Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue makes second chances possible for abused, abandoned, and at-risk Pyrs in North & South Carolina.

Our volunteer-based organization rehabilitates and rehomes over 100 Pyrs each year -- and have been since 1992! We advocate for the breed and educate others about the proper care of these “gentle giants.” We also serve as a resource for Pyr owners throughout the region whether or not they adopted through CGPR. We sponsor social events and maintain an on-line presence that enables Pyr people to meet and communicate with one another because we believe that celebrating the wonderful dogs who share our homes is an important part of rescue. We are a 501(c)3, licensed to solicit in the state of NC, and have a Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency.

We have the best news to share and have received the sweetest treat today!

Our darling escape artist Hope, who got out of her adoptive home while settling in there and who has been having an adventure in the woods connecting Matthews and Mint Hill, NC, has been caught and is safely back at the rescue.

Hope has walked by humane traps set for her by our friends at Tucker K-9 Search & Rescue with rotisserie chicken. She has more posters and flyers of her up than an old time outlaw. She has ignored volunteers she knows who have walked those areas dozens of times, including with other dogs she likes as enticements. We've had countless sightings. She has given the folks at Tucker K-9 and us a run for our money. Over and over.

This morning, a family saw her in their fenced yard, and they closed the gate and called Tucker K-9.

When she heard the news, Shannon was en route immediately.

Hope acted like "what took you so long?!", jumped right in the truck, was thrilled to be back at the rescue, and plopped her fluffy ass in her Pyrpartment like she had never left. She's sleeping like the dead.

Happy Halloween! May you enjoy a wonderful treat today! We sure did!

We want to extend a BIG THANKS to our friends at Tucker K-9. We are also grateful for all those who reported sightings of Hope and were kind to her while she was on her adventure.

Heeeeeey, friends of the Pyrs!

It is ! Our favorite day!

Michael, Marilyn, and Wiley met multiple Pyrs waiting for their families at Pyrnic 2026. When they were introduced to Easton, that was it.

The Pyrs know who they want to adopt them. Our job is to get those people to the rescue.

Congrats to all!

Darling Jeff is waiting for his Pyrfect Match! We can't believe that he is still here. What's not to love?!

This sweet young male is playful, social, and handsome, too. Look at those caramel-dipped ears!

Jeff would like to join an active home that includes a female dog his size or smaller dogs of either s*x.

He is a great match for a family with kids!

To meet Jeff or any of the wonderful dogs in our care, read about our placement process and fill out an application to schedule a meet-and-greet at carolinapyrrescue.com.

Thanks for likes and shares! They really do matter and help us get our Pyrs into furever homes!
