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 always need cleaning supplies: paper towels, Tide HE, and Lysol Clean & Fresh (the yellow bottle).
We are glad to send stickers and information about the rescue to give to donors!

Fawn is a young adult female with a big Pyrsonality!
This lovely girl will thrive with experienced owners who can help her practice her good manners. She's the sassy type common in this breed and that Pyr lovers love, and she will thrive in the right home.
She's probably too much dog for families with very small children or older dogs and small dogs.
Fawn would LOVE a male rumpus buddy her age and size who is her match. In fact, she needs that balance!

What day is it?!
Our FAVORITE day! The day that we share adopted pictures with the rescue Pyrs' fans. It is #FureverHomeFriday!
We are celebrating the adoption of Maeve, a sweet Pyr mix who came to us positive for heartworms, completed treatment, and went to live the dream with Renee.
Look at those smiles!

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Please adopt her if you can!
Her beauty is beyond compare
With floofy locks of white hairs,
With sparkling eyes of chocolate brown,
Her smile is like a breath of spring.
Her bark is soft like summer rain.
And she wants to sleep on your sofa!

Stormtrooper came with this unique name that we are pretty sure refers to his handsome white coat.
His Pyrsonality, however, is more Ewok than imperial soldier. He is silly, derpy, and precious! This boy loves everyone!
Stormtrooper will thrive in a household that includes a playful female dog his size or smaller dogs of either sex, cats, and/or kids.
