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.

We have Carmela and Meadow here at the rescue already...and now we have Tony! And, yes, he IS that handsome.
This boy came to us from a shelter partner, and we estimate him to be about three years old.
He is a sweet, mellow boy. Stay tuned for more information about him as we get to know him!

Every dog who comes to us has a story: Tucker's owners love her very much but are no longer able to care for her because of their serious health challenges. Neighbors stepped up to help, and she enjoyed a ride to the rescue today. It takes a village, y'all.
This smaller, young female Pyr loves people and wants all the attention. We will post more about her as we get to know her.

Whhhhhhhhhhhhhatttttt day is it, friends of the Pyrs?!
It....is....#FureverHomeFriday, our favorite day!
We have one picture to share with you, and it is a good one. The Fradenburgs, who have adopted multiple Pyrs from us over the years, came back again to welcome a new Pyr into their pack. They picked Francis (left), and, clearly, he is happy about it!

Swifties, the fate of this Ophelia can be a furever home with you!
Our friends at Grand Strand Humane Society asked us to help promote this delightful Pyr mix!
Her foster mom brags that Ophelia is housebroken and knows her basic commands. She is learning to walk on a leash. Ophelia needs a home with a six-foot fence, and she is a pet, not an LGD.
To learn more about Ophelia or to arrange to meet her, contact the good folks at Grand Strand Humane Society directly!

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.
