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.

Billy was abandoned.
Someone tied him to a tree in rural North Carolina and left him. Perhaps to die.
But he was found. A man and his dog heard Billy crying and contacted animal control.
Billy needs groceries and to gain some weight, but this sweet young adult is going to be ok. He is as precious as can be, and he already is embracing his best life.
Billy will be neutered next week and can continue to gain weight in his #fureverhome.
To meet Billy or any of the wonderful dogs in our care, please read our policies and fill out an application at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Who would do such a horrible thing?!?😢
This hurts my heart.
#TrueLoveTuesday is a good time to remind you to give your Pyr their monthly heartworm preventative. We have to take care of the hearts of these big loving dogs!
Sweet Rocky, who came to us through our friends at Animal Advocates of Moore County NC, will leave us for a wonderful #fureverhome once he has completed treatment for heartworms.
This disease is increasingly common and totally preventable. Treatment is costly and time-consuming. Make sure you take care of this chore each month!

Happy #TrueLoveTuesday!
Congrats to #CGPRAlum Magnolia (formerly Ava when in rescue) on being a Pyr-of-honor in her humans' wedding!
Wishing a lifetime of love to all!

The cool thing about doing dog rescue is that when humans act foolish, we already are surrounded by dogs....and are going to respond to negativity by ignoring it and....helping more dogs!

Darling Rosie is a pocket Pyr, which is a term we use for those floofs who are on the smaller side. She's in the 65 lbs. range.
Don't let the small package deceive you, however. She has a BIG Pyrsonality and will thrive with owners experienced with sassy girls of this breed.
We don't begrudge her that Pyrtitude. She came to us through a shelter partner and was part of an animal cruelty seizure. Her joyful, spunky vibe is a reminder of how resilient dogs are. She is chasing happiness head on now!
For that reason, Rosie is not a good match for a family with other female dogs and small dogs. She might make a great rumpus buddy for a large male dog who likes to play rough and can hold his own with feisty females!
Rosie is spayed, vaccinated, and negative for heartworms.
She is ready for her #FureverHome now!
To meet Rosie or any of our wonderful Pyrs, please read our policies and schedule an appointment to come to the rescue at carolinapyrrescue.com.
Rosie appreciates likes and shares!
