Social Wall

This past weekend, #CGPRAlum Beau walked with our friends at Safe Alliance to support survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Mecklenburg Co., NC.

Each year, we are asked to help several Pyrs whose owners reach out to us to get their dogs to a safe place so that they can get to ...safety, too.

Everyone--Pyrs and people--deserves to belong, be loved, and be safe! 💜

Happy #MixMonday, friends of the Pyrs!

We have some wonderful Pyr mixes in our care. Think all the sass but not necessarily all the floof!

To learn more about any of our designer Pyr-plusses, read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a ...meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Thanks for likes and shares!

Friends, can we talk about heartworms again?

Treating heartworm-positive dogs has become our single largest veterinary expense.

Rates of heartworm infection are climbing in the Carolinas.

Marshall, a loved owner surrender who came to us when his human faced a serious ...health challenge of their own, has tested positive for heartworms. He is the tenth HW+ dog in our care in 2026. Marshall was not neglected. He was an inside dog. His owner just declined to give him monthly preventative, and he had no protection when bit by an infected mosquito. That's all it took.

Not providing monthly heartworm preventative is the number one reason we reject applications to adopt from us.

People send us some spicy responses along the lines of "I'm such a good dog owner that I don't provide standard veterinary care and instead do [insert untested or disproven thing] here." Garlic. Raw onions. Tea tree oil. Neem oil. Herbs sold through a website with no testing to prove safety or effectiveness.

We aren't anti-natural or alternative veterinary medicine, and we use a variety of proven, safe treatments on the rescue Pyrs.

There's no proven alternative to standard veterinary medicine for preventing heartworm disease in dogs, and heartworm disease is common, fatal, and preventable. Responsible dog owners provide preventative, which can be administered as a monthly pill or an injection.

Please take care of your Pyr's heart!

Everyone is so crazy busy these days.

Take some advice from #CGPRAlum Molly: slow down and spend time with those you love. Time passes quickly!

Welcome Mary Ann and Wanda to rescue!

The Chicks came to us from a shelter partner. We suspect that they are mother and daughter. Both are young. Mary Ann is perhaps two-years-old, and Wanda is six-months-old. They were likely dumped by their owner because they were found wandering in an ...area where no one recognized them and nearly shot for killing a turkey before animal control could pick them up.

The Chicks couldn't be sweeter...as long as you aren't a turkey. 😉

Stay tuned for more info about them.

Thanks to Lance for giving the girls a ride!

#CGPRAlum Mona blocked out the world for a comfy snoozle on this #SleepySunday. We hope that you did, too!
