Happppppppppppppppy #FureverHomeFriday, Pyr lovers! 

Col Akers and Joe brought #CGPRAlum Duncan and #CGPRAlum Mabel and Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue alum Beau to make it official....

...that they are foster failing sweet Andre (left)!

Andre is the boy who came to us from a shelter partner in early December. Do you remember these pictures of him? He was emaciated and in rough shape then.

Andre is well on his way to being in his best shape now. While the rescue building was getting an insulation upgrade in January, Andre went to stay with the Akers, and he will stay with them furever!

Happy #FureverHomeFriday, friends of the Pyrs!

This week, we are celebrating one adoption. Rob and Victoria adopted Yuki!

Yuki met Rob and Victoria when her foster Pyrents were walking her and they crossed paths. Truly, Yuki, now Skye, *picked* them! It was like their meeting was planned...except none of the humans knew that!

Andrea has adopted several Pyrs from us over the years, and when her beloved Copper passed on, she and Stefan came back to the rescue for a bonded pair. 

They picked Mikey and Abby! 

We hope that you are enjoying snuggles tonight, too! 

Congrats to all!

Hey, friends of the Pyrs, are you ready for the first #FureverHomeFriday picture of 2026?! 🥳🤩

Bryan, Debbie, and their kiddos were so excited to visit the rescue and meet our wonderful dogs. They decided that Babe (now renamed Pepper) is their Pyrfect match!

The last #ForeverHomeFriday photo taken in 2025 is....Ginny!

Philip and Andrea visited us in November with #CGPRAlum Bailey. They picked #CGPRAlum Stevie (formerly Opie, right).

When Bailey passed away unexpectedly last week, Andrea reached out to ask if Stevie had any friends among the female Pyrs while in rescue. 

Yes, he did. His bestie was Ginny (left). 

And, yes, Shannon broke the "no placements over Christmas" rule for Andrea and Philip, and they came back to the rescue! (Hey, we make the rules and can break the rules, right?! 🤣)

And so out of the sadness of losing Bailey, there is the hope and joy of Ginny's adoption.

Happy New Pyr...er, ah...New Year!

We can't believe that no one has come to meet Paulie yet!

We think he is a Paulie-tolian...a Pyr/Anatolian shepherd mix...get it!?

Paulie came to us from a shelter partner. This Pyratolian had a rough start in life, but he is blossoming now. He is goofy and loving.

His best match is a family with guardian experience who understands how to create a secure, structured environment in which Paulie can thrive. He is doing so well at the rescue with positive guidance and lots of lovies. Let's get him in a home like that!

If you would like to learn more about Paulie or any of the wonderful Pyrs in our care, please read about our placement process and fill out an application at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Thanks for likes and shares!

Beautiful Nova is ready to leave us!

This girl came into rescue last month with a gnarly gash to her right front leg. Our friends at the Stokes County Animal Shelter found her as a stray and reached out to us. If you want to see the wound as it looked at intake, click on the first comment in the thread. We suspect this came from a dust up with a coyote or other wild animal.

Well, look at our girl's leg now! (right/second photo) We prioritize helping adoptable Pyrs with urgent medical needs who wouldn't receive the vet care they need elsewhere. Nova is a wonderful example of a dog who just needed some extra TLC and time! She is a posterPyr for what we do best!

Nova is social with humans, including children, and loves other dogs. She would be a good match for a family with children.

To learn more, head to carolinapyrrescue.com to read about out adoption process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet.

Last week, we took in two social, sweet Pyrs that needed veterinary care. Both of these dogs tested positive for heartworms. We are full to the rafters, but had we not taken them, Maxine and Duvall wouldn't have received the treatment they need to be adoptable and live long, healthy lives.

And so we said yes! These young, loving dogs deserve a chance!

We need to raise $1,000 for each dog's treatment, or $2,000 total. We've raised about $500 elsewhere so far, and we are setting this fundraiser for $1,500.

Will you help us help Maxine and Duvall? Any amount is appreicated!

Maxine and Duvall will be adoptable in later this spring. We welcome approved adopters to meet them and would love for them to be adoption pending. To learn more about our adoption process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet, visit carolinapyrrescue.com.

Happy #TwoForTuesday, friends of the Pyrs!

We have 4 bonded pairs and a throuple (Momo, King Bumi, and Turtle Duck) at the rescue waiting for their #fureverhome. Are they waiting for YOU?!

Many of us have multiple Pyrs. Pyrs are social and evolved interacting with other Pyrs, people, and animals. Having two (or more Pyrs) is often ideal for these dogs. Their Pyrsonalities shine!

Do you have multiple Pyrs? What do you love most about sharing your life with them?

If you would like to learn more about our adoption process, head to carolinapyrrescue.com and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet.
