My Story

Hi there, I’m Atlas! 🐾
I’m a laid-back, sweet-natured pup currently staying in boarding, but I’m hoping to find a quiet foster or forever home where I can truly shine.

I’m a pro at housetraining (I even ring a bell when I need to go out — pretty clever, huh?), and I’m a total gentleman in the house. I spend most of my day lounging on the couch or relaxing on the floor, and I’ve got the ā€œeasygoing roommateā€ thing down to a science.

I’m looking for a peaceful home in a quiet neighborhood — no city life for me, please! Loud noises, crowded sidewalks, and busy streets just aren’t my style. What I’d really love is a big fenced-in yard where I can safely stretch my legs and enjoy the fresh air without too much outside hustle and bustle. A quiet setting with some space between neighbors would be perfect.

I do very well with grooming (pampered pup, reporting for duty!), and I also love car rides and am fine being home alone for a while. I know my basic commands like sit, down, and come, and I’m always happy to come inside when you offer me a carrot. (They’re my favorite!)

If you’ve got a peaceful home, a little extra patience, and a quiet yard with room to breathe, I’d love to be part of your life. I’m ready to be someone’s loyal companion. Could that be you?

With love,
Atlas

My Story

Hey there! I’m Willie Nelson, a handsome, happy-go-lucky big boy. I used to be a stray, roaming around, until I found my way to the shelter. That’s where I met some amazing humans from GPRA who showed me what freedom really feels like!

I’m a super sweet boy with wavy hair that’s just begging for some brushing. I love being close to people, and I’m all about those cuddles. You can touch me anywhere, and I’ll just lean in for more.

When it’s time for adventures, I ride like a champ in the car—windows down, ears flapping in the wind! I might pull a bit on the leash when I spot a squirrel, but I’m learning to sit like a good boy. Life is pretty great, and I’m ready to find my forever home!

Hi, Everybody! There is a Winter Olympic speed skater named Apolo Ono whose name is almost like mine. I may not be as swift as an ice-skating olympian, but I walk at a leisurely pace that suits me just fine. My laid back stroll is a reflection of my personality; I’ve been described as calm, gentle, and sweet. I’m even good on the leash! While you won’t catch me on the ice-skating rink, I ride well in the car. Gold medals are fine, but I love pets and affection! I could win the medal for most -liked because dogs, cats, and chickens are my friends. Honestly, though, the most rewarding place to be is with my family. When I’m cozy at home, I love snuggling with the kiddos and hanging out with female dogs. This pyr is a ladies’ pyr! Every ice skater needs to know how to train, and I’m no exception. I already know the commands: “sit” and “come,” and I’m house-trained to boot, a snow-boot that is. I’m a big and easy-going boy, and the only race I’ll be winning is the one to your heart!

If you’re curious about your family history, maybe we can do one of those ancestry kits together since I know nothing about my past. The nice GPRA vet says I’m about 2 years old, weigh 93 lbs., sweet, friendly, and ride well in the car. And my pictures prove I’m handsome so really what else do you need to know? Nah, I get it, I wish I could share more, too. I see a lot of other GPRA rescues want safe homes and loving humans, too. I bet my foster family—when I get one—will tell you more about me, after we spend some time together. Oh, hey, here’s an idea: maybe you could be my foster! Will you think about please emailing info@greatpyratlanta.com, clicking ā€œContact Usā€ or choosing ā€œApply to Adoptā€ below to discuss this plan? And if I have a foster when you reach out, perfect, you can learn stuff about me I don’t know yet.Ā

Y’all, I’m here and ready to be wherever you are instead! I’m a three-year-old, 93 lb. boy who left the only home he’s known. Please trust me, my owner’s reasons were very real, and also private, so rather than judging, let’s talk about finding my new family. I’m very playful and good with adults, kids, and small dogs. Basically, I just love people. Can’t say the same for thunderstorms or gun shots since both send me into hiding. Supposedly I chase cats and the only big dog I know doesn’t seem to be a fan, don’t know if it’s my fault or his. I’ve been known to share a low growl if another dog approaches my food but that’s all, just a polite warning it belongs to me. Oh, and since I’m an outdoor dog, I’ll need help and patience (and treats!!) to learn indoor manners. My story might not be so unique for a GPRA rescue but I probably need a special, Pyr-smart owner so I make the best transition possible. If this sounds like you, or maybe a friend of yours, please email info@greatpyratlanta.com, click ā€œContact Usā€ or choose ā€œApply to Adoptā€ below.
