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.

Darling Hazel is the last of her litter in our care, and we can't figure out why she is still here at the rescue. I mean...look at that face?! She is Pyrfect!!
This girl is all the things we Pyr people love about juvenile females: she's sweet, sassy, and charming!
Hazel would be a great match for adopters with a large adult male dog or smaller dogs of either sex. She's a good match for a family with children.

Happy #MakeoverMonday, friends of the Pyrs!
Today's good news is that Hope has completed treatment for heartworms and is ready to be adopted!
We suspect that this girl is a mix, likely with Lab, and we hope that whoever adopts her does a DNA test and shares the results.
Hope has not had the best start in life. She was bred, dumped, and on her own as a stray for months. She is blossoming in rescue and will need patient humans who continue to earn her trust. Hope will thrive in a quieter home, perhaps with other friendly dogs her size or smaller. She likely would be happy as an only dog, too.
To learn more about Hope, read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.
Thanks for likes and shares!

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.

- 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.
