Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue is dedicated to helping these gentle fluffy giants in NC and SC. Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue is a non-profit based out of the Charlotte metro area that works to rescue and rehome abandoned and abused Pyrs in North and South Carolina. We were established in 1992 in Winston-Salem by Martha Rehmeyer, and we moved to our current location in 2016 when Martha retired. We are a member of the Great Pyrenees Club of America (GPCA). Our volunteer-based organization advocates for the breed and educates 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.
