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 adults and $350 for puppies. This includes full vaccination; veterinary care when needed; spay/neuter; heartworm testing and, if necessary, treatment; and professional grooming.

YAS! This is the first picture that I have seen on here where the adoptive parents do not already have a ginormous dog. Perhaps they will be back for another pry soon.🤓

Prys are so wonderfully goofy.😆
Oh my I miss my Prys with that goofy look and the big leaning love.
My pyr is spoiled
Y'all remember the first photo? We first shared it last month--of CGPR-alum Charlotte staying warm and dry while keeping her eyes on and her toes in her yard.
Well, her humans, tired of paying to heat the outdoors, bought her the best of doggie doors so that she can be inside or outside and pick one or the other as she pleases.
How is it going?
See the second picture...and Charlotte's favorite new place to stand! 😆🤣😁🙄

Difficult to outsmart a Pyr, but a good try.
HaHaHa!!! So darn smart they are!!!!
Nothing like a Pyr! ❤️
Well that marks that off my list then
Need Info asap on this door please!!
How sweet
Our Bo does this as well. The door is a great idea. Well at least the concept, lol.
laughing so hard
Great IDEA...It is a mush smaller door and with the flap...much much less air is moving...kudos..and she can now do it at hear liking ...she might just want a real dog house
wow, if we put that in we'd have bears in for entertainment
If there's one picture that sums up a Pyr, this is it.
Andy, Gretchen, and Bodie the Newf decided that Toby was their Pyrfect match!

What a beautiful pair!
Looks just like our Milo!!! They could be brothers! 🙂
Very adorable.
Kanga (formerly Jillian), the young female Pyr with the distinctive hop in her gait, checked in from her furever home. She just turned one year old!
She is best friends with *everyone* in the neighborhood and gets *all* the pets on her walks.
Here she is...soaking in all that love and sunshine. There's just *something* about the relaxed, confident Pyrsonality of a dog who is secure in their world--especially true of those who have experienced the uncertainty of homelessness and the harshness of neglect like she did as a pup.
This is what rescue looks like.
❤❤❤

My dog trainer just sent me this pic. Not sure how old, but I do know she’s a girl. I’d try to take her but I’ve heard females do t do well together.
Kanga is lucky to have a wonderful home so happy for you.
Beautiful
Beautiful baby
Oh Jillian/Kanga so absolutley beautiful. Happy Easter to you and your Mom!!!
