About Ursa Major

🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE COSMIC COUNCIL 🚨 After careful observation of the night sky, astronomers have confirmed that a brand-new constellation has appeared… and unlike most celestial events, this one snores, wags its tail, and thinks belly rubs are a constitutional right. Meet Ursa Major. 🌌✨Named after one of the most famous constellations in the galaxy, this little celestial queen is less “ancient mythological bear” and more “gentle cloud with paws who would absolutely follow you around the house like your emotional support moonbeam.” Ursa Major has the kind of temperament that makes you wonder if she was personally handcrafted from stardust, warm cookies, and pure serotonin. She’s happy, gentle, and sweet in that soft, comforting way. She’s the type of puppy who looks genuinely thrilled just to exist in your orbit. She enjoys affection, companionship, and quietly observing the world like she’s taking notes for her future memoir: How I Convinced Humans to Worship Me Through Cuteness Alone. 📍 Location: Oklahoma City, OK -Adopters will need to come pick up their new furry family member themselves. Apply here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Ursa Major is an 8–10 month old female Great Pyrenees who came to us alongside her four siblings — Sputnik, Hubble, Orbit, and Celeste — plus mom Supernova and dad Alioth after their family was moving and unable to take them along. Yep. We didn’t just intake a dog… we inherited an entire fluffy galaxy. And every single one of them is absolutely out of this world. Ursa is already a big girl, and let's just say the bigger they get, the more convinced they become that they are tiny delicate babies. Ursa Major will absolutely attempt to sit directly on top of you while looking deeply offended if you imply she weighs more than a rotisserie chicken. Pyrs are incredibly smart, deeply loyal, slightly dramatic, and were bred to think independently. Which means training a Pyr is less “giving commands” and more “opening negotiations with a very fluffy union representative.” But underneath all that glorious Pyr nonsense is a happy, gentle sweetheart who simply wants to love her people with her entire oversized marshmallow body. And trust us… she will. If there were an intergalactic yearbook category for “Most Likely To Become Friends With Literally Everyone,” Ursa Major would probably win by a landslide and then politely share the trophy with the other dogs. She loves to play, blends into a group easily, and responds wonderfully to confident alpha dogs. Honestly, she slides into a pack smoother than someone sneaking into a group project after doing none of the work. As for cats, her official status is currently: “unconfirmed extraterrestrial lifeform.” Based on her temperament, we think she could absolutely learn with proper introductions and guidance. She’s soft-hearted, adaptable, and not looking to start interspecies warfare. Now kids? While she hasn’t been around children in her foster home yet, we’d honestly be shocked if she didn’t adore them. She’s basically a giant stuffed animal with legs and emotions. The main thing future families need to remember is that she is still a young Pyr who is going to be LARGE. Like “accidentally knocks over a toddler because she got excited and forgot she’s built like a small polar bear” large. When it comes to meeting new people, Ursa Major initially approached life the same way most of us approach suspicious emails from unknown senders. Unsure and a bit skeptical of this whole being inside and part of the family thing. But despite being nervous, she allowed handling without protest and opened up quickly once she realized she was safe. This girl’s energy level is about a 3 out of 10. She enjoys playing with her dog friends in the backyard, but overall she’s much more of a calm observer. Now when it comes to car rides, her experience so far has been pretty limited. She needed a little help getting into the car initially — which honestly makes sense considering the giant life changes she’d just gone through — but once inside? Absolute angel behavior. Leash walking is still part of her “future downloadable content.” She hasn’t really been on one yet, which means her future family should expect to work on leash skills patiently and positively. Given her size, this is one of those “important before she outweighs your upper body strength” situations. As for whether she’s an adventure-seeker or a homebody? Ursa Major currently seems very committed to the indoor luxury lifestyle. She enjoys hanging out inside, relaxing, and then joining her dog friends outside for backyard social hour. And temperament-wise? She’s exactly what her name suggests: Happy, gentle, soft-hearted, and easy to love. Now water? The answer there appears to be: Absolutely not. Miss Girl was not impressed by rain and seems deeply suspicious of the sky leaking unexpectedly. Which honestly feels relatable. She may eventually decide shallow kiddie pools are acceptable under controlled conditions, but at this time she appears to believe water belongs in bowls only. Toys though? HUGE fan. Ursa Major is very much a “yard required” kind of girl. Apartment life for a Pyr who has only known the outdoors until recently is basically like putting a retired park ranger in a studio apartment and telling them there are no windows allowed. Could she survive? Technically. Would she spend her evenings emotionally devastated because she cannot inspect backyard noises and monitor neighborhood activity? Absolutely. Ursa Major LOVES being outside with her dog friends and then coming back indoors to enjoy the luxury lifestyle she clearly believes she deserves. She’s really the perfect mix of backyard guardian and indoor oversized baby. This girl is potty trained and despite being an outdoor dog until recently, she has not had one accident in the house. Honestly, some of us can’t even make it through a road trip without stopping twice for snacks and bathroom breaks, and this giant fluffy teenager is already out here mastering house manners and using a doggy door like a seasoned professional. Ursa Major is curious and loves carrying things around and playing with objects, which means future adopters should absolutely expect normal puppy behavior and continue puppy-proofing appropriately. She adores toys of every kind — soccer balls, stuffies, chews, anything she can proudly parade around like she just won a carnival prize. She loves treats, loves affection, loves her dog siblings, and genuinely seems so happy to finally feel safe and included in a family environment. Honestly, that may be the sweetest thing about her. You can tell this girl WANTS connection. She wants companionship. She wants to belong somewhere. And if you let her, she will happily spend the rest of her life protecting your home, carrying around stuffed animals like prized possessions, supervising backyard activities, and loving you with her entire giant galaxy-sized heart. 🌌 So if you’re ready to share your home, couch, personal space, and probably at least 47% of your bed with this giant celestial baby, go fill out an adoption application so we can send it over to her foster family. Then prepare yourself for the life-changing journey of becoming emotionally manipulated by a dog who looks like a cloud but sounds like a full-time neighborhood watch program. Ursa Major is located in Oklahoma City, OK, and yes — you do have to come pick her up yourself. Unfortunately, despite the cosmic theme, we are still waiting for NASA to approve our intergalactic puppy teleportation program. 🌌🚀
