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!

Happy #ForeverHomeFriday, friends of the Pyrs!

Let's start by celebrating the initiative of #CGPRAlum Atticus (right), who made his humans drive him back to the rescue to adopt a friend. They picked Waffle (left). Look at those smiles!

Happy #FureverHomeFriday, friends of the Pyrs!

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!

We have one picture to share with you, and it is a good one. The Fradenburgs, who have adopted multiple Pyrs from us over the years, came back again to welcome a new Pyr into their pack. They picked Francis (left), and, clearly, he is happy about it!

The rescue Pyrs lost power last night, but it came back on this morning. All is well at the rescue again.

We hope everyone else is staying warm!

Friends, we are trying to help a family keep their grandmother's Pyr. They need a foster home for a few months. We asked his humans to describe him in detail and the help they need and offered to share it in hopes that someone who follows us has room for Sir Polo. If you can assist, please reach out to Rachel directly:

"Sir Polo is a 9-year-old Great Pyrenees who is deaf from birth and has a gentle, affectionate nature with people. He is a true Pyr at heart — loyal, sensitive, and deeply bonded to his humans. He enjoys calm companionship and does best in a quiet, predictable environment.

Sir Polo has lived with other dogs in the past, but given recent transitions, he would likely do best as an only pet for the duration of the foster. He is not cat-safe. He is low energy, enjoys being near his people, and benefits from clear routines and patient handling.

Our family is seeking a temporary foster home, preferably in western North Carolina, for a few months while his owner relocates closer to family. We are committed to fully supporting his foster and will cover all food, supplies, and veterinary care, along with providing a monthly stipend to help offset the time and care involved.

If you have experience with Great Pyrenees (or senior dogs), a calm home, and are able to offer Sir Polo a soft landing during this transition, we would be so grateful to connect.

Please contact Rachel at (828) 260-0117 if you’re interested or would like more information."

We are smitten with sweet Yuki.

This adult female came to us with hotspots and an ear infection, but her itchies are going away and fluffies coming back!

Yuki loves taking walks and giving hugs, and if you want to get more steps in and enjoy more snuggles in 2026, this is your girl!

She is calm, gentle, and very smart. She would be a good match for a family with a large male dog her size or smaller dogs of either sex. She would be a good addition to a family with children.

To meet Yuki or any of the wonderful dogs in our care, read our policies and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Thanks for likes and shares!
