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.

Meet Jackson — the dog version of a warm cup of cocoa on a cold day. He’s gentle, soothing, and somehow makes everything feel calmer the moment he’s around. Jackson has a way of fitting perfectly into family life, especially one with kids. He’s patient in that soft, unspoken way, happy to be part of the noise without ever adding to it. He’s the kind of dog who watches over little ones like it’s his most important job, content to sit nearby, tail gently wagging, making sure everyone’s okay. If your family is looking for a dog who brings peace, warmth, and an endless supply of quiet affection, Jackson is ready to step into that role and never look back. Jackson is a 2–3-year-old, 100-pound Great Pyrenees mix who is essentially the living, breathing stuffed animal you always wanted as a kid. Just...you know....giant and life-sized. Jackson came to us after he somehow ended up in the shelter. How someone could let go of a gem like him...we will never understand, but their loss is your gain. Let’s talk about Jackson in social situations, because for a 100-pound Great Pyrenees mix, he is shockingly unproblematic. With other dogs, he’s not trying to run the group chat or start drama — if another dog comes in hot with big opinions, Jackson is immediately like, “Sir, absolutely not worth arguing over,” and politely submits. He genuinely likes other dogs and is perfectly happy to coexist, but his favorite thing is backyard playtime with his buddy Lee, where the vibes are mutual and no one’s trying to prove anything. Zero toxic masculinity. Just good clean fun. Cats? Shockingly, Jackson seems to have missed the memo that some dogs are supposed to care. The cats he’s encountered at the shelter and the vet were met with a calm, indifferent “oh… you exist” response. No fixation, no prey drive theatrics, no unhinged staring contest. Now, kids — this is where Jackson truly shines. Despite being the size of a small refrigerator, he is painfully gentle. He adores kids, follows them around like it’s his full-time job, and happily plops down with his massive paws in their laps like he’s convinced he’s a lap dog. He takes pets politely, moves carefully, and somehow manages to be soft and sweet with tiny humans who are very much not known for grace. He is patient, tolerant, and deeply affectionate — the kind of dog parents dream about when they say they want a “family dog.” Meeting new people is equally low-drama. Jackson is not a barker, a jumper, or a chaotic welcome committee. Instead, he greets strangers by quietly orbiting them in slow, polite circles until someone notices him and starts petting. No barking announcement. No body slams. Just a hopeful wag and a subtle, “Hello, yes, I live here, please acknowledge me.” Once he’s been properly greeted, he’s perfectly content to hang out nearby, soaking up affection without demanding it. Jackson’s energy level sits at a very respectable 6 out of 10, which translates to: he wakes up ready to seize the day, remembers halfway through that naps exist, and then adjusts his schedule accordingly. He’s not bouncing off the walls, but he’s also not filing paperwork for early retirement. Morning comes with a little pep, the rest of the day comes with vibes. At heart, Jackson is absolutely a homebody. His dream day involves laying in bed with his person, supervising life from a comfortable spot, and maybe taking a casual backyard romp if the mood strikes. He enjoys fresh air and playtime, but his soul is firmly rooted in “home is where my people are.” Adventures are fine, but only after a formal discussion and preferably with a return-to-bed guarantee. His favorite activities include laying on the bed like it’s his office, playing in the backyard with one of his doggie companions, Lee, chewing on a bone with great seriousness, and being wherever his people are. Toys are fine, play is fun, but companionship is the real prize. Jackson would likely thrive with a securely fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and relax, but with time and patience, he could adapt to a leash-walk lifestyle as well. He’s not anti-walk — he just needs to be convinced it’s his idea. Jackson has this whole “responsible adult dog” thing pretty dialed in. Jackson is potty trained, which means he understands the basic social contract of indoor living and has zero interest in ruining your floors. When it comes to being kenneled, Jackson is shockingly reasonable for a 100-pound dog. Destructive chewing is not part of his résumé. Your shoes, furniture, and belongings are safe. HOWEVER. Jackson does have opinions about unattended opportunities. He will absolutely drink from the toilet like it’s a five-star hydration station. He sniffs counters with clear curiosity, like he’s casing the joint, but has not yet crossed into full counter-surfing criminal activity. Human food theft? Yes, he would love to try. No shame. No regrets. Barking-wise, he’s mostly quiet. He may join in if his dog friend Lee starts barking in the yard, because teamwork makes the dream work. Occasionally he’ll bark inside if he believes there’s something worth alerting you about. That said, he is absolutely not a nonstop neighborhood commentator. The most important thing to know about Jackson is this: he is genuinely one of the sweetest, gentlest souls you’ll ever meet. He’s calm, kind, affectionate, and absolutely built to be a family dog. He adores kids, thrives on companionship, and brings a steady, comforting presence into the home. He’s big, soft, loving, and ready to be someone’s forever best decision. Jackson is ready to be someone’s best decision. If you’d like to adopt this very good boy, you’ll need to fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app so we can send it over to his foster family — because yes, there is a process, and yes, Jackson is worth the paperwork. Once approved, you’ll need to come pick up your new best friend in Yukon, OK, where he will be waiting patiently, probably wondering why it took you so long to find him. Apply responsibly. Adopt lovingly. Bring a leash. Jackson is ready when you are. 🐾💙
