 **Tune in to our Facebook page (Great Pyrenees Rescue Society - GPRS) every Sunday at 3pm CT to see our dogs LIVE!  You can also find previous episodes on our YouTube channel (@gprspyrs). If you would like a specific dog to be featured on our show, please email us at info@greatpyreneesrescuesociety.org**.  Introducing Lila, a gorgeous Great Pyrenees girl who’s as sweet as they come—affectionate, happy, and always ready to dole out some seriously top-tier kisses. Born around February 2024, Lila was surrendered alongside her sister Lydia by a growing family who adored her but felt overwhelmed with toddlers and a baby on the way. Despite this unfortunate turn of events, Lila still has a temperament that’s smoother than a jazz melody, the kind that makes life easy. With her naturally calm demeanor, Lila is the type to stay cool even when the other dogs are throwing a bark party around her. Unflappable, unbothered, and undeniably lovable, she’s easy-going with a pinch of timid, but she’s never too shy to chase a good time. Or treats. In which case she’ll happily plant herself at your feet with laser-like focus and a hopeful smile. Lila has a playful sparkle in her eye that says she’s always ready for a little adventure—or a nap in the sun. She gets along great with both the ladies and the fellas, and she’s hoping her forever home comes with a four-legged BFF to pal around with—because playtime, like a cheese snack, is better when shared! Lila walks well on a leash (with the occasional artistic interpretation of where the path *should* be), loves to play, and is deeply committed to snack-based decision-making. Lila is looking for a home where she can be her happy, beautiful self—and maybe share some of those amazing kisses with you.

Story
Meet Janis, the adorable freckle-faced girl who’s as sweet as they come and who knows how to make her presence felt in the most endearing ways. Born around March 2020, Janis is an affectionate girl who loves snuggles, won’t say no to a good belly rub, and just wants to be adored. She’s got a soft spot for humans and loves to stay close, ensuring you never feel alone—she may even climb into your lap to get closer! If you're looking for a buddy who’s all about those cozy moments, Janis is your girl. But as much as Janis loves her humans, she’s not big on sharing the spotlight—she’s on the lookout for a home where she can be your one-and-only. And spoiler alert, she’s very clear about her "no cats allowed" policy—cats are definitely not on her guest list! Janis is the perfect companion for a quiet home with adults only (she’s not into the whole kid thing) and would thrive in a calm, loving environment. Janis is a keen listener and will happily join you for a leisurely walk—though, full disclosure, she’s a bit of a distracted walker who has strong opinions about bicycles and mail trucks. She’s still learning the art of leash-walking, so some patience is required, but she’s super smart and eager to please. And speaking of her intelligence, this smart cookie is a Dentastix detective, and she loves the challenge of a treasure hunt in pursuit of those prized treats! With her affectionate nature (and those sweet freckles you can’t resist!), Janis is ready to give all her love and gentle kisses to the right home—could it be yours?

Story
If your checklist includes finding a furry adventure buddy with a love for people and all things outdoorsy, Howie is your guy. Born around June 2017, Howie’s ideal match would be an active owner who loves exploring as much as he does. While he’s perfectly content to spend the day lounging on the back porch or catching up on his beauty sleep, Howie also has bursts of playful energy that will remind you just how fun life can be! Walks are his favorite, and while he may get a bit excited at the sight of other dogs, a confident owner with a firm grip will make those outings a breeze. Handsome, intelligent, and as sweet as they come, Howie is a social guy who loves making new friends. Once you’ve earned his trust, he’s the most loyal companion you could hope for. While he’s not the type to crawl into your lap for a cuddle, he’ll happily lay by your feet while you work, offering quiet support and the occasional side-eye if you’re not sharing snacks. Howie’s ideal family would be an experienced and active one, without cats, small dogs, or young children—teenagers are more his speed! He’d thrive with a large lady dog companion, or as the solo star of the show with an owner who knows their way around big, lovable pups. This boy is bursting with love and loyalty, just waiting for the right person to share it with—preferably someone with treats and hiking boots.

Story
Sedona is a gentle sweetheart with a heart as big as her beautiful eyes. Born around February 2023, she’s a quiet, affectionate girl who’s happiest curled up next to her people, soaking in all the love and cuddles she can get. While she may start off shy and unsure, with patience and kindness, Sedona truly blossoms into a loyal companion. When she first arrived at her foster home, Sedona was very timid and overwhelmed. But thanks to a calm and loving environment, she’s come a long way and is now learning to relax and enjoy the company of her foster family's dogs, cats, and humans. Her ideal forever home would be one that understands her need to go at her own pace and gives her the time and space to feel safe. Sedona could thrive as the only dog in the home, soaking up all the love for herself. If there’s another resident dog, slow introductions are a must—and she does best with dogs who are respectful of her boundaries and personal space. But once she warms up, she’s a playful girl who enjoys a good dose of fun canine camaraderie. If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful companion and are ready to help a shy girl come out of her shell, Sedona might just be your perfect match.

With her gorgeous light brown eyes and a face that’s impossibly adorable, Gallete has perfected the ancient art of getting you to drop everything and pet her. And then keep petting her. Born around May 2023, Gallete may technically be a Great Pyrenees, but don’t tell her that—she’s pretty sure she’s a pocket-sized lap dog. She just loves her people, and she’s a total sweetheart with all creatures great and small. She mingles with dogs of all sizes and temperaments like a seasoned socialite, keeps her cool around cats, and is a perfect lady with children. She walks nicely on a leash (with occasional distracted detours toward interesting smells or people who might pet her), and she treats brushing like a spa appointment with her favorite stylist who’s about to make her look even more fabulous. Sweet as sugar and twice as lovely, Gallete is ready to step into her happily-ever-after—ideally somewhere with belly rubs, admiring glances, and maybe a lap big enough to believe in fairy tales.
