Somewhere deep in the galaxy, among swirling nebulas and questionable cosmic decisions, Alioth apparently decided his mission on Earth would be: “Be the calmest, sweetest boy imaginable.” Named after one of the brightest stars in the night sky, Alioth is less “dramatic supernova” and more “gentle moonlight vibes.” He’s the kind of dog who acts like the universe personally assigned him the role of Emotional Support Cloud. Calm? Absolutely. Loving? Endlessly. Gentle? To a level that makes you wonder if he was assembled in a lab specifically to lower blood pressure. He’s laid back in the way only truly confident dogs can be. No ego. No nonsense. Just a big sweet soul floating through life spreading love like cosmic glitter. Basically, if the Cosmic Litter inherited even half of this guy’s personality, humanity may not deserve them. 📍 Location: Edmond, OK -Adopters will need to come pick up their new furry family member themselves. Apply at: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Alioth is a 3-year-old, 100lb male Great Pyrenees who came to us alongside his baby mama Supernova and their galaxy of puppies: Ursa Major, Celeste, Sputnik, Hubble, and Orbit after their family was moving and unfortunately could not take them along. Now before you read “100 pounds” and think, “Wow, that is a large dog,” I need everyone to understand something very important…He is UNDERWEIGHT. This man should realistically be in the 110+ range. So yes. This is not a “large breed dog.” This is a polar bear disguised as an emotional support marshmallow. And despite being approximately the size of a small loveseat, Alioth is one VERY big baby. He is laid back, calm, loving, gentle, and ridiculously sweet. The kind of dog who looks like he should be guarding a medieval castle but instead would probably cry if you raised your voice while opening a bag of chips without sharing. He has mastered the Great Pyrenees art form of looking deeply offended anytime life mildly inconveniences him while simultaneously pretending he cannot hear you call his name from six feet away. Oh, and did we mention? Fur. Everywhere. Forever. You will eventually find his hair in places that violate the laws of physics. But underneath all the Pyr nonsense is an incredibly sweet, soft-hearted boy who just wants love, comfort, and a family to adore. And honestly? We are obsessed with him. Alioth approaches other dogs the way a wise old celestial being approaches intergalactic politics: calm, observant, and absolutely refusing to embarrass himself by acting unhinged. He did great with his own little cosmic crew and also did well around the dogs at his temp fosters house. On walks, he notices other dogs, but instead of screaming, spinning, or acting like he just spotted a celebrity at Target, he simply acknowledges their existence and continues on with his day like the emotionally evolved king he is. As for cats, reports from Mission Control say he does well with them too. During one walk, there was a cat under a car, and Alioth basically said, “Ah yes. A tiny earth creature,” before calmly continuing on his journey through the galaxy. No lunging. No dramatics. No attempts to launch a feline space program. Kids are still being further explored, but so far he’s giving off strong “gentle giant in a children’s movie” vibes. He met a little girl on a scooter during a walk and remained his usual calm, polite self. Meeting new people? Same story. Calm. Polite. Sweet. When foster friends came over, he greeted them nicely and accepted head scratches like a retired king graciously greeting his loyal subjects. Alioth’s energy level is approximately a 3, which in Great Pyrenees terms translates to: “I am willing to participate… but only if the activity aligns with my personal values and does not involve cardio.” This is not a dog training for an ultramarathon. This is a celestial being who believes in leisure. Relaxation. Slow living. Romanticizing a nice stroll followed by a nap in the air conditioning. Could he enjoy hanging out on a brewery patio soaking up attention from strangers while pretending not to enjoy it? Absolutely. Would he like a peaceful neighborhood walk where he can quietly inspect the cosmos and sniff every blade of grass like it contains ancient universal knowledge? Yes. Would he enjoy hiking ten miles up a mountain? Please be serious. It would take approximately five business days to complete one trail because Alioth would need to stop every seventeen feet to contemplate life and possibly refuse movement altogether for dramatic Pyr reasons. Speaking of drama… let’s discuss transportation. Alioth currently does not self-load into the car, which means his foster is out here performing Olympic-level deadlifts trying to hoist 100 pounds of emotionally conflicted polar bear into an SUV. Once inside, he stays calmly in the back, but he’s still figuring out this whole “mobile spaceship” concept. On leash? Alioth has STRONG opinions. Slip leash around the neck? Absolutely not. Full Pyr protest mode activated. He plants his feet, bucks dramatically, and channels the spirit of a Victorian child refusing to enter boarding school. Harness? Completely different dog. Suddenly he’s out here walking politely like he’s been attending leash etiquette seminars his whole life. Honestly, the transformation is so dramatic you’d never guess this giant fluff nugget probably had very little leash experience before rescue. As for toys? Alioth would like everyone to know he is a grown man with sophisticated interests. He does not waste time chasing tennis balls like some common peasant. He prefers meaningful hobbies like lounging, supervising humans, accepting ear scratches, and occasionally doing exactly one (1) daily zoomie episode before clocking out emotionally for the evening. Alioth is currently adjusting to indoor pet life. So no, this giant celestial guardian is not an apartment candidate unless your downstairs neighbors are deeply passionate about hearing occasional “I sensed movement three counties away” barks at inconvenient hours. This man was bred for perimeter checks, property supervision, and making independent security decisions with absolutely no oversight committee. He LOVES having access to a yard where he can majestically lay in the grass like a retired king surveying his kingdom while monitoring all neighborhood activity. Squirrel in the distance? Noted. Wind blowing oddly? Investigating. Leaf moving suspiciously? Under review. The good news? He’s transitioning beautifully into indoor life. Each night he’s settling more and more. Command-wise, Alioth currently identifies as “spiritually unburdened by obedience training.” Sit? No. Stay? Also no. Come? Depends. Are you holding cheese? Is Mercury in retrograde? Has he personally decided your request aligns with his values? Again… textbook Pyr. Potty training is going well overall. He’s not destructive, doesn’t chew inappropriate things, doesn’t counter surf, and isn’t out here plotting domestic crimes. Honestly, for a giant breed dog adjusting to an entirely new lifestyle, he’s handling things remarkably well. Honestly, Big Al is just… special. If you think your family may be the lucky humans chosen by this oversized celestial marshmallow, you’ll need to fill out an adoption application so we can send it over to his foster family for review. And because apparently teleportation technology still hasn’t been invented despite us literally naming dogs after space objects, his future family will also need to pick him up in Edmond, Oklahoma. Apply here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Come meet Big Al. Just don’t expect him to come when called the first time. Or the second. Or possibly at all if he’s busy contemplating the universe while sunbathing.
