Name: Alexander Hamilton Hamilton Litt
Alexander Hamilton of the Hamilton Litter was born on October 8th. He was 1 of 9 puppies born to Mona Grace (now Maggie Grace). The litter adoption day is set for December 13th. Litter adoptions are run differently than individual puppy/dog adoptions. For litters, all approved adopters that are interested in a puppy are added to the litter list of their choosing and ordered by the date their adoption application was approved. When the puppies are between 8 and 9 weeks old, the Area Coordinator will contact the adopters on the litter list and request the adoption fee be paid. Then each adopter will get a 45 minute window to meet and choose their puppy on adoption day. If none of the puppies are a match when it's your turn to choose a puppy, your adoption fee can be transferred to another litter or refunded. But ONLY approved adopters are added to the list, so get your applications in now!

Name: Annie
House trained, crate trained, understands No and Sit. Very playful. Loves a tennis ball and thinks ice cubes are a treat. Does well on a leash. Has been great around kids of all ages. Will try and sneak on the couch when you’re not looking but gets down as soon as she is busted! Typical Pyr in that she wants to be with her people as much as possible.

Name: Arley
Arley had been kept outside in someone's back yard for the first several months of her life, but she quickly adapted to being an indoor dog. She is crate trained. She is very affectionate and loves being with her people, however we do recommend either no or older children only in the home. She does have some resource guarding with her food, so she would need to be fed separately if other animals are in the house. We noticed she was a bit clumsy and discovered she has hip dysplasia and will likely need a total hip replacement once her growth plates close. She is under 60 pounds, so definitely a "pocket Pyr". She is spayed and ready for her forever home!

Name: Artemis
This sweet little girl just came to us and we are not sure if she is not yet a year old or simply a "Pocket Pyr". She only weighs about 60 lbs and looks like she might have a bit of Saluki or Borzoi in her lineage. She has the cutest freckles on her face! She is very shy, but is with a wonderful TGPR foster family who will help her gain confidence. More soon!

Name: Aspen of the Autumn Litter
Aspen of the Autumn litter was the biggest one born to Bailey Baby. There were 12 puppies in her litter, but sadly only 5 of them were born alive. One of those didn't survive past the first week. The mom came to TGPR as a stray and was only with us 2 weeks before delivering her puppies. She was very skinny, so lack of adequate food during her pregnancy was likely the reason for the high mortality rate in her puppies. The 4 that survived will be available for adoption on December 5th. Get those applications in now!

Name: Asta
Hello I am Asta!
While I am a very small, calm and wonderful young lady (born approx 7/2017), I am still very unsure about YOU coming to me for my affection. I will walk away from you but never show any kind of aggressive behaviors. I have come quite far from where I have been (not wanting to be by anyone or in the house) also being afraid of the bicycle and the shelter. I now come through the dog door, sleep in the house on dog bed with the other dogs.
I have no problem CHOOSING to come through the dog door to you for affection especially when another dog is getting pets and love. I also will come to you when we are all outside and other dogs are interacting with you.
I do ride well in the car and am all vetted.
My foster mom says that I am at the point that I could be adopted but it has to be an individual or family that is willing to continue with my emotional growth process. This means being very patient with me and not expect too much in the beginning.
I still need time to get accustomed to a new house and family life, preferable a lesser active and quiet family.
I just want a home to call my own.
Love Asta

Name: Avalon
Avalon is a very sweet girl that gets along with other dogs, cats and loves attention from her people. She likes being indoors and sleeping on soft beds. She walks well on a leash and rides great in a vehicle. Avalon likes to "give hugs" so may need a little work if there are small children around. She is pretty thin at almost 70 pounds so will likely be around 90 pounds at her ideal weight. She did test heartworm positive, and has started on the slow kill treatment. TGPR provides the medication needed until she tests negative. This girl is an all around great dog and is ready for some lucky family to adopt her!

Name: Bailey Baby

Name: Bentley Reese
Bentley is an owner surrender from Lubbock. His family moved to an apartment and he is depressed and hasn't adjusted well. He was born on a farm about July 2018 and adopted to his previous family at 2 mos.
After first moving into the apartment, there was a period he didn't eat or drink and suffered a seizure. That has been a one time incident; the seizure showed left damage to his hind legs, showing early signs of arthritis and/or hip dysplasia. he was brought to the vet to be checked out and it doesn't appear he is epilpetic.; he can still run and go up and down stairs, but at times can lose balance easilyHe has separation anxiety and would do best in a home with humans consistently present. If left alone for too long, he will give himself hot spots.
He loves walks and is still playful like a puppy.
It is believed he was the runt of the litter and is not an alpha
He is neutered and up to date on shots.
He is not food aggressive and is believed he would do well with other dogs, big and small.

Name: Birdie
Birdie is a two to three year-old Pyr/possibly red heeler mix (has double dew claws but also lots of very cute small tan spots all over) who was found abandoned in Weatherford. Incredibly sweet, she and her foster are working on building up trust to know that being inside, humans, and leashes are okay. Once she trusts you, though, your heart is hers after the first sweet smile! 55 lbs at her last appointment, she does need to gain a few pounds but is definitely a “pocket Pyr.” Birdie loves playing with her foster’s Pyr and ignores her foster’s cats, and would have liked to play with her finder’s small dogs but they did not feel the same. Not tested with children yet, but with her gentle demeanor she should do just fine. Might do best with older children as loud noises are startling right now.

Name: Buttercup
Buttercup (MEDICAL HOLD) is a wonderful name for a smaller Pyr mix girl who is the definition of sweetness. This lovely puppy is a happy and affectionate girl. Sadly, she was born with malformations in her hips and spine and shoulder joints. These caused her to be in pain. The shoulders were successfully repaired in summer 2020. Total hip replacement surgery of the right hip was performed on 13 October 2020. Buttercup will need 3 months of restricted and gradually increasing activity. The surgeon is hopeful that replacement of this hip will be sufficient to allow Buttercup a happy life with normal activity.

Cash is friendly and playful, but does take a little time to warm up to new people. He is great with cats and other dogs. In fact, if you are looking for a dog for your other dog he would be perfect. Cash has been around horses and does not chase them. He would be a great overall pet and farm dog. He is best suited to country setting.

Name: Casper the Prancer
Casper is a sweetheart and prances when outside! (thus the name...) He is friendly, gentle, potty-trained, good on leash, loves walks and car rides, absolutely loves to get and give hugs!!! He does like to stand up and give hugs when he is excited, so I’d be a little careful around little kids. He is, however, very loving!
He has been gentle with the dogs we have met on walks, and has not pulled on the leash at all. He is easy going and laid back in the house, but would certainly like to play when outside. He is heartworm positive, but has started treatment. He is believed to be between 2 and 3 years old and weighs about 86 pounds. He is just an adorable baby, ready for his forever family!!

Name: Chablis Mom of Sommeliers

Name: Chipp
Chipp came to us with demodex mange, but his mange is all cleared up now. He is the happiest and most loving boy! Just look at his smile! He likes to give little kisses and give and receive lots of love. He gets along with other dogs of all sizes and loves people of all ages. He is not good with cats. He is a bit smaller and will probably be around 80 pounds at his ideal weight. He walks well on a leash and knows how to use a dog door. He would love to have another dog to play with and people to give him the love and attention he deserves. He is ready and waiting for his forever home.

Name: Chloe Peng
Chloe Peng, born roughly May, 2017, is a low maintenance independent thinking girl. She is playful and fun with her people but is just as happy hanging outside being a lovely lawn ornament!! In fact, she prefers the great outdoors to the house for everything including taking her meals. Chloe tolerates other dogs but she does not like them in her face. She would prefer another low key dog that will ignore her as she does. She is nonreactive to livestock but is not a guardian. She will bark but really only if she sees a truck go by. Chloe would be perfect for a busy family who will enjoy some backyard fun but does not have a ton of time to devote. Could you be "the one"?

Name: Coco
Coco nicknamed "Odie" is a 1.5 year old, 95 pound Pyrenees mix looking for his forever best friend! His favorite thing to do is cuddle & look up adoringly at you with his big, brown eyes. You will never feel alone with this loyal companion. He knows all his basic commands, does well on a leash, and loves walks around his neighborhood. He can be left unattended in the house for around 6-8 hours no problem, as long as he’s had some activity in the morning and is left with toys in the house. He does amazing with other dogs and would love to have another dog to live with!!! Kids under 13 are not the best for him - it's hard for him to calm down around them. He would be so happy with a house that has a good sized yard that’s securely fenced so he can’t get out, and big enough so he can run around. Coco had a rough start - he was tied to a tree outside for the first year of his life, but he has come so far with his foster family over the last 6 months. He has learned to be calm, to trust, and has become a loving, goofy, silly, and happy young pup. He is looking for a loving, patient family or person to keep learning, growing, and to spend the rest of his life with.

They held him for 6 months and their other dogs weren't adjusting to his presence so they surrendered him to TGPR. He is very sweet and friendly with large and small dogs. He is cat friendly as well. He did test positive for heartworms, so he is being started on treatment. Could Ezra be your forever family member?

George enjoys hanging out at the country home with his foster's small dogs. He has been around their horses and seems to have little interest in them. The family cat is fun for George to watch, but runs off if he seems too interested. More to come soon on this country boy.

Heidi shows no aggression... she is just timid with strangers. We expect this lovely girl will be a sweet companion in time.

Name: Indy
Indy is a sweet loving girl. She loves to snuggle and take long walks. She loves to be outside patrolling the perimeter of the backyard. She is a great playmate to our golden retriever but does not always get along with all dogs. She was rescued from Hurricane Harvey so she had a tough start. She needs a compassionate and calm new home as she tends to startle easily and too has some fear of the dark. She would thrive in an environment with a large yard, no cats, and no young children.

Name: Iroh
Iroh is a sweet, mellow Pyr mix who we estimate to be about 7 years old. He likely spent most of his life outside, so he needs a lot of TCL to be comfortable and acclimated with his new family. He gets along well with dogs and cats, but has some resource guarding with his food, so a feeding separate from other dogs is ideal. Iroh will take some time to warm up to his new humans, but with patience and persistence, he is making progress with his foster. Iroh is heartworm positive and on medication to begin his treatment. He is a fluffy Pyr, but had to have his coat trimmed down due to excessive matting. He is very underweight but has a healthy appetite so he will be filled out and strong in no time.

Name: Kammie
Kammie was surrendered to a shelter because her owners were moving and couldn't have pets in their new house. She had previously been kept outside, but now she's enjoying the air conditioning and comforts of being inside. She surprised us when she went in to be spayed and we found out she was pregnant! Her puppies have been weaned and she has now been spayed. We also discovered she has kidney disease so she needs a special diet and may need subcutaneous fluids every other day for the rest of her life. Her head is a little bit mis-shaped and her jaw does not line up properly, supposedly from a prior snake bite. This doesn't cause her any problems, though. She is still able to eat normally and doesn't have any deficits. She is a loving and energetic girl who walks well on a leash and would love to be some lucky person's lap dog. (She would like it if you have a dog-friendly couch!) Kammie also gets along with cats and her foster sister, a terrier.

Leo is also heartworm positive and will be starting treatment soon.

Name: Marisa
Marisa came to us with a skin condition that caused her to lose lots of her fur. The skin scrape came back negative for mange, so it's likely flea allergy dermatitis.

Name: Meeker aka Bingo
HI!! I go by Bingo now but I was originally adopted as Meeker. I was born in 2017 and have been living with a nice family in the woodlands.

Name: Mila
Mila was found running stray and in heat with no collar and underweight. She is now at her ideal weight and spayed. She is a definite people dog and loves attention, but she takes a long time to warm up. It will likely take a few meets before she is comfortable being around a new family. She is nervous in cars and not a fan of thunderstorms. She gets along with dogs of all sizes and is cat friendly. She walks well on a leash and is learning about the good things in life like toys and bones to chew on. She is a higher energy girl and needs another dog to play with and keep her company. She will need a patient and understanding adopter that is willing to give her the time she needs to adjust to new people and new surroundings. But if you're willing to give her that time, she will be your best cuddle buddy and companion.

Name: Millie Mae
Millie Mae is a bouncy, happy, active young adult. She absolutely loves
people, and will soak up pets, belly rubs, and snuggles. She still jumps
for joy when greeting people - as a tall and lanky 75# dog, her
enthusiasm can be a hazard to children and seniors. A large overbite
gives her a giant beaming smile. When not basking in attention or
sleeping, she trots around exploring or entertains herself playing.
Millie is a country girl, having spent most of her life outdoors in a
fenced yard or chicken run. She was not potty trained as a puppy, but
has not had any accidents in the small portion of our house we have
allowed her into. We think she can learn house manners with patience
and training - and know she would be delighted to spend more time with
people. Her first family had fowl, doves and rabbits. We believe Millie is safe with poultry and has expressed only curiosity about our neighbor's cows and horses. She is not a livestock guardian, but her big, deep bark alerts to approaching cars and people.
We have started teaching Millie basic commands, and she is a fast
learner. She has walked our
property well on a long retractable leash, and has been manageable on a
short leash during trips to town.
We are still working on resource guarding. Millie should have a family
of adults and children mature enough to not interrupt her eating or take
toys and treats from her. She may be best as an only dog, or with a family familiar with resource guarding.
She has aggressively protected food, toys, territory, and people's
attention from other dogs. Most of her aggression has been directed at
our female; she may have less conflict with males. Without these
triggers, she gets along with our dogs and enjoys roughhousing and
chasing. She is still learning the rules of doggy play, and as a gangly
active youngster, she can be obnoxious to mature dogs.
Millie had skin allergies (now under control) and we are trying to identify the cause. She is ready and waiting for her forever home.

Name: Patty Stone
Hello! I am Patty. I was born 3/27/2011. I was very faithful in guarding cattle, chicken and my property for years, but my owner and I have gotten a bit older and we are now both retired from farming. I am now a house pet girl! It has taken me several months to learn the art of just being a house dog. I have come a very long way since Sept 2019. I now interact with the other dogs and cats as well as a toddler who lives within the house. My kennel is my safe place and if I do get a little nervous due to a lot of activity, I will just go to my crate and watch it all. While I am a little slow to warm up to new people, it is "mountains" better than not coming to people at all. I am house trained but still learning the leash. My wish is to just relax with my new family who does not mind me watching a bit of TV with them. My new family will need patience so I can continue to fully enjoy the life of a house dog! Love Patty

When the puppies are between 8 and 9 weeks old, the Area Coordinator will contact the adopters on the litter list and request the adoption fee be paid. Then each adopter will get a 45 minute window to meet and choose their puppy on adoption day. If none of the puppies are a match when it's your turn to choose a puppy, your adoption fee can be transferred to another litter or refunded. But ONLY approved adopters are added to the list, so get your applications in now!

Name: Princess Leia
Check out this glorious example of floof! 7 years old. Leash, house and crate trained. She is s sweet girl looking for her forever home.
Her ideal home would have experienced GP people, who understand the breed. She has a strong personality - super sweet and snuggly, but needs a leader to show her the boundaries. I suspect she is the type who will take over the house if she's allowed the space to do so. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body!! Likes to play with other dogs. NOT cat safe.

Name: Pumpkin of the Autumn Litter
Pumpkin (female) of the Autumn litter was born to Bailey Baby. There were 12 puppies in her litter, but sadly only 5 of them were born alive. One of those didn't survive past the first week. Bailey came to TGPR as a stray and was only with us 2 weeks before delivering her puppies. She was very skinny, so lack of adequate food during her pregnancy was likely the reason for the high mortality rate in her puppies. The 4 that survived will be available for adoption on December 5th. Get those applications in now!

Name: Remi
Remi, born 3/15/2016 is a great big lover boy that started life as a chicken and goat pyr, but now what he really wants is the luxury of A/C and his people. He is still good around ducks and chickens, however his allergies are heat induced, so it is hard for him to stay outside 24/7. Remi is good on lead. He is friendly to most dogs, though tends to want to be the lead man. His current owner has no issues with Remi and the females but he is pretty hard on brother Ruger. He would be a great companion for someone who is looking for a fluffy rug for their home.

Sadie stays indoors most of the time, with a dog door to go outside and has recently been up to her old tricks, of climbing the chain link fence, to “go for a run,” with no concern for traffic or where she ends up. Owner had to make a difficult decision to put safety of dogs above their love and companionship. Needs lots of lovin! Would love it if Sadie could be adopted with her best buddy Sage, but not a requirement.

Name: Tex
Tex is a country boy, born approximately 12/2016. He really loves to play and have room to run and would do best in a home with property. He loves his toys, as he didn't always have them, so he can be a bit of a hog. His foster just makes sure there are plenty to share around.
Tex can be a little slow to warm up around strangers and needs his people to help him gain his confidence. However, once you are accepted you are IN! He would be great for a runner as he will keep up with you.
He loves to put his head on your lap and really likes his tail scratches. He will make sure to remind you to pet him by using that famous Pyr paw to remind you that you have stopped and need to continue
Tex is ready to be given the chance to show how great a dog he is!

Name: Thor Mjolnir
I am a one year old puppy who weighs 85 pounds and am still growing!! I am very tall and I have the cutest freckles on my nose. I don't always realize how strong I am so I might be better off in a family with older kids. I am the best snuggle bug at bedtime and love to share my pillow with my foster parents. I would do well as part of a multiple dog home. I don't do well with cats but I love to play with other dogs. My favorite game is tug of war.
I am still learning manners, but I listen very well and do what I am told. I love car rides and going anywhere with my humans. I can be very nosy and will dumpster dive, given the chance. Since I am so tall, I can reach the counters pretty well. I can't wait to meet my forever family. I hope you find me soon!!
