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.

Precious, precious, precious girls!! Wishing the 3 girls extra loving homes!❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful Sabrina is the sweetest of girls. She is loving and gentle.
She is ready to live her best life in a furever home that can include kids and other dogs. Her coat will keep growing back in, and whoever adopts her will be so lucky to be part of this next chapter of her glow up! We want lots of pupdates!
To meet Sabrina, read our policies and fill out an application at carolinapyrrescue.com.
Finn loves love. ALL the love. ALL the time. He is what we call a "Velcro" Pyr because he wants to be right up on people. He is not the typical aloof male of the breed.
Finn's first owner surrendered him after they were diagnosed with a terminal illness.
This healthy, happy boy is fully vaccinated, neutered, and heartworm negative. He is ready to leave rescue now.
To meet Finn or any of our wonderful dogs, please read our policies and fill out an application at carolinapyrrescue.com.
Handsome boy! Love his name!
Oh baby boy… I’m pretty sure Tofu would be upset if I brought home another Velcro Pyr, or else I’d have brought you home already.
Oh my heart! ♥️
Wishing you a plop-your-ass-down-and-don't-move kind of weekend.

Amen to that I concur with Willow
Love this!
willow….that’s exactly how i look when i’m waiting for pizza delivery
On board w that!
We love pups! And ... pups are work. Lots of work. We receive emails all the time from folks who purchase a cute, white fluff ball...and then have an "Oh, sh*t!" realization. Sadly, many breeders ghost buyers who have questions and concerns, and so that labor falls to rescues like us.
Colby is a sweet boy who will be a dream match for someone ready for a young male. He's friendly, loving, playful, spunky, and all the good things we love about juvenile Pyrs.
Colby would love to join a family with a social, female adult to show him the ropes.
To meet Colby or any of our wonderful Pyrs, please read our policies and fill out an application at carolinapyrrescue.com.
Sweet boy!
Stark is doing so well.
We adore this sweet boy.
We are starting to wonder, however, if we have a Pyr/AT-AT walker mix! A PAT-PAT Walkenees? 🤣😂🤣😂
