Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.We see so many dogs being given away for free on FB, Toby was one of them. Fortunately for him we were able to find a foster to take him. He was scheduled to be neutered just 2 days after getting to his foster home but once there it was found that he was too sick to have any kind of surgery. Toby was full of worms and parasites! Poor guy.  He's spent the last couple of weeks on meds getting healthy, will be getting his shots and once healthy enough will be neutered and ready for his forever home.  This stunning blue eyed boy is a love! Great with other dogs and adores all people. Just no chickens for this floof! ;) His foster mom has been working with him on his walks, up until now he hasn't had much experience with that. He's also afraid of loud noises. That includes loud kiddos, squeaker toys, and other loud barking dogs. He's adjusting well to his foster home though and could be he just needs a few weeks to settle in. We'll know more soon so check back!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 12, 2024, 4:10 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Albi was almost euthanized for just doing his job, being a protector. This boy needs a home where his dedication will be appreciated, he takes his job seriously!  Albi enjoys his time on the couch but is also a great patroller! He's very protective of his space and you will be incredibly safe with this boy on duty! He loves his walks and is learning not to pull so much. He could potentially live with cats but needs very slow intros and will chase those that run. He is good with other dogs with proper intros. He needs to live far from a road, he doesn't like cars and will chase, his foster mom is working with him on that. Albi has been in his foster home for over a year now and his foster mom knows him very well. He has bonded very closely with our girl Savannah and we are looking for an adopter who will take the 2 of them together.  Albi has been working on his food aggression for some time and has made improvements but it's still best to feed separately. This boy is a true guardian, he wants to protect his people and his property. He and Savannah are a great pair and will be a great addition for just the right home!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 8, 2025, 2:00 pm

She makes great use of the doggy door! She also loves the comforts of home, a nice nap on the couch is a great afternoon past time.  This beautiful girl would be a great floof to add to any family!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Zack is a big sweet goof of a boy and bonded to our girl Lucy. They are an old married couple and they must be adopted together. We will be extremely selective about where these 2 go, with all that they've been through.  After their owner suddenly passed away they were faced with euthanasia. We had just a couple of days to find a place to get them safe, and thank goodness a wonderful foster stepped up! Zack gets along with all dogs and cats and is just a happy go lucky boy wherever he goes.  He is being fostered with Lucy in MT.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 20, 2025, 3:39 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sokka came to our rescue when he was taken to the shelter after being found left in an apartment alone for 10 days. In spite of that he was incredibly sweet, loved everyone he met and was happy to play with some doggy friends in his foster home. When his foster family had additional family with their own dogs moving into their home, it was time for Sokka to find a new foster home. His new foster mom quickly fell for him and there was talk of foster failing. Things changed for Sokka, who had been renamed Owen, when he protected his mom from a dog attack, he took his job seriously and kept her safe but by doing so it affected him, mentally, and he hasn't been the same boy since. Owen's foster mom now feels he'd do better in a different home so we are now looking for a very special place for him. The boy who used to love doggy friends now seems to be very scared and unsure. The boy who never met a person he didn't instantly love, is now very cautious and fearful. So we are looking for a quiet, low key home for Owen where he can learn to trust, feel safe again. Have a backyard to soak up the sun, or the snow. Also a very committed foster or adopter who will work consistently with our behaviorist to help Owen through the trauma he experienced. This is no small ask we know. But he deserves nothing less!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.When we were contacted by the shelter about a young girl who had already had a litter of puppies, we begged for a foster to get her out and safe so she would never be used for breeding again. And that is how Bessie came to GPRRUM.  Now known as Nala, so sweet and loves other dogs. She is learning car rides are ok! Nala is learning how to be a great guardian with the older Pyrs teaching her the ropes. This girl is a love! She adores people. She is being fostered in Idaho, transport is available to nearby states.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 15, 2025, 7:21 pm

Story
Meet Andre – Your Big, Fluffy Shadow of LoveWho says love only comes in small packages? Sometimes it comes in an 85-pound bundle of fluff with soulful eyes and a heart full of snuggles. My name is Andre, and at 6.5 years old, I'm basically a living, breathing teddy bear looking for a forever cuddle buddy (or a whole family of them!).I might be a Great Pyrenees mix—or maybe just a mix of pure adorable—but one thing’s for sure: I’m all about love, loyalty, and snack time. My dream life? Taking walks with my people, playing tug with a furry sibling, keeping watch like the noble guardian I am, and most importantly… snuggling away your loneliness.I know some cool stuff already—like “sit,” “touch,” and “down”—but I’m eager to keep learning! I’m new to the whole 'living indoors with a family' thing, so I’ll need a little guidance as I adjust. What I lack in experience, I make up for in heart and devotion. Honestly, I’d be a fantastic emotional support buddy—I truly need to be near my humans. What if they need a hug and I’m not there??Here’s what I’m looking for:A home with a fenced yard (because zoomies happen).A family without small kiddos—I can be a bit enthusiastic when treats or snuggles are on the line!A confident, playful dog friend would be amazing!Humans who appreciate big love in a big package.I’m affectionate, smart, protective, and full of joy—just waiting for someone to share it all with. If you’re ready for a devoted companion who will love you with everything he’s got, let’s meet.Andre is ready to melt your heart—one snuggle at a time.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
