As you settle in for the grind of another work week, please remember that you are working hard so that your Pyr can have a better life. 🤣

Like our sweet Teddy, who is thriving in his #FureverHome with Kimberly, Bryan, Brendan, Aleissia, and Bella the Shih Tzu. In fact, Teddy recently enjoyed his first shrimp boil. #RuffLife 😂

Did you find time to rest on this #SleepySunday?

We are not sure how this weekend flew by so quickly, but we are glad that the Pyrs got their snoozles in while we were working hard getting ready for next weekend's homecoming Pyrnic picnic.

#CGPRAlum Pippa here is just one of thousands of Pyrfect dogs we have helped over the years.

Join us Sat., Oct. 8 to celebrate these wonderful dogs and second chances.

Buddy joined the rescue family today.

This sweet, mellow silver snout was dumped in a rural area near a Good Samaritan's property. She got him to us.

This happens more often than many folks realize: both people abandoning senior dogs (although usually at shelters) and leaving dogs on remote country roads. In the Carolinas, all breeds -- but especially hounds, pitbulls, and Pyrs -- are tossed away like trash by people who are the real trash for doing this.

Animal control officers in rural counties often don't have the resources, sometimes including live traps large enough, let alone the personnel to catch these dogs, and so people who live near dumping sites, like Buddy's guardian angel, end up feeding, catching, and getting them to rescues.

Most of the dumped Pyrs we take in are much younger than Buddy. Backyard breeders taking unsold juveniles and even puppies to woods or industrial parks a county over is a regular occurrence. People who decide that cute puppy they got last year is too much work and expense as an adult take it to a dead-end road and leave it. We--and animal control--sometimes have an idea of who these people are. As a rescue, we have no legal or criminal recourse, and these people are never held accountable--even the backyard breeders we know to be repeat offenders.

Buddy is probably over 10 years old. He was covered in fleas and dirt. He has a tumor on his foot. His teeth are a mess. This is what a lifetime of neglect looks like.

And he couldn't be a more loving boy.

If you follow this page, you know we don't post curse words....much. May karma work overtime on the piece of shit who dumped a senior dog in this condition.

We aren't sure if Buddy will be adoptable or if he will end up living out his life in a loving furever foster home. We'll make those decisions in the coming days, but for now, he is warm and dry, flea-free, has a full belly, and will be groomed and see a vet very soon.

Thanks to Taylor, his guardian angel, and to Sandi and Gordon for giving him a lift to rescue. ...

Tito is terrific!

This sweet young male is a loving, playful boy...and the subject of a bit of debate.

His first owner purchased him from a Pyr breeder, but, wow, folks, we really think there's some Karakachan in the family tree. That's the Bulgarian version of the big fluffy livestock guardian dog.

Whatever he is, Tito is a darling boy ready to join an active family with owners who can continue to train and socialize him and who adore him as much as we do.

To meet any of our dogs, begin by filling out the application to come to a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com. ...

We hope that all the Pyrs and their people are staying safe, dry, and catching up on snoozles on this rainy, gusty night across the Carolinas.

Darling Marian is a bundle of sweetness and energy in a little foofy body. A "pocket Pyr," Marian weighs only 60 lbs. at full grown, but she's got the Pyrsonality of a full-sized Pyr.

This happy girl is learning manners at the rescue...specifically not to hump...all the other dogs...all the time. 😂🤣😝 Marian is best matched with a family with a playful, patient male dog her size and owners willing to help her continue learning her best manners. Social skills are teachable, and she's getting her schooling now!

To meet Marian or any of our wonderful Pyrs, start by reading our policies and filling out the application to meet the Pyrs at carolinapyrrescue.com. ...

#CGPRAlum Optimus over the weekend: I must bark nonstop at the butterflies on the bushes near my window. Butterflies are sketchy.

Optimus on a Monday morning: that group of strangers making a ton of noise chopping down a tree right by my window? Those guys are cool. No need to keep an eye on this. Back to sleep. 🤷‍♀️

I guess he isn't starting his work week just yet. 🤣😂
