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.

Susan adopted #cgpralum Brian (formerly Wyatt) earlier this year and just came back for Jill.
Jill and Brian adore one another.
We try to warn people that one Pyr usually isn't enough!

Agree- one Pyrenees isn’t enough. We have two LGD and love them❤️
Awe sweet baby
Idk about that statement, I have an 11 month old velociraptor (pyr) on my hands right now 😅
Fantastic!!
The "one Pyr isn't enough" approach hasn't worked on Debbie yet, but I keep trying...
Bella shouldn't be here. She's been the unintended victim of sad turns of events in her humans' lives twice now. The loss of a home. A serious illness. Sometimes people think those who surrender dogs to rescues don't love their pets or are irresponsible. Sometimes, that's true. But just as often, we interact with people who are going through tragic things that can happen to any of us, that break our hearts, who love their pets, and who are making the hard decision to rehome because it is best for the dog. That's happened to Bella twice now. Let's make sure the third time is the charm for her.
Poor Bella! She looks freaked out! I hope she gets her forever home, soon!
I remember her. Sweet girl.
She is beautiful!
#CGPRAlum Coleman and his sister Luna (Blu when in rescue) are very happy to announce that they have a bald puppy to love and protect! Look at that smile!

I don't know--those bald ones take a lot longer to housebreak.
Very adorable I have to say with my pyr I do a lot of vacuuming
Absolutely precious!💜
Chloe (formerly Capri) understands
Pyr LOVE babies. Congrats
Nala is a precious young female who came to us through a shelter partner. She was surrendered by owners who weren't prepared for a Pyr or a puppy -- she's a poster girl for the trend of "pandemic puppies" coming into rescues and shelters now. Nala is Pyrfect, and she's *exactly* what we expect from a Pyr her age -- playful, mischievous, smart, & curious. She will thrive with owners who have the time to socialize her, provide her with new experiences, establish clear behavioral boundaries, and train with positive reinforcement. She would love to join a family with a social male dog her size as a rumpus buddy!

When you have to get extra good sleep during your nap in order to recover from the last brutal week while also resting up to face this one. As modeled by #cgpralum Bruce. Happy #sleepysunday!

That's a pup who understands the struggle 😂
He is so funny!
Willow totally just got exhausted in that one random spot today, not because supper was cooking on the stove nearby...
Barkley is our longest resident at the rescue. This confident livestock guardian has Pyrtitude, and he needs experienced Pyr or guardian dog owners. While he would thrive being back in a pasture with chickens and/or goats, he is a fence tester, and he needs a particularly solid and secure fence. The typical livestock fencing most folks with farms have isn't going to cut it for Barkley. He needs a stockade fence or an extra secure metal chain link fence with a hot wire. That being said, this boy is a Pyr's Pyr, and people who love the breed will love him as much as we do!
Barkley is neutered, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated.
Barkley is grateful for likes and shares!

Deanna and Sam picked Bear, who is a Pyrfect match for their female Pyr, Poppy. I mean, the floofs already are hanging out and "drinking" White Paw together?! 🤣😀😆🥰
