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.

Mondays after holiday weekends are always hard! So here are some smiles from Hazel to boost your spirits!
This sweet girl is so happy, and she is waiting for her #fureverhome. Hazel will thrive with a playful male dog her size or smaller dogs of either sex who would enjoy a bigger rumpus buddy. Kids are ok for her!
To meet darling Hazel or any of our dogs, please read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Paige is officially *not contagious* and confirmed to have been suffering from severe neglect.
Today she was able to join Hattie and Halo, the two other puppies in our care, for play time, and she is so happy to be part of a pack again. Pyrs are social dogs!
Paige's skin is significantly less inflamed, and she already has fuzzies on some of her bald areas.

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.
