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!

Chuck and Janine came back to the rescue to adopt again. They picked our sweet Sam (left). 

Sam was the Pyr who came to us heartworm positive and emaciated after his owner was unable to care for him because of Alzheimer's disease. He has sailed through treatment with flying colors. 

We are so happy! Sam couldn't be going to a better home!

To wrap up #FureverHomeFriday, we are happy to accounce that Shannon (the rescue's president) has decided to keep Quasimodo, the Pyr to the immediate left of her.

When Quasi came back to the rescue after his first placement didn't work out, Shannon began introducing him to her dogs to better assess and work on his behavior outside of the kennel setting.

It turns out, he is the Pyrfect match for her pack, and so Quasimodo will stay at the farm furever!

Happy #MakeoverMonday, friends of the Pyrs!

Today's good news is that Hope has completed treatment for heartworms and is ready to be adopted!

We suspect that this girl is a mix, likely with Lab, and we hope that whoever adopts her does a DNA test and shares the results.

Hope has not had the best start in life. She was bred, dumped, and on her own as a stray for months. She is blossoming in rescue and will need patient humans who continue to earn her trust. Hope will thrive in a quieter home, perhaps with other friendly dogs her size or smaller. She likely would be happy as an only dog, too.

To learn more about Hope, read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Thanks for likes and shares!

Jeff is ready to be someone's true love!

This handsome young male came to us when his owner could no longer care for him. Puppies are a part time job, y'all. They need attention, lots of attention, and then some more attention. We get lots of requests from folks who realize *after* purchasing a puppy from a breeder that they weren't prepared, and, sadly, negligent breeders don't screen folks wanting to buy pups or support them afterwards. So these folks turn to rescue. Our most common juvenile surrender is a social young male who is...well...being a totally normal Pyr pup. Part-like angel, part-time t-rex. 🤣

Jeff is a good boy. He is sweet, playful, and loving. He would like to join a family with a social adult female who can show him the ropes. He is thriving being around the other Pyrs at the rescue.

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

If you have yet to find a sweetheart for this Valentine's Day, may we suggest Cora?

This darling girl is ready for a furever home that can include a male dog her size, smaller dogs of either sex, and kids.

Oh, and is anything in this world cuter than her little teefers?!

To learn about Cora or any of the wonderful dogs in our care, head to carolinapyrrescue.com to read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet.

It is almost Valentine's Day, friends of the Pyrs!

Is this a good time to remind you that we have a "throuple" in the rescue now! 😂🤣😍

Turtle Duck, King Bumi, and Momo came to us in late November with serious injuries to their rear legs. King Bumi's and Turtle Duck's were caused by tie-outs, and with your support, we were able to provide them with veterinary care and lots of TLC and save the legs! They barely have scars! Momo's injury was caused by an impact that broke the bone and required an amputation (thanks again to our supporters), and she is thriving as a tri-paw.

We would like to place Momo, Turtle Duck, and King Bumi in a home together, but if we have to break them up, Momo can be happy in a home with a friendly male dog her size or social smaller dogs of either sex. But, really, they are devoted to one another, and a placement for all three is our hope!
