Happy #MakeoverMonday, friends of the Pyrs!

Shall we show off two glow ups?!

Turtle Duck and King Bumi came to us in late November with serious injuries to their rear legs caused by tie-outs. We see limb strangulation injuries often, and, for this reason, we require adoptive homes to have solid and secure fencing.

We are grateful that these two came to us in time to help them and before they required amputations. With your support, we were able to provide them with veterinary care and lots of TLC.

Look at those legs now! Not only will King Bumi and Turtle Duck both retain full use of their injured legs, but those scars aren't even as gnarly as we thought they would be!

We would like to place Turtle Duck and King Bumi in a home together with the third Pyr who came in with them, Momo. She is lovely, too, and they are devoted to one another.

To learn more about our adoption process and to schedule a meet-and-greet, visit carolinapyrrescue.com.

Avery and Evvy came to us through our friends at Anderson County PAWS and are our first intakes of 2026.

These sweet young adults can go to separate homes.

Both are a good match for adopters with a large male dog, smaller dogs of either sex, and children, including littles ones.

To learn more about Avery, Evvy, or any of the great dogs in our care, visit carolinapyrrescue.com to read about our policies and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet.

Thanks for likes and shares! Let's find these girls their Pyrfect match!

One of our Christmas wishes was for these two to be adopted before the holidays.

Didn't happen.

So now it is our New Year's wish! We aren't giving up! Let's find Mikey and Abby a home!

Mikey and Abby are Pyr-lovers' Pyrs. They are silly, stubborn, sassy, and all the good things. Frankly, we don't know why they haven't been adopted yet.

They adore people and are all smiles when they are getting attention from humans large and small. They should be the only large dogs in the home but could potentially share a home with cats.

Interested in meeting Mikey and Abby or any of the wonderful Pyrs in our care?

Read about our adoption process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

We share these numbers each year because in addition to caring for the approximately 125 Pyrs we can help, we want to raise awareness of the conditions necessitating a private rescue for Pyrs in the Carolinas in the first place. In 2025, we were asked to help approximately 1,311 Pyrs. About 211 of those were pups under six months old.

The majority of people who are breeding Pyrs and all of the people who are breeding Pyr mixes in the Carolinas need to stop producing litters of pups for which there are not enough homes. That's the only way out of this crisis of homelessness and neglect for big fluffies in the Carolinas.

The last #ForeverHomeFriday photo taken in 2025 is....Ginny!

Philip and Andrea visited us in November with #CGPRAlum Bailey. They picked #CGPRAlum Stevie (formerly Opie, right).

When Bailey passed away unexpectedly last week, Andrea reached out to ask if Stevie had any friends among the female Pyrs while in rescue.

Yes, he did. His bestie was Ginny (left).

And, yes, Shannon broke the "no placements over Christmas" rule for Andrea and Philip, and they came back to the rescue! (Hey, we make the rules and can break the rules, right?! 🤣)

And so out of the sadness of losing Bailey, there is the hope and joy of Ginny's adoption.

Happy New Pyr...er, ah...New Year!

Happy #ForeverHomeFriday, friends of the Pyrs!

Let's start by celebrating the initiative of #CGPRAlum Atticus (right), who made his humans drive him back to the rescue to adopt a friend. They picked Waffle (left). Look at those smiles!
