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



 
Date into Rescue:  1/8/2020
Reason for being in rescue:  breeder release/puppy who did not sell

Special Needs:  David came from a breeder, a puppy who did not sell.  He was kennel raised and will need time and patience to learn how to be a pet. David must go to a home with an experienced dog owner.  He is not for the first time dog owner.  He has behavior quirks that need an experienced dog owner to correct.   
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Weight: 46 lb
Height: 24 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Adoption Fee: $200

Fence needed? Yes

What kind of home would be best for me? David needs an experienced dog owner and someone who is knowledgeable with training, David has some nipping issues. Its only happening when he gets really excited. He could benefit from another large dog being in the house but doesn't have to have one. David needs a home with high exercise and lots of activities to keep him busy. No children under the age of 18 is a must for him at this time. David needs a lot of structure and routine in his life.  He needs training and behavior modification.  He gets very stressed and will bark until he is comfortable again. 

What is my personality like? David takes some time to warm up, a little longer than most, but once he does he is very energetic and is ready to play! David does have some small nipping issues especially with hands when he gets to excited. He does get a little uneasy when other dogs invade his personal space too much. David is also social with other dogs.  He has a large playgroup that he hangs out with everyday and does really well with. He gets stressed in his crate and barks a lot while in there. David will need training and will need full on exercise everyday. David is great with other dogs. It is humans he is very unsure about. David will need time, a lot of time, to fully understand what it means to be a pet. He may never fully make the transition to pampered pooch but we're hoping someone out there with experience and time will see his beautiful face and want to help him try.  

How do I act when I first meet new people? Timid and shy, takes time to warm up

Other tips and tidbits: Birthdate 8/30/2018

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.
