Happy #FureverHomeFriday!

Sweet little Bear came to us earlier this year from a shelter partner and needing treatment for heartworms, but he already had folks interested in him.

We were glad to get Bear the veterinary care he needed to live his best life. Darla and Daniel came for him this week and made it official! He is adopted!

Look at those smiles!

Happy #FureverHomeFriday, friends of the Pyrs! 

Noodles brought @longpaw_the_1st and Debra to the rescue to pick a new friend. They decided that Nova is their Pyrfect match!

If you remember, this darling girl came to us from our friends at the Stokes County Animal Shelter with a gnarly gash on her front right leg. Look at her now!

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!

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 had an unexpected intake today.

A Good Samaritan found this puppy in the road and rushed her to us. We are grateful that this woman acted quickly and didn't leave this baby to die.

Shannon immediately began caring for her, and this little one saw our veterinarian, too.

We've notified animal control in the county where this pup was found--an area known for backyard breeders.

It isn't just that one person did this. Surely, other people saw the condition this puppy was in before today. Why has no one spoken up or helped before now? This girl is approximately 10 weeks old.

Someone dumped her to die. No other pups were with her. Were there others in the litter? Where are the parents? What condition are they in?

There's no excuse for this.

None.

She is on stray hold with us, but we suspect that whoever left her on the roadside intended for her to get hit by a car and die. We may never learn that person's name, but we sincerely wish that person (or those people) what they deserve.

We need to apologize...to Paulie the Pyratolian!

When posting about our delightful mixes this morning for #MixMonday, we forgot to include Paulie. Well, he raised a fuss about it, and here we are!

If you have ever had the good fortune of knowing a Pyratolian, you have had the pleasure of being with a dog that is goofy, stubborn, and needy in equal measure.

Paulie is a derpy boy, and he likes to be with people and chill. Take these pictures of him riding shotgun as evidence. Paulie likes some other dogs, particularly feisty females. Really. He can be adopted into a home with a female who is his match in sass. No mellow dogs for this boy. Give him a girl who is hard to handle, and he is happy.

He also needs a guardian-breed experienced owner who is prepared for him to push some boundaries, especially around other dogs. He thrives with positive correction. He would be happy as an only-dog, too. No small kiddos for Paulie.

To meet our ride-or-die Pyratolian, read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Thanks for likes and shares! Let's find Paulie's #PyrfectMatch!

Hattie and Halo inspected the haul that Ms. Coomey's 2nd grade class and others at Selywn Elementary collected for the rescue Pyrs! They gave Ms. Coomey a few kisses, too!

The rescue Pyrs say thanks to all who contributed! We love how they do their service project. What a great way to help kids learn that the most effective way to support charities is to ask what is needed. This flyer with our current wish list is pawsome!

If your organization would like to collect needed supplies for the resue Pyrs, message us here or email us at president@carolinapyrrescue.com. We can send you a list of current needs and stickers to give your donors.
