Beautiful Nova is ready to leave us!

This girl came into rescue last month with a gnarly gash to her right front leg. Our friends at the Stokes County Animal Shelter found her as a stray and reached out to us. If you want to see the wound as it looked at intake, click on the first comment in the thread. We suspect this came from a dust up with a coyote or other wild animal.

Well, look at our girl's leg now! (right/second photo) We prioritize helping adoptable Pyrs with urgent medical needs who wouldn't receive the vet care they need elsewhere. Nova is a wonderful example of a dog who just needed some extra TLC and time! She is a posterPyr for what we do best!

Nova is social with humans, including children, and loves other dogs. She would be a good match for a family with children.

To learn more, head to carolinapyrrescue.com to read about out adoption process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet.

Last week, we took in two social, sweet Pyrs that needed veterinary care. Both of these dogs tested positive for heartworms. We are full to the rafters, but had we not taken them, Maxine and Duvall wouldn't have received the treatment they need to be adoptable and live long, healthy lives.

And so we said yes! These young, loving dogs deserve a chance!

We need to raise $1,000 for each dog's treatment, or $2,000 total. We've raised about $500 elsewhere so far, and we are setting this fundraiser for $1,500.

Will you help us help Maxine and Duvall? Any amount is appreicated!

Maxine and Duvall will be adoptable in later this spring. We welcome approved adopters to meet them and would love for them to be adoption pending. To learn more about our adoption process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet, visit carolinapyrrescue.com.

Happy #TwoForTuesday, friends of the Pyrs!

We have 4 bonded pairs and a throuple (Momo, King Bumi, and Turtle Duck) at the rescue waiting for their #fureverhome. Are they waiting for YOU?!

Many of us have multiple Pyrs. Pyrs are social and evolved interacting with other Pyrs, people, and animals. Having two (or more Pyrs) is often ideal for these dogs. Their Pyrsonalities shine!

Do you have multiple Pyrs? What do you love most about sharing your life with them?

If you would like to learn more about our adoption process, head to carolinapyrrescue.com and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet.

So far in 2026, we have a 100% placement rate for our Gentle Giants of the Month! We placed Typhon & Athena and Whitney!

This month, we are featuring Joy & Andi, a 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:

This sweet young adult came to us through a shelter partner. Maxine has not had an easy go of it in life. She's clearly been bred, is underweight, and is heartworm positive.

Stay tuned for more about Maxine as we treat her for heartworms and put some weight on her. She will be adoptable in about three months.

Darling Daphne is blossoming in rescue! She came to us shy and uncertain and is learning how to be confident and enjoy being around people. She will thrive with dog-experienced owners and a social male dog her size or smaller dogs of either sex to show her the ropes. She also will benefit from owners with the savvy and time to keep expanding her world and nurturing her Pyrtitude!

To learn more about Daphne, read about our adoption process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.
