Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Adoption Fee: $450.
Meet Tamryn— a 7-month-old sweetheart who her foster affectionately calls her Annie.
Tamryn is an affectionate, gentle girl who loves being close to her people and her foster brother, Obie. She gives the sweetest kisses and even has the classic “ Pyr paw,” gently reaching out for affection or to let you know she’d like a little more attention. She’s also wonderfully quiet. She rarely barks, even when Obie sounds the alarm, and when she does bark, she settles quickly when asked.
Annie enjoys her daily walks with her foster brother Obie and is already quite good on leash with little pulling She loves the water and happily wades in the small creek near her home — enough for some fun without getting too messy! Despite those impressive big paws, she doesn’t seem to be growing into a giant dog. Maybe she’ll be our little “pocket Pyr ,” although at 7 months old she may still have some growing to do.
She really enjoys the company of other dogs. She’d love a playful companion in her new home. She lights up and loves to frolic with neighborhood dogs who stop by . She lives peacefully with a senior cat .
Crate training is still a work in progress. Annie hasn’t decided the crate is her favorite place yet, although she’ll happily venture inside to retrieve her beloved toys. She loves chew time — marrow bones, pig ears, toys and pretty much every treat she’s tried. She isn’t hugely food motivated, but she has learned that sitting politely is a great way to earn a treat.
At night, Annie is a dream. When it’s bedtime, the foster close s the bedroom door and she settles right onto her own bed. In the evenings, she’s equally content to relax with us while we watch TV, quietly working on one of her chew toys. A daily walk helps make for an especially happy napper and a great night’s sleep.
Car rides are getting better although she needs some more experience and patience to become a happy traveler
Annie is still very much a puppy — silly, sweet and adorably bendy, sometimes seeming more like spaghetti than a dog. She loves affection, companionship, exploring outside and being part of whatever her family is doing. Her foster fell in love with this special girl very quickly, and it’s easy to imagine her bringing the same joy to her forever family.
If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, quieter young pup who enjoys other animals, daily adventures and plenty of together time, Tamryn may be your girl.

Great Pyrenees puppies are truly something special. They are known for being gentle, loving, loyal dogs with wonderful personalities. They can be playful and silly as puppies while also growing into devoted companions who love their families and enjoy being part of the household.
This sweet girl is a wonderful example of what makes Pyrenees such great dogs. She is affectionate, smart, and has a lovely temperament. For her age, she listens very well and is already showing how quickly she can learn. She enjoys being around people and has a sweet personality that makes her easy to fall in love with.
Born in April, she is at a great age to continue learning, growing, and bonding with her new family. She would do best with a loving home that is ready to give her the time, attention, training, and care she needs as she grows into the amazing dog she is meant to be.
If you’ve ever wanted a Great Pyrenees, this sweet girl is a wonderful representation of why so many people love the breed. She has a lot of love to give and is ready to find the family she can call her own.

PUPPIES ARE ONLY PLACED IN HOMES WITH YOUTHFUL, PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOGS WHO ARE AT LEAST 50 POUNDS.
Our requirements for puppy adoptions are simple and necessary.
Our puppies are not livestock guardians, they are family pets that live inside of the family home. Puppies must be placed in homes with a youthful, adult resident dog of similar size. This gives the puppy a mentor and a solid foundation for becoming part of the family. Puppies are only adopted to homes with someone at home at least part of the day. If no one is home for 6-8 hours at a time, please do not apply. Preference is always given to those with Great Pyrenees experience. Applicants must have secure, visible fencing and a socialization plan in place. The fastest way to be considered for a puppy is to fill out an application. Adoption is not first come, first served. GPRS and its fosters work diligently to find the right fit for each and every unique dog and puppy. Applicant’s personal pets must be current on vaccines & heartworm/flea prevention and be altered. Adoption fee: $450 (Adoption fee includes spay or neuter, distemper/parvo vaccines, flea preventative, deworming, and health certificate for travel). Adopters pay the cost of transport services outside of Texas area. Transport costs depend on location and company used. Northeast transport fee is $200. The Northwest and Midwest transport fees range from $225-$350. The Southeast transport fees range from $250-$350.
