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.

Our friends at Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue have taken in two lovely dogs looking for their furever homes. Let's help find their Pyrfect match!
Cotton (photo on the left) is a six-year-old female Pyr, and Jonas (picture on the right) is a one-year-old Pyr mix.
If you would like to learn more about these dogs, click the links below to their bios, and reach out to Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue directly.

We are flattered to be compared to the wise Yukon Cornelius. 😂Early Thanksgiving reflection🦃
We’re thankful for Carolina Pyr Rescue and the incredible work they do. Connecting Pyrs and people so they can bounce back reminds me of a quote from holiday expert Yukon Cornelius:
"Didn't I ever tell you about Bumbles? Bumbles bounce!”

We welcome supporters to collect items for the rescue Pyrs through Giving Trees. This year's needs are listed in the graphic below.
Please note, because it is best for the rescue Pyrs to feed them the same, high quality food, we can't use donations of different foods. We welcome donations of Diamond Naturals brand Lamb and Rice Adult Formula (red bag), but we also have included "ornaments" with QR codes to our kibble fund and heartworm treatment fund for those who prefer to make a cash donation rather than give an item.
Please, PM us or email us at president@carolinapyrrescue.com for support making your tree a success or with questions!
If you sponsor a giving tree for the rescue Pyrs, please let us know and send us some pictures to share on our social media pages!
Thank you, as always, for your support of the rescue Pyrs!

Beatrice, a young female, came to us from a shelter partner today.
As you can tell, Beatrice has not had proper care for a long time, if ever. She's very thin, and her coat is patchy. She's had a litter of pups at some point in the past.
Even though humans have let her down, Beatrice is as sweet as can be.
This girl's glow-up is going to be magnificent!
Thanks to Jennifer for giving Beatrice a lift to rescue.

To wrap up #FureverHomeFriday, we are happy to accounce that Shannon (the rescue's president) has decided to keep Quasimodo, the Pyr to the immediate left of her.
When Quasi came back to the rescue after his first placement didn't work out, Shannon began introducing him to her dogs to better assess and work on his behavior outside of the kennel setting.
It turns out, he is the Pyrfect match for her pack, and so Quasimodo will stay at the farm furever!

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.
