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.

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!

Hope is a smart, blossoming girl with an adventurous streak. She is back in the rescue after escaping from her first adopter. Hope will thrive with dog-savvy owners in a quiet home. Humans who take the time to go slow and earn her trust will be rewarded with the best of fur family members. She is a... gem!

Marshall is a male *velcro* Pyr. He couldn't be sweeter!

Stay tuned for more information as we get to know him!

Sebastian has left the rescue and is on his way back home to Michigan!
