Salutations, my pyr people! I’m Yoda Bear, but Foster Mama calls me Bear for short. She says I’m soft and cuddly as a teddy bear because I love being snuggled by my humans. Giving hugs and nudging your hand for more pets are my specialties! While wild bears don’t keep their dens particularly clean, Foster Mom tells me that I’m an excellent house guest. She says I never chew or slobber, and I only bark at delivery people. I’m just telling my foster mom that her packages are here. Also, I always ask to go potty outside, so I’m very housetrained! And, when new people come over, I’m as friendly and charming as fellow bear, Winnie-the-Pooh. I live up to my other namesake too! I’ve been told Yoda was a warrior both strong in body and mind. I am strong on the leash, but Foster Mom is working on it with me. She is impressed by my intelligence because I quickly learn what I should or shouldn’t do, so I’ll be able to walk without pulling in no time! Yoda was also friends with all different kinds of people, and I like to hang out with other dogs AND cats. While Yoda can jump far distances to get to a new place, I have to ride in a car, but, good news, I am a great car rider. I’m not in a galaxy far, far away; I’m right here, and I’m a sweet, easy-going dog who is ready to come home with you!

Hi-ya! I’m Bonnie Lynn, and it’s good to meet you! Did you know that bon means good in French? Foster Mama says that describes me perfectly because I’m good at so many things! I’m good with other dogs. They’re fun to be around and play with, and I like to learn from my foster doggy sibling too. Also, I’m good with new people. When I meet new humans, I’m happy and count them as my friends. Foster Ma says I’m good in the car too; it’s a nice place to take a nap! While I have the good-est nature in the world, there are a few doggy duties I’m still learning like how to walk a leash. The leash is new to me, so I do pull; however, Foster Mom thinks with time, love, and patience, I’ll learn how to walk on the leash soon enough. Sometimes, I jump up on my new friends out of excitement, but I’m learning not to do that too. One area where I excel is backyard time! The backyard is a really good place to be. My foster family thinks I’ll definitely need a backyard for playtime and zoomies! I’m doing a good job of pottying outside in the backyard as well. Bonnie also means beautiful and cheerful, and my foster mom would agree. She describes me as joyful and sweet. Being home with my foster family, both human and fuzzy, just makes me so happy. Check out all my smiley pics! I show my Foster Mom how much I love her by following her around the house to say, “Cuddle me, please!” I’m a young pyr lady looking for the pyr-fect home for me where I’ll be given lots of love and time to learn.

Hi, I am Vivian. My story is one of motherhood, compassion, and survival. My backstory is that I lived with my puppies’ daddy and eight puppies (one died) under a shed near a church. The church community took care of me for two years and gave me a kids swimming pool when my pups were born. Ten days after my puppies were born, I was hit by a car and ran away, returning to check on my puppies a few hours later. (I tried to be a good Momma dog to all of my puppies.) Compassionate humans stepped in to help, and within a short time, my pups and I were transported into GPRA’s exceptional care. (It was nothing short of a miracle that someone contacted GPRA, and the Rescue immediately responded.)
Several months later, all of my puppies are adopted. Now, it is my turn to find my forever home. I am with a fabulous foster mom and foster Pyr-brother. My foster mom says that I am a “total sweetheart” and will do best with a canine companion and a human who works from home. My foster mom also tells me that I am beautiful! (Aww… thank you.) I have been a polite house guest, am house-trained, and sleep through the night on the dog sofa downstairs. (I’m terrified of crates, so none of those, please.) But, ultimately, I need a family who is home more than not. Will you be my home companion?
Pyrly loving, Vivian

Hello, I am Butterball and PYR-tastic! How are you today? Some say I look like a butterball when my fur is all fluffy.
My foster mom describes me as loving, happy, and a people pleaser. She also told GPRA that I am energetic but not overly so and very happy when I am near my humans. Leash manners are my work in progress, but I am learning. So, I hope you are getting ready for a walking companion because exercise is excellent for canines and humans. I overheard GPRA volunteers say that I am as sweet as pie, full of happiness and affection. In fact, I love humans so much that I will lick your hand in appreciation for love and cuddles. If you give me treats, you will become my number #1!
In the beginning, GPRA recommends that I am the only dog in the family. Looking forward to a PYR-tastic future, Butterball.

Hellos, everyone! I am the beautiful love bug, Snow White Aurora. While I am still a young girl doing my absolute best to become my best Pyr self, I do not have a lot to share quite yet. However, here are a few things that GPRA’s trainer said about me.
“Snow is super friendly and an astonishingly affectionate dog.” (Yes, I cannot get nor give enough love!)
“Snow loves head scratches and lots of pets. She loves affection so much that she will get in front of you, stops you, and look directly into your eyes as if to tell you to get on with the petting. (Yes, I love everything about humans. I cannot wait to have my very own pack of them.)
“Snow has beautiful eyes.” (Aww… thank you very much!)
“Snow is still learning leash manners.” (Yes, I am doing my best to learn how to be an excellent walking buddy for my humans.)
Looking forward to endless love from my future family…
Yours truly and forever, Snow White Aurora

Hey y’all, I’m Cotton, a 4-year-old, 78 lb. girl who’s soft but waaayyy bigger and cuddlier than an actual cotton ball. What I really need now is a foster home while GPRA finds me the best fur-ever family. I’m a loved Pyr who wishes I could change everything my mom’s going through right now. But without a magic wand, all I can do is keep my heart open and put my best paw forward when you and I meet. Do you want to meet?

I’m Clyde, the 1.6 year old, 78 lb male half of the Pyrenees version of Bonnie and Clyde. The human B&C were last seen at Ma Canfield’s Cafe; we were last seen at a Macon animal shelter until GPRA saved us. And now we’re hoping you might want to save us again? See, we are not a bonded pair so we do not have to be placed together. We do like to have some fun, so I’d do best with another dog in the family. Like our namesakes, we’re also excellent escape artists but our paw prints are not in any national databases and we don’t rob gas stations. I might try and sneak an extra treat or some longer ear rubs, and I did chase a cat once but I was playing! We’re easy going dogs who love people and walk well on our leashes.
