this poor boy's time is up. I am desperatly trying to make room for him but I don't think I am going to be able to... I have 17 here right now, and most of them are big guys.
Shelter had him listed as a shepherd/husky mix. He's definitely a young (prob around 5-6 months) pyr puppy and he's very scared. He's in the back of the photo. I couldn't get him to come to me. I am going back tomorrow to take him out and brush him and look him over. he has humongous paws.
everyone keep your fingers crossed I can find him a space before they refuse to hold him for me any longer.

Shawn, I haven't been around much (tons going on here), but I just checked in before going to bed and saw your post. :'( I'm sure that you probably have all of these contacts, so I hesitate to mention them, but do you know if NC Pyr Rescue has any room for him?

Poor puppy, he does look so scared (and so does that poor lab). :( What can we do to help? I'll check this thread in the morning to see what's happening.

I was at an event over the weekend and an all breed rescue mentioned to me that the Pyr Rescue is out of room for intakes. If you can pull him, PM me I live in Mt holly and can see what I can do as far as helping find a foster home or possibly permanent home for him.
-
I would foster him, but I am in Louivsille, Ky. If we can set up a transport, I'm more than willing to help out. (wor dof caution - I have 2 cats and 2 young kids also - so when you work with him today, check for any agression issues.)
-
He's at Gaston- I'm going to go and see him this afternoon if I can around noon. I'll pull him out and take some more pictures of him or maybe pull him if I think I can find a foster home for him. Really, I just need a place for him to go until Monday. If I can find somebody to take him until Monday I can take him back here- but I have to place some of these dogs, and right now they are all waiting on surgeries. Thursday six of them are getting spayed/neutered and I am holding for the weekend then their approved homes are picking them up on Monday. That means I will have plenty of room for him at that point, I just need someone to hold him for about a week.
I'll do a full temp test on him if I can get up there today-You are not far away from me at all in Mt. Holly- maybe 15-20 minutes. Email me if you are interested in coming to meet him and maybe foster- Shawn@adoptcarolina.com -
Yes, unfortunatly the pyr rescue is full on intakes as most of us are... what makes it worse is animal control has him listed as a shepherd mix so they are wary he's not a pyr. And who knows, he may not be PB, he may just LOOK like a pyr, but he really does to me. (What do you guys think, or is the pic too bad to tell) Also- hes so incredibly scared, when I first saw him he bolted for the back of the kennel and laid straight down and wouldnt look at me.
-
He looks like a Pyr to me, either dirty or mixed with a Golden Retriever :) If he is a Pyr he looks more like 8-9 months but I can't tell as he is too far away in the picture :P Sorry, I am too far away to help but I really hope you find someone quickly :)
Good luck, Shawn! You are the best :-*
-
hehhee, to me he looks like a Chow/Golden. I really see Chow in his face. (Cabeza has Chow, too, and his face reminds me of Cabeza)
-
Looks like a Pyr to me.
-
He looks like a Pyr to me, too. Poor guy, he knows that he's in a bad place, that's why he's staying away from that door. :'( Bless you, Shawn! :-*
-
Where is he? I have a feeling not near me but I am in Ontario and could foster/find home, I am off for months of May and June.
-
Hmm...I just don't see Pyr! His ears stick out to the side, and his eyes are really close-set. He just has the same serious Chow look about him that Cabeza has. I guess its hard to see from the pic.
-
I went and temp tested him today.. or tried to. I do think he is a mix, pyr and maybe golden, but definitely a lot of pyr. He looks just like a pyr except a bit in the face and he is a big big puppy. He's solid white also, no hint of color anywhere.
Bad news- he failed his temp test...miserab ly. In fact, he bit me. It took me 30 minutes to convince him to come out of the corner where he sat and growled at me. I refused to catch pole him, but just left him alone and didnt look at him and talked to him, and finally got him on a leash, but then he bolted forward and when the leash got taunt, he swung around and went to bite my arm. I got my arm up and spun out of the way and he caught my leg and I got three nasty punctures on my calf. Very bad too, and since he dosen't have a rabies shot that means A) I get to go for a rabies and tetnus shot again since I think its been too long since my last one, and B) I dont think I can convince animal control not to test him for rabies. Which..well yea you all know what that means.
Poor guy, I feel terrible for him. I really tried because i know he was just so horribly scared, but I don't think there's anything I can do, and they will not let any other rescue group near him for liability now. :'(
-
Oh I am so sorry that it didn't work out. It is sor hard because I know you want to save them all :'( At least you gave him a chance.
What about the lab mix that was with him?

Lab mix was gassed this morning :'( I hate this job sometimes.
-
:'( That is so sad. I almost wish I hadn't asked. He looked like such a sweet gentle pup :'(

I'm so sorry to hear this for you and for both of those dogs. :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
I don't know how you do it. Well, the poor scared pyr mix pup had a great opportunity but was too traumatized to go any further, poor thing. And the other pup - well, that's just too sad for words. :'( I'm sorry puppies. Rest in peace little lab mix. And hang in there little pyr mix. Your peace will be soon, and you can leave your terror and fear behind. :'(
-
Im so sorry to hear about your wounds... God bless you for trying!Poor thing is scared to death.
-
I'm gonna start cying right here at work.
Poor babies.
I hope your leg heals quickly, I know he didn't mean to hurt you, he was just scared.

I was reading this morning- starting with the first post first and I was going to tell you that I would take him- my husband is in NC now and heading back. I hate that he didnt survive that horrible place. My heart is also breaking for this poor baby, being that young and scared. Some people should be gassed, not the dogs that they neglected.
