Babe knows she's a babe! Look at that smile!

This confident girl is a Velcro-Pyr. She wants all the lovies from humans, & because she's dog-selective, she's best as an only-dog or perhaps matched with a mellow older male who, like her, has no interest in playing. A quieter home with adults is probably best. She's definitely a snuggle buddy looking for a sofa.

To learn more Babe, please read our policies & fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Yes, Cooper is *that* handsome!

This boy is a Pyr's Pyr--stubborn and sweet in equal measure!

He would love to join a home with Pyr-experienced owners who know and love the Pyrtitude we associate with this breed.

Happy #MakeoverMonday, friends of the Pyrs!

Darling Skye has been a long term resident at the rescue, and she deserves a home of her own. We would love to place her together with her bestie, Stark. They came into rescue at the same time, and they are deeply bonded.

Skye came to us as sick as any Pyr for whom we have cared. She had been abandoned by her family when they moved, and while neighbors stepped in and helped her, no matter what they fed her, Skye had loose stools. Despite their efforts, she was emaciated when she arrived in rescue.

Her condition worsened until we got her diagnosis: exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), which is a condition where the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes to properly digest food. EPI is treatable with an affordable supplement that Skye takes with each meal to replace those enzymes.

She's healthy, happy, and thriving, and so is Stark, although he will always have a patchy coat. We get it: special needs dogs are more work and expense, but Skye and Stark are loving, social, friendly dogs who deserve a sofa of their own, and their needs and additional costs are minimal.

Many of us deal with chronic health conditions and are kicking butt each day anyway. Dogs are no different! Special dogs are the best dogs!

To learn more about them, please reach out via PM or email us at president@carolinapyrrescue.com.

Thanks for likes and shares. We would love to get Skye and Stark into a home of their own for the holidays!

Francis is a charming young male that came to us through a guardian angel who stepped up when he was wandering their neighborhood as a stray.

Stay turned for more information and pictures after his groom!

Shall we meet another contestant in our 2026 calendar contest?!

Y'all might remember Winifred as Rhonda, one of a half dozen dogs who came to us from western NC rescue and shelter partners in the immediate aftermath of Helene just over a year ago.

Winifred remembers that time in her life and explained how CGPR helped her: "I was in a pickle for sure. After the hurricane of 2024 hit Asheville, my beau Ned (formerly Mark) and I got lost from our home. We were wandering around hungry and thirsty, and I could feel my eight puppies kicking around in my belly complaining.

Luckily Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue gave us shelter and helped me rear my puppies! I loved them and was a good mom. A few months later a lady came to meet me. She brought Jabu the parrot and a handsome Shepherd named Buddy. They liked me so much and asked if I wanted to join their family. I jumped in the car with a resounding yes!

Two weeks later, Buddy got sick, and I helped my new mom care for him and say goodbye. I laid long hours with him and was patient and quiet when he was sick.

Today, I am loved and safe in my home....I go on two walks each day, and the neighborhood kids run to stroke my magnificent hair when they see me out. I love to snuggle with my mom who showers me with kisses and hugs. Jabu my parrot likes to chirp a lot, but I don't mind. I stay cool under the fan and always have fresh water and nutritious food. I have my own door so I can go in the back yard as I please. A deer named Lady visits our back yard, and I never bark at her. I get excited for treats and when my mom takes me to the park. When my mom leaves, I lie at the foot of the door the whole time until she comes home.

I am safe and loved."

When you enter this contest, our biggest fundraiser of the year, you make it possible for us to help more dogs like Winifred be safe and loved!

Click the link to vote for her, enter, reserve-a-date for your Pyr, or pre-order your calendar!

Did you think that we were done with #FureverHomeFriday pictures?!

Well, we have one more to share!

Debbie, Bryan, Bailey, and Gavin came to the rescue in August to adopt one dog...

...and decided to adopt Xena and Scotty together after she finished treatment for heartworms! Look at those smiles!

As we say, Pyrs are like potato chips. One is never enough!
