My Story

Hi there! I’m Bear Lane—your future best buddy, biggest cheerleader, and number one tail-wagger. I’m a friendly, outgoing guy with a lot of love to give and a voice to match (I’m a bit of a talker, but only when I’ve got something important to say—like “Yay, you’re home!”).

I’m not the type to be in a hurry all the time—sure, I like a quick run around the yard, but I’m just as happy to relax and hang out. I’m a grazer when it comes to food, and I especially love pizzles and cow ears. I don’t guard my food or toys—sharing is caring, right?

I absolutely adore people, and I’m known for my signature Bear Hugs. I might squint a little when you go in for head pats (hey, we all have our quirks), but I trust you and love your attention. My foster mom says I’m respectful of fences, cooperative with handling, and I’ve learned to keep my kennel clean.

I ride like a champ in the car (I can even hop in myself!) and I’m learning how to walk nicely on a leash—sometimes I get excited and pull, but I’m working on it. I do bark at noises or when I’m feeling playful, but I’m just letting you know I’m on the job.

If you’re looking for a lovable, loyal companion with a big smile and an even bigger heart, I think we should meet. I’m ready for my forever home—could it be with you?

Our main mission at GPRA is to find the right permanent home for Great Pyrenees in distress, whether they are strays or from an overpopulated kill or no-kill shelter. We don’t care how old they are or what their medical condition is because we will make sure they receive a comprehensive medical evaluation, spaying or neutering, and even behavioral training if necessary.

My Story

Hey there, I’m Champion—a goofy, lovable guy with energy to spare and a heart full of love! I’m currently hanging out in boarding, but what I really want is a foster or forever home where I can run, play, and snuggle to my heart’s content.

I’m still young so I’d make an awesome adventure buddy for someone who enjoys walks, runs, or just some backyard zoomies. I know basic commands like sit, come, off, and down, and I’m always up for learning more (especially if treats are involved). I’m housebroken and will politely stare at the door when I need to go out—no loud barking required!

I’m friendly with other dogs and playful with kids. Cats?—I tend to chase them. I’m also a little unsure around loud noises and strangers at first, but once I warm up, I’m all in for cuddles and attention. I’ve even been described as a family dog—active, playful, friendly, and easygoing.

I love car rides, being on the furniture, and getting lots of pets. I can be left alone for a few hours and a good routine and some toys help keep me happy and occupied.

I’m just looking for a home that understands my energy, offers me consistency, and gives me all the affection I crave. If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts athlete and cuddle bug, I just might be your Champion.

Let’s meet—I’m ready to win your heart. 🐾

My Story

How do you do, Pyrenees Friends? I’m Duncan, and I’m doing just dandy because I am now a part of the dog-devoted GPRA family! My GPRA buds tell me I’m a slam dunk due to my many delightful qualities. Firstly, I am very dapper from my dashing coat to my deep soulful eyes. At least, that’s what I’ve been told! Secondly, I’m housetrained, so your dwelling will stay clean. Also, you could call me Duncan Dependable as you can count on me to be easy-going in any situation. I don’t react to other dogs or traffic at all. Another nickname of mine should be Duncan Debonair because I’m so darn charming! Every new person I meet is deemed a friend, and I am dazzled by all new friends since they show their Duncan dedication by giving me lots of pets. I live for attention! Being a laid-back dude is just who I am which means I’m a dream to walk on the leash too. My GPRA besties have noticed I’m a darling of cats as well, so I would fit in almost any home. For now, I’ll daydream of my doting family who will scoop me up and love me forever!

Hello, everybody! I’m Troy Turner. Pleased to meet you! Did you know my name means soldier? I stand tall like a soldier at attention because I have really long legs. I’m also ready for a uniform check at any time because I keep my coat in tip-top shape. Foster Mama says I love to be bathed and brushed, so keeping me groomed is easy. Us soldiers also have to be strong, so I need to gain some weight. I do love my food and beef lung treats too! Boot camp always involves exercise to build muscle, and walking and running are so much fun. I even know the words: “walk” and “go out.” We have to be brave as well. Cars and leashes were new to me, but I took to them like a champ! I rode well in the car when I was transported, and I was easy on the leash too. After all, marching is being-a-soldier 101! Every soldier also knows how to be observant, so I do pull a bit on the leash when I smell something exciting. I do know “sit,” though, so you can ask me to do so before you put on the leash. I’ll need a 6-foot fence too because I could escape if something catches my interest. A good soldier always watches out for his squad, and I’ll love keeping my eye on you. I wouldn’t want to miss any cuddling opportunities! But, when you have to leave the compound, I mean house, you can count on me to protect it and not destroy anything. Napping is nice too, so I’ll probably get some shut-eye in while you’re gone. You won’t have to worry about me using the potty either because I’m house-trained! In fact, I know how to use a doggy door, or I sit by the back door to ask to go out. Part of soldiering is also being a diplomat, and I am friendly to everyone and every dog that I meet. And, once I get to know you, I love getting snuggles and pets. It’s all part of my gentle nature and laid-back personality. I am good with other dogs as well, so they can be a part of our crew too. My foster dog brother and I love to play together, and I’m such a trooper because I share all my toys with him. I’m a sweet and loving boy who can’t wait to be the newest recruit in your family!

Winter Greetings, my fellow chilly-air enthusiasts! All us pyrs just love this colder weather, and I’m no exception. Being outside and being walked are the best way to spend a crisp afternoon. I adore hanging out in the backyard with my pyr friends. Large and medium sized dogs are my go-to pals! While I am a queen, I’m very sweet and submissive with my doggy companions. With kitty-cats, I can either ignore or try to play with them. It depends on my mood. Chickens and ducks are not welcome in my snowy kingdom, however; I just want to chase them! Every queen has their crown, but if other people are wearing hats, I get really offended (and scared!). Like most of my majestic pyr comrades, I am fearful of storms and other loud noises. The most queenly thing about me, though, is how well I treat my human subjects. I’m very sweet, loving, and a good girl. When my loyal human says, “sit,” “come,” or “down,” I give my royal ear and listen. I am magnificent with kids too! Before I took up residence in my foster family’s palace, I used to live mostly outside, so I’ll need time to get used to being housetrained and potty-trained. Lady Foster Mama says I’m already doing great, though! Take me home, and I’ll be the Queen of Your Heart!

Well, hello, there! I’m Marco Rosso, and with a name like this one, I’m bound to be famous! It just has that movie-star ring to it. I’d like to be famous for my good looks, namely my wonderful snowy poof of hair! My foster mama already says I’m a lovebug too, and that alone is worth my name being in lights.

Lola Bloom, here! My last name makes me think of flowers, and my favorite one is a daisy. I’m fresh as a daisy too because I’m petal-soft and sparkling clean. I tend to stay that way because I’m the indoor-sy type. Funny enough, I actually love walking on the leash, but I’m still learning about human things like cars. I love learning because just like a daisy can grow almost anywhere, I’m adaptable! Daisies aren’t just hardy; they symbolize loyalty and patience too. I love my other dog companions, and I even welcomed a kitten into my foster home. Speaking of my home, I can be left alone because I’m calm and love to sleep on the couch. I’m a sweet, shy girl, and I can’t wait to go home with you and blossom!

Shasta, coming at ya! My name means to be praised or commended, and since I am house-trained and potty-trained, I think it fits! When it’s potty-time, I’ll sit by the door to ask to go out. I look to my people for direction, and I’ve been told I’m obedient; I even know how to shake. I also know “sit,” “come,” and “off.” See how smart I am? My foster mom says I can be left alone without any problems too. My foster parents’ favorite quality to compliment me on is how good I am with children and how friendly I am with people. Thank you, foster parents! With kids, I enjoy playing with them and having them throw my toys and a ball for me to chase. Shasta (that’s me) also is the name of a mountain in California. Mountains are hard to the touch, but I’m soft and cuddly. I love to lay my head in your lap! While mountains stand still, I like to be walked and have fun running in the backyard. Foster Mom says that I still have puppy energy! On a walk, I can sometimes pull towards other dogs, so I need to work on redirecting my attention back on you when that happens. In and out of the home, I prefer dogs around my own size, so no small dogs or cats, please! Also, I know mountains don’t talk, but I love to speak, or bark, as you humans call it. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate girl to become a part of your family, I am here and ready to come home!

Dakota, here! I’m glad you swung by our GPRA website. Let me tell you what a good boy I am! I’m house-trained, I can be left home alone without being crated, and I know some commands. Us pyrs may be stubborn, but I’ve learned “sit,” “stay,” and “come.” When I meet new friends, I get so excited and jump up, so I will need to learn “down” too. You can see in my pictures that I’m always ready for a new adventure! Unlike a lot of pyrs, I actually like water. Hiking in nature and playing in streams is so much fun! An active family would be a pyr-fect for me because I enjoy being outside and going for long walks. I am strong on the leash, so I need someone confident and who will work on leash training with me. Whether we’re in the great outdoors or cozy at home, I like being with another dog too. It’s fun to have a playmate in the backyard or a companion on the trails. I’d love a family to snuggle at home with too. I like getting pets and just being with my humans. If you’re looking for an affectionate and energetic boy, I’m right here waiting to come home with you!

Tater Tot here! Yep, someone named me Tater Tot, and, yes, it makes me laugh every time I hear my name, too! One wandering day, I decided to stop and say hello to the friendly people at a veterinary office. Yes, I can certainly pick the humans who I know will help me. After Pyr pawing those good humans, they took me in. Although many efforts were taken to find my owners, no one claimed irresistible me. So now, I am with GPRA.

I heard a GPRA volunteer say that I am a true peach! (Well, thank you. And, thank you for transporting me to GPRA)!

Here are a few things GPRA has learned about me.

“Tater Tot did exceptionally well in the car. He was quiet and well-behaved. Although slightly nervous on his first car ride, he did great.”

“Tater Tot has an amazing temperament. He is a leaner and a human-loving Pyr that will want to be with his people a lot as well as have adequate couch time.”

So, do you think you’d like me to join you for your holiday celebrations? I promise to bring you lots of Pyr joy!

As GPRA learns more about me, I will update you.

Pyrly yours, Tater Tot
