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. More info coming soon…

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

Hi! My name is Sadie Summer, and I am ready to live out my golden years with a loving owner. GPRA tells me that I will not live tied up outside anymore.
So, is it true that I may get my very own comfy dog bed or couch? Couches are my favorite thing, but an equally comfortable dog bed might make me just as happy! Ignore my shaved haircut because it is not my best look. My coat is growing in, and I cannot wait to be as white and fluffy as GPRA’s other Pyrs! If you wonder why I am with GPRA, the simple answer is that my family closed the farm, moved to the suburbs, and I was left behind. Although I am shy, I will surely open up my Pyr heart with kind-hearted humans.
Here is what my foster family says about me.
“Sadie is timid and quiet, and she is trusting us more each day. Her safe place is the couch. She loves her couch!” (My Pyr heart is starting to trust my foster parents. Would you believe they gave me my very own couch?)
“Sadie walks great on a leash. However, she still gets a bit frightened of new noises or activities. While taking  Sadie for walks through town, she will cower a bit when people come up, but she will stand and let them pet her.” (I’m trying to be a brave girl.)
“Although it took a while for Sadie not to flinch every time we touched her, Sadie loves petting.”
“Sadie will do best in a quiet house and neighborhood without too much traffic or activity.” (Yep, I enjoy quiet and relaxed living, do you?)
“Sadie will need a patient and loving owner who will help build her trust.”
Did you know that GPRA knows of Pyrs that live into their late teenage years? Well, I plan to be one of those Pyrs, so will you open your home and heart to me?
Pyr-ready for a life of comfort and love, Sadie Summer Emoji

Hi, everyone. I am the beautiful Pyr that goes by the name of Misty Dale. You can call me Misty. For five years, I wandered a neighborhood. Yes, five years. The good thing is that the neighborhood humans fed me. Still, that is a long time to be on my own.
The neighborhood describes me as a sweet and friendly girl. Thankfully, someone finally stepped up to take responsibility to ensure that I am properly cared for. Right now, I am in the loving care of a foster family and will update you on all that I am learning. GPRA tells me that my very own family is out there. As I did with my neighborhood, I will become your faithful guardian.
Eagerly awaiting my turn to be loved forever…Misty

Hello, everyone! I am Cisco.  Sadly, I lost my primary caretaker, and with this unexpected life change, my previous family can no longer keep me. They are all very heartbroken.
Now, I am looking for a new family who will become my forever.  There are lots of great things you need to know about me.  First, you can see in my photos how much I love humans. Here are few other things that my previous family shared with GPRA.
“Cisco is a friendly, family dog.” (Yes, I love my family, especially the children.)
“Cisco is active and playful. He spent most of his life outside.” (Yes, I love the outdoors. However, if the humans are inside, I think I would like to spend more time there as well.)
“Cisco lived with another dog and six cats.” (I will miss my other fur-family members and look forward to having new ones.)
So, what do you think? Are you ready to adopt me? Looking forward to happier days, again… Cisco
