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.

In today's #WhyAreYouStillHereWednesday post, we are reminding you that Cutter and his brother Forky are still waiting patiently for their #FureverHome.
They've spent their whole lives in rescue. Perhaps because they are Pyr mixes. Mom was a Pyr, and dad was a Pyr/Shepherd/Lab mix. But we promise that they couldn't be more Pyrfect!
They are social, loving, and playful. They would each like to join a home with a playful female dog their size or perhaps the right male. Small dogs are great. So are kids.
Are you open to giving one of these boys the loving home they deserve?

The sad news is that Lana is heartworm positive.
The happy news is that a fan of the Pyrs donated to cover the whole cost of her treatment!
Big thanks and wags of the tail to that wonderful Pyrent!

We are squeaking in before the end of #TwoForTuesday to let you know that our newest bonded pair is ready to meet adopters!
Charlie and Katherine and likely siblings. They are 8 or 9 months old, as sweet as can be, and will thrive placed together in a home where they are the only large dogs. Small dogs ok. Kids are great!
To meet these delightful duo, read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Early July is peak season for lost dogs.
Even dogs who might not otherwise bolt out of a door or jump a fence can do so when frightened or startled by fireworks.
Take a few minutes this week to make sure that collars and tags on your floofs are accurate, legible, and secure!

#CGPRAlum Maeve (formerly Gypsy Rose) and #CGPRAlum Murphy found the Pyrfect way to snuggle when it is warm out -- just touching enough to be sweet without being sweaty!
We hope that you took some time to rest and snuggle on this #sleepysunday, too!

Avery is still waiting for her #FureverHome.
This darling young female has beautiful tan and grey badger markings on her ears and the sweetest smile. She is just precious!
Avery's Pyrsonality matches her looks! She is as loving as she is beautiful! She would be a wonderful match for a family with a large male dog or smaller dogs of either sex, kids, and cats.
To meet lovely Avery or any of the wonderful dogs in our care, please read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.
Thanks for likes and shares!

We have a second adoption to celebrate on this #FureverHomeFriday!
#CGPRAlum Lilah (left) brought her humans back to the rescue for a buddy. They picked Marshall (right)! Thanks to all who chipped in and covered his heartworm treatment so that he could have this second chance!
