Tsunami

My story

Meet Tsunami: Tsunami isn’t just a dog—she’s basically a walking solar panel. With her golden and white coat glowing like a sunrise and her personality radiating nonstop sweetness, this girl is pure sunshine wrapped in fur. She’s gentle, she’s soft, and she’s convinced that every single human on this planet exists solely to provide her with unlimited love and affection. Subtlety is not her game—if you sit down, she’s going to be there, probably melting into you like warm butter on a biscuit. Basically, she’s the canine equivalent of your favorite cozy blanket fresh out of the dryer, combined with that first sip of coffee in the morning. Warm, comforting, a little addictive. So, if you’ve been searching for a dog that can light up your house brighter than a Pinterest string-light setup, Tsunami is your girl. She’s sunshine with a tail, ready to turn every gloomy day into a golden one. Tsunami is a 40-pound(ish) female Great Pyrenees mix who clearly skipped the chapter in the Pyr handbook about being independent and aloof. Instead, she’s decided her life’s mission is to be your shadow, your cheerleader, and your emotional support sunshine. Forget the “mysterious and stoic guardian” stereotype—this girl wants front-row seats to literally everything you do. If you’re cooking in the kitchen, she’s the sous chef. If you’re on the couch, she’s the professional foot warmer. If the dogs are playing, she’s right in the mix, flashing that golden-and-white smile like she’s hosting her own doggy variety show. Her joy isn’t just visible—it’s infectious. Tsunami doesn’t just “like” life; she adores it. Every cuddle session is her favorite, every play session is the best one yet, and every moment spent just hanging out is treated like a once-in-a-lifetime event. She doesn’t walk into a room; she beams into it, radiating happiness in a way that makes you wonder if she swallowed a tiny sun. And here’s the kicker: that kind of energy is ridiculously addictive. One minute you’re just coexisting with her, and the next you’re grinning like an idiot because she’s convinced you the world is actually a pretty great place. Tsunami is a social girl who does well with other dogs, though she isn’t shy about handing out a few polite barks when new dogs arrive on the scene—just her way of saying, “I see you, and I’m watching.” The funny part? It never takes her long to decide they’re acceptable and welcome them into her circle. She’ll happily share space and company, but unlike some dogs who live for endless wrestling matches and zoomies, Tsunami is more of a “quality over quantity” type. She’ll join in when the mood strikes, but her real priority is being with her people. Cuddles, companionship, and shadowing her humans around the house? That’s her true calling. Cats, on the other hand, are a whole different puzzle. Tsunami doesn’t quite understand their mysterious, world-domination energy. While she’s busy radiating sunshine and love, cats seem to brood in the corner like tiny villains plotting their next takeover. Tsunami’s response? A bark or two to alert her humans that something suspicious is definitely afoot. Not aggressive, not fearful—just a “Hey, Mom, I think the cat’s up to something again” kind of attitude. She’s also met four children, ages six to ten, and handled it with absolute grace. No jumping, no nerves—just calm eagerness and tail wags as she soaked up their attention. She clearly enjoys the company of little ones, and her sweet nature makes her a lovely fit for a family with respectful kids. When meeting new people, Tsunami greets them with her signature brand of warmth. She’s the kind of dog who makes strangers feel like instant friends and gives every encounter a golden glow. Tsunami’s energy level is exactly what most people dream of in a dog—she knows how to relax and chill when the vibe calls for it, but she’s also the perfect co-pilot for whatever adventure you’ve got planned. Random road trip? She’s already in the car. Stroll through the park? She’s at the door with her tail wagging. Starbucks run? You better believe she’s ready to help you earn those pup cup points. In the car she’s a total gem—no pacing, no dramatics, just a calm passenger who settles in like she’s been doing this all her life. What really makes Tsunami shine, though, is how seamlessly she adapts to her person’s lifestyle. If you’re the type who loves getting out and about, she’ll be your enthusiastic partner in crime. If you’d rather curl up on the couch, she’ll happily press herself against you like a living weighted blanket, resting her head on your foot as if to remind you she’s exactly where she belongs. She’s affectionate, people-focused, and never misses a chance to soak up attention and return it tenfold. Of course, she’s also got a playful streak—she enjoys romping around with her dog friends and getting in some fun before winding back down with her people. She’s the kind of dog who balances both worlds: companion and playmate, adventurer and snuggle buddy. Now, full disclosure: apartment life probably isn’t her calling. Tsunami has a voice, and while she doesn’t use it constantly, she’s not afraid to honor her ancestors with the “song of her people” when the mood strikes. All in all, Tsunami is that perfect mix of chill, playful, affectionate, and adventurous. She’s sunshine in a dog’s body—ready to adapt to your lifestyle, brighten your days, and remind you that sometimes the best companions are the ones who know when to run beside you and when to simply lay quietly at your feet. Tsunami is doing well with her potty training, especially when kept on a consistent schedule. Like most young dogs, she’s still learning and may have the occasional accident if left without a routine, but overall she’s catching on quickly. She’s also kennel trained, which is a huge plus. When it comes to chewing, she’s pretty respectable for a pup. Toys? Absolutely, she’s all about them. Shoes? Well… sometimes they just look like toys, okay? The girl’s not perfect. But the great thing about Tsunami is that she’s easily redirected. Tell her “no,” hand her a squeaky toy, and boom—she’s happy again. She’s not the type to plot the destruction of your couch cushions while making direct eye contact with you. Now here’s where you come in: if you’re sitting there thinking, “Wow, she sounds perfect, I want her!”—congratulations, you’ve just reached the part where we remind you this isn’t Amazon Prime for puppies. You can’t just comment “mine” and expect Tsunami to show up on your porch in two business days. You’ll need to fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app, so we can send it to her foster family. If approved, you’ll get the once-in-a-lifetime road trip to Hutchinson, KS to pick her up. Lucky you—because when you bring Tsunami home, you’re not just adopting a dog. You’re adopting pure joy, sunshine with freckles, and a fluffy best friend who will make your neighbors forget your name but
