Sometimes, we don't get a chance to post a new dog's profile before we have a furever home lined up.

Why?

Because we have the Pyrfect approved applicants waiting for that dog!

That's what happened to sweet Loki. His new Pyrents will be coming to meet him soon!

If you are ready to adopt in the near future but don't know if your Pyrfect match is at the rescue now, we recommend filling out the application to schedule a meet-and-greet anyway.

We notify approved applicants as possible matches come into rescue, and your VIP (very important Pyr) might be on their way!

You can find a summary of our adoption process and the application at carolinapyrrescue.com. ... See MoreSee Less

Deadpool is lucky to be alive. He dodged the bullet of being surrendered to a county shelter as a "dangerous" dog.

This social, juvenile boy, who we estimate to be 9 months old, was surrendered to a shelter by his first owners for killing a chicken.

Because of this history of "aggression," he was labeled as rescue-only per county policy. In other words, he couldn't be adopted directly from the shelter because he was considered high risk of harm. This label is often a death sentence because of the potential risk and liability associated with rehoming "dangerous" dogs. Some counties won't even allow rescues to pull these dogs.

We are grateful that the shelter staff and a rescue partner had better judgement then Deadpool's first owners and worked with us to help him.

Pyr puppies *must be trained* to work safely with chickens and any other critters, and this process takes about two years, during which a competent LGD learns through guidance from humans and adult dogs while also maturing. A juvenile Pyr who treats a chicken as a squeaky toy is not inherently aggressive or a danger to humans.

Deadpool loves everyone at the rescue, including humans and other dogs, but he is a little scared of Birgit the cat! He is a happy, friendly boy, and an adopter is at greater risk of being bit by a human member of our board than this dog.

Deadpool (not his original name--we renamed him) is a distinctive-looking dog. We hope that his breeder and first owners recognize him and are reading this. We hope that others who think plopping puppies into pastures is acceptable are reading this. There are a lot of people, including on social media, promoting irresponsible ownership of guardian breeds. Sadly, Deadpool's situation isn't unique. We see it all the time.

Our message to those people who make decisions that can get good dogs killed is this: if you breed and sell pups to people too ignorant or lazy to train their LGDs, you are the problem. If you buy a pup and you are too ignorant or lazy to train it, you are the problem. There's abundant good information on training LGDs that is freely available online. No social, healthy juvenile deserves a death sentence because of your greed, laziness, and stupidity. If this reads as harsh, good.

To everyone else, let's celebrate Deadpool's second chance and find him the home he deserves! This sweet boy can go to a home with kids, a female dog his size, and smaller dogs of either sex. Perhaps no chickens is best, but he probably would be just fine with backyard chickens with guidance from an experienced owner.

BIG thanks to Blair from the Humane Society of Wilkes Co. for advocating for Pyrs in her county's shelter and working with us so quickly to help this goodest boy. Thanks to Rhonda for giving him a lift.

We welcome those who want to visit Deadpool to read our policies and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Darling Colette was found by a Good Samaritan along with her brother, Hodge. We estimate these young Pyrs to be about 6 months old.

They are not particularly bonded, and they can go to separate homes. Colette would be a wonderful match for a family with time to enjoy training and socializing a juvenile dog. She would like to join a home with a large male dog or smaller dogs of either sex. Kids and cats ok.

Colette is fully vetted and ready to leave rescue!

If you would like to visit her, please read our policies and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Happy #truelovetuesday!

We have THREE darling bonded pairs waiting for a family with room in their hearts and on their sofa for TWO Pyrs.

Is two Pyrs a lot?!

Nah! As someone with 2.75 Pyrs (one is a tri-paw), I can pledge that more Pyrs is better! They keep each other company. The furballs are so large that they are tumbleweeds and easy to pick up -- practically self-cleaning! The difference between one and two Pyrs barking is minimal and just like listening to loud people talk sh*t to each other. Above all, because Pyrs evolved to live with other Pyrs and guard together, their Pyrsonalities shine in pairs. Indeed, knowing our Pyrs through their relationships with one another as well as with us has been so rewarding.

To meet these wonderful dogs, please read our policies and fill out an application to schedule a visit at carolinapyrrescue.com.

The best way to help rescues take in urgent dogs at risk of PTS is to help us get adoptable dogs out the door to make space. Promote adoptables. Share profiles. Most rescues operate at capacity and need to place one to take in one. ... See MoreSee Less
