Hello, Pyr Friends! Meet me, Fred! My GPRA family says my nickname could be Fabulous Fred because I’ve frankly mastered a lot of skills. I’m already housetrained which is fantastic, and I give you friendly bark or whine to let you know, “I need to go out, please!” Riding in the car is also something I’m very facile at doing. Because I enjoy hanging out with other dogs outside the home, we can totally hop in the car and head to the dog park! Or, we can go for a coffee run and grab a frappuccino. When we walk in the neighborhood, I’ll be known as Famous Fred because of how friendly I am to everyone I meet, including the kiddos. While I love seeing my fellow canines and children on leash, I prefer to be the only dog in the house, and I do best with a family who has teens or just adults. My GPRA friends will tell you that people are my favorite. Once you take me home, you’ll see what a sweet, cuddly, and happy boy I am! As a young pyr, I’m still full of that fresh pyr energy, and I’d enjoy a place to get out my zoomies. Also, because I’m a youthful male pyr, I’m still learning my leash manners although everyone says I’m pretty good on the leash. One of my most famed qualities is my keen intelligence! I know all the fundamental commands: sit, down, and stay. I’ve even heard some people call me Fair Fred because of how beautiful I am, but all I really want is to be your Faithful Fred companion who will love you forever!

Hi, I’m Goldie, and I’m here to tell you that I’m worth my weight in gold due to my pyr-fect personality! My foster family says I’m a sweet and easy-going dog. As a young pyr lady, I’ve still got that good as gold pyr energy. Because I get a gold star for being friendly, I can have lots of fun playing with other dogs. At my foster home, I live with another female dog, and we go for gold when it comes to being best buds. My only preference is that we are fed separately; otherwise, we’re golden! I also have a heart of gold when it comes to cats. We even sleep together in the same bed! If they run, I do like to chase, but I’m easily redirected. If you’re looking for a dog who will let you know what’s going on, then look no further because I am a good pyr barker. As the saying goes, silence is golden unless you’re a pyr! Foster Dad and I are working on my inside barking, though, and I’m getting better. For me, living in a quiet suburb will be a golden opportunity because I really do like a surrounding without a lot of city noise. Besides being great with other dogs and cats, I’m fantastic with humans, of course. With me, you’ll strike gold because I’m good with people and kids! Coming home with you would be like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Please consider taking me home today!

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?
