We take in lots of dogs from homes where they were loved but because of the death of an owner, divorce, human sickness, loss of a job, etc., these Pyrs ended up needing a lifeline.

Jack and his brother Jake came to us for a reason like that. Dogs like Jack are a reminder that our lives may sometimes fall apart, but they can get better and be full of love, walks, naps, and belly rubs again.

Follow Jack on Instagram at @pyr_of_the_pines to see him living every rescued dog's dream!

Vote for him here to help us make that dream come true for other rescued dogs in 2027.

Never underestimate the power of a charming Pyrsonality!

Teddy's story is a great example of an aspect of rescue we do best: by caring for the adoptable Pyrs at one location, approved applicants can meet as many of the 40 dogs in our care as might be a good match. Our return rate is very low as a result. When we let the Pyrs pick their people, they get it right!

Take Teddy as a Pyrfect example: "Once upon a time, I was a wandering gentleman named Sebastian. My sister and I were found roaming around and ended up at a local animal shelter. Not exactly the five-star accommodations I had in mind. Thankfully, the wonderful humans at Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue (CGPR) came to my rescue and gave me a second chance.

Fast forward to September 2026. A family showed up at CGPR to meet another dog. Plot twist: They left with ME. Well, not immediately, but let’s just say I knew an opportunity when I saw one. A little charm, some strategically placed puppy eyes, and suddenly I had a new family, a new home, and a new name: Teddy. Personally, I think it suits me. I’m basically a giant teddy bear with strong opinions.

Now I’m living the suburban dream! I’ve got three human siblings who adore me, two cats who don’t always know my greatness, and an older canine sister who keeps me in line.

My days are filled with important responsibilities. I accompany Mom to work, supervise household activities, strategically position myself wherever I’m most inconvenient, and maintain a rigorous neighborhood security program. Delivery drivers? Suspicious. Neighbors walking? Suspicious. Leaves blowing? EXTREMELY suspicious. Absolutely nothing happening? Better bark just in case.

I’ve also accumulated an impressive collection of toys, although my favorite pastime is reminding everyone that I am, in fact, a lap dog. My size is irrelevant.

Life has changed quite a bit since my wandering days. I went from not knowing where I’d end up to having a house full of people, pets, toys, love, and an entire neighborhood that benefits from my unsolicited security services.

I may not have been the dog my family originally came to meet, but apparently, I was exactly the dog they needed.

Moral of my story? Sometimes the best things in life aren’t what you went looking for. Sometimes they’re a fluffy, stubborn, excessively vocal Great Pyrenees named Teddy.

And to CGPR, thanks for saving me. I’ve got the night shift covered from here."

Candy is the sweetest. No pun intended.

She came to us from a shelter partner with obvious orthopedic issues.

Most public shelters in the Carolinas have no budget or staff to provide anything beyond basic veterinary care, if even that.

But shelter staff told us how loving she was and advocated for her. And so we took a chance, pulled her from the shelter, and hoped we could help her mobility.

Her situation was worse than we anticipated because she had both meniscus and ACL tears, but the rescue Pyrs' fabulous surgeon thought she could patch her up enough to have a good quality of life without pain.

And so with your help through donations, Candy got her surgery. Approved adopters, Shana and Jason, offered to foster her and take her to PT sessions. Well, you've probably already guessed how this chapter of Candy's story ended: with adoption and the loving home she deserves!

Candy is a great example of the kind of dogs we take in who would have no chance without rescue. We're not scared of surgeries, vet bills, or PT routines, and with your support, we can help more dogs like Candy get the care they need in 2027.

We already introduced you to Thor...so you know his brother has to be named...what?!

Just like their namesakes, they aren't bonded. Actually, they don't like each other much at all. 🤣 We will be placing them in separate homes. ...

We are close to raising $5,000 toward rescue expenses through our 2027 calendar contest, which is our biggest fundraiser of the year.

Will Sweetpea and Poppy take us over the next fundraising goal?! We hope so!

Their story is a Pyrfect example of why rescue matters! These two girls came to us back in 2016. They were seized when a cockfighting operation in South Carolina was shut down.

They had no chance of adoption at that rural shelter.

Sweetpea was positive for heartworms and needed treatment, which costs $1,000. Poppy had an injured leg and needed surgery, which cost an additional couple thousand.

We raised the funds to treat both girls and, more important, kept this bonded mother-daughter pair together. They spent their lives happy, health, and loved in a home with their brother Pyrce.

How often do you see bonded pairs being placed through our county shelters? Almost never.

Why? It generally takes longer to place two dogs together, and our public shelters don't have that time.

Our rescue makes the time. We commit to caring for the dogs we take in for as long as it takes, and for many, that means finding a home for a bonded pair of dogs. This is especially important for Pyrs, who are deeply social.

How often do you see us promoting our bonded pairs? ALL THE TIME!

Sweetpea crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this year, and her Pyrents entered her to honor her. Let's get this sweet girl some votes and celebrate second chances for bonded pairs! ...

Astrid has crossed the rainbow bridge, and her owners are honoring her memory by having entered this gorgeous photo in our calendar contest. We love all of the contestants' pictures this year, but Astrid's took our breath away. She was pure joy!

There are lots of ways we remember our heart dogs. Some people choose to adopt again. Other people make a donation to the rescue. Some enter this contest and share a favorite picture.

What a lovely tribute to Astrid: to raise money for other dogs to know what it is to have a loving home like the one she had.
