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.

Arya is an absolute love who is housebroken, well-mannered, social with everyone, and a joy to be around.

I can't remember if I ordered or not is there anything available for purchase
Yay! I'm so excited! We didn't enter Dublin this year because we had some significant unexpected expenses come up, but we still can't wait to get our annual pyr calendar in the mail! As long as our house & property behaves in 2023 we plan to get our pretty little girl into the 2024 calendar again!
Dixie's before-and-after glow up photos.
We think she looks pretty amazing!
Her smirk suggests she liked her dirt accents and misses those Carolina clay highlights. 🤣🤷♀️🤣🤷♀️
Karen A Rios Venegas look at your transport girl!!
Beautiful girl
Oh pretty girl🥰
Sweet face
Marian is a bouncy, fluffy elf on four paws.
This pocket Pyr is best matched with experienced dog owners or folks able to invest the time reinforcing the manners she's learning in rescue. She's was seemingly given little guidance about how we expect dogs to act before coming to us, but she's learning, and she wants to please people and belong. She's going to be on Santa Paws's nice list (someday)!
She is spayed, heartworm negative, and ready for her furever family. Let's get her #HomeForTheHowlidays!
To meet any of our adorable Pyrs, please read our policies and fill out an application at carolinapyrrescue.com.
I, too, am an excited humper. 😂😂😂😂😂☠️☠️

Thanks, y'all. I'll post a campus map here with directions to parking and the site of the event in the next day or so!
Wynnie for sure…George if I can get another pair of hands.
I’ll bring Zackie!!!!
Do we just bring our Pry and show up?
We’d love to come with at least one, maybe two of our pack!
Saint and I will be there.
I would be glad to help.
I think that sounds like a lot of fun Papi (formerly Rex) and I will try to make it
B and the kids can bring Addie
Gracie will be there!
Oliver would love to help!!
Smith and Wesson joined the rescue family today!
We know these brothers are Great Pyrenees and Chow Chow mixes.
Does that make them Great Chowaneeses? Chowpyrs? Pow Pows?
Thanks to Lance for giving them a lift.
Look for their glow up pictures soon! Can't wait to see what these boys look like groomed!
I’m looking for a Great Pyrenees. I’ve owned 3. My childhood dog had chow and golden on him. I’ve been waiting for the right dogs and I love males. What can I do to get these dogs??? Have a big back yard with fence but of course they would be indoor pets!!!!
We recently lost our Chowanese. He was 14 and the best dog ever! Hope they find a furever home soon!
These are quite literally the cutest dogs I’ve ever seen.
That's what you you call " Pyrfenders". You'd better back off. Great names
Pow Pows for sure. OMG the combination of those coats!?!?!
So cute!!! Definitely pow pows!!!! Hope they find the perfect family!!
Pow Pows - because Pyrs aren't exciting enough to groom! 🤪
Good Lord the SHEDDING??!!?!?!?! My vacuum saw these guys and roomba'd itself right out the front door 😃 they're adorable!
Makes them a real interesting mix 😃
2 of my favorite breeds in 1? They are gorgeous before their appointments, I can't wait to see their after pictures! 💖💖
They are adorable!!! Such a cute mix! I pray they get a good home together. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
With names like theirs Pow Pows for sure
Definitely pow pows
So adorable!❤️
Ok, I literally ran to Larysa to show her these pics. We have both grown up with Chow mixes. Are they a bonded pair, or can they be separated?
Definitely Designer breed of the future
Awwww. My first dogs were chows and now I have 2 pyrs-best names ever
Can’t wait to see them when they’re cleaned up - they’re gorgeous as they are!!!
Holy dog fur!!!!
They are precious
I think they’re Lions!! How beautiful!!
They are so cute!!!
Amber Schwanger this made me think of you!
So adorable!❤️💖
We need Sebastian’s cousins Leah Rebecca
Let's play a game!
Is this a photo of 1) an archaeologist uncovering a Roman mosaic or 2) me cleaning up the mud our Pyrs tracked in the house after going out to piddle this morning in this deluge of rain? 🤔
#pyrsbeingpyrs #PyrsAreFamily
