Description:
Thank you for your interest in dog who needs a new home.  Adoption can be one of the most fulfilling experiences in your life and especially in the life of your new canine companion.

A note to those looking at CPR.  We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone.  Our job is to find those someone's.  Our most successful adopters come to CPR not because they want a dog.  They come to us because they want to give a dog a home.  We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture.  While we like to know what you like in looks, a dog is more than a pretty face.  Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home.  We want to create furever families. 

Our descriptions contain all that we know about this dog today.  We'll update as more information is known. 

Are you looking to adopt within the next 30 days?  If so please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and complete the application.  You'll find it in the menu on the left hand side.  You'll also find a total listing of all our dogs available. 

Just browsing but interested in poodles and poodle mixes?  Please drop a note to applications@carolinapoodlerescue.org with your name, address and phone # and email.  We'll add you to our mailing list.

thanks
the CPR Adoption team

What kind of home would be best for me? We are seeking a home with an owner or owners who would be home a great deal as Molly loves the time together.  A bit of a couch potato, no great exercise needs, she wants to be near you all the time, but is not a pest.  A retired or work from home situation would be lovely.  Someone who understands that there is no need for punishment with this sensitive girl; she has no vices except when her instincts tell her to chase small animals. Molly will not be placed in a home with small dogs or cats. She has history with small animals and cannot be trusted with them. 

Molly does shed, she is NOT hypoallergenic, and her coat mats unless you can comb/brush her daily.  

What is my personality like? Molly is very tender and devoted.  She wants to attach to one or two people and be near them, but she behaves well in a house when she has to be alone (or she can be expected to after an adjustment period).  She's very affectionate, loves to hug and cuddle, and just wants security and kindness.  She's a bit of a goofball, loves to play catch and joyful and sweet.  Molly lives to please, is terribly sensitive and needs only the merest, quiet "uhuh" to know not to do something, and it will never happen again.

Molly is a bit shy about peeing/pooping on lead. She is very submissive and sensitive. She's very quick to go to the ground submissively and the only thing she ever does that is frustrating is when she does not want to do something you want her to do (eg go outside in the rain) or does not understand what you want her to do, she will shut down quickly and go to the floor. Any attempt to solve that just amplifies it. That's just time to walk away and give her space.

Molly is intensely obedient. She reminds us of working border collies we have known, in fact, with the intense "tell me tell me tell me, I'll do it" attitude. She would thrive in structured partnered activity including scent work, or agility, or something similar. Molly is leash trained and walks well on a loose leash. She is extraordinarily perceptive about tone of voice -  a little goes a long way with this girl. 

In her previous home, Molly slept in bed with her humans. She is on and off the bed several times at night. She will crawl into your lap to cuddle and if you open your arms she will come in for an intense hug. 

How do I act when I first meet new people? Molly is frightened but curious when meeting new people, and shows all her conflicts - trying to sniff, but backing away, barking, but trying to meet.  Just ignore her for a few minutes and she'll discover you are safe and settle right in.

Other tips and tidbits: Molly's birthday is 5/30/2018 

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.

Please note - we do not ship dogs.  If you are interested in adopting, please take a look at the distance between the foster home location and your location and make sure you are willing to make that trip.  Most of our dogs are at our farm in Pacolet, South Carolina.  

To apply, please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and visit the tab on the left that directions you to the online application.

Please note that when screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home.   You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, color, age, etc.  Others here may be a better fit for you.  It is very difficult to get to know a living animal from a picture and a short description.  Since we are constantly getting in new dogs, this may be a  dog not in our listings yet.  We want you to be very happy with your new companion and will make suggestions based on what you tell us about you.

Thank you for considering CPR.
