📖 THE OFFICIAL SANDRA DIAZ-TWINE HANDBOOK 📍 Pickup Location: Broken Arrow, Oklahoma Adopters will need to come pick up their new furry family member themselves. 📝 Apply here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Congratulations! You are now reading the official handbook for Sandra Diaz-Twine, a 3-month-old, 22-pound female Great Pyrenees mix. Before operating your Sandra, please familiarize yourself with the following important information. Sandra came to PPFT when she was only about a week old, after her mama—who had been abandoned—wandered up to someone’s home and gave birth. So while most one-week-old puppies were busy concentrating on extremely demanding newborn responsibilities such as eating, sleeping, and being shaped vaguely like a potato, Sandra and her siblings were already starting over. Thankfully, those days are behind her. Sandra is now bigger, fluffier, considerably more mobile, and has appointed herself Assistant Manager of Whatever You’re Doing. Your Sandra comes equipped with: -Four legs specifically designed to follow you around the yard. -One extremely curious brain that needs to know what you're doing. -22 pounds of puppy with considerably more pounds scheduled for installation. -A playful personality that assumes whatever you're doing probably involves her. -Great Pyrenees genetics, meaning future opinions are almost certainly included. Sandra's ideal home is best described as: Somewhere things happen. She doesn't require a family that is scaling mountains before breakfast, kayaking at lunch, and running a casual half-marathon before dinner. Her energy level sits around a 6/10, so she has a nice balance. But Sandra definitely seems like the kind of puppy who could grow into an adventure buddy. She is adventurous. She isn't intimidated by much. Basically, if Sandra sees a large rock on a future hiking trail, there is an excellent chance her first thought will be: "I bet I can get on top of that." And then you will have approximately three seconds to prepare yourself before she attempts it. Once she's old enough for longer adventures, her foster family thinks she could really enjoy hiking and exploring with her people. But Sandra doesn't require nonstop entertainment, either. Give her a bone and somewhere comfortable to hang out, and she's perfectly capable of enjoying a quiet evening at home. The important distinction here is: Sandra can relax. Sandra probably cannot be expected to spend every waking hour with absolutely nothing to do and continue making responsible life choices. Because boredom + intelligent puppy = Sandra creates her own enrichment program. And management would like to make it abundantly clear that you may not enjoy the activities she selects. Sandra has conducted extensive research into several forms of water. SPRINKLER: Excellent. 10/10. HOSE: Also excellent. KIDDIE POOL: Approved. ACTUAL SWIMMING POOL: Sandra has reviewed the proposal and declined to participate. Apparently there is a very specific amount of water Sandra considers recreational, and the swimming pool has exceeded the approved limit. Sandra likes toys. She likes bones. She likes playing. Fetch remains an undetermined feature, mostly because nobody has gathered sufficient data regarding whether Sandra believes retrieving something you deliberately threw away is a sensible use of her time. Sandra LOVES kids. So a family with children could be a fantastic fit for this happy, social girl. Given her confidence, playfulness, and desire to be involved in absolutely everything, Sandra would probably be delighted to discover that her new home comes equipped with small humans who also enjoy doing unnecessary things in the yard. Sandra has spent her entire life surrounded by littermates, so another playful dog in her forever home would likely be a huge bonus. Now, Sandra considers every dog a friend. Thankfully, Sandra actually does a good job respecting boundaries once another dog tells her they're not interested. But will she occasionally attempt negotiations first? Absolutely. Dog: "No." Sandra: "Okay, but have you considered that I'm adorable?" Dog: "Still no." Sandra: "What if I approach from this angle?" Dog: GRUMBLE. Sandra: "Understood. I will be over here should you reconsider." She isn't looking for trouble. She simply has tremendous confidence in her ability to convince the grumpy members of society that they're making a terrible mistake by not befriending her. Sandra has not met cats yet. Some puppies meet a new person and think: "Who are you? Why are you here? I require time to process this." Sandra meets a new person and thinks: "Excellent. Another person who can pet me." She is confident when meeting new people and naturally assumes they have been looking forward to this moment. And really, why wouldn't they be? Please remember proper Sandra greeting etiquette: Step One: Meet Sandra. Step Two: Pet Sandra. Step Three: Congratulations, you followed instructions. Failure to complete Step Two may result in Sandra staring at you as though you're the first person in history to misunderstand how introductions work. Sandra has currently completed approximately one official walk. Sandra apparently did not realize that "going for a walk" meant attaching a leash to her body and then expecting her to simply proceed like this was a perfectly normal arrangement. But once the rest of the pack got moving, Sandra realized: "Ohhhh. We're ALL doing this." And off she went. She settled into the walk very nicely and followed the pack. Because she's still young and Oklahoma has apparently decided the outdoors should resemble the surface of the sun, about 0.75 miles was plenty for her. For a first outing? Pretty darn good. Does Sandra chew things she shouldn't. Her foster's answer "She is a puppy. We feel this is both extremely concise and legally sufficient. Sandra is three months old. The world is her oyster. Sandra is doing really well with potty training for her age. Sandra currently knows sit. Overall, Sandra is one of those puppies who seems to have received an extra scoop of confidence at the factory. She's smart. She's playful. She's adventurous. She adores kids. She enjoys other dogs and would probably love having a canine buddy. She likes water—as long as we're discussing Sandra-approved quantities of water. She follows her people around because whatever they're doing is obviously worth investigating. She's confident with strangers because strangers are really just future Sandra fans who haven't completed orientation yet. Now, if you have read the entire handbook about Sandra, fallen hopelessly in love with Sandra, mentally purchased Sandra a hiking harness, assigned Sandra a spot on the couch, and possibly informed your current dog that they're getting a sibling its time to fill out the adoption app. Commenting "WANT!" does not count. Sending us a message saying "Is she available?" does not count. Telling us that you have "always wanted a fluffy white dog" does not count. Tagging your spouse with "BABE 😭😭😭" is an important first step in household negotiations, but regrettably…also not an application. You must actually submit an adoption application for Sandra Diaz-Twine. Once you do, and if your application is received, we can send it over to Sandra's foster family so they can review it and determine whether Sandra agrees that your household deserves the privilege of becoming her permanent tribe. And before anyone asks: 🚗 Sandra's pickup location is Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

📖 THE OFFICIAL HAMILTON HANDBOOK 📍 Pickup Location: Jones, Oklahoma Adopters will need to come pick up their new furry family member themselves. 📝 Apply here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Meet Hamilton, a 7.5-year-old, 116lb male Great Pyrenees mix who has reached that magical stage of life where he has figured out something the rest of us are still working on: most things simply are not worth getting worked up about. Hamilton is what we would describe as a happy, fairly calm guy. He does not have a packed social calendar, a 12-step morning routine, or an urgent need to involve himself in everyone else’s business. Hamilton is simply… Hamilton. He wakes up. He exists. He enjoys himself. He probably observes whatever nonsense the humans are doing with the quiet judgment of a man who has been on this earth long enough to know that we'll eventually tire ourselves out. At 7.5 years old, Hamilton has left his wild college years behind him. He’s entered his “I have a favorite chair and would appreciate it if you stopped moving it” era. He still has plenty of life and love to give, but he’s bringing the seasoned-gentleman energy rather than the “I ate a drywall corner because nobody was looking at me for eleven seconds” energy. Unfortunately, Hamilton recently found himself needing a new chapter through absolutely no fault of his own. His beloved owner was hospitalized and is now transitioning into long-term care, leaving Hamilton in need of a new family to call his own. After years of being someone’s beloved boy, his whole world has suddenly changed. And while we can’t explain to him why everything is different, we can make sure the next chapter is worthy of him. So, naturally, we have assembled The Official Hamilton Handbook—because if this handsome gentleman is going to find himself a new family, they should probably know exactly what kind of treasure they’re signing up for. Spoiler alert: it’s a pretty darn good one. ❤️ Hamilton’s dream home is actually pretty straightforward: a securely fenced yard, plenty of room for all 100+ pounds of him, and humans who understand that leaving the house without him is, frankly, suspicious behavior. This big guy would LOVE a home with a large yard or even some land where he can mosey around, conduct routine perimeter inspections, sniff whatever requires sniffing, and enjoy the great outdoors. That said, please do not mistake this for Hamilton requesting an outdoorsy lifestyle. Absolutely not. Hamilton enjoys outside in the same way many of us enjoy vacation: lovely place to visit, but eventually we would like to return to the air conditioning and lie down. With an energy level around a 4/10, Hamilton is ultimately a laid-back, lazy indoor gentleman. He'll happily accompany you on an adventure, but he is equally enthusiastic about returning home afterward and recovering from the tremendous hardship of having done things. A securely fenced yard is required, and we do mean secure. Hamilton has been known to clear shorter fences, because apparently being 116 pounds does not prevent one from briefly identifying as a gazelle. There is one particularly important piece of the Hamilton puzzle: this boy has separation anxiety. Hamilton LOVES his people. Capital letters are necessary here. He doesn’t simply enjoy your company; he would prefer that the two of you enter into a legally binding agreement stating that you will never vanish from his sight again. When left alone, Hamilton can become extremely anxious. He currently free-roams because kenneling is very much NOT listed among Hamilton’s hobbies. He would thrive with someone who is home most of the time—someone who works from home, is retired, has a household where people are frequently coming and going, or otherwise lives a lifestyle where Hamilton doesn’t regularly spend long stretches alone. Basically, Hamilton is searching for a stage-five-clinger-compatible household. If you've ever wished your dog were more emotionally invested in whether you went to Walmart without him, congratulations. Hamilton gets along well with dogs of all sizes and has been nicely socialized. Is he going to spend six hours wrestling with your resident dog and launching himself over the furniture? No. Hamilton is 7.5 years old. He has meetings tomorrow. He tends to greet other dogs, exchange the appropriate canine pleasantries, and then go about his business. He isn't much of a player and generally prefers peacefully coexisting over participating in WrestleMania: Living Room Edition. Hamilton has been around children of various ages and does well with them. Because he's a very large gentleman and appreciates reasonable boundaries, we think he'll be happiest with kiddos who understand dog manners and know when a dog needs a little space. But PEOPLE? Ohhhhh, Hamilton LOVES people. If you give this boy attention, congratulations—you have been selected. Hamilton does not know a stranger. Friends coming over are VERY EXCITING. New people are VERY EXCITING. Existing people returning after being gone for seven minutes are presumably ALSO VERY EXCITING. His initial enthusiasm can be a lot because, once again, there are 112 pounds of Hamilton experiencing feelings at you. Give him a little time to settle, though, and he returns to his regularly scheduled programming of being a fairly calm dude who simply wants to hang out with his people. And if you're willing to provide treats? Your promotion to Best Friend Hamilton Has Ever Had In His Entire Life will be processed immediately. After Careful Consideration, Management Has Decided We Will Not Be Expanding Into Felines. Hamilton’s current home hasn’t had any cats for him to meet, but we do have notes from his foster home prior to his adoption—and our big fluffy gentleman is a NO on cats. Hamilton is a nice mixture of adventure buddy and professional homebody. He doesn't mind heading out and seeing the world, and he's good in the car. As long as the vehicle isn't too high, he'll hop right in himself. He also does pretty well on leash. Sometimes he'll stroll right beside you like the respectable gentleman we've been describing. Other times? Hamilton remembers that he is large, powerful, and has somewhere extremely important to be. His pulling can occasionally be a lot, so his adopter should be physically comfortable handling a dog his size and willing to continue working with him on polite leash manners. He's happy to go along for adventures, but Hamilton does not require an itinerary packed with activities. Take him somewhere fun, let him sniff some things, tell him he's handsome, and then please return him to his regularly scheduled nap. Hamilton is potty trained, knows his basic commands, doesn't chew things he shouldn't, doesn't resource guard, and has no known fears or dramatic opinions about thunderstorms, vacuums, mysterious noises, or the other terrifying injustices dogs occasionally face. Toys? No thank you Fetch? Hamilton would like to know why you threw it if you wanted it back. His preferred recreational activities are apparently more sophisticated: hanging out with his people, collecting treats, receiving affection, patrolling the yard, occupying the couch, and sleeping. At night, he sleeps peacefully on the floor in the bedroom because even while unconscious, Hamilton would like confirmation that his humans have not escaped. He does bark, particularly if he sees someone outside, when the other dogs have become excessively rowdy, when he's kenneled, or—most importantly—when his person leaves. Hamilton isn't looking for someone to entertain him every waking second. He isn't asking for daily marathons. He doesn't require a mountain of toys, endless games of fetch, or a social calendar that would exhaust the average golden retriever. What Hamilton really wants is remarkably simple: His people. If you've made it this far and are currently thinking, “Well crap. I think Hamilton is my dog,” congratulations. Then it is time to fill out an adoption app. No, commenting “interested” does not summon our adoption coordinator like Beetlejuice. No, tagging your spouse seventeen times does not constitute an application. No, sending us “How much?” followed three minutes later by “???” will not expedite the process. And despite Hamilton’s willingness to move in with anyone possessing treats and functioning hands for petting him, he does not personally oversee applicant selection. We had to draw the line somewhere. 👉 Fill out an adoption application for Hamilton. Once your application has come in, we will send it to Hamilton’s foster family, because they are the ones living with this handsome refrigerator-sized gentleman and know him best. They’ll help determine whether your home and Hamilton’s particular brand of lovable clingy nonsense are a match. And one final teeny-tiny logistical detail: 📍 Hamilton is being fostered in Jones, Oklahoma, and his adopter must travel there to pick him up. Hamilton does not ship. We do not have a Great Pyrenees Prime delivery service. And unfortunately, despite his impressive dimensions, he has yet to obtain a commercial driver's license and cannot meet you halfway.

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.
