky for me, GPRA’s trainer is working with me and building my confidence and trust. Those yummy treats and lots of patience will help me open my Pyr heart again.
Here are a few things that GPRA’s volunteers know about me.
“Nellie is a sweet and curly angel. Her confidence grows each day!”
“Nellie is a little shy at first but warms up when she gets to know you. She is a curly-haired beauty and super sweet!”
“She is making great strides and even let me clean out her ears.”
“Nellie had the best time romping around the play yard with Festus. Both dogs enjoyed running back and forth together along the fence. (Yep, having a play buddy is fantastic and gives me a sense of security, too!)
So, that’s a bit of me. As my Pyr-confidence and happiness increase, I will keep you updated on my progress.
Pyrly yours, Nellie

Do I look familiar? I mean other than resembling all Pyrs in general? My first GPRA name was Noelle and I’m back now because my elderly mom wants me to have a home more suited to this 4-year-old, 76 lb girl. I’m housetrained and good with adults and children, and like hanging out with my fosters on the couch. Other dogs are fine, I play with them now and then, but I bet I’d like being an only dog, too. Oh, and apparently, I’m very laid back at home and on the leash, that is until the UPS truck shows up. That big brown thing gets every bark in me!  You can leave me home alone, but you should know open doors and fence gates are very appealing. Once loose, I’m much more likely to come when a woman calls me than a man. My best new owner will be dog-smart and very patient. Do you believe in me as much as I believe in you?
