Saturday Sweetie with adorable EMMY in WA 🩷 Emmy was rescued from a terrible situation in Mason County with about 60 other dogs, where she was a mere fraction of her size. While we have no idea what Emmy has been through, she has not let it dull her shine. 🌸She loves playing with her toys, taking long naps on the couch, and having her fur brushed. 🌸She is a little nervous around new people and new dogs but is slowly coming out of her shell. 🌸She is learning basic commands and has been doing great with her potty training. Emmy is a smart and sweet girl that would do well being the only dog in the house or with a calm gentle dog that can show her the ropes. 🌸Emmy is NOT a fan of the felines, so homes without cats please! Emmy’s foster has done an amazing job helping her feel safe and she has put on some very needed weight. She has come a long way and is looking for a safe place to call her own, she definitely deserves it!
🌸🩷🌸🩷
Emmy is being fostered in Shelton, WA and can be available within OR and WA.

❤️ We LOVE hearing from our adopters! ❤️ Here’s Kira! Kira was rescued from a poor situation in OR with twelve of her siblings in the spring (another brother came later). She was later adopted to a farm in WA and gets to guard the property with her Anatolian-Pry-Maremma mix brother “Isbjorn” and kick around with the rescue kitties. Her adoptive family is amazing and they are so in love with her.❤️ Rescue gets tough sometimes and when our adopters reach out and are grateful for the work we do, it’s all worth it! 🐶.

What can you do? Mouse could use a sponsor, and at just $25 per month, you can help with food, medical, and other supplies.

Saturday Sweeties of the PNW 💙🌸💙 Great Pyrs and Paws is ALWAYS looking for Fosters, Sponsors, and Adopters for our sweet, loving rescue dogs ! 🐶 We love meeting new people and having new people come into animal welfare to help support these dogs.
While adopting a dog in need is always the ultimate goal, fosters are hard to come by and we would love more to apply and open their homes to these pups. If you can’t foster or adopt at the moment, another great way is to sponsor a dog in need, which would greatly help out with medical care, food and any medications they may need. Whatever you can do to help, it’s always appreciated ! 🙏💙♥️ Thank You for always supporting !

Jasper's Journey with GPPR began in April after he was abandoned on a rural property in Bastrop with his brother, Jett. One of our amazing puppy fosters🩵 agreed to take the pair, and they both have thrived in her care! Jett was adopted recently after a summer event, and now it's Jasper's turn!
This sweet seven-month-old boy has recently started sleeping😴 outside his kennel and made his debut at the dog🐕 park. He was a little nervous, but very curious to explore a new place! Jasper is currently in Texas, but can be transported🚐 to the PNW. To fill out an application head to www.greatpyrsandpaws.org

📣 Here’s Belle! Belle came to us at the beginning of the year, her person passed away and the family was struggling to meet her needs. 😢 One of our AMAZING previous adopters stepped up to be her long term senior foster so we could bring her into our senior program. ❤️ Named after our senior “Homer” who came into the rescue in poor condition, dogs in the Homer Senior Housing Project stay with their long term fosters who provide food, love and safety while the rescue pays for medical and other supplies. Belle had to have some medical care including a spay and now she is available for sponsorship. Belle is loving her foster home and her canine siblings. She is sweet as can be with ALL the personality! She is also good with the chickens! Belle and her Pyr brother Bruce attend some of our Portland events and she is definitely the Belle of the ball where ever she goes. If you would like to sponsor Belle, just $25 per month helps with her medical fund. Go to our PayPal or click on the link [email protected]&Z3JncnB0=" rel="ugc" target="_blank">https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_donations&business=[email protected]&Z3JncnB0= and check the box “Make this a monthly donation” to help keep our senior program funded.

Karma 🩷is a reserved girl who finds comfort in her kennel and enjoys listening to her favorite tunes by Taylor on repeat. 🩷It takes her a bit of time to get used to new people, but once she does, she’s an affectionate cuddle bug!🩷

Despite her sweet appearance, Karma has a mischievous side. She might try to swipe your wallet and then play innocent with a “Look what you made me do” if caught. She also dreams of joining the counter-surfing Olympics.🩷

Karma has done well with house training and is excellent at sleeping through the night in her kennel, with only occasional nighttime potty breaks. She interacts well with her foster dog siblings but has not been around cats
🩷🩷🩷🩷
Anyone who adopts Karma will be fortunate to have a devoted and protective companion. She is currently in foster care in Washington and is available for adoption within the Pacific Northwest.🩷🩷🩷🩷

📣 Hi everyone! Remember the moms and puppies from last year’s rescue? 🐶 Some of the adults from that rescue have found amazing homes, Duchess, Daisy, Sunshine, BJ (now Woodrow)and most recently, Trapper! It has taken a VERY long time for those adults to learn how to be a dog. It’s taken the efforts of our amazing fosters who nurture them with love, helping them feel safe all the while helping to build their confidence. ❤️. Della, mom of the Perry Mason litter is still working hard on making friends, being in the house and trusting in people again. Despite the experience of her first year of life, she is sweet, silly and quirky. She is still looking for her forever home, that family who has a deep understanding of what she needs and who will love her for who she is. Do you have the love and patience to help her become her authentic self? She loves being outdoors and although she’s not safe with chickens, would make a great farm companion. She gets along with most dogs and has not been observed with cats. Della is currently being fostered in Shelton, WA and could be transported within WA or OR. If you would like more information on Della email [email protected] or message us on social media! We know her family is out there somewhere! ❤️.

💙 SideKick Saturday 💙Meet Birch! Birch was brought into boarding after the tragic death of his mother in a freak accident. His mother was a beloved figure in the tight-knit community of Shelton, WA, and the locals came together to ensure he found a safe place to stay. Birch is an energetic 2-year-old Pyrenees-Border Collie mix, full of youthful exuberance. He embodies the lively spirit of both breeds—loving attention, being sweet and affectionate, and giving plenty of kisses.
💙💙💙
As a strong and active dog, Birch thrives on physical and mental stimulation and will benefit from some basic training. He’s playful, enjoys wrestling, and loves being chased. 💙He does best with female dogs and prefers to be the only King in the household . 💙Birch would be happiest in a cat-free environment. Currently, Birch is being fostered in Shelton, WA, but transportation within WA and OR is available.
💙💙💙💙
Please note that all our dogs require secure, visible fencing, and any current pets in the adoptive home must be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.

with baby Jasper in TX 💙 Jasper is a calm and happy 5-month-old puppy who loves his life, especially digging in the garden his foster mom made for him. He was likely the smallest in his litter and looks for guidance before acting.

Jasper enjoys his soft toy duck, bones, and peanut butter Old Mother Hubbard biscuits. He has fun chasing and wrestling with his brother Jett and the other foster dogs before napping in the yard. He rolls over for belly rubs when approached.
💙💙💙💙
He’s progressing with house training, gets along well with other dogs, and is comfortable in his crate. He needs more time to get used to cats. Rescued with Jett from an abandoned property in rural Bastrop County, Texas, Jasper is now ready for a new home and can be transported to the Pacific Northwest. To learn more or tp apply to Jasper, reach out at the website www.greatpyrsandpaws.org !💙

📣 Sweet Jasper is wondering why no one has come for him yet?! This sweet mature Pyrenees Lab mix is about 7 1/2 yrs old and would love a soft and calm place to land. 🏡. He’ll love to accompany you on walks, hang out with you while you’re hanging out at home or in the back yard, and would make a nice companion for your cat(s)!

with adorable and KLOUD ☀️ Kloud is still available! If you’re searching for a sweet and gentle companion, Kloud is the perfect choice. He’s one of the “baker’s dozen” of puppies rescued from a tough situation in Southern Oregon. Kloud is a playful dog who enjoys running around and wrestling with his foster brother and gets along well with all the dogs he meets. He would thrive with a medium to large, playful adult dog to mentor him and would benefit from having a fun sibling to share backyard antics with.
💙💙💙💙
Kloud is building his confidence in his current foster home but may feel a bit nervous around new people, so socialization will be important for him. He enjoys outings once he feels secure in his environment. Kloud is making good progress with house training and sleeps through the night. He has not been exposed to cats.
💙💙💙💙
Anyone who adopts Kloud will be lucky to have such a sweet companion. He is currently being fostered in Washington and is available for adoption within the Pacific Northwest. ⛰️

Misty took the long journey🚐 from Texas to Oregon, and she is now enjoying some shade and somewhat cooler temperatures with her new family in Portland. Although Gwen had a tough go of it with her eye surgery, she is happily finishing her healing with her new family! Sasha found a great family in Texas and has a new pup sister and pool to enjoy for the rest of the summer! Koda found a great family with two pup and one cat siblings to join, and Fern is staying in Portland with a new Malamute brother!
