Great Pyrenees puppies and dogs in Bixby, Oklahoma

We love our Daisey so so much and it breaks my heart to even make this profile for her. My wife has developed a severe allergy to her after covid where she can't be around her. This is so hard to do, I hope someone with a loving home accepts her. A little about Daisy, she is sweet and is calm and collected. Loves to be petted and has a good soul. Like most GP she loves it when it's cold outside. Daisy is potty trained and doesn't beg or have bad habits.

Meet Asha – the ultimate overachiever in the categories of lounging and loving. Asha is what we like to call emotionally available – she’ll bond faster than your last Amazon Prime delivery and loves hard. She’s sweet, gentle, and will follow you around like she’s on a mission to become your shadow’s understudy. Basically, she’s the safe, soft-hearted sidekick you didn’t know you needed… but now can’t imagine life without. She’s the kind of dog who’ll make you feel like the most important person in the world within 3.5 seconds of meeting you — mostly because she’s already decided you’re her emotional support human. Safe? Absolutely. Sweet? To a fault. And once she loves you (which again, takes about the length of one sneeze), you’re stuck. Forever. Like glitter. Meet Asha — a 2-year-old, 63-pound Great Pyrenees whose gentle spirit and loving heart have remained unshaken, even through some incredibly difficult times. Asha came to us from a shelter, where she found herself on the euthanasia list after being left unclaimed—with a large tumor hanging from the side of her face. Despite the pain and confusion, she remained sweet, calm, and affectionate with everyone she met. Thankfully, one of our wonderful foster families stepped up just in time, and thanks to the skill and compassion of our veterinary partners, her tumor was successfully removed. Her incision is nearly fully healed now, and she’s feeling better than ever.Asha is the perfect blend of laid-back and loving. She’s just as happy curling up for a quiet afternoon nap as she is riding shotgun for a treat run. She forms bonds quickly and deeply, offering the kind of unconditional affection that only a rescue dog can. She’s safe. She’s sweet. And she’s ready to write a new chapter—this time with a forever family who sees her for the beautiful soul she truly is. Asha is basically that one friend who gets along with everyone—dogs included. She’s the type who walks into a room, does a polite sniff-around like she’s reading the vibe, and then settles in like she’s always been part of the group. She doesn’t need to be in the middle of the play session, but she likes to know she’s invited. Now, when she first met Major(the resident dog), things were… let’s say tense. He wasn’t thrilled to share the spotlight, but Asha handled it like a total pro—gave him some space, didn’t take his dramatics personally, and let him come around on his own timeline. (He did. He’s obsessed now.) She met a couple of kids recently—ages 8 and 11—and read the room better than most adults. The younger one was clearly a little intimidated by her size (fair, she is part pony), and Asha immediately softened her approach. No jumping, no wild energy—just a slow flop to the floor and a full tummy display, like, “I’m harmless, I promise. You can pet me now.” Cats? She’s seen one. Didn’t chase it, bark at it, or try to interview it. The cat was probably more concerned than she was. Asha just gave it a side glance like, “You do your thing, whiskers. I’ve got naps to take.” And when it comes to grown-ups? Asha thinks you’re great. All of you. She gives a warm, happy greeting without turning into a caffeine-fueled tornado, then politely parks herself nearby in case you feel like giving her some attention. She’s sweet, respectful, and somehow still manages to make every new person feel like they just met their favorite dog. Basically, she’s the total package—diplomatic, affectionate, and socially savvy. Asha’s energy level clocks in at a solid 3 out of 10—which is basically the canine version of a koala crossed with a sleepy golden retriever. If you’re looking for a dog who treats movement as an optional activity unless snacks or car rides are involved, congratulations—you may have just found your soulmate. She’s not going to be your hiking partner for that sunrise summit, but she will accompany you on a leisurely stroll. Despite her preference for lounging, she’s a surprisingly stellar road trip buddy. None of that “panting at every red light” drama here—she's more of a chill co-pilot, gazing out the window like she’s contemplating life’s deeper questions (like why pup cups aren’t free healthcare). With a little help from her doodle foster brother, she’s now a pro car companion—quiet, relaxed, and very pleased to be included. Leash walking? She’s not going to win gold in the Obedience Olympics, but she’s not trying to drag you down the block like a sled dog in the Iditarod either. Unless there’s another dog nearby—then she briefly becomes the mayor of Excitedville. And yes, if she catches a really interesting smell, expect a full-on stubborn statue moment. She’s only been on two “official” walks, but she strutted her stuff like she was auditioning for Dog Bachelor. As for her hobbies, it’s a pretty short list. Napping, cuddling, maybe trying a toy if no one’s watching. She’s dabbled in playtime—it was adorable and slightly awkward, like someone trying yoga for the first time—but she’d honestly prefer a 24/7 petting schedule. She’s not high-maintenance, but she is very in favor of being adored like the majestic, velvet-nosed queen she is.Her temperament? In a word: sweet. In more words: dangerously sweet. She bonds fast, loves hard, and has that “I will imprint on you like a baby duck” energy. She’s smart—like, “quietly outsmarting the humans and pretending she didn’t” smart. Her memory is suspiciously good, so don’t make promises you can’t keep... especially if those promises involve snacks. She absolutely loves being outside, so if you’re apartment-bound with no yard, she’s probably not your girl. She enjoys sunbathing, supervising passersby from a safe distance, and making sure the wind is doing what it’s supposed to. Bottom line: Asha is a low-drama, high-sweetness kind of dog who just wants a soft place to land, a few short adventures, and a lifetime supply of belly rubs. Asha is, in fact, potty trained. She’s polite, dignified, and far too fabulous to do her business indoors like some kind of heathen. As for kenneling... hard no. If you’re looking for a dog who happily trots into a crate and tucks herself in like she’s checking into a cozy doggy hotel, Asha is not your girl. She gave it an honest try—for two nights—and responded with what can only be described as soul-crushing wails straight out of a Victorian ghost story. Not barking. Not whining. Wailing. Like a heartbroken opera singer who lost her will to sing. She sleeps quietly through the night on her bed, doesn’t wander, doesn’t get into things, and generally acts like she’s been free-roaming responsibly her entire life. She doesn’t need a crate to behave—she just needs a home that understands that not every dog finds comfort behind a closed door. So, if you’re thinking of bringing her home and sticking her in a crate while you’re at work—respectfully, don’t. It simply isn't necessary for her. Asha’s barking style? Let’s just say she’s not out here narrating every squirrel movement like a neighborhood gossip, but she will absolutely sound the alarm if something seems off. Suspicious noise outside? Bark. Mailman approaching? Bark. Ghostly presence from another dimension? Possibly bark, just to be safe. She saves the big, dramatic barks for things she deems truly important(although you may not always agree on the level of importance)—like potential intruders, strange sounds, or, you know, a plastic bag blowing across the yard with malicious intent. When she’s bored or just wants a little attention, she tones it down to more of a low rumble or cute little "notice me" bark—kind of like she’s trying to keep it professional but still get her point across. If you’ve made it this far and are thinking, “Wow, this majestic land cloud sounds perfect”—you’re absolutely right. But before you go planning matching outfits and road trips, there’s one small catch: you’ll need to fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app (yes, we require paperwork—because this girl doesn't just deserve a home...she deserves the PYRfect home), and you'll need to come pick her up in Moore, Oklahoma. That’s right—no shipping, no teleportation, no Uber for dogs. Just you, your car, and the open road leading to the best decision you’ll ever make. Don’t worry—she’ll make it worth the drive.

Oh good. You found me. I was beginning to think I was going to have to start a podcast called “Sweetest Boy Alive: The Untold Story.” But lucky for you, I’ve decided to introduce myself instead. I am, according to reliable sources (my foster), “the sweetest boy.” I personally think that’s an understatement, but I try to stay humble. I don’t need to be the loudest in the room. I don’t need to be the center of attention. I just want to be near my people, quietly existing in a state of gentle devotion. I’m the kind of dog who reads the room. If it’s playtime, I’m in. If it’s nap time, I’m already curled up. If it’s “we had a long day and just need peace,” I will absolutely match that energy. I’m Val — 12 weeks old, 28 pounds of premium fluff and I come pre-loaded with good looks, guardian instincts, and just enough independent thinking to occasionally pretend I didn’t hear you. My sister and I were abandoned before we landed in rescue. Quite rude, honestly. But truly? Their loss. Because I am a gem. A treasure. A limited-edition, oversized cloud with a heart of gold. Despite my early plot twist, I am the sweetest boy. Calm. Steady. Thoughtful. I’m not here to flip your coffee table for sport. I’m here to lean gently into your leg and make you feel like you’re the most important human in the universe. Oh, you want the tea on my social life? Perfect. Gather ‘round. Dog wise, I currently live with two big girls, and let me just say — I hold my own. We play well together, we wrestle appropriately, we zoom with dignity (as much dignity as a 28-pound baby bear can manage). And yes. I do have a signature move. It’s called: Sit On Their Heads. Listen, when you’re already built like a fluffy bowling ball, sometimes physics just happens. I don’t mean to end up perched on top of my opponents mid-wrestle. It’s just… efficient. But in all seriousness, I play nicely. Once I warm up, I’m all in. I take cues well, I match energy, and I genuinely enjoy having dog friends. Especially big ones who can handle my growing-into-my-paws era. Ah yes. Cats. The judgmental loafs with opinions. I have not personally conducted any feline evaluations yet. Now, as a 12-week-old, 28-pound Great Pyrenees-in-training, I suspect I would approach a cat the same way I approach most things: cautiously at first… then with curiosity… then possibly with enthusiasm that may or may not be appreciated. Children? Ah yes. The tiny, wobbly humans. I have met one. A 12-month-old grandson. Very small. Very loud. Questionable coordination. I was sweet, obviously. Because I am a gentleman. That said… I am still a puppy. Which means I have paws the size of dinner plates and the spatial awareness of a fluffy ottoman. Truthfully? I’m much more interested in the big doggie cousins that visit.So yes — I’m sweet with kids. But I will need supervision, guidance, and a family that understands I’m a growing Great Pyrenees puppy, not a plush toy with self-control pre-installed. Energy wise? I’m a solid 7 — which means I wake up ready to participate in life. I enjoy playtime. I enjoy wrestling my dog friends. I enjoy trotting around the yard like I own acreage (which, frankly, I should). But I also come with an off switch. After I’ve stretched my legs and expressed my athletic genius (head-sitting included), I am more than happy to plop down dramatically and recharge. Preferably near you. Possibly on your foot. For bonding purposes. Overall temperament? Calm. Gentle. Soft-hearted. Slightly dramatic in my physical presence, but emotionally? Rock solid. Sweet is my brand. Calm is my default setting. Gentle giant-in-progress is my destiny. Now, while I may be too cute for words and sound pretty much like a gem. A calm, sweet, oversized marshmallow of a Great Pyrenees puppy. However… I am still 12 weeks old. Which means I did not arrive pre-programmed with “Perfect House Manners 2.0.” So my future family? You’re going to need to be prepared. Potty training? That’s a team sport. Puppy proofing? Also on you. If you leave shoes on the floor, that’s not temptation — that’s an invitation. Socialization? Very important. I’m a Great Pyrenees. I am going to grow into a large, majestic guardian with opinions. The more positive experiences you give me now, the more distinguished and well-rounded I become. Take me places. Let me see things. Teach me that the world is safe and that you’ve got it handled. Training? Again — I’m smart. Very smart. Borderline suspiciously smart. But I will treat commands as collaborative suggestions unless you make them worth my while. Be consistent. Be patient. Be committed. If you’re looking for a calm, sweet, oversized baby bear who will grow into your loyal shadow… I’m your guy. I’ll be the one sitting beside you during hard days, leaning into you during quiet nights, and standing tall when it matters. I’m playful but thoughtful. Gentle but sturdy. Sweet without being over-the-top dramatic. Now, here is the deal. You cannot simply show up and yell, “That’s my polar bear!” There is a process. You must fill out an adoption app at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app But once you complete the adoption app, the rescue will send it over to my foster family for approval. And when you are approved? You will need to pick me up in Warr Acres, OK. I will not be Ubering. I do not drive. And I am too majestic for public transportation. So fill out the application. Commit to the process. Come get your gentle giant-in-progress. I’ll be here. Growing. Waiting. Possibly sitting on a foster sibling's head. Love, Val 🐾

Ah yes. Donald Pup. Valentine’s Day is approaching, and Donald is very much the shy, nerdy kid standing in the hallway clutching a crumpled note that says “Do you maybe possibly want to be my Valentine? Circle yes or absolutely yes.” At first glance, he’s a little reserved. Polite. Quiet. The type who needs a moment to assess the situation, make sure the vibes are good, and confirm you’re not about to laugh at him in front of the whole cafeteria. He takes things slowly, watches carefully, and works up the courage one deep breath at a time. But once those nerves settle? Oh buddy. Game over. Because the second Donald decides you’re safe, he transforms into a full-blown teddy bear with zero concept of personal space. He loves being held. Pick him up and he doesn’t just relax—he melts. Like warm chocolate. Like a puppy-shaped weighted blanket. Like he’s been waiting his whole life for someone to scoop him up and say, “You’re mine now.” And just when you think he’s all soft glances and gentle cuddles, he sprinkles in a little silliness—just enough to keep you smiling and wondering how you got this emotionally attached so fast. The longer you look at him, the harder it gets to stop. First it’s his cute face. Then it’s his sweet, cautious nature. Then suddenly you’re in love with his whole personality and planning your future together. Let’s talk about Donald Pup, because the audacity of his backstory needs to be addressed. Donald is a 7-week-old, 8-lb male Pyr/Lab mix who somehow—somehow—ended up in the shelter with his sister Daisy. Yes. A literal baby. A marshmallow with legs. A creature whose only crimes include being unbearably cute and possibly not knowing what taxes are yet. And yet, there he was. In the slammer. For the absolutely unforgivable offense of someone deciding they didn’t want him. We would like to formally state for the record that this is an absolute offense against humanity, and we will be pressing charges emotionally. Because look at him. This is not a dog who should know what a shelter is. This is a dog who should only know warm blankets, gentle cuddles, and being told he’s perfect approximately 47 times a day. Thankfully, that chapter is closed. Donald is with us now, and his future is bright. We’re talking a lifetime of “awwww” reactions, soft kisses, and people falling in love with him five seconds after meeting him. He’s sweet. He’s gentle. He’s got that soulful, tender energy that makes you look at him and immediately think, “Yep. That’s my soul dog.” And listen—we already know. When we reach out for an update someday, this will be the dog whose adopter sends us photos with captions like “I can’t imagine life without him". Around other dogs, he starts off in polite introvert mode. A little shy. A little “I’m just going to stand over here and observe the vibes.” But give him a minute, and suddenly he’s clocked in for puppy playtime, happily bouncing around with the other puppies in his foster home. Cats remain an unconfirmed mystery. He has not met one yet. We cannot confirm whether he will be respectful, confused, or simply assume it is a strangely shaped dog. Kids, on the other hand, are likely to get the absolute best version of him. Donald is calm, gentle, and surprisingly polite for someone who still fits in the “tiny potato” category. He does technically possess sharp puppy teeth—because biology—but so far he has chosen to use them responsibly. Donald’s personality can best be described as soft-spoken sweetheart with a very strong cuddle agenda. He’s a little shy at first—the kind of guy who needs a minute to read the room and make sure no one’s about to hurt his feelings. He prefers to take things slow, build trust, and then… boom. Once he’s comfortable, he flips the switch and turns into pure affection. Pick him up and he doesn’t just relax—he fully dissolves. Like a puppy-shaped marshmallow. Resistance is futile. Energy-wise, he’s sitting comfortably at about a 5 out of 10. Calm. Laid-back. Not here to cause problems. He’s mostly content to exist peacefully, soak up affection, and vibe. That said, this rating may increase slightly as he settles in and discovers the full range of his puppy powers—but for now, he’s more “gentle teddy bear” than “chaotic gremlin.” Right now, Donald is a shy little gentleman with excellent intentions and absolutely no life experience. Your job is to help him grow into the kind of polite, well-mannered, emotionally stable dog who makes your family member—yes, the one who once said “you do not need another dog”—suddenly show up unannounced “just to say hi” and then stay for two hours to cuddle him. You will need to show him the world is not scary, the floor is not lava, and strangers are just future admirers he hasn’t met yet. People, dogs, kids, new places, weird noises, and yes—that suspicious trash bin that appears every week and deserves side-eye until proven harmless. Training? Yes, that too. Donald is not secretly studying obedience while you sleep. He’s a blank slate. A soft little sponge. A puppy with great intentions and absolutely no idea what’s expected of him yet. With guidance, consistency, and kindness, he’ll soak it all up and turn into the kind of dog you can take anywhere So here’s the deal: if you’ve read all of this and thought, “Wow. I would absolutely rearrange my life for this puppy,” then congratulations — you are Donald Pup’s target audience. He’s sweet, gentle, cuddly, emotionally available, and already practicing his future role as someone’s soul dog. Now for the slightly less romantic part. If you want to adopt this tiny heart-stealer, you must fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app This is not optional. This is how we make sure Donald ends up with the right human and how we send your info to his foster family. Please do not attempt to telepathically claim him. We’ve tried. It doesn’t work. And yes — pickup will be in Skiatook, OK. No, we cannot beam him directly to your house. He will not Uber. He is eight pounds and has no credit card. Do the application. Come to Skiatook. Meet Donald. Fall hopelessly in love.

Sabrina Carpenter. No, I may not be a famous singer. But I am gorgeous, and I do specialize in soft eye contact and emotional support staring. You’re welcome. Let’s just clear something up right away: I am not here for drama. I am not here for chaos. I am here for gentle vibes, cozy naps, and a human who understands that I am, in fact, a delicate flower in a slightly furry package. I am what the professionals call a “sweet, gentle, sensitive soul.” Instead of touring the world, I was touring… a shelter kennel. For six months. Six. Whole. Months. Since the beginning of August. Behind bars. Watching other dogs come and go. Listening to the echo of barking. Trying to convince myself that maybe tomorrow would be my day. Do you know what that does to a girl? Before that? I was probably a country girl. No real home. Just roaming the countryside like some independent farm-chic heroine in a coming-of-age film. Except instead of a soundtrack and a happy ending, I mostly got “shoo!” and “go on!” and a lot of dust in my fur. So, yes, you could say that I’m figuring out how to be part of a family. I’m a sensitive soul under all this fluff. I notice tones. I read body language. I think before I leap. I’m not the kind of girl who crashes into your life like a wrecking ball. I sort of… tiptoe in. Sit nearby. Watch. Then slowly decide, “Okay. I think I’ll love you now.” But I’m learning. Every day I’m trying. I don’t need perfection. I need patience. I need someone who understands that half a year in a kennel and a lifetime of being “the stray” doesn’t just disappear overnight. I am a 1.5-year-old, 73-pound female Pyr/Poodle mix, which means I am equal parts majestic mountain guardian and emotionally complex curly-haired intellectual. With other dogs, I’m what you might call the cool, aloof type. I don’t immediately join every group chat. I don’t attend every backyard wrestling match. I don’t throw myself into chaotic zoomie festivals with strangers like some kind of social butterfly with no standards. I observe. I assess. Once I decide I like another dog, I’m playful, appropriate, and actually pretty fun. I just don’t believe in forced friendships. Chemistry matters. So yes — I get along with other dogs. But I’m not here for nonsense. How do I do with cats? I don’t bother them. They exist. I exist. We coexist. I’m not chasing them, interrogating them, or trying to insert myself into their mysterious little feline business meetings. They can keep their high shelves and judgmental stares. I’ll keep my snacks and my dignity. Have I been around kids? Let's see, there is Sam. Sixteen years old. Lovely human, I’m sure. But she is… tall. And teenage. And moves like someone who has never had to survive on her own in the wild and then half a year in a shelter contemplating life. Was I a little unsure? Yes. Did I file her under “large unpredictable creature”? Also yes. Now at the vet’s office, a small girl approached me. Tiny. Calm. Gentle hands. Soft energy. And I said, “Alright. You may pet the fluff.” And I allowed it. But here’s the difference: A calm kid walking up to me for 30 seconds in public? Manageable. I can rally. I can be brave. I can say, “Yes, tiny human, you may admire the fluff.” Living with a child 24/7? Entirely different plotline. That means constant movement. Noise. Friends coming over. Doors opening. Sudden hallway appearances. The possibility of being emotionally overwhelmed in my own home — which is supposed to be my safe space. And after half a year in a shelter and a lifetime of figuring things out on my own? I take my safe space very seriously. So while I can politely handle respectful children in short, calm public encounters, I would truly thrive in an adult-only home or a very quiet household where I don’t have to be “on” all the time. Given my sensitive, thoughtful, “let me process this first” personality, I would be happiest in a home without kids. Energy level? Oh. We are sitting at a solid 4. I enjoy a nice stroll. A little backyard exploration. A refined game of chase with a vetted member of my inner circle. But after that? I would very much like to lie down and reflect on my day. Marathon fetch sessions in 98-degree weather? That sounds like something a Labrador would sign up for. I support them from a shaded area. I’m 73 pounds of fluff with a thoughtful heart and a moderate battery life. I don’t need constant stimulation. I need quality interaction. A walk, some sniffing, a little enrichment, and then I’m perfectly content to exist near you while you do your human things. If your dream dog is one who runs 12 miles before breakfast, we are not aligned. If your dream dog is one who enjoys a reasonable amount of activity followed by world-class lounging and soulful eye contact..I am your girl. Adventure-seeker or homebody? Homebody. Without hesitation. Listen… I have done the roaming thing. I have done the “out in the elements” era. I have done the “who knows where I’m sleeping tonight” storyline. These days? I prefer climate control. A consistent couch. The same four walls. A yard I recognize. A routine I can set my emotional clock by. Could I go on an outing? Sure. I do quite well out in public settings but do I want to live a life of always being on the move....that would be a no. Now, I kind of like car rides. I jump right in. Once I’m in, I settle. I observe. I take in the scenery like the thoughtful passenger princess that I am. So if you’re worried I’ll need to be hoisted like a reluctant sack of potatoes? Incorrect. I load myself. Because I am independent. But in a dignified way. Ah yes. Let’s discuss my personality — layered, nuanced, slightly dramatic, but ultimately very soft. With people, I’m a little unsure at first. I watch. I process. I keep a respectful distance while I gather data. But here’s the important part: You can see it in my eyes — I want the love. I want the pets. I want to lean into your hand and exhale like, “Okay… maybe this is safe.” I just need a minute. I’m a sweet, gentle, sensitive soul. The kind that bonds deeply once I know you’re steady. Once I trust you, I soften in the most beautiful way. I’ll come closer. I’ll rest near you. I’ll quietly choose you. I’m not the dog who crashes into your lap on day one. I’m the dog who earns her trust — and then gives you her whole heart. Would I thrive best with a securely fenced yard, or would I do well in an apartment with “regular leash walks”? Let’s not overcomplicate this. Yes. I need a fenced yard. I am a former country girl who has already done the “wander the countryside and hope for the best” phase. We are not revisiting that storyline. A fenced yard means safety. Predictability. The ability to step outside, sniff the air dramatically, and handle my business without feeling like I’m auditioning for another season of “Lost & Alone.” Could I technically be leash-walked multiple times a day in an apartment setting? Maybe. But remember — I’m a sensitive, thoughtful homebody who likes routine and controlled environments. A fenced yard gives me space to decompress without extra pressure. Do I know any commands? First of all, I prefer the term “life skills.” Yes. I know sit. Because I am a lady. And I know paw. Which is essentially me offering you my hand in a formal introduction. Very refined. Very dignified. Very “nice to meet you, please admire the fluff.” So yes, I know sit. I know paw. And I absolutely have the capacity to learn more. Just remember: I respond best to kindness, patience, and the understanding that I am choosing to cooperate with you. Am I potty trained? Yes. Because I am a civilized woman. Have I been kenneled? Also yes. And I am, as stated, a model citizen in it. Do I prefer being out with my people? Obviously. I did not wait half a year in a shelter to voluntarily choose isolation. But if a kennel is part of the routine, I handle it like a mature adult. Do I chew on things I shouldn’t? Excuse me? No. I am 1.5 years old. I am 73 pounds. I have survived rural independence and six months in a shelter. I am not out here gnawing on baseboards like a teething goblin. I have dignity. Do I bark? Yes. But I am not out here hosting a TED Talk every time a leaf moves. I am what you would call the strong, silent type. I speak when necessary. When there is an actual reason. When something requires commentary. And now… the part where I pretend I’m not deeply invested in you choosing me. If you want a soulful, sensitive, homebody queen who will sit politely, offer her paw like a Victorian lady, and guard your peace with quiet loyalty? I am her. Now, if you want to adopt me you need to fill out an adoption application. Yes. Paperwork. I know. Apparently they don’t just hand over 73 pounds of emotionally complex fluff to anyone who says, “Aww.” Once you apply, the rescue will send your app to my foster family — because they know me best and want to make sure its the Pyrfect fit for everyone involved. And when you are approved? You will need to pick me up in Hutchinson, KS. Fill out the app at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Come get me, your future soul dog and the one that people won't be able to stop talking about much like my namesake.

🚨 INTRODUCING: ELPHABA (yes, like the green one, but fluffier and slightly less dramatic) 🚨 (AKA: Ollie, Queen of Zoomies and Stretchy Naps™) Are you looking for a calm, quiet couch potato who spends her days napping peacefully and contemplating the meaning of life? Cool, so are we. You just won’t find her here. Elphaba is a high-energy, happy-go-lucky whirlwind of joy wrapped in fluff and curiosity. She wakes up each day like she’s just had a motivational speech from a toddler in a superhero cape. She wants to see things. Do things. Sniff things. Preferably all at once. She’s got a PhD in Inquisitiveness, a minor in Zoomies, and she specializes in “Stretchy Naps” — where she elongates her body to impossible dimensions and melts into the floor like butter on a summer sidewalk. If you’ve ever wanted a personal life coach who reminds you that the world is FULL of stuff to explore, Elphaba’s your girl. This 8-month-old, 45lb Great Pyrenees mix has all the makings of a star: high energy, endless curiosity, and an enthusiastic approach to life that includes investigating every corner of your house and then dramatically collapsing in a heap like she just finished a three-act play. Elphaba is what happens when you mix joy, caffeine, and curiosity into one big squishy marshmallow. She's absolutely happy-go-lucky, armed with endless energy and a nose that must investigate everything. Her previous adopters realized they weren’t quite ready for the full Elpahaba experience (puppy energy, grooming needs, you know—the usual fluffy gremlin stuff), so they’re kindly fostering her until she finds the right forever home. In the meantime, she’ll be perfecting her nap stretches and collecting squeaky toys like awards. Elphaba fancies herself a socialite, which is great… unless you’re her older foster sister who just wants to nap without being tackled by 45 pounds of optimism. She absolutely thrives in a multi-dog home—as long as the other dogs don’t mind having their personal space routinely violated by someone who’s just so excited to be here. She means no harm, really. She’ll happily trade her pestering for a plush toy the moment you wave one in front of her face. It’s less “bully” and more “golden retriever in a toddler’s body.” As for cats? We haven’t tested her yet, so for now we’re going to assume she’d either try to adopt them… or accidentally cause a household mutiny. Jury’s still out. Tiny humans? She’s been around them all—from babies to older kids and even a child with special needs—and she’s handled it like a champ. She thinks kids are just funny-looking puppies with snacks and sticky fingers, and honestly? She wants in. Occasionally, she needs a gentle reminder to give the youngest some space, but she’s all love and just wants to be part of the gang. New people are her jam. She greets strangers like long-lost friends, often with the kind of enthusiasm normally reserved for surprise pizza deliveries. After she’s gotten in a few full-body wiggles and a sniff or two, she settles into her “I’m your new best friend” role like it was made for her. Basically, if you’re not into extroverts who love kids, dogs, toys, and literally everyone they’ve ever met… you might want to keep scrolling. If Elphaba’s energy level were a mix of animals, she’d be somewhere between a curious fox and a golden retriever who just discovered tennis balls. She’s not bouncing off the walls 24/7—but she’s no slouch either. We’d give her a solid 8 out of 10 on the energy scale, but it’s the kind of energy that says, “I’d love a backyard adventure… but I also nap like it’s a competitive sport.” She’s got just enough oomph to keep things interesting without making you question all your life choices. In the car, she starts out like a cracked-out Jack-in-the-box, bouncing from seat to seat like she’s checking for treasure. But give her a towel, a solid five minutes, and the vague hope of snacks, and she settles down like a seasoned road-tripper. Long drives? She’s golden. On leash? Believe it or not, this girl has manners. After some good ol’ leash training, she walks like she’s campaigning for neighborhood mayor—confident, polite, and maybe just a little nosey. She’s not dragging you to Mordor or pancaking in protest. She’s just vibing. As for her sense of adventure? She’s still deciding. One minute she’s channeling Dora the Explorer, determined to sniff every inch of the yard, and the next she’s doing her best impersonation of a throw pillow. Right now, we’d classify her as a young, mildly adventurous, and super inquisitive soul. Temperament-wise, she’s the happy-go-lucky golden retriever spirit stuffed into a Great Pyrenees mix body and a strong passion for whatever you’re doing, plus whatever she’s doing, plus whatever might be happening three houses over. She is the dog equivalent of “Yes, and?”—always ready to jump into the next activity with unearned confidence and full tail-wag commitment. Her hobbies? Oh, honey. She is the reigning queen of plush toy destruction. Got a new stuffed squeaky friend? Not for long. She will lovingly carry it to her lair (aka the living room) and perform emergency fluff removal like it’s her life’s mission. Her toy basket is her pride and joy, and yes, she does know when a new toy has entered the premises. She’s not here for apartment life. She absolutely needs a fenced yard to burn off the crazy, no offense to your patio, but Elphaba needs a real yard to thrive. That said, she’s happiest when her day includes a good walk where she can pretend she’s starring in an indie film and sniff every leaf like it’s a potential Oscar winner. In short: Elphaba is your girl if you want a hilarious, high-energy fluffball with equal parts fun, charm, and cuddle. And if you’ve got a sense of humor, a fenced yard, and a plush toy budget, she’s ready to move in. Elphaba? Potty trained like a pro, thank you very much. She knows the difference between your living room rug and the great outdoors, and she’s not about to embarrass herself with any rookie mistakes. At night, she puts herself to bed like the responsible adult she absolutely isn’t the rest of the day. Her crate? Oh, she loves it—treats it like a spa retreat with memory foam. During the day though? She’s out and about living her best uncrated life, supervising your every move like the nosey fluffball she is. Now, let’s talk puppy-proofing—because while Elphaba may sleep like an angel and pee where she’s supposed to, don’t let that fluffy innocence fool you. She’s still very much a puppy. So yes, your house will need to be puppy-proofed unless you enjoy living dangerously. Think of her as a tiny home inspector, but instead of making notes, she just drags the evidence under the bed. Elphaba isn’t exactly the neighborhood gossip. In fact, she’s more of the “silent observer who’s secretly judging everything” type. She rarely barks—like, rarely—and when she does, it’s usually just because her foster sister decided to kick off the drama first. She's not out here announcing every Amazon delivery or wind-blown leaf like she’s on HOA patrol. Inside the house? Practically mute. It’s almost suspicious how quiet she is… like she’s planning something. But rest assured, it’s probably just which toy she’s going to disembowel next. So, if you’ve made it this far and you’re still thinking, “Yes, I do want a plushie-shredding, nap-stretching, low-key genius in a floofy disguise,” then congratulations—you might just be Elphaba’s person. But fair warning: she doesn’t come with a delivery option. You’ll need to physically transport yourself to Tahlequah, Oklahoma to collect your new favorite roommate. No broomsticks, no flying monkeys—just you, a car, and an adoption application. 📝 Apply here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Go ahead. Adopt the floof. Your throw pillows were getting too comfortable anyway.
