UPDATE: We have several volunteers for the coastal NC transports. If we have any Pyrents heading to Maine later this month, let us know! Ozzy's furever home is waiting!

--‐------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have three transport needs for which we are seeking volunteers to give a Pyr a lift:

1) A military family in the Camp LeJeune area. We need someone to pick up their Pyr and bring her to the rescue in Marshville, NC. Dates/times flexible.

2) A military family in the Surf City area. They can meet a driver part way but need help getting their Pyr to the rescue in Marshville, NC. Dates/times flexible.

3) This is a long shot, but...is anyone driving up to western Maine in late July or early August and able to take a Pyr from the rescue in Marshville, NC to our sister rescue Western Maine Great Pyrenees Rescue? Dates flexible.

If you can help with any of these transport needs, please comment in the thread or direct message us.

Thank you!

The Pyrs know when they are safe. Babe is currently on her freedom ride from a shelter partner to the rescue. Look at that smile! You can see the relief!

Thanks to Gena for giving her a lift!

Stay tuned for more information about Babe as we get to know her.

The holiday weekend is over, people! Back to work! Someone has to pay your Pyr's bills...and it is *you*! 🤣😂😁

Banner checked in and let us know that he has a snuggle buddy at the ready for his weekend nights!

Looking for a cuddle partner of your own?

The bar scene sucks. Online dating is so much effort.

May we suggest adopting a Pyr?! Guaranteed love with no drama beyond the barking and fur everywhere, but at least you know what you are getting into! 🤣

These are the velcro Pyrs currently in our care. Maybe one or two are your true loves!

Happy July 4th, friends of the Pyrs!

We have a special post to share that's a Pyrfect fit for this day.

The Carolinas are home to several military bases, and we are currently helping three Pyr-owning families in the U.S. armed forces who will be deploying soon and need assistance.

We help Pyr owners in the military whenever we can. This isn't about politics but about prioritizing those who really have no choice when they are told that they have to move suddenly. If we can, we want to make it a little easier for them by ensuring their loved dogs are being cared for.

One of those dogs is a senior whose Marine owners could no longer care for him. We wanted to help Yeti, but we also believe the rescue kennels are no place for a silver snout, especially one prone to giving himself hot spots when anxious.

We are so grateful that we have Pyr owners we could ask to open their hearts and home to a deployment dog. We were pretty sure that the first family we asked, Steve and Michelle, were going to say yes....after all, Steve served in the Marine Corps, and the family has taken in a deployment dog before ( Mouse). Well, we called that one! Thanks so much to Steve and Michelle!

We are grateful for the network of fluffy dog people this rescue has brought together over the decades. Yeti is thriving in Steve and Michelle's care, as we knew he would.

One gentle giant at a time, we can make the world a better place by helping good dogs and sometimes, their people, too.

That's something to celebrate! Yeti's smile says it all!

Stella's mama is a Pyr. Clearly, we know where she got that sass and that *look*!

Mollie checked in from her .

She is happy to report that she found a good spot for snoozles and snuggles. 🥰😀

Stella works hard as a child guardian dog...and what's super cute about these pictures is that Stella is protecting the neighborhood kids along with her BFFF (that's best fur friend furever), Potato! Who says that a "guardian's" charges have to be chickens, goats, or sheep?!

We place Pyrs as BOTH livestock guardian dogs and as pets. The route depends on what we think is the best life for each dog.

We have a handful of Pyrs currently in rescue who will make outstanding pets to families with older children (but perhaps not infants and very small little humans--these dogs are all playful). If you would like to add one of these delightful dogs to your household, please read our policies and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Meet Bubba, a precious young adult male who is waiting for his .

Bubba is a playful, social boy who would love to join a household with a spunky female dog his size, smaller dogs of either s*x, and/or kids.

His fur is patchy in places as a result of flea-bite dermatitis and a yeast infection from itching, both of which have been treated. He is recovering beautifully and is ready to leave the rescue and live in a home where his coat can finish growing back.

To learn more about Bubba or any of our wonderful dogs, please read our policies and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.
