Akbash puppies and dogs in Tulsa, Oklahoma

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.

Somewhere between a windswept moor, a coming-of-age novel, and a tiny fluffy philosopher dramatically staring out a window watching the rain fall… you’ll find Brontë. Brontë is a sweet, playful little soul with the perfect mix of curiosity and tenderness. She’s brave enough to venture off and inspect the world on her own, but still sensitive enough to come back and make sure you’re nearby when the universe feels a little too big. She observes everything with those thoughtful eyes. Basically, if you’ve ever wanted a puppy who feels like she belongs in a classic novel but still occasionally forgets how gravity works, Brontë may be your girl. 📍 Location: Tulsa, OK -Adopters will need to come pick up their new furry family member themselves. Apply at: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Brontë is a 9 week old, 7 lb female Great Pyrenees mix, and frankly, her backstory sounds less like a puppy rescue and more like the opening chapter of a gothic novel someone wrote during a thunderstorm. She was found abandoned in a cemetery. Yes. An actual cemetery. Alongside her siblings Eliot and Wilde. You read that correctly. A cemetery. Somewhere out there, an English literature professor just got goosebumps and doesn’t know why. From there, the trio landed in an overcrowded shelter where dogs just kept pouring in faster than space could be made. With no room left, these babies soon found themselves on death row before they were even old enough to understand what safety was supposed to feel like. Thankfully, a foster family stepped in just in time and gave them the second chance they deserved. But the universe apparently looked at these puppies and said, “What if we added one more tragic chapter?” because shortly after arriving in foster care, parvo struck. All three puppies became critically ill and had to be hospitalized. And yet…Brontë fought. Hard. Underneath her soft puppy fluff is a brave little soul who refused to quit. She battled her way through parvo like the determined heroine she is, and now she’s back to doing what puppies should be doing: bringing joy, smiles, kisses, and just a touch of adorable nonsense to her foster family every single day. She’s the kind of puppy who survived the hard parts without losing her softness. And that’s something pretty special. Brontë approaches social situations like a tiny Victorian lady attending her first society ball. She stands back for approximately seven seconds to observe the drama, evaluate the vibes, and silently judge everyone’s life choices… and then suddenly she jumps right in. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and especially enjoys playing with her siblings. She’s not usually the one starting the nonsense, but she absolutely believes in supporting the nonsense once it’s underway. When it comes to kids, however, Brontë has already decided they are magical tiny humans specifically created to play with her. She’s been around 7 and 9 year olds and thought they were absolutely delightful. She was playful, silly, affectionate, and fully prepared to join whatever adventure they were inventing at the moment. Meeting new people? She does great, although she can be just a touch cautious at first — but only because her sister apparently enters every room like she’s campaigning for public office. Compared to that level of confidence, Brontë is the thoughtful introvert in the family. She may pause briefly to assess new people before deciding they are acceptable…and then she’s all in for cuddles, kisses, and tiny puppy antics. Cats are currently a mystery. Much like the ending of several classic novels, we simply do not know how that storyline develops yet. Brontë’s energy level is about a 6/10. She absolutely has adventure potential, but in a very “I will accompany my emotional support human to the ends of the earth” kind of way. Brontë feels less like an independent wilderness explorer and more like the loyal sidekick in a period drama who quietly follows the main character into danger while wondering if maybe everyone could’ve just stayed home with snacks instead. Temperament-wise, Brontë is sweet, playful, observant, and just brave enough to investigate suspicious activity independently before reporting back to headquarters. She’s the puppy equivalent of someone peeking around a corner in a scary movie going, “Hello? …this seems questionable.” She has a sensitive little soul under all that fluff. She thinks about things. She processes the world carefully before fully committing herself to the nonsense. Baths are handled with cautious professionalism. She tolerates them well, although she does appear mildly confused by the concept of standing in water while simultaneously trying to drink it. Like a tiny fuzzy scientist conducting hydration research against her will. And toys? Oh yes. Toys are wonderful. Toys are enrichment. Toys are entertainment. Toys are also apparently meant to be carried around proudly like she personally hunted and conquered them in the wild. Overall, Brontë feels like the kind of puppy who could happily spend the day adventuring with you and then immediately come home, curl up nearby, and stare at you lovingly like you just survived war together because you went to Tractor Supply. Now, while Brontë is absolutely adorable and emotionally convincing enough to make you forget every ounce of common sense you’ve ever had, it is important to remember that she is still very much a baby. A fluffy little infant with paws. Socialization will be especially important for Brontë because she has that thoughtful, observant personality. She’s brave and curious, but continuing to expose her positively to new people, places, sounds, animals, and experiences will help her grow into a confident, well-rounded adult instead of a dramatic neighborhood security consultant barking because someone sneezed in another zip code. Training should be approached with patience, humor, and realistic expectations. This is a Pyrenees mix, which means there is a very high chance she will hear your commands, understand your commands, and then calmly decide whether your ideas align with her personal beliefs. Obedience with Pyrs is less “yes sir” and more “thank you for your suggestion; I will review it and circle back.” The good news is that beneath all the puppy nonsense is a genuinely wonderful little dog with a sweet heart, a thoughtful personality, and so much potential. She just needs a family willing to help guide her through the “tiny adorable hooligan” phase into the amazing companion she’s clearly meant to become. If you’re looking for a puppy with personality, resilience, softness, and just enough dramatic literary energy to make life more entertaining, Brontë would love to meet you. Now before anyone starts typing “OMG I WANT HER” directly into the Facebook comments like that legally binding somehow… please remember you need to actually fill out an adoption application first so we can send it along to her foster family for review. 📍Brontë is being fostered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and adopters will need to come pick her up there. No, she cannot drive herself home. Apply to adopt here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app And as always, if you can’t adopt, PLEASE share her post. Facebook likes to hide rescue dogs from the world unless enough people poke the algorithm with a stick first.

Meet Sweet Cream — the puppy equivalent of that overpriced iced coffee you absolutely didn’t need but emotionally required anyway. She’s soft, comforting, mildly addictive, and somehow makes every day feel a little less terrible. If “gentle soul with a side of whipped cream energy” were a personality type, congratulations, you’ve found it. Sweet Cream isn’t here to cause drama. She’s here to quietly melt into your lap, stare at you with those soft puppy eyes like you personally hung the moon, and make you question why you ever thought your couch belonged to you. She’s sweet without being over-the-top, affectionate without being clingy, and gentle in the kind of way that makes people immediately start talking in a ridiculous baby voice against their will. 📍 Location: Hutchinson, KS -Adopters will need to come pick up their new furry family member themselves. Apply here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Sweet Cream is a 3 month old, 26lb female Great Pyrenees who recently joined the Pyr Paws N Fluffy Tails family after finding herself stuck in a shelter with her sister, Vanilla Bean. Life had not exactly rolled out the red carpet in their short time on this planet, and the shelter environment had them absolutely petrified. Because they were shy and unsure, they kept getting overlooked. Which, frankly, seems crazy to me considering Sweet Cream looks like someone brought a cloud to life and gave it giant puppy feet. The shelter reached out for help, and honestly… who was going to look at that face and say, “No thanks, I prefer less emotional fluff in my life”? Certainly not us. So into the fluffy butt family they came. Now before you fall madly in love, you should know that Pyrs are sensitive little weirdos wrapped in clouds. They feel emotions deeply, hold grudges dramatically, and often approach new situations like suspicious Victorian widows solving a murder mystery. Sweet Cream is still learning that humans can be kind, couches are safe, and nobody is plotting against her during snack distribution. But underneath all that is a gentle, soft-hearted puppy who simply needed someone willing to see past the fear and give her a chance to feel safe. And once she decides you’re her person? Congratulations. You now have a giant emotionally attached cloud following you to the bathroom forever. Sweet Cream approaches other dogs the same way someone approaches a trendy coffee shop in a new town… cautiously, quietly, and while pretending she’s “just looking” before eventually deciding maybe this place does, in fact, have good vibes. She’s a little shy at first, but once she realizes nobody is going to hurt her or force her into some kind of WWE puppy match, she starts warming up beautifully. She’d be absolutely perfect for a calmer dog who enjoys companionship but also appreciates personal space and emotional boundaries. You know… the kind of dog who wants a sibling, not a tiny furry WWE opponent permanently attached to their face like an overcaffeinated goblin chewing on ears, tails, and dignity 24/7. Sweet Cream is much more of a “let’s peacefully coexist, maybe play a little, then take a group nap” kind of girl. Sweet Cream has not yet had the opportunity to meet a cat, though we suspect she would probably stare at one respectfully from across the room like someone trying to understand an extremely judgmental barista. Sweet Cream has been around kids and does well, though she can initially be a little shy. Once she settles in, however, her main life goal becomes obtaining as much affection as physically possible. She very much enjoys love, pets, attention, and emotional validation. Which honestly, same. Her Energy Level is a 6/10. Sweet Cream is basically the canine version of a medium iced latte — enough energy to keep life interesting, but not so much that you suddenly find yourself questioning every decision that led you to owning her. She enjoys playing, exploring, and participating in puppy activities, but she’s not out here training for the Puppy Olympics. She understands the importance of balancing zoomies with quality relaxation time. Adventure-Seeker or Homebody? At this stage, Sweet Cream is still very much a baby marshmallow figuring out the world, so she could honestly go either direction. Want a puppy to tag along for adventures? She’d probably happily join you once she feels safe. Prefer a cozy homebody lifestyle full of couch cuddles and emotionally supportive staring? Also acceptable. Overall Temperament: Sweet Cream is exactly what her name suggests — sweet, gentle, comforting, and impossible not to adore. She has a soft, reserved nature and tends to approach life thoughtfully rather than barging into situations like a toddler who just discovered pixie sticks. Once she feels comfortable, though, she becomes an affectionate little lovebug who wants closeness, reassurance, and plenty of pets. She’s the kind of puppy who quietly steals your heart while pretending she wasn’t trying to. Sweet Cream enjoys toys and has discovered that water can, in fact, be entertaining instead of a personal betrayal. Like most puppies, she’s still learning about the world and what qualifies as “fun,” but she’s happy to participate in both playtime and splash time as long as nobody expects her to pay taxes or make adult decisions. As adorable as Sweet Cream is, we would like to formally remind everyone that she is still a puppy. A very cute puppy, yes. A gentle puppy, absolutely. But still a tiny fluffy intern with limited life experience and approximately three collective brain cells dedicated to making good decisions. Her future family will need to continue working on all the normal puppy things — potty training, leash training, socialization, basic manners, and teaching her that not every household item is an emotional support chew toy. Right now, she’s in the “the world is big and I’m still processing it” stage, so patient guidance and positive experiences are going to be incredibly important for helping her grow into a confident adult dog. Socialization will be especially important for her since she can initially be reserved. She needs a family committed to gently introducing her to new people, places, sounds, and experiences so she learns the world is not, in fact, a giant haunted coffee shop full of suspicious strangers. So if you’re looking for a fluffy little best friend who enjoys cuddles, companionship, occasional puppy antics, and respectfully existing beside you while you pretend to be productive… Sweet Cream would very much like to submit her application for the position. Now, for the important grown-up business portion nobody likes but everyone must endure: If you would like to adopt Sweet Cream, you need to fill out an adoption application so we can send it over to her foster family for review. Please do not simply manifest ownership through vibes and Facebook comments like “OMG NEED.” Unfortunately, that is not legally binding. Also, Sweet Cream is being fostered in Hutchinson, KS, and adopters will need to travel there to pick her up. She does not offer same-day Prime shipping, drone delivery, teleportation, or complimentary personal chauffeur services. The tiny fluffy cloud can be yours… but you must come retrieve your emotional support pupuppuccino in person. Apply here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app
