Story
Our adoption fees have dropped until March 1, 2025 in honor of puppy love, and we're practically bursting with excitement to introduce you to your new best friend! 💕
🐾 Adults – Now only $225 (was $250)!
They’ve got the wisdom, the snuggles, and the "already potty trained" bonus.
When you look at Raleigh, it’s almost impossible to imagine that this glorious fluffball hasn’t always been treated like the queen she clearly is. This magnificent marshmallow of a dog used to belong to no one. And honestly, whoever had her before didn’t deserve her anyway. She was often spotted lying smack in the middle of busy intersections (because clearly, she has zero self-preservation instincts), casually roaming the streets like some tragic Disney princess waiting for her big break. Then one day, she vanished like a puff of Pyr fur in the wind. Two months later, Raleigh reappeared—injured and limping into someone's yard, clearly done with her wandering solo lifestyle. It’s suspected she was hit by a car. Thankfully, the kind soul whose lot she wandered into asked for help, and thanks to an amazing foster family, Raleigh officially joined our fluffy-butt squad. When she arrived, it was clear her leg situation was, well, less than ideal. Turns out her hip was popping in and out of socket. To fix this, she underwent an FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) surgery—a procedure that removes the ball part of the hip joint so it no longer grinds painfully against the socket. It sounds intense, but trust us, it’s life-changing for dogs like Raleigh. Now she’s on the mend and well on her way to reclaiming her title as the fluffiest, happiest marshmallow around. She’s genuinely one of the best dogs you’ll ever meet, and frankly, I’ll never understand how anyone could just shrug their shoulders and ignore such an amazing soul. Their loss, though—because now Raleigh’s ready to upgrade to a life full of belly rubs, snacks, and people who will worship her as the queen she truly is.
Raleigh is a 1-year-old, 68lb Great Pyrenees with the kind of personality that makes you wonder if she’s secretly royalty in disguise. As a Pyr, you can expect a few classic quirks: like her belief that she’s always in charge of the household (even if she’s just lounging on the couch). She’s got that whole “I’m independent, but I’ll grace you with my presence” vibe, and she’ll definitely ignore you when you call her... unless there’s food involved. But don't let that scare you as Raleigh is basically the poster child for sweetness and sensitivity—like if Hallmark made a card for dogs, she’d be on the cover. She gets along with pretty much everyone she meets. She’s a total social butterfly with other dogs and absolutely loves playing with them. Now, as for cats (a.k.a. purrinators), she hasn’t had the pleasure of meeting one during her time with us. But according to her finder, she’s pretty indifferent to the feline crowd. So, if you’ve got a cat who’s more of a couch philosopher than a drama queen, Raleigh’s probably not going to disrupt their existential pondering. Kids? She’s cautiously optimistic. She might be a little shy at first, but if your kiddos understand that Raleigh’s not here for chaos and needs gentle pets and patience, she’ll warm up and probably end up adoring them. When it comes to meeting new people, Raleigh’s manners are on point. Calm, polite, and the kind of dog who’d wait patiently for an introduction instead of launching herself into your arms like a furry wrecking ball. Basically, Raleigh’s a catch—kind, polite, and ready to add a touch of class to your life.
Raleigh has absolutely zero issues hopping into any random 4-wheeled contraption and heading off to who-knows-where with her people. She’s basically the perfect co-pilot—calm, collected, and not the type to bark at the radio or spill your coffee. You can confidently take her out on the town, knowing that she’ll be on her best behavior, impressing everyone with her refined manners. Now, let’s talk about walks. As a Great Pyrenees, Raleigh’s stamina is... well, not exactly marathon-ready. She loves a nice stroll, but if you’re thinking about running a 5k or power-walking through the streets like a speed demon, keep scrolling. Raleigh is firmly in the "stop and smell the roses" camp. She’s happy to dawdle and take in the sights, and while she might tolerate a hike or two (preferably on cooler days), don’t expect to be breaking any speed records or finishing the trail without multiple sniff breaks. But honestly, Raleigh’s version of a good time doesn’t need to involve much exercise. She’s just as content curling up on the couch with you for a good nap, maybe punctuated by a few dramatic stretches and side-eye glances. If you’re into hosting parties, Raleigh’s the perfect greeter. She’ll shake paws, offer up her most heart-melting puppy dog eyes, and gently nudge your guests for pets, before retreating to a cozy corner to nap. If you're more of the stay-at-home-and-do-nothing type, she’s your girl. Raleigh is pretty chill, so as long as she’s got a buddy to play with, a couple of walks, or some backyard zoomies to satisfy her energy, she’ll be thrilled. Yep, even living in an apartment is no problem for this girl—she’s got the "laid-back living" thing down. So if you're looking for a low-maintenance, easy-going companion who’s cool with whatever, Raleigh’s your girl.
Speaking of "low maintenance" (which, let’s be honest, we all wish we could be), Raleigh is basically the unicorn of dogs. She's pyrfect for any family—whether you’re a first-time dog owner, a seasoned pro looking for a solid addition, or just someone who wants to expand their fluffy butt squad. Seriously, she’s the dog you’ll want to show off to your friends, and they'll probably ask if she’s a custom-designed angel. Raleigh is potty and kennel trained, which means she won’t be turning your house into an indoor swamp. She’s also not the type to chew up your furniture or turn your favorite shoes into modern art. And here’s the real kicker—brace yourselves—she's not a big barker! I know, I know, it's a miracle. Sure, she’s a Pyr, and we all know what that usually means (cue the endless symphony of barking), but Raleigh tends to keep her vocal performances to a minimum, only really chiming in when the other dogs start a “bark-off.” Your biggest problem with this angel will probably be figuring out how to keep her fluffy hair out of your food and how to explain to your friends why they’re covered in extra glipyr whenever they leave your house. But honestly, that’s a small price to pay for a dog who will quietly roam the house like the well-mannered angel she is. So, with the ability to roam free and be her perfect self, Raleigh will probably do more to help your home feel like a cozy and welcoming palace than any other member of the family ever could.
So, if you’ve made it this far and you’re thinking, “Wow, how did I live this long without a Raleigh in my life?”—well, good news! You can finally fix that glaring error. Just fill out an adoption application for her at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoptablefluffybutts, and we’ll send it to her foster family Once you’re approved, you’ll need to swing by Tulsa, Oklahoma, to pick her up.
Now, go ahead, get that adoption application in, and get ready for a life of belly rubs, tail wags, and one less chair to sit in because, let’s face it, Raleigh’s probably already planning to claim it as her throne.
