Story
Meet Fletcher.
The one-eyed wonder pup who’s got more personality in his fluffy little paws than most people do in their entire existence. He’s four months old, still figuring out how to operate those oversized puppy feet, and navigating the world with the confidence of someone who definitely didn’t just walk into a wall. (It was strategic, okay). This kid is an enthusiast—for life, for playtime, for naps that hit like a tranquilizer dart. He’s the definition of happy-go-lucky, which means he will absolutely fling himself into whatever adventure is happening, even if he’s not entirely sure where “straight ahead” is.
Now, while Fletcher adores everyone and everything (seriously, this kid would probably be besties with a houseplant if given the chance), it’s important to note that as ridiculously handsome as he is… he won’t be for everyone. If you’re looking for an aesthetically perfect dog—Fletcher’s blind eye is clouded over, giving him a permanently mysterious, pirate-y vibe. If you need a dog with two pristine, symmetrical peepers for your Instagram aesthetic, keep scrolling. He’s not here to be anyone’s “before” picture. If you want a pup who’s mastered personal space—Fletcher believes in close proximity cuddles and will absolutely use you as a pillow. If you expect a dignified, serious dog—oh, bless your heart. Fletcher is a professional goofball, 100% down for belly rubs, awkwardly big puppy hugs, and flopping dramatically mid-play when his energy reserves hit zero. Fletcher may not be “perfect,” but if you ask him, he’s exactly what a dog should be—fun, loving, and always up for a good time. If you’re looking for a pup who makes life better (and funnier), he’s ready to be your one-eyed sidekick. 🏴☠️
Fletcher is a 4-month-old, 40lb male Great Pyrenees mix. Fletcher came to us from… well, let’s just say a less-than-ideal situation, which left him with an untreated eye injury. But don’t worry—our vet squad says his eye is healing, the pressure is normal, and for now, the plan is to let him keep rocking his ruggedly handsome look. Of course, it’ll need to be monitored to make sure it’s not causing him any pain, but at this time, it’s not recommended for removal. Now, Fletcher? He loves everyone. Dogs, people, cats—he’s an equal-opportunity friendship enthusiast. Strangers? Nope, those don’t exist in his world—just future besties he hasn’t licked yet. He desperately wants to play with the cats, who, in true cat fashion, would rather file a formal complaint. He’s also become quite fascinated by the house rabbit and is fully convinced that if we just let him out, they’d be the best of friends. (The rabbit disagrees.) He hasn’t been around young kids, but given his unbridled enthusiasm for life, he’d probably be a little too much for small children. Fletcher loves big, which is adorable but also a bit overwhelming if you’re under three feet tall. Older kids, teens, and adults, though? Prime candidates for his excessive affection.
Now, let’s talk energy levels. On a scale from sloth in a food coma to squirrel on an energy drink bender, Fletcher lands somewhere around overfed house cat who occasionally gets the zoomies. He enjoys a good play session, but he’s also a firm believer in the art of napping. Fletcher is what we like to call a selective adventurer—he’s totally down for an outing if (and only if) there is an adoring audience waiting at the destination to shower him with love and attention. Hiking for the sake of nature? Hard pass. A trip to the pet store where every human within a 10-foot radius will tell him he’s the most handsome boy they’ve ever seen? Now we’re talking. Fletcher is not the dog for someone who wants an instant adventure buddy who leaps into the car and embraces spontaneity. If you’re looking for a pup who will gleefully hit the trails and chase the wind, he’s going to need some convincing. But if you want a dog who enjoys outings only when there’s something in it for him (i.e., adoration, snacks, and the chance to be told he’s a very good boy), then Fletcher is your guy. He’s perfect for someone who appreciates the balance of loving attention in public and lounging like a king at home, occasionally judging the world from the window like a retired celebrity. Fletcher is the golden retriever energy trapped in a Great Pyrenees(ish) body—big, goofy, and blissfully unaware of his own size. He hasn’t quite mastered the mechanics of using his back legs to gracefully climb onto the couch, so instead, he just kind of hops around and hopes for the best. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, he takes it in stride, because Fletcher is the definition of a happy-go-lucky optimist who firmly believes life is just one big play session interrupted by occasional naps. This pup bounces between three distinct modes: 1) Floppy lounge lizard, draped dramatically across the floor, 2) Fluffy gremlin, zooming through the yard at full speed, ears flapping, occasionally tripping over his own enthusiasm, and 3) Relentless playtime promoter, enthusiastically trying to recruit his foster dog aunt and uncle into his grand plans. Whether they actually want to play? Irrelevant. Fletcher believes in persistence. Now, if you’re looking for a perfectly poised, refined dog who delicately interacts with his surroundings like a well-mannered gentleman—keep scrolling. Fletcher is not for you. He’s still figuring out how to exist in his ever-growing limbs, and his version of affection is slightly enthusiastic. Small children or fragile pets might find his well-intentioned love a bit much. However, if you want a dog who will keep you entertained and keep you laughing...this boy is it! Fletcher has a strict no water policy. Baths? Offensive. Rain? How dare you. Puddles? Absolutely not. He firmly believes he is a majestic, land-dwelling creature and should remain dry at all times. If you’re looking for a dog to frolic in the sprinklers with your kids, keep scrolling—Fletcher would rather stay inside and file a formal complaint. What does he love? Chew and tug toys. If it can be gnawed, chomped, or yanked in an epic battle of strength, he’s all in. But if you think for one second that he’s going to chase after a ball like some kind of retriever, think again. You yell "fetch," and he assumes you’re summoning the neighbor’s dog—because clearly, you can’t be talking to him.
Fletcher views leashes and harnesses with the same enthusiasm a toddler has for putting on pants—completely unnecessary and an affront to his personal freedom. That being said, once he finally accepts that the leash isn’t some diabolical plot against him, we suppose he could make a decent apartment dog. Now, let’s be real—size matters. If your apartment is roughly the size of a shoebox, prepare to spend your days playing a never-ending game of “excuse me, Fletcher,” as you attempt to navigate around his large, sprawled-out self. He’s got a big ol’ bum, and he will place it exactly where it’s least convenient. However, if you’ve got enough space for him to flop dramatically, zoom occasionally, and nap without being constantly disturbed by your inconsiderate need to walk around, he’ll be happy.
Thinking about adopting Fletcher? Fantastic! But let’s be clear—he is not for the faint of heart, the easily frustrated, or anyone who thinks puppies arrive pre-programmed with manners. Fletcher is a baby, which means his current skill set includes looking adorable, causing minor chaos, and thinking the world revolves around him. If you’re not prepared to raise a puppy (not just own one), then he is not your guy. First, socialization—Fletcher needs to meet new people, see new places, and learn that the world is not out to get him. If your idea of socialization is waving at your neighbors from the window while avoiding all human interaction, that won’t cut it. Fletcher needs exposure, not a lifetime of being a hermit. Next, training—Fletcher is not born knowing sit, stay, or that your expensive shoes aren’t chew toys. He will need structure, guidance, and someone willing to repeat commands. Oh, and potty training—it’s happening on his schedule, not yours. There will be accidents. If a little pee on the floor sends you into a meltdown, perhaps reconsider. Fletcher needs someone who understands that house training is a process, not an overnight miracle. And finally, let’s talk about puppy proofing. If the idea of a chewed-up phone charger(that you left out) sends you into a blind rage, then perhaps a puppy isn’t the right fit for your delicate soul. But if you’re ready to put in the time, effort, and patience to help Fletcher grow into the amazing dog we know he can be—congratulations! You may just be worthy of this big, lovable, slightly uncoordinated, and totally wonderful fluffball.
Ready to add some fun, fluff, and lots of pirate jokes that only you’ll find funny? Fletcher’s your guy! But first, before you can start the never-ending supply of dad jokes and 'arr matey' references, you’ve gotta fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app —because obviously, we can’t just hand him over to anyone who stumbles across him on the internet (we know, bummer). Once that’s done, we’ll send it over to his fabulous foster family, who will then tell you how to scoop him up in all his derpy and lovable glory in Midwest City, OK.
