We just learned that Milo is still waiting for his #PyrfectMatch.

From his foster dad with Golden Retriever Rescue Club of Charlotte: "He’s come a long way since being rescued. He was house trained when he came into our lives, but the poor guy didn’t even know how to play with toys…now he’s got them everywhere throughout the house (yes he’s been spoiled). He loves the kids next door and has become a bit of a bed hog as he’s definitely a snuggler."

Let's help find Milo a #FureverHome!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.

We are celebrating #WhyAreYouStillHereWednesday with our Gentle Giants of the Month for May, Kyle and Kiki!

This bonded pair is Pyrfect! They are healthy, social, and sweet. They would be a wonderful addition to an active household of folks who like to walk their dogs or take them to breweries, vineyards, or on other outings.

Kyle and Kiki came to us through animal control after a kind Good Samaritan reported them wandering...for days. Someone clearly dumped them. We don't understand how anyone could do that, let alone to such wonderful dogs.

Interested in meeting K2? Read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Want to help K2 but can't adopt? 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 coffee shop? Please print out our Gentle Giant of the Month flyer and post it there and everywhere!

Janet Ingram, who is the East Coast rescue coordinator for the Great Pyrenees Club of America and, therefore, has seen a lot of shelters and kennels in her day, visited the rescue Pyrs yesterday.

We appreciate the applause! We strive to take the best possible care of the Pyrs!

Want to meet the Pyrs, too? Read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Let's start the week with some good news!

This weekend, friends of the Pyrs donated to cover Marshall's heartworm treatment, *and* he met an adopter who picked him! While he has treatment ahead of him these next two months, he has a home waiting at the finish line!

Look for an adoption picture mid-summer after Marshall has completed heartworm treatment!

Thanks to all who donated to cover Marshall's vet bill and all who shared his post.

His treatment is paid for!

We are especially touched by the several owners who gave in memory of their deceased Pyrs. What a wonderful tribute!

We are often contacted by folks wanting smaller Pyr mixes -- dogs who look the part, act the part, but come in petite packages.

Well, we have three pocket Pyrs now!

Ed, Wanda, and Mary Ann are all the good things about the greatest breed but all are in the 75 lbs. or smaller range. (Wanda is still growing but she's not likely to be a large girl based on her current size.)

All of these dogs are sweet, social, and loving.

We are looking for a home for Wanda and Mary Anne together. They are bonded.

Ed can join a family with a female dog his size or smaller dogs of either sex.

All of these dogs would be great matches for families with kids or grandkids visiting.

To learn more about our pocket Pyrs or any of the wonderful dogs in our care, read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.
