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.

We are often contacted by folks wanting smaller Pyr mixes -- dogs who look the part, act the part, but come in petite packages.
Well, we have three pocket Pyrs now!
Ed, Wanda, and Mary Ann are all the good things about the greatest breed but all are in the 75 lbs. or smaller range. (Wanda is still growing but she's not likely to be a large girl based on her current size.)
All of these dogs are sweet, social, and loving.
We are looking for a home for Wanda and Mary Anne together. They are bonded.
Ed can join a family with a female dog his size or smaller dogs of either sex.
All of these dogs would be great matches for families with kids or grandkids visiting.
To learn more about our pocket Pyrs or any of the wonderful dogs in our care, read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

We have just over 40 wonderful Pyrs in our care...and no one scheduled to go to a furever home this weekend.
Applications always slow down in late spring and early summer.
This year, they have ground to a screeching halt for us and many of our sister rescues. We get it. There's a lot going on in the world.
But dogs still need us, and maybe we need the love that dogs provide more than ever.
If you are thinking of welcoming a new family member into your pack, now is a Pyrfect time to adopt! If you want to make a pawsitive impact in the life of a good dog, your Pyrfect match is waiting!

We have raised $350 towards Marshall's $1,000 treatment for heartworms. Any donations help! Large and small, we appreciate them all!
Thanks for your support of the rescue Pyrs!Happy Fri-YAY, friends of the Pyrs!
Sweet Marshall, who came to us last month as an owner surrender when his human faced a health crisis of his own, will begin treatment for heartworms soon. Marshall has a many-time adopter and friend of the rescue interested in welcoming him into their pack. We just need to get this loving, silly boy healthy.
If you can donate any amount toward his $1,000 vet bill, we appreciate it, and so does Marshall.

Folks in the Lincolnton, NC area, please keep an eye out for Beau and contact his owners via the info in the flyer if spotted. He is missed!
This content isn't available right now
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook

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.
- Shop: Make us your charity through iGive, or GivingAssistant, and raise money while doing your normal shopping.
