Adoption Policies Overview
The majority of our Pyrs require solid and securely fenced yards to thrive. We occasionally make exceptions for experienced Pyr owners who understand the breed’s strong instinct to roam and commit to keeping the Pyr on-leash when outside. We do not place Pyrs in homes where chains, tie-outs, or underground fencing is used.
We require a positive reference from a veterinarian who can confirm the applicant’s history of providing routine care, particularly regular administration of heartworm prevention and vaccination. We may require additional references for special needs Pyrs or exotic breeds to help us assure a good fit. An experienced Pyr-owner and volunteer may do a home visit, particularly for first-time Pyr owners.
All approved applicants are invited to meet the Pyrs and an officer of the rescue by appointment at the kennels in Indian Trail, NC. Most families bring home their new family member that day. Those who don’t find their match are welcome to visit again. We will help those who appear unready for Pyr ownership find an appropriate rescue to match them with a dog.
Our non-refundable adoption donation is $300 for seniors over eight years old, $400 for adults, $500 for puppies, and $650 for bonded pairs. This includes full vaccination; veterinary care when needed; spay/neuter; heartworm testing and, if necessary, treatment; and professional grooming.

Cubby is a young adult male with swagger!
This playful boy will thrive with experienced owners who can help him practice his good manners. He is a Pyr's Pyr with a BIG Pyrsonality and probably too much dog for families with very small children or older dogs and small dogs.
He would LOVE a female rumpus buddy his age and size who is his match. In fact, he needs that balance!

We meant to repost Forrest yesterday for #MixMonday, but the day got away from us. Oops!

An update on Joy.
Her eyes...look *great!*
She has had surgery to correct entropion in both eyes and is recovering beautifully. She will look a bit silly as her fur grows back, but she will live her best life without eye irritation or infection.
Joy and her sister Andi will be ready for their #FureverHome soon. They are a bonded pair that we are placing together. Interested? Fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.
Thanks to all who donated to cover the cost of joy's care. We appreciate you!
