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 excited to welcome a new member to the CGPR rescue team. Meet Birgit!
#CGPRAlum Rylo (whose floofs you can see in the second picture) and his humans trained her to test the rescue Pyrs. Moving forward, we will be able to socialize the rescue Pyrs with her and let adopters know who is cat-friendly.

I bought a silly tattoo sleeve for Optimus to model for a cute post promoting the flash tattoo pawty at Haylo Healing Arts Lounge next Saturday.
I was interrupted by a phone call before I could take the picture.
And this is how I found Optimus when I came back into the living room. When I called his name, he rolled over to show off his new "ink"! 😂🤣😁
This could be YOU next Saturday!
To get the Pyrfect tattoo, see the information on the flyer and reach out to our friends at Haylo to schedule your appointment. Space is limited!

This beautiful girl came to the rescue today.
Nope, she's not a golden mix.
That's Carolina red clay. 🤣😂
Stay tuned for a post-groom makeover photo later this week.
Oh, what is her name, you ask?
It is Ginger. 😉
Thanks to Lance for giving her a lift.

Drum roll...
Pour a glass of something to raise in a toast...
...to the rescue Pyrs' longtime friend Sue...and her new fur family member Heather!
Heather was born in rescue and watched her littermates get adopted over the last year and a half. This week, this sweet Pyr mix was invited to join Sue's pack, which includes a male Pyr-mix named Dodger (second picture, on the left). He is Heather's new BFFF.
We are so happy that Heather has found her #PyrfectMatch! What a way to end the work week and this #FureverHomeFriday!

Have you scheduled your appointment for CGPR's flash tattoo pawty on April 12 at Haylo Healing Arts Lounge?
So far, design #1 is in the lead among those who have scheduled appointments...with #4 close behind!
Honestly, I'm still torn between two designs, and I'm not sure if I will get one or both done that day!

Our Cooper is handsome and has leading-man looks, too! Do you think the name fits?!
This adult came to us as an owner surrender when his first family could no longer care for him. His best match will be people familiar with this breed and fans of Pyrtitude. Cooper will thrive in a home with good boundaries and positive correction when needed. He is social with most female dogs and could join a home with the right female Pyr or smaller dogs of either sex that are calm.
Cooper is not an LGD and is an inside dog, but he is familiar with chickens and goats and could be happy as a couch guardian in a home with some farm critters in the yard.
To learn more about Cooper or any of our wonderful dogs, please read our policies and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.
