Yes, Orson is making eyes at you! What a handsome boy he is!

Thanks to Jeni for giving Orson a lift to the rescue today. This sweet boy was at a county shelter with our friends at Moore County Sheriff's Office Animal Services.

Stay tuned for more information as we get to know him! ... See MoreSee Less

Let's begin #ForeverHomeFriday with a story...

Us: David (longtime Pyrent and volunteer), can you transport this adorable juvenile male named George to the rescue?

David: Sure!

David (after meeting George): Uh...George won't be coming to the rescue... 😂🤣🥰

Congrats to David and Carla on adopting their 10th Pyr!

There's hope for peace on earth, y'all!

#CGPRAlum Waffle has won over Kessa the cat. When Waffle moved into her #FureverHome, Kessa tried to bite her. Perhaps because Waffle tried to sit on her. There was mutual distrust. 🤣😆

We were happy to receive the pupdate that these two girls with big personalities have learned to coexist!

If you are looking to adopt your cat's BFF (that's best fluffy friend), read about our adoption process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

We are SO happy to share that Ed, who came to us from a shelter partner last week, tested negative for heartworms. Thank dog! We are currently treating THREE other Pyrs for heartworms!

April is National Heartworm Awareness Month, and just like we do when we take in a heartworm-positive Pyr, we want to remind Pyrents to give that monthly preventative!

Heartworms are transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Many regions of the Carolinas are warm enough that mosquitos are a year-round reality. If skeeters are bugging you, your dog can be bit by an infected one.

Once the worms begin to reproduce, they cause heart failure and damage the dog's lungs. It takes about six months for worms to reach maturity.

So far in 2026, *NINE* of the dogs we have placed or are currently caring for came to us positive for heartworms. That's about 15% of our dogs. Heartworm treatment is our single largest veterinary expense each year -- just over $1,000 a dog adds up!

In our rescue networks, we console each other that the sad reality is that heartworm-positive dogs are more and more common each year. Misery loves company?! We have been doing this long enough to remember when being asked to take in a heartworm-positive Pyr was rare. Fifteen years ago, we rarely did, and Pyrs who tested positive were most often a neglected dog from the eastern regions of the Carolinas where winters are warmer.

We now take in heartworm-positive dogs from throughout the Carolinas, including the mountains. Many of these dogs don't show signs of neglect or aren't in poor shape. Sometimes they are dogs who simply enjoyed time in a yard and were surrendered by an owner who didn't provide monthly preventative.

Treatment stresses dogs and strains the rescue's resources. It includes a three-month protocol that begins with antibiotics followed by injections of immiticide administered in the lumbar muscles. We provide an oral steroid to reduce inflammation. We limit the dog's activity for 2 to 3 months. They commonly feel like crap.

We have treated hundreds of Pyrs for heartworms. Shannon (the president of the rescue) and Alexis (the Pyrs' vet) have it down. We won't turn down a dog because of heartworms, but we have to be strategic about when we take them in so that we can provide the care they need and pay for it. The math is simple: the more dogs we have to treat for heartworms, the more money we have to raise, and the fewer total dogs we can help.

We can't treat some dogs because of age or conflicting health conditions. Those situations break our hearts. The wheezing of a dog with advanced heartworm disease is the saddest sound.

Here's the good news! Your Pyr *never* has to experience any of this! Prevention is easy, safe, and nearly 100% effective: a veterinarian can test your Pyr to determine that they are negative (and retest annually) and discuss oral, topical, and injectable prevention options with you. Most cost between $10 and $20/month.

We know money is tight for lots of folks, and some counties offer clinics with low-cost testing and discounted preventative.

We know it is hard to remember. We all have a million things going on. Most of us need to set alerts on our phones or mark it on our calendars. I draw red glittery hearts around the 1st of each month, and I'm still a few days late administering the pills sometimes.

But it is important that you do it.

Your Pyr's heart depends on it.
