As you settle in for the grind of another work week, please remember that you are working hard so that your Pyr can have a better life. 🤣

Like our sweet Teddy, who is thriving in his #FureverHome with Kimberly, Bryan, Brendan, Aleissia, and Bella the Shih Tzu. In fact, Teddy recently ...enjoyed his first shrimp boil. #RuffLife 😂

Did you find time to rest on this #SleepySunday?

We are not sure how this weekend flew by so quickly, but we are glad that the Pyrs got their snoozles in while we were working hard getting ready for next weekend's homecoming Pyrnic picnic.

#CGPRAlum Pippa here is just one of ...thousands of Pyrfect dogs we have helped over the years.

Join us Sat., Oct. 8 to celebrate these wonderful dogs and second chances.

Buddy joined the rescue family today.

This sweet, mellow silver snout was dumped in a rural area near a Good Samaritan's property. She got him to us.

This happens more often than many folks realize: both people abandoning senior dogs (although usually at shelters) and ...leaving dogs on remote country roads. In the Carolinas, all breeds -- but especially hounds, pitbulls, and Pyrs -- are tossed away like trash by people who are the real trash for doing this.

Animal control officers in rural counties often don't have the resources, sometimes including live traps large enough, let alone the personnel to catch these dogs, and so people who live near dumping sites, like Buddy's guardian angel, end up feeding, catching, and getting them to rescues.

Most of the dumped Pyrs we take in are much younger than Buddy. Backyard breeders taking unsold juveniles and even puppies to woods or industrial parks a county over is a regular occurrence. People who decide that cute puppy they got last year is too much work and expense as an adult take it to a dead-end road and leave it. We--and animal control--sometimes have an idea of who these people are. As a rescue, we have no legal or criminal recourse, and these people are never held accountable--even the backyard breeders we know to be repeat offenders.

Buddy is probably over 10 years old. He was covered in fleas and dirt. He has a tumor on his foot. His teeth are a mess. This is what a lifetime of neglect looks like.

And he couldn't be a more loving boy.

If you follow this page, you know we don't post curse words....much. May karma work overtime on the piece of shit who dumped a senior dog in this condition.

We aren't sure if Buddy will be adoptable or if he will end up living out his life in a loving furever foster home. We'll make those decisions in the coming days, but for now, he is warm and dry, flea-free, has a full belly, and will be groomed and see a vet very soon.

Thanks to Taylor, his guardian angel, and to Sandi and Gordon for giving him a lift to rescue.

Your home smells like a giant wet dog today, doesn't it?

Problem solved!
