My name is Reed!

Meet Reed:
Reed is the kind of dog who makes you believe in soulmates — the four-legged, tail-wagging kind. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear that his heart is about three sizes too big for his body. He loves people with his whole heart, in that pure, uncomplicated way only dogs can. Whether you’re sitting quietly on the couch or just walking from one room to another, Reed will be there, tail softly wagging, offering you the kind of quiet companionship that fills a home. But don’t be fooled into thinking he’s all serious and sentimental. Reed’s got a silly streak that sneaks out just often enough to keep things interesting. One minute, he’s the model of good manners, sitting like the perfect gentleman; the next, he’s zooming around with a toy in his mouth, tossing it in the air like he’s auditioning for a one-dog circus act. His goofy grin and playful energy are impossible not to smile at — it’s like he knows exactly when to lighten the mood.

Reed is a 1.5-year-old, 80-pound Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix who’s equal parts sweetheart and heart-stealer. Originally part of our Spring Creek Litter back in early 2024, Reed grew up loved and cherished—but sometimes life throws curveballs, and his owner faced major medical procedures that made it impossible to keep up with his care. So, with heavy hearts, he made his way back to us through no fault of his own. Reed is basically the golden retriever of social butterflies—only he’s dressed in the soft, cloud-like fluff of a Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. His warmth and friendliness come with a gentle confidence, a spark of playfulness, and just enough charm to make everyone he meets feel like they’ve known him forever. Cats? Oh, Reed’s basically fluent in Feline Diplomacy. He lived with one for most of his life, and it taught him the important life lesson that cats are royalty and dogs are, at best, their lowly servants. So, he bows, gives space, and moves along like a well-trained butler. He’s the kind of dog that looks at a hissing cat and thinks, “Ah yes, Your Grace, my apologies for breathing near your throne.” Kids? Oh, Reed thinks they’re the best thing since sliced bread. He recently spent a day with a six- and nine-year-old, and if you’re wondering how that went—imagine the world’s most wholesome buddy comedy. They ran around, played games, and Reed didn’t jump, herd, or knock anyone over. He just matched their energy like he’d been prepping for this role his whole life. When it comes to babies, he’s all curiosity and manners. He’ll gently stick his head in the stroller for a sniff like, “Ah yes, a small human. Delightful addition to the pack.” And adults? Reed doesn’t meet new people—he greets his future admirers. He approaches every human with calm confidence, like he’s positive you woke up this morning hoping to pet an 80-pound fluff cloud. He doesn’t bark, doesn’t act shy, and doesn’t hesitate. You exist, therefore you must love him. And honestly, after five minutes with that soft expression and tail wag, you probably do. In summary, Reed is basically the Mayor of Friendshipville.

Reed’s energy level hits that sweet spot around a six out of ten—enough pep to make life fun but not so much that you’re looking into doggie treadmills. Reed is adaptable, easygoing, and ready to fit into almost any home. He’s already proven he can thrive in an apartment, but he’d also love a yard to stretch his legs—he’s not picky, just hopeful that wherever he lands, it’s forever this time. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who walks that fine line between well-mannered and hilariously mischievous, Reed is your guy. He’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh daily, love deeply, and never let you fold laundry alone again. Adventure? Reed’s all for it. He’s the kind of dog who would happily join you for hikes, park strolls, or coffee runs, but he’s also perfectly content lounging at home afterward like he just conquered Everest. He’s got that Pyr-Border Collie balance down to an art—half philosopher, half explorer. He’ll climb the metaphorical mountain with you and then snore like a log on the couch afterward. When it comes to walks, Reed is all business. After spending his early life as an apartment dog, the guy treats every stroll like it’s his daily newspaper delivery. He strides ahead confidently, tail wagging, taking in all the world’s gossip through sniff reports. He’s not out here dragging you down the street or playing tug-of-war with the leash; he just walks like he’s leading a motivational podcast titled “How to Enjoy Life One Pawstep at a Time.” When it comes to his favorite things, toys are a big hit. He loves to carry them around like trophies, showing them off to anyone who will admire his collection. Playing with other dogs? Also a yes. He’s the life of the playgroup—friendly, fair, and always up for a round of chase. He’s not a food-obsessed dog, but he’ll never turn down a treat, especially if it comes with praise (he lives for approval like it’s currency). His evening walks are sacred; it’s his time to unwind, reflect, and show off his good-boy strut.

Reed's got the basics down—sit, lay down, and a sort-of-stay that really depends on how interesting the world is at that moment. He is potty-trained. He’s a model citizen in his kennel, and recently, he even got an hour of unsupervised free roam, and nothing was destroyed—an achievement worthy of applause. Now, about his hobbies. Reed is an avid sock thief. Not in a destructive, “I’m bored” way—more of an enthusiastic collector of soft cotton treasures. He enjoys stealing washcloths too, and if you leave laundry unattended, congratulations, you’ve just joined his enrichment program. Sometimes he even eats them, which, you know, isn’t great for digestion but he will just look up at you with a big ole grin that says, what?! As for noise? Reed is refreshingly moderate. He’s not running a neighborhood news network, but he’ll chime in with a bark or two when playing, or maybe give you a soulful little whine to express his thoughts on waiting for dinner. He even howled in his sleep once, which was hilarious—a true performance piece from the dreams of a Great Pyrenees.

If you’ve been searching for a dog who can flawlessly balance “absolute sweetheart” and “professional goofball,” congratulations—you’ve found Reed. So go ahead and fill out that adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app before someone else snatches up this fluffy comedian. Once your app’s approved, we’ll pass it along to his foster family—and then it’s your turn to come pick him up in Broken Arrow, OK. No, sorry, we don’t offer home delivery—Reed insists his people prove they’re worthy by showing up in person. But don’t worry, the moment you meet him, you’ll know the trip was worth it.
