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.

Attention, friends of the Pyrs, it looks like we will be taking in multiple competent working Pyrs/livestock guardian dogs accustomed to goats, chicken, ducks, and horses in the near future.
If you are interested in an individual or bonded pair of LGDs, please fill out our application asap:

Let's celebrate #TwoForTuesday with another bonded pair! I forgot to specifically say in this video that Joy and Andi need to be adopted into a home with a six-foot fence, preferably stockade. They are climbers!

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.
