My Story

Hi there! I’m Winter, and I’m here to tell you just how much fun I am. I’m a big, goofy boy who loves to give the best hugs! I may have a big head, but that just means I can give the best snuggles, especially when I flop down in your lap or cuddle up on the couch. I’m full of energy and always ready to play with all my toys! I especially love roughhousing with my doggy friends—only my foster Pyr sister can keep up with me!

When I first came to my foster home, my foster mom gave me a bunch of new toys. I got to pick one just for me, and I chose Rocky the Raccoon! I loved him from the start and would gently nibble on his ears, almost like I was teething or nursing. Now that I’ve settled in, I’m just as happy with all my toys—I’m a pretty content guy!

One of my favorite things ever is cuddling with my foster sister, Isabel. I’m totally obsessed with her—particularly her ankles and the bottoms of her feet! I could spend hours gnawing on her ankles, and she doesn’t mind at all! We curl up together or even sleep nose to nose. It’s like I always need to be touching her in some way. We’re the best of buds!

When it’s time to cuddle with my humans, you’ll find me sitting with my front legs wrapped around your knees for the sweetest “sitting hug.” It’s my own style because I’ve learned I’m too tall for “standing up hugs.” I’m also really smart—I know commands like “sit,” “stay,” “let’s go,” and “come.”

I even know how to be patient for treats, and I’m not greedy at all. When it’s treat time, I sit with the rest of the pack, and we all wait our turn! I’m also super respectful of food and don’t mind sharing with others, but if I have a toy, I might run away with it for a bit (especially if it’s a sock—those are so fun!).

I’m house-trained, so you don’t have to worry about accidents. When I need to go out, I’ll give you a big hint by knocking on the door, and I’ll even let you know if I’m upstairs by breathing heavily or circling.

I do have to admit that I’ve been known to “counter-surf” a bit, which means I might try to sneak food if it’s left out. But hey, I’m a growing boy with a big appetite!

I love being the center of attention, and you can pet me anywhere! I love belly rubs, head scratches, and even letting you play with my paws. I’ll jump right into the car when it’s time to go on an adventure, too!

I’m great with everyone I meet, and I especially love giving hugs and getting attention from my human friends. I haven’t met any kids yet, but I’m sure I’d love them (though I might knock them over with my hugs).

I also do this really cute thing when I get in trouble: I’ll show you my teeth in this adorable “Sorry, I messed up!” face. You can’t stay mad at me for long when I do that! 😇

I need a home where I have another dog to play with because I love having company. I’d also love a family who will give me all the hugs and playtime I can handle. If you’re looking for a big, affectionate goofball who’s ready to fill your life with love and laughter, I’m your guy! Let’s be best friends. 🐾

Jolly greetings, pyr friends! I’m James, and I am jazzed to meet you! I’m a young pyr boy who likes to have joyful zoomies in the backyard. Foster Mama says I’m jubilant when I’m running in the yard, and I do need a six foot fence to keep me safe as I romp around. While I enjoy jetting about the yard, I love coming inside for cuddles too. My foster family says I turn to jelly when I’m getting pets because it’s so relaxing. You’ll even see my jowls turn up into a smile. Because of my jocund and easy-going personality, I get along great with kiddos too. Another jewel in my crown is that I’m housetrained. I can even be left home alone and be well-behaved as long as I have a doggy sibling. In my new home, I’ll need a doggy companion to my best friend because to me, having a doggy brother or sister is like hitting the jackpot! I jive with cats as well if you have kitty-cats in the home. Taking walks is also my jam, and the best part is that I’m excellent on the leash. As we take a jaunt around the neighborhood, you’ll notice how friendly I am to every human and doggo we meet. My tail will do a little jig for them while I wag it side-to-side to show how happy I am. Please consider adopting me today. I know we’ll fit perfectly like interlocking pieces of a jigsaw puzzle!
