Meet Tamryn - a 7-month old sweetheart who her foster affectionately calls her Annie. Tamryn is an affectionate, gentle girl who loves being close to her people and her foster brother Obie. She gives the sweetest kisses and even has the classic "Pyr paw,", gently reaching out for affection or to let you know she'd like a little more attention. She's also wonderfully quiet. She rarely barks, even when Obie sounds the alarm, and when she does bark, she settles quickly when asked. Tamryn enjoys her daily walks with Obie and is already quite good on leash with little pulling. She loves the water and happily wades in the small creek near her foster home - enough for some fun without getting too messy. Despite those impressive big paws, Tamryn doesn't seem to be growing into a giant dog. Maybe she'll be a little "pocket Pyr," although at 7 months old she has some growing to do. She really enjoys the company of other dogs. She requires a playful companion in her new home. She lights up and loves to frolic with neighborhood dogs who stop by. Tamryn lives peacefully with a senior cat. Crate training is still a work in progress. Tamryn hasn't decided the crate is her favorite place yet, although she'll happily venture inside to retrieve her beloved toys. She loves chew time - marrow bones, pig ears, toys and pretty much every treat she's tried. She isn't hugely food motivated, but she has learned that sitting politely is a great way to earn a treat. At night, Tamryn is a dream. When it's bedtime, the foster closes the door and she settles right onto her own bed. In the evenings, Tamryn is equally content to relax with her fosters while they watch TV, quietly working on one of her chew toys. A daily walk helps make for an especially happy napper and a great night's sleep. Car rides are getting better, although Tamryn needs some more experience and patience to become a happy traveler. Tamryn is still very much a puppy - silly, sweet and adorably bendy, sometimes seeming more like spaghetti than a dog. Tamryn loves affection, companionship, exploring outside and being part of whatever her foster family is doing. Her foster fell in love with this special girl very quickly, and easy to imagine her bringing the same joy to her forever family. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate, quieter pup who enjoys other animals, daily adventures and plenty of together time, Tamryn may be your girl.

Our requirements for puppy adoptions are simple and necessary.
Our puppies are not livestock guardians, they are family pets that live inside of the family home.
Puppies must be placed in homes with a youthful, adult resident dog of similar size. This gives the puppy a mentor and a solid foundation for becoming part of the family.
Puppies are only adopted to homes with someone at home at least part of the day. If no one is home for 6-8 hours at a time, please do not apply.
Preference is always given to those with Great Pyrenees experience.
Applicants must have secure, visible fencing and a socialization plan in place.
The fastest way to be considered for a puppy is to fill out an application. Adoption is not first come, first served. GPRS and its fosters work diligently to find the right fit for each and every unique dog and puppy.
Applicant's personal pets must be current on vaccines & heartworm/flea prevention and be altered.
Adoption fee: $450 (Adoption fee includes spay or neuter, distemper/parvo vaccines, flea preventative, deworming, and health certificate for travel). Adopters pay the cost of transport services outside of Texas area. Transport costs depend on location and company used. Northeast transport fee is $200.
