Drum roll...

We are happy to announce that Billy Idol (right) has taken up residency in his #FureverHome and will be performing his antics live for Elizabeth, Jon, and Hudson!

And that's a wrap for #FureverHomeFriday for this week!

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!

Did you think that we were done with #FureverHomeFriday pictures?!

Well, we have one more to share!

Debbie, Bryan, Bailey, and Gavin came to the rescue in August to adopt one dog...

...and decided to adopt Xena and Scotty together after she finished treatment for heartworms! Look at those smiles!

As we say, Pyrs are like potato chips. One is never enough!

Our second #FureverHomeFriday picture is Panda!

#CGPRAlum Finn (left)'s dad picked up a sweet young female Pyr mix from a local shelter partner to transport to the rescue. 

Y'all never even got to see her profile because they adopted this adorable girl that they named Pandamonium, or Panda, for short (right)!

They really had no choice: Finn and Panda have color-coordinated black accents in their coats and already have bonded. Who are we humans to argue when our dog decides to adopt a dog?!

Squeaking in before the clock strikes midnight to celebrate #MakoverMonday!

Do y'all remember when Billy Idol came to us this past summer all skinny and scabby with pee pee stained fur? Someone had dumped him, and a Good Samaritan picked him up and cared for him until she could get him to us.

Well, Billy is now Hendrix, and he is checking in from his #FureverHome! This handsome boy has a healthy coat and a charming smile!

Got a little dust in our eyes over here...

Two five-month-old boys named Biscuit and Gravy came to us through a shelter partner today.

Y'all know Jeni and Jaxon from the many freedom ride pictures that we have posted of this mother-son duo bringing Pyrs to rescue over the years.

Well, Jaxon, the adorable *little* boy in the all those pictures, is now old enough to drive while Jeni rode co-pilot! That happened too fast! But the good news is that we have another experienced transport driver now! 😂😍

Big thanks to David and Carla for picking up the "Breakfast Boys" from the shelter and Jaxon and Jeni for doing the second leg of the transport.

Shannon has groomed Andre, and he already feels better!

We estimate this boy to be 2-3 years old.

His skin and ears are a textbook example of the bacterial and fungal infections that come with neglect, but that is treatable with antibiotics, medicated baths, good nutrition, and time.

Miraculously, Andre is negative for heartworms!

This boy is going to sleep well tonight with clean fur, soothed skin, and a full belly!

Andre is on his way to the rescue from the Gaston Co. shelter.

These pictures aren't easy to look at. He is emaciated (64 lbs.), matted, and filthy, and it took a long time for it to get this bad for him. His skin and coat are a mess.

But look in those eyes. Andre wants to feel better.

By the end of the day, Andre will have been groomed and have had a medicated bath to soothe his itchy skin. He will have had his first dinner with all the extra calories and nutrients he needs to gain weight. He will be sleeping in a clean, warm, and dry kennel tonight.

Andre's glow-up starts now.

Thanks to Jeni for giving this stinky boy a lift!

On this Giving Tuesday, we are happy to promote a giving option that many supporters have asked for over the years and that helps us budget for routine veterinary care like neuters/spays and vaccines.

Through PayPal, we are able to accept recurring monthly donations at any level. $5. $10. $25 or more. It all helps and adds up to cover the basics we need to provide each month.

Unlike the major national animal charities, we don't have an advertising budget for tv commercials and mass mailings. We don't send spam emails or flood your phone with text messages. If you donate to us, you won't get another "free" tote bag or plush animal because your money goes to caring for the Pyrs.

What we DO HAVE is a committed group of volunteers who do this work without compensation and a proven track record of placing thousands of dogs in loving homes over thirty years!

If you are looking to give to a reputable animal rescue and make a measurable difference with your gift, we would be honored to have your support each month!

Click here to set up a monthly donation at any amount!
