Adoption Policies Overview
The majority of our Pyrs require solid and securely fenced yards to thrive. We occasionally make exceptions for experienced Pyr owners who understand the breed’s strong instinct to roam and commit to keeping the Pyr on-leash when outside. We do not place Pyrs in homes where chains, tie-outs, or underground fencing is used.
We require a positive reference from a veterinarian who can confirm the applicant’s history of providing routine care, particularly regular administration of heartworm prevention and vaccination. We may require additional references for special needs Pyrs or exotic breeds to help us assure a good fit. An experienced Pyr-owner and volunteer may do a home visit, particularly for first-time Pyr owners.
All approved applicants are invited to meet the Pyrs and an officer of the rescue by appointment at the kennels in Indian Trail, NC. Most families bring home their new family member that day. Those who don’t find their match are welcome to visit again. We will help those who appear unready for Pyr ownership find an appropriate rescue to match them with a dog.
Our non-refundable adoption donation is $300 for seniors over eight years old, $400 for adults, $500 for puppies, and $650 for bonded pairs. This includes full vaccination; veterinary care when needed; spay/neuter; heartworm testing and, if necessary, treatment; and professional grooming.

The first two dogs whose profiles I updated to the Valentine's background are adoption-pending before I even had a chance to post them on our webpage!
Let's keep this streak going! 😂🤣😆😁

We are smitten with sweet Yuki.
This adult female came to us with hotspots and an ear infection, but her itchies are going away and fluffies coming back!
Yuki loves taking walks and giving hugs, and if you want to get more steps in and enjoy more snuggles in 2026, this is your girl!
She is calm, gentle, and very smart. She would be a good match for a family with a large male dog her size or smaller dogs of either sex. She would be a good addition to a family with children.
To meet Yuki or any of the wonderful dogs in our care, read our policies and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.
Thanks for likes and shares!

After completing the prep of a course of doxycycline, Hope received injections to kill the adult heartworms earlier this week. She is on a strict protocol of rest for a month before she can leave us for a furever home.
Treating heartworm disease sucks, y'all. It is painful for the dogs and expensive for the rescue.
Mark your calendars, and give your dog their monthly preventative!

Hey, friends of the Pyrs, are you ready for the first #FureverHomeFriday picture of 2026?! 🥳🤩
Bryan, Debbie, and their kiddos were so excited to visit the rescue and meet our wonderful dogs. They decided that Babe (now renamed Pepper) is their Pyrfect match!

Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue is based out of our president’s grooming and boarding facility in Indian Trail, NC, and trained and professional staff care for most of our Pyrs. We rely on a network of experienced foster families to care for Pyrs who are not immediately adoptable.
We need the following:
- Forever homes: The number one way to help us is to adopt a Pyr.
- Donate any of the following items: We sometimes need clean towels, new or gently-used crates, Diamond Natural Lamb and Rice blend kibble, Lysol Clean and Fresh Multipurpose cleaner (the yellow bottle), Tide HE, and paper towels. Please email president@
carolinapyrrescue.com for current needs. Many of these needs are listed on our Amazon Wish List. - Organize an adoption event at a local pet store or other suitable site in your community: Email events@carolinapyrenews.
com - Donate: CGPR is a 501(c)3 non profit. Every dollar you donate goes directly to our efforts to save these magnificent dogs. Your donations are tax deductible, and you will receive a letter from CGPR for your records stating the details of your donation. Click the ‘Donate’ button below to start the donation process via PayPals’ safe and secure webserver. You can also send a check to CGPR at 4015 Fawnbrooke Dr., Indian Trail, NC 28079.
- Post, forward, and like: We share our Pyrs’ profiles on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. Any likes, forwards, retweets, and posts help them by introducing new people to the wonderful dogs we have in rescue. The majority of our adoptive families find us through the internet and social media.
