Who needs a handsome male in their life?!

Why cruise the bar scene? Why use the dating apps? Why let your mother's cousin's friend set you up?

ADOPT TRUE LOVE INSTEAD!

We are feeling a little lucky today! So far in 2026, we have a 100% placement rate for our Gentle Giants of the Month, but we haven't had any interest in Joy and Andi yet. Maybe today is the day that changes!

This sassy bonded pair of sisters who have big Pyrsonalities and are as loving as can be!

Will you help us get out the word about our wonderful Pyrs to those who aren't on social media? Do you have access to a bulletin board at work, your place of worship, gym, or local coffee shop?

Please print out our March Gentle Giant of the Month flyer featuring Joy and Andi and post it there and everywhere!

Click this link to access this month's flyer in PNG and PDF form:

Let's keep our winning streak going! Thanks for likes and shares!

Why is darling Colette still in rescue?!

This sweet, loving, and social girl is as charming as her smile suggests. She would be a wonderful addition to a family with a male dog her size or smaller dogs of either sex. Kids are great for her!

To meet Colette, read about our placement process and visit carolinapyrrescue.com to fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet.

Thank you for likes and shares! Let's find Colette's Pyrfect match!

Our friends at Golden Retriever Rescue Club of Charlotte have asked us to share the word about Milo, a sweet Pyr mix in their care who deserves a home. Let's help them find Milo's Pyrfect match!

About Milo: He is a loyal, affectionate, and wonderfully quirky young boy who will absolutely steal your heart once he knows you’re his person.

Milo is playful, curious, and smart. He loves squeaky toys, will happily toss them in the air and catch them himself, and enjoys games of fetch and tug-of-war. Daily walks are one of his favorite things — especially trips to the greenway — and he’ll excitedly race down the stairs to wait by the car when he knows an adventure is coming. After a good 30-minute walk, he’s content to relax and soak up affection.

In the home, Milo is fully housebroken and does well with free roam. He’s learning his manners and already knows “sit,” is working on “stay,” often comes when called, and understands “go do your business.” He walks beautifully on leash and rides well in the car, settling in quickly for the drive. He also does fine in a crate, barking briefly before settling when he can see people or outside.

Milo is deeply devoted to his people. He loves pets, floor-time cuddles, and will literally climb into your lap to rest his head on your shoulder. At night, he sleeps on the floor in the bedroom and occasionally gets up to “patrol,” making sure his family is safe — classic Great Pyrenees behavior. Watching him prance around the yard on patrol is truly something special.

Because of his past and his strong guardian instincts, Milo needs a calm, structured home. He is protective of his space and can become reactive when unfamiliar people enter the home or yard, especially when the doorbell rings. Slow introductions are important, and he will do best with experienced dog owners who understand guardian breeds and are committed to continued training. A large, securely fenced yard is a must so he can roam and patrol to his heart’s content.

Milo would thrive with older kids or adults only, and in a home with limited foot traffic. He may be able to live with another dog — possibly a smaller, calm dog — but introductions must be slow and managed. His experience with cats and young children is limited, so caution is advised.

Despite these needs, Milo is an incredibly sweet, loving soul once trust is established. He’s brave, attentive, playful, and deeply bonded to his people. For the right family — patient, experienced, and ready to earn his trust — Milo will be an unmatched companion and protector.

Click the link below and reach out to GRRCC directly to learn more about Milo and their adoption process.

What a wonderful Pyrade it was!

John Adams, Pyrent of #CGPRAlum Gracie and the rescue Pyrs' photographer, has shared his album of 262 photos from the St. Patrick's Day Pyrade!

We are so grateful that John has captured many of our events and documented how much love surrounds our dogs! Thanks, John!

#CGPRAlum Stella is best friends with the neighbor next door. Just because this isn't her owners' kid doesn't mean he isn't *her* kid.

May all dogs have a pack of people who love them!

Happy #SleepySunday!
