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 adults and $350 for puppies. This includes full vaccination; veterinary care when needed; spay/neuter; heartworm testing and, if necessary, treatment; and professional grooming.

Thank you to all who participated in the #BettyWhiteChallenge. We raised over $2,100 for the rescue Pyrs!

#PyrsAreFamily
truth
That's exactly how my Moose sleeps....
Thats my BIGLEY baby.
Fenster is with Tito in spirit
Thank you for being a friend.
Helping us help time and again.
Your heart is true,
You're a friend of the Pyrs!
So if you threw a pawty,
And invited everyone you knew,
You would see the biggest gift would be from us,
And the card attached would say....
Thank you for being a friend!
Today is the #BettyWhiteChallenge, and, friends of the Pyrs, we are challenging YOU to support us AND help us thank a friend.
Pet Tender Angels Rescue and Rehabilitation has taken in many Pyrs and Pyr mixes, vetted them, and transferred them to us for rehoming and adoption. Most recently, this includes Willow and Ella.
So today, we ask you to honor Betty White by supporting us and then popping over to Pet Tender Angels Rescue and Rehabilitation's Facebook page (link in the thread) and making a donation there, too, to thank them for being a friend of the Pyrs!
For those who prefer donating through PayPal, we'll pop that link in the thread.
Thanks for likes and shares!

Thank all of YOU for the work you do for these beautiful dogs! My next dog will be a Pyr!
Thank you for everything you do for the Pyr's in need. Merveille's story was inspiring and gave me hope knowing there are organizations like yours out there. Wish I had more to give.

Thankyou Carolina Pyr Rescue for teaming up with us. We truly love the Pyrs and will always want to help them. We couldn't do it without your help. Thank you.
Instead of our usual #sleepysunday post, we are celebrating a #snowysunday here in the Carolinas!
Let's see pics of your Pyrs enjoying the winter weather. Post them in the thread!
We'll start! Here's #cgpralum Optimus enjoying a rumpus with our neighbor Rosie.

Finn's first snow
My Maggie (rip 2020) loved the snow ❄️❄️. This pic is from 2014.
Fynnley (6) & Brody (1)
Snowy girl she didn't like the ice falling in her eyes.
Leo and Olive. Loving the cold icy weather!
Atticus is currently laying in the livingroom having a sleepy Sunday because we have rain 😅 he's disappointed
Teddy loves it!
Brutus 💙
Polar Dogs! Sam and Ellie
Teddy is making a dog version of snow angels
Mine are all pyr mixes.
Paxton (GP) and his collie sister (who looks fierce but isn’t) romping in this morning’s snow!
Lilly and Finley sure love it.
Only icy here but she’s out with her kid!
coop and roxy
Stephanie and Chris couldn't pick among the wonderful Pyrs we have now, and so they decided to welcome *both* Sadie and Austin into their family!
#cgpradopted #PyrsAreFamily
Congratulations and have a great life
Indecision is a real consequence when adopting there!😂❤️
Congratulations!
They're like potato chips. That's what I tell myself when I try to figure out why I have 3.
Can’t blame them for choosing two!💕
2 is always better than one!
So happy Austin gets to have a new sister to bond with him in his furever home! Love another two-fer!
👏👏👏👏👏
They are doing great together at home! I’m so happy we adopted them both ❤️
So wonderful!
They’re beautiful!!!
We love pictures of our alum living their best lives.
Like #cgpralum Trooper at Biltmore.
That smile says it all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
#PyrsAreFamily
Susan, Dave, and Elisha picked our wonderful bonded pair of brothers.
#cgpradopted #PyrsAreFamily
Lucky dogs!!
Yay!
So very happy for these beautiful brothers!❤️💙
Awesome guys, thanks for taking the two!
Bless you Susan, Dave and Elisha!! So happy they were able to stay together❣️
That’s awesome!
Congratulations! 🎈
Beautiful animals
👏👏👏👏👏👏
#cgpralum Tobin turned five this past weekend, and her Pyrents had a little pawty for her with a dog cake!
#PyrsAreFamily
"Why is my food burning and y'all are singing about it?"
Happy Birthday to Tobin!
Happy doggy day.
Happy Birthday Tobin!! 🎊🎉🎂💖😊
Isn't it amazing how much they love us, and how much we love them?
#cgpralum Luna (formerly Blu) and her sister ❤
#PyrsAreFamily
that’s really adorable
They really are the BEST dog ever! This is my Luna with my grand baby! She loves them unconditionally 🥰❤️
I prefer them to people they are so loving and loyal xxx
What beautiful pictures!
Sooooo sweet!❤️❤️
This is so precious and totally disproves the idea that people have to get rid of their dogs when they have a baby!
Pyrents and friends of the rescue Robyn and Nate decided to add to their pack!
Ned came to us with a congenital deformation of the long bones in his front legs. He's probably going to be a shorty, and while he won't ever hike the Appalachian Trail or run a marathon, he can have a wonderful, happy life in a home willing to support his mobility as he ages. We are so grateful for folks who love the special needs Pyrs as much as we do. As we say, none of the Pyrs are perfect, but they are all Pyrfect!
#cgpralum Bruce and Savannah have welcomed their little brother with open paws.
#cgpradopted #PyrsAreFamily #fureverhome
Congratulations and have a great life
Wonderful 💕🐾💯💙
Look how happy he is!! I have had several special needs dogs. They have each been very special and entirely lovable!
How wonderful! Look at that face, he has truly found home
Congratulations Ned! You hit the jackpot on furever homes with Robin and Nate!
Congrats. Pyr are the best
So much love in that photo
We're coining the term "Micro Pyr" for this one. 🤣
Congratulations, what a great furry friend.
One of the best things about rescue is that we are constantly reminded that even when the situation seems hopeless in the moment, it doesn't have to stay that way. Good things, even great things, happen, too.
When longtime friends of the rescue and Pyrents Phyllis and Doug texted to ask if Merveille was spoken for, there was zero debate about what our answer would be.
Merveille, weighing about sixty pounds (and still gaining), is now in her #fureverhome with #cgpralum Remy to guide her.
Thanks to everyone who chipped in for her vet bills, sent her supplies, visited her, and cared about Merveille.
Together we made a miracle happen, y'all. ❤
#cgpradopted #PyrsAreFamily
Yea Merveille! You are going to have the best life!
Congratulations and have a great life
🥰🥰🥰
