Shall we have some good news?

Walther (left) has been in our care since September 2022. He came to us from a shelter partner. 

He came to them with a gunshot wound in his front shoulder, a mangled rear leg, and heartworms.

First, Dr. Davis at Monroe Road Animal Hospital removed the bullet. Then we learned that his leg issues were inoperable so Dr. Hendren at Commonwealth Animal Hospital amputated his leg...and gave him a snippy while he was under! Finally, Dr. Sage treated him for heartworms. 

And after alllllllll that...he was adopted! 

Walt is the happiest boy. He wags his tail constantly and gives amazing Pyr hugs. Coleen, Joe, and Beau loved him at first sight just as we did!

Janine and Chuck submitted the kind of application to meet the Pyrs that makes our hearts sing. They wrote, "We don't care the sex or what they look like, medical issues, we just would like to provide a home for another baby that could eat, sleep, play and live with Abbie and Apollo [their two current Pyrs]."

Janine, Chuck, Abbie, and Apollo picked Greta, the darling older adult who came to us with enormous mammary tumors from a backyard breeder who didn't provide even basic veterinary care to Greta while she had litter after litter. Greta had surgery for those tumors and a full hysterectomy while with us.

Greta is settling in beautifully and has even gone to work with Janine.

On the worst days of rescue--like yesterday when we turned down 7 owner surrenders for lack of space--it makes us so happy to know that life has totally changed for the dogs we can help. Greta has gone from the worst to the best possible life, and we couldn't be happier!

We often have things going on that we can't share publicly...yet.

Now we can tell you about Elsa and show off her glow up! 

She came to us in 2022 from a shelter partner. She was there as a result of an animal cruelty case. Elsa had an embedded collar (meaning her too-tight collar had cut into her flesh) and suffered from overall neglect. She also was positive for heartworms. 

The shelter was able to release her to us for care, but because the criminal investigation was ongoing, we couldn't post about her. No criminal charges were filed against the owner, but Elsa did become ours to rehome.

Well, lots of TLC, heartworm treatment, and nourishment later...Elsa has gone to her furever home with Jessica and Jason, who met her and fell head over heels for this spunky, sweet girl when they came to meet the Pyrs.

We are so glad that Elsa gets to live her happily-ever-after like the princess she is!

Let's end the work week with good news!

One of the wonderful things about being ancient in rescue years (31 years now) is that many adopters come back to us for another Pyr. And then an additional Pyr. And one more after that. 🀣🀣🀣

For years, Stacy and Otto shared their home with #CGPRAlum Tessa. After she passed away, they decided to welcome another Pyr into their pack of five dogs.

Instead of one, they picked Honey and Daisy, our sweet sisters, and left with two!

Walther (left) has been in our care since September 2022. He came to us from a shelter partner. 

He came to them with a gunshot wound in his front shoulder, a mangled rear leg, and heartworms.

First, Dr. Davis at Monroe Road Animal Hospital removed the bullet. Then we learned that his leg issues were inoperable so Dr. Hendren at Commonwealth Animal Hospital amputated his leg...and gave him a snippy while he was under! Finally, Dr. Sage treated him for heartworms. 

And after alllllllll that...he was adopted! 

Walt is the happiest boy. He wags his tail constantly and gives amazing Pyr hugs. Coleen, Joe, and Beau loved him at first sight just as we did!

Angel is the third of the four Pyrs we took in this past weekend from a backyard breeder in Anson Co. 

After Shannon brought Angel out and showed me her ear, I was rattled. Those of us who run this organization have been doing it for a long time and have seen it all and then some. Honestly, as bad as Jill looks, we have seen starved and bald Pyrs before. 

Angel's ear looks like something out of a horror movie. Clearly, something ripped part of her ear off, and someone tried to treat the wound, but it looks botched and mangled. I've never seen anything like it. I had that feeling of compassion when one sees another's injury and grieves for how much it hurt--the term we use for it in my real job is "pain empathy."

Even those folks that see abused and neglected animals sometimes don't have words and can't keep it together. Sometimes the pain empathy is overwhelming. A couple other volunteers cried over Jill. Angel is the one whose condition broke my heart. 

I promised her that her future will be one without pain. 

We will make good on that promise to her, Sabrina, Jill, and Kelly.

Sabrina is another one of the four Pyrs that we took in from a backyard breeder in Anson Co. this past weekend. 

She clearly has been pregnant many times before, and she is *very* pregnant now.

As in we didn't even bring her to the rescue but immediately took her to her foster home where puppy watch is on.

These three pictures tell a story of Sabrina becoming more comfortable with @jenimax_flowers as Sabrina's past of neglect and overbreeding faded into the rearview.

As she rode while laying on a clean comforter, Sabrina relaxed. What a freedom ride. 

Dogs know when people love them and they are safe.

Joy, her foster, had a whelping area and nourishing food ready for Sabrina.

While we are so sad that Sabrina has endured so much, we are so grateful that she came to us in time for us to care for her and her pups in a safe, clean, and loving foster home.

Meet sweet Jill, one of the four girls who we took in this weekend from a backyard breeder.

Jill is as gentle as can be, and we already are telling her how beautiful she is. We took these photos after she enjoyed her first (of many, many) medicated baths. She's clean, maybe for the first time in her life, and her floofs (well, what floofs she has!) are floofy! It is hard to see progress when dogs look like this, but after her bath and a good lunch, Jill perked up. She looked at us. Wanted pets. There's hope in those eyes!

Jill will be fostered by Liz, Lisa, and the kind folks at Paws and Claws of Morganton. Liz and Lisa have adopted from us, and they help many shelter mamas at Paws and Claws. We are grateful for them and know Jill will be loved and cared for.

I am nowhere near pregnancy and I also just want to eat and sleep.🀣

That momma needs about a month of good mental and physical rest. God love her little soul.

Is it the malnutrition that causes hair loss or just the overall stressful life and living conditions? And yes I am 23.3 weeks along and that’s all I want to do!

I am interested in adopting her after is healthy and fixed. Thank you for helping her

Paws and Claws is a wonderful caring facility! She will be cared for, loved and safe!

She must feel tremendous relief. She lived a nightmare.

Carolina Pyr Rescue thank you for all you do. What kind of skin condition do these new rescues dogs have that have made them lose all their hair?

Thank you for the update, poor baby but she does look peaceful, all things considered!

I love Paws and Claws such a great group!! They have a soft spot for those Pyrenees! They spoil my Pyr!! They will have this little gal feeling better in no time!

My heart aches for this sweet angel I'm praying for her and sending hugs and love ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Glad she is safe and healing.

Thank you for the update. I have been thinking about these sweet dogs so much. So glad she is getting all the care she needs.

Love her speckled belly!

My heart aches for this sweet girl. It's bad enough she has no fur, but to be pregnant! God bless her and her Foster parents πŸ™ ❀️

She can finally relax. And be cared for. ❀️❀️❀️

Shannon and all the wonderful people that work there are absolutely amazing my heart breaks for what these poor puppies have been through Thank God, you all have a big enough hearts to take care of them ❀️❀️❀️❀️

Thank you thank you thank you for helping them poor babies. How precious is that picture. Resting so peacefully because she knows she is safe. Thank you thank you

We have some new followers, and that's a great reason to share a video of Leo, one of our adoptables.

We looooooooove this Pyr mix.

Leo came to us from our friends at Pet Tender Angels Rescue and Rehabilitation. They took Leo in as a neglected owner surrender. He had mange and looked a mess, and they did a wonderful job rehabilitating him. Thing is, while they get great adopters, as an all-breed rescue, they tend not to get many folks looking for big dogs let alone guardians.

Leo is a Pyr, husky, hound, and boxer mix. He is a big boy with some Pyrpinions of his own.

When Lori at Pet Tender asked if we would take him, how could we refuse? I mean....*look* at him. What a beautiful boy.

When he first arrived at Pyr rescue, Leo was socially awkward and wasn't sure how to interact with other big dogs. Watching him when let out with a female Pyr was like being the chaperone at a junior high dance. He wanted to play, but he didn't know how to. Adopters met him and liked him, but he didn't click with their dogs.

And then he figured it out. Now, he loves to rumpus. He also has grown into the body of a small, powerful horse. Leo would love to join a family with a large female dog to rumpus with or active owners who jog or take long walks. We think that he hasn't found his match through us yet because he isn't floofy and has a higher energy level than most Pyrs. He is a wonderful dog who hasn't been the right match for our wonderful adopters.

Leo is an amazing boy, and his family is out there, but maybe not looking for him at a Pyr rescue. Let's get the word out about this Pyrfect mix! Likes and shares appreciated.

p.s. Hope you enjoy the end of this video. He knocked the wind out of me! 🀣🀣🀣🀣

To those of us who just finished the DAILY task of de-floofing the house, he might be a wonderful addition.

A quick note on the Anson Co. dogs:

We appreciate all of the interest, but we are NOT accepting applications for moms and pups now.

These dogs need time and TLC. How much? We don't know, and we won't see their full Pyrsonalities for awhile and until they are feeling better.

We also don't know how many pups will be born healthy and survive.

Our puppy policy is as follows: those who have adopted from us or our sister rescue and are experienced with adults of the breed have first priority. We welcome new adopters after that.

We will post many updates over the next weeks and months!

What happened to the Breeder? Did they get arrested or Anything?!

Praying for the mommies, babies and the families caring for these precious girls. So thankful for them in better situations now.

So what if we refuse to give our foster dog up because she is so sweet and you are committed to ensuring that she never ever ever has to suffer again? JK - I need the room for the next LGD rescue because despite wishing my hardest that I won't need it, it's proven too much to hope for.

Ty for all you are doing

❀️❀️❀️❀️Take all the time they need.

Totally the right decision !

Does gpr of Atlanta count?

Who is your sister rescue?

Kelly is the last of the four girls who came to us from a backyard breeder in Anson Co. She is darling and sweet and just wants to be petted.

The photo in the thread was taken when she was removed from the property.

The video was taken after three days of being cared for.

In just a few days, she has hope in her eyes. And that tail wagging! Imagine what she will look like in a few months!

I know we have to concentrate on the furbabies, but I would like to ask. Isn't this animal cruelty and the breeder should be charged or jailed?

Love the video! Already donated. So glad they were rescued & are loving their new lives already. They are so trusting! She looks so young. Thank God you got them out of that breeding mill. οΏΌβ€οΈπŸΎπŸ™

Donated in honor of my Kelly. God bless you all and the work you do.

Were any puppies taken in from the breeder?

This brought tears to my eyes, thank you for saving these girls 😒

My heart breaks for those precious babies!

She is beautiful and will be more beautiful each day. Thank you

Love the tail wag

I wish I knew what could be done to stop backyard breeders.

Andy Puchalski she has my name! Awwww please! Lol

#cgpralums Pyrce, Poppy, and Sweet Pea continue to practice their synchronized snoozling routine in hopes of representing the USA in the next Olympic games.

Wait? What? Synchronized snoozling is not a sport?

Well, it should be.

Shall we have some good news?

Walther (left) has been in our care since September 2022. He came to us from a shelter partner.

He came to them with a gunshot wound in his front shoulder, a mangled rear leg, and heartworms.

First, Dr. Davis at Monroe Road Animal Hospital removed the bullet. Then we learned that his leg issues were inoperable so Dr. Hendren at Commonwealth Animal Hospital amputated his leg...and gave him a snippy while he was under! Finally, Dr. Sage treated him for heartworms.

And after alllllllll that...he was adopted!

Walt is the happiest boy. He wags his tail constantly and gives amazing Pyr hugs. Coleen, Joe, and Beau loved him at first sight just as we did!

Duncan couldn't have found a better home. Coleen and Joe are the best Pyrenees parents! πŸ’—

Yes!!! Another TriPaw finds a home! Loki sends his love. πŸ’•πŸ’•

So glad to hear he's off to a great home after all he's been through! And you were all more than due for a "good news" story after the week you've had!!

Gotta say - I like his name! πŸ™‚

This is so awesome.

Angel is the third of the four Pyrs we took in this past weekend from a backyard breeder in Anson Co.

I almost didn't post this video. My hands were shaking (I about dropped my phone--sorry for the finger in the lens), and my voice cracked at the end, which I cut out.

We are careful not to describe our dogs as damaged goods, and we want to emphasize the hope that each rescued Pyr embodies. Their pasts are not their fault, and Pyrs have a remarkable ability to move on.

After Shannon brought Angel out and showed me her ear, I was rattled. Those of us who run this organization have been doing it for a long time and have seen it all and then some. Honestly, as bad as Jill looks, we have seen starved and bald Pyrs before.

Angel's ear looks like something out of a horror movie. Clearly, something ripped part of her ear off, and someone tried to treat the wound, but it looks botched and mangled. I've never seen anything like it. I had that feeling of compassion when one sees another's injury and grieves for how much it hurt--the term we use for it in my real job is "pain empathy."

Even those folks that see abused and neglected animals sometimes don't have words and can't keep it together. Sometimes the pain empathy is overwhelming. A couple other volunteers cried over Jill. Angel is the one whose condition broke my heart.

So here is a video that's not as thoughtful as the ones we normally do, but I couldn't redo it without crying. It felt right in that moment to put my phone down, kiss Angel's forehead, and promise her that her future will be one without pain.

We will make good on that promise to her, Sabrina, Jill, and Kelly.

I’m heartbroken, thank you for saving these angel pyrs❀️

OMG I’m tearing up!!! Breaks my heart with joy that she is with you guys and has been saved!!

All she’s been through and she is wagging her tail while you talk about her 🐾

I just donated. Thank you for all you do for these wonderful, amazing dogs.

I can't watch the video. My heart and soul wouldn't be able to handle it. 😒 But, I thank God for what all of you are doing for these precious babies. My prayer is that one day I'll be able to adopt a precious pyr from you in memory of my sweet pyr Shayla. May God continue to bless you all for what you do and may He bless these precious angels you are so desperately trying to save. πŸ™

In tears for this sweet baby. I can't imagine what you all who are there with them feel but know that you are their angels. Thank you ❀️ prayers for these beautiful babies and all of you πŸ’•πŸ™πŸΎ

Thank you for the wonderful work you do. Martha would be so pleased!!!

She's beautiful! Love her black markings. Can tell what a gentle soul she is just from her half hairless wagging tail.

It’s the very best name for this sweet girl..and all of you are Angels!! πŸ˜‡

My heart is broken. God bless all of you at the rescue and God help these beautiful furbabies. πŸ˜₯

Such a pretty girl, I'm in tears😒 you are safe now sweetheartπŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

I cannot imagine how anyone can do this to dogs. Pyrs are so amazing. We have two and seeing these videos just breaks my heart

People suck. This breaks my heart. πŸ’” Thank you for helping these sweet dogs.

Precious baby. Please keep us updated in all of them. Thanks for all you do.

Your voice is what our hearts speak. Thank you is not enough. Donating and sharing helps- the more we share the more people will learn.

That's so sad bless her heart I'm praying for all the girls God bless you ❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️

Oh that tail wag - through it all- and she still believes in humans πŸ’”

First time she's ever known gentleness, kindness, and already the tail's wagging and she senses she's finally safe. I can't imagine the toll it takes on all of you involved in this rescue to see dogs in this condition.

Praying and Praying. Please God give these beautiful Piers a new life.

Even after how they have been treated, they still wag their tails. What a beautiful girl.

she is very resilient and will blossom in your care!

Her tail wag says it all. Peace.

I can't even... my heart. Poor sweet gal.

God Bless πŸ™

Are the abusers going to be charged or jailed for this?they need to be
