Howard has a forever family, and leads a pretty hectic life now days... He goes to the office by day, is a couch potato by evening, and BED HOG by late night! (Howard's family has the luxury of working in a pet-friendly building.) Thank you for considering a rescued gentle giant, Dick and Jill enjoy!

More pictures of Starsky and Shyla Starsky received a special gift for Christmas a forever family to love and a Pyr sister! Starsky was adopted by Geri, Darryl, and "Shyla" (another 7-month-old Pyr puppy). Dear GPRGC, Thank you again for the "gift" of Starsky. He is doing great! Always putting smiles on our faces. Enclosed are just a "few" pictures of Starsky & Shyla. They both are even larger now than in the pictures. It's hard to tell them apart sometimes! I have to do double takes! Starsky is doing great in school. He is still in "Level A." Starsky & Shyla are the perfect match! They get along great and are best puppy pals! Again, we thank you! Geri, Darryl and critters P.S. We'll be sending MORE pictures. |
Dear GPRGC, I've finally found some free time to update all of my friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue about my new life. I was adopted by 2 new parents, Ryan and Mike. We live in a house right by the lake, a few miles north of downtown Chicago. We have a nice yard but are also 2 blocks from lots of great parks along the lake. Mike's a grad student at Northwestern and Ryan works from home, so I get to spend lots of time with my people. We go on walks every day I especially like playing in the snow fields by the lake. We're often joined by my friends, Luna, a black female rescued Lab who's my age, and Scout, a 4-year-old mix. We even went swimming together once back in early November when it was still warm! I've adjusted very well to my new home. I'm completely housebroken and haven't chewed too many things that aren't mine. I have lots of energy, and my people make sure that I have lots of exercise. I sleep at night on the big bed upstairs, but still stay in my crate when no one's home. I love all the toys I have, especially the squeaky ones, though I'm very skilled at removing the squeakers! One of my favorite things to do is to take a running leap onto the laps of people when they're on the sofa. I also like to sneak Kleenexes from trash cans and pull toilet paper off the rolls, though I know I'm not supposed to... I still love to cuddle and be held. I'm so proud of graduating with honors from obedience school at the Anti-Cruely Society. My team won the relay race, and I won the prize for best tricks (high five, roll over, and catch). Mike and Ryan are continuing to work with me I may even take the advanced class! They also have doggie happy hours that I can now attend, since I graduated. I've also developed my innate Lab skill at playing ball, which I do all of the time. I'm very excited about the news that I'll be getting a new sister. We're adopting an 8-week-old black female lab in about a month. I can't wait to have a full-time playmate and dog friend. I'll also have to show her the ropes and help her become as well-trained as me. That's about it for now. Thank you everyone at Great Pyrenees Rescue for helping me!
