The volunteers and rescue Pyrs welcome adopted Pyrs, their people, and their fans to the 2024 Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue Pyrnic, which is what we call our homecoming picnic. This year’s Pyrnic will be held at the site of the new rescue in Marshville, NC on Oct. 12 from 12 – 3. The address for the Pyrnic will be at the bottom of your ticket.

BBQ and sides from Texas Roadhouse are on the menu. Beer and N/A drinks will also be provided. To help us order enough … but not too much … food, please RSVP before Oct. 6 by purchasing your tickets at this link. We ask adults and children 11 and over for a $20 donation/person. Children under 10 are free.

2) Can guests bring dogs who are not Pyrs? Yes! All dog-friendly dogs are welcome! All dogs should be spayed/neutered and current on vaccines. 

3) What if I didn’t adopt from CGPR? Can I still attend? Yes, we welcome all people who love Pyrs and all Pyrs that are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines.
