My story

If your checklist includes finding a furry adventure buddy with a love for people and all things outdoorsy, Howie is your guy. Born around June 2017, Howie’s ideal match would be an active owner who loves exploring as much as he does. While he’s perfectly content to spend the day lounging on the back porch or catching up on his beauty sleep, Howie also has bursts of playful energy that will remind you just how fun life can be! Walks are his favorite, and while he may get a bit excited at the sight of other dogs, a confident owner with a firm grip will make those outings a breeze. Handsome, intelligent, and as sweet as they come, Howie is a social guy who loves making new friends. Once you’ve earned his trust, he’s the most loyal companion you could hope for. While he’s not the type to crawl into your lap for a cuddle, he’ll happily lay by your feet while you work, offering quiet support and the occasional side-eye if you’re not sharing snacks. Howie’s ideal family would be an experienced and active one, without cats, small dogs, or young children—teenagers are more his speed! He’d thrive with a large lady dog companion, or as the solo star of the show with an owner who knows their way around big, lovable pups. This boy is bursting with love and loyalty, just waiting for the right person to share it with—preferably someone with treats and hiking boots. ADOPT HERE: Complete an Adoption Application for your Pyr-fect new family companion at https://gprs.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=6206. All dogs and puppies require VISIBLE fencing Adoption fee: $350 (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. The Northwest and Midwest transport fees range from $225-$350. The Southeast transport fees range from $250-$350. GPRS has proudly placed thousands of Great Pyrenees and GP mixes in the PNW for over a decade. Our volunteers have over 100 years combined experience fostering, screening, and placing this majestic breed into loving, forever homes. When adopting from us, you can rest assured that we provide life-long support and advice when it comes to your new family member. As always, our purpose is to find the best match for every unique dog that comes through our doors. Taking the time to find the right fit comes first and foremost at the Great Pyrenees Rescue Society. If you are interested in adopting, please take the time, and apply. You will see firsthand how much care, attention and love goes into the process, when you are guided a personal screener. This is why we have people come back again and again for their next family member! See all our dogs, fill out an application and discover why we are the BEST at placing the right dog in the right home! https://gprs.rescuegroups.org/. ADOPTION, FOSTERING, AND DONATIONS are just some of the ways you can help a rescued dog. We have worked hard to cultivate a large network of volunteers to save this majestic breed. While monetary donations are always much appreciated, you can also help by donating your time as a GPRS foster or volunteer. FOSTER HERE: Apply to foster at dog at https://gprs.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=6281 . VOLUNTEER HERE: Let us know your interests in helping our Pyr friends at https://gprs.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=6272.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 9, 2025, 1:29 am
