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.

The rescue Pyrs need a refill on their Royal Canin canned food, which we use to enrich kibble for the dogs who need to gain weight and administer pills.
We've placed 10 packs of twelve cans on their Amazon WishList, which is set up to ship directly to the rescue in Marshville, NC.
Thanks to all who can send a case or share this request for a stock up!

Let's wrap up #FureverHomeFriday by celebrating one more adoption!
Caitlin, Daren, Keller, and Nolan are honoring the memory of #CGPRAlum Hogan by welcoming another Pyr into their family. They picked Walrus!

Lauper is *so unusual*! This Pyr mix is perhaps part Golden but definitely part pop star!
This girl is all sweetness and sass, and her *true colors* are beautiful!
Lauper is fully vetted and ready to leave us for her furever home where she can snuggle *all through the night*!
To learn more about Lauper or any of the wonderful Pyrs and Pyr mixes in our care, head to carolinapyrrescue.com to read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet.

We are happy for every Pyr that we send home, but when the long-term residents are adopted, we smile a little bigger!
Cutter is a sweet, loving Pyr mix who waited patiently to be picked while all his littermates went home. Darren saw what we did and realized that Cutter is his #pyrfectmatch!
What a wonderful #FureverHomeFriday this is!

Who needs some good news to celebrate?!
We have THREE pictures to share on this #FureverHomeFriday!
Let's start with Terri Nunn, adopted by Andrea! This precious and stunning blonde Pyr mix pup "took Andrea's breath away"! (Bonus points for fans of the Pyrs old enough to get that reference! 😆🤣)

Darling Delilah came to us through a shelter partner. She is the sweetest of girls, calm, and gentle.
She would be a wonderful match for a family with children, cats, or smaller dogs of either sex.
To learn more about Delilah, read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Happy #TwoForTuesday!
We are squeaking in before the end of the day to remind you that we have the more adorable bonded pairs!
Adopting a bonded pair is smart. It saves gas. Just adopt two at the same time so you don't have to drive back to the rescue for a second Pyr! You know you are going to want another?!
To meet our bonded pairs or any of our wonderful Pyrs, fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.
