Social Wall
We have some sad news to share.
Uno, who came to us from a shelter partner earlier this month, has died. He was a sweet, friendly adult male who was social and adoptable.
He was also positive for heartworms and had just begun treatment.
Heartworm disease is deadly. We Read morecan often--but not always--treat positive dogs who come to us before late adulthood. By that time, the damage to their heart and other organs is often too severe.
Uno deserved a long, happy, and healthy life, but he didn't get it.
Please give your Pyrs heartworm preventative, and give them an extra hug today in honor of Uno.
Like #CGPRAlum Auggie here, we are exhausted!
What a Pyrfect day to enjoy both our Pyrnic and bring the 2027 calendar cover contest to an end!

Big thanks to our new friends at @stillwater_coffee_ for keeping us caffeinated at Pyrnic 2026!
If you are hosting an event in the Union Co. area, reach out to them. Their coffee is really good, and their snack selection is even better!
And...they have two Pyrs of their own!
The last Pyr entered in our 2027 calendar contest is one close to the hearts of Shannon, her staff, and the volunteers who run the rescue. He is the best example of what we mean when we say that all the dogs are Pyrfect, even when they are imperfect!
Quasimodo came to us and stayed. Read moreHere's his story: "I came to the rescue via a Good Samaritan veterinarian who had been treating some serious skin issues I had.
My original people were feeding me mostly what they were eating and I had lost a bunch of fur and had really bad skin infections they couldn’t afford to treat so I needed to go someplace that could help me heal.
I got adopted to a really nice family through the rescue but I was mean to them because I wanted to eat all their food and drink all their sodas, so I had to come back to the rescue. After being there for a couple months, the president of the rescue decided to take me to the house by the rescue, now I have 6 brothers and two sisters, and 5 of them are also Pyrs!
Now I’m a good boy and eat only what is healthy for me, and my skin is healed and I have all my fur back. I am the biggest kid in the house too!
I was born with a crooked face and some people think I look funny, but my mommy tells me often I have the most beautiful face in the world and I am very loved by my big family!"

We've had a couple late additions to the 2027 calendar contest, and we want to welcome these new dogs to the fun!

Belle came to rescue needing two TPLO surgeries. As luck and love would have it, a family experienced with that recovery was looking for a sweet and sassy girl.
Steve, Lilach, and their furry and human kids all fell for Belle, too.
There's sure something about rescue that Read morefeels miraculous when the right people and the right dog find each other at the right time!

Why do rescue? Aren't there better ways to be broke and stressed out all the time?!
Sure.
But Pyr smiles.
There is *nothing* as rewarding as seeing a dog who came to us having given up find their smile again.
Like Bernie, who was surrendered by owners who Read morewere overwhelmed by caring for a young, playful dog. He did nothing wrong, but his whole world was turned upside down until we made it right again.
This is his story: "I was adopted by my family at 3 yo when I was at CGPR. When they visited the rescue on August 10, 2025, I immediately chose them. Even going in and out of my future dad’s legs when I first laid eyes on him. They gave me two kids to play with and a new best friend, my Anatolian Shepherd/Newfie brother, Loki. We are the best of friends and love to rumpus! I have another new friend to guard, a senior cat we call Goose. I love my family and immediately fit right in! I have plenty of space to roam and play with my best friend, Loki. They even take me on outings and vacations, including a recent trip to the mountains. Pup cups are my favorite road treat! Even though I was confused as to why I was given up for adoption and very grateful for CGPR who loved and cared for me until they found my Pyrfect family, I now realize it was meant to be."
