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: 6/20/2020
Reason for being in rescue: Oscar was pulled from a rural shelter in North Carolina
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Oscar is a senior dog. He has a grade 4/6 heart murmor and will require daily medicine for the rest of his life. He had major surgery for bladder challenges, was neutered, and had a dental with extractions in early July. Oscar will require a special diet to help manage his bladder issues for the rest of his life.
Weight: 9.70 lbs
Height: 9 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Adoption Fee: $1 - I am priceless

Fence needed? No

What kind of home would be best for me? Precious Oscar is looking for a retirement home. He needs to be the only dog in a home with someone home during the day. All that Oscar wants is a lap and snuggles. He needs a home committed to maintaining his daily heart medicine and special diet to help him live his healthiest life.

What is my personality like? Oscar is a quiet gentleman. At an estimated 15 years young we cannot blame him. Oscar loves food. He is food motivated and will work for food, though at this point in life he is past wanting to do lots of tricks. He also loves soft beds and can be found snuggling down into any soft bed he can find. Oscar also loves to ride in cars! He will curl up in your lap for the ride and happily tag along for any road trip adventure you may be on.

Oscar does not like other dogs. He will snap at them if they come too close to his space, especially if they are in his place. We figure he's earned the right to be the king of someone's castle!

How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly

Other tips and tidbits: Oscar's estimated birthday is 6/21/2005

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.
