Adoption Policies Overview

  • Fencing
  • References
  • Visit
  • Donation

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.

An update on Joy.

Her eyes...look *great!*

She has had surgery to correct entropion in both eyes and is recovering beautifully. She will look a bit silly as her fur grows back, but she will live her best life without eye irritation or infection.

Joy and her sister Andi will be ready for their #FureverHome soon. They are a bonded pair that we are placing together. Interested? Fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Thanks to all who donated to cover the cost of joy's care. We appreciate you!

It has been a long day...and even though it is technically Tuesday now, we are still squeaking in with a #MakeoverMonday post before heading to bed!

Do y'all remember when Skye arrived in rescue in 2023? This sweet girls was near death, emaciated, and too weak to walk without assistance.

After a spectrum of tests, a flurry of treatments, and lots of tears, we learned she has EPI, which refers to a pancreatic enzyme deficiency. She takes a supplement with each meal, and, as you can tell, she is thriving!

Skye is a healthy, happy girl who is ready for her #FureverHome. She is deeply bonded with Stark, a male Pyr who came in at about the same time and has an autoimmune condition that impacts his coat. There two are deeply attached. We know it is a BIG ask to find a home open to a special needs bonded pair, but these two are worth it.

And, wow, just look at Skye's smile and gorgeous coat. She is a living reminder than things get better and a posterPyr for the power of love and second chances.

To learn if Skye and Stark are your Pyrfect matches, please read our policies and fill out an application at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Thanks for likes and shares!

As we just posted, Wally and Holly recovered from their corrective surgery for entropion and were adopted.

Next, it is Andi and Joy's turn. As we shared with you earlier this week, Andi and Joy are a bonded pair of sisters.

Like Wally and Holly, Joy has entropion. Her corrective surgery is scheduled for Tuesday of this coming week.

Can you help us cover her bill? We need to raise $160 more!

Our second #FureverHomeFriday picture is....Wally and Holly!

Linda and Robert fell for this precious bonded pair, who came to us from a shelter partner earlier this spring with entropion. Two eye surgeries later, they have a #fureverhome! Thanks to all who helped cover their vet bill and make their second chance possible!

Joy's entropion correction surgery is scheduled for Tuesday!

Can we get across the finish line and raise the funds to cover her bill? Between Facebook and Instagram, we are 2/3rds of the way there!

We've pinned the fundraiser to the top of our page. Thanks to all who can help us help her!

Ways to Help
Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue is based out of our president’s grooming and boarding facility in Indian Trail, NC, and trained and professional staff care for most of our Pyrs. We rely on a network of experienced foster families to care for Pyrs who are not immediately adoptable.

We need the following:

  • Forever homes: The number one way to help us is to adopt a Pyr.
  • Donate any of the following items: We sometimes need clean towels, new or gently-used crates, Diamond Natural Lamb and Rice blend kibble, Lysol Clean and Fresh Multipurpose cleaner (the yellow bottle), Tide HE, and paper towels. Please email president@carolinapyrrescue.com for current needs.  Many of these needs are listed on our Amazon Wish List.
  • Organize an adoption event at a local pet store or other suitable site in your community: Email events@carolinapyrenews.com
  • Donate: CGPR is a 501(c)3 non profit.  Every dollar you donate goes directly to our efforts to save these magnificent dogs.  Your donations are tax deductible, and you will receive a letter from CGPR for your records stating the details of your donation.  Click the ‘Donate’ button below to start the donation process via PayPals’ safe and secure webserver. You can also send a check to CGPR at 4015 Fawnbrooke Dr., Indian Trail, NC 28079.
  • Post, forward, and like: We share our Pyrs’ profiles on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. Any likes, forwards, retweets, and posts help them by introducing new people to the wonderful dogs we have in rescue. The majority of our adoptive families find us through the internet and social media.
  • Shop: Make us your charity through iGive, or GivingAssistant, and raise money while doing your normal shopping.
  • Donate through work: Take advantage of matching giving programs your employer may offer. Email donations@carolinapyrrescue.com.
