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.

What kind of home would be best for me? Precious, like her BFF Ginger, is a middle-aged girl who's looking to spend the best years of her life in a home that can provide them a calm and caring home They need owners that will be home most if not all day and will be attentive to them always. Both Precious and Ginger are taking a while to adjust to living here at CPR because they are used to living in a house and being pampered and loved on constantly. They are looking for a forever family that can once again, provide them with that life that they are accustomed to. They need a calm home. They will do well in either an apartment or house.
What is my personality like? Precious and Ginger have warmed up considerably since first coming to us, but both are still apprehensive about their surroundings. Their personalities will shine once they are safely lodged in their new forever home. Precious takes her cues from Ginger, who the more confident of the two girls. Neither girl will rush to meet you or jump on you. Both love any affection being shown to them.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Precious is far more wary than Ginger. She loves pets and attention paid to her, but she takes longer to warm up to people than Ginger. The best way to have Precious warm up to you is to first have Ginger warm up to you. Once you take a few minutes sitting on the floor Ginger will end up in your lap. When Precious sees you petting Ginger, she too will come in for pets. Precious loves chin scratches and scratches between her hips will freeze her in place with a big smile on her face.
Other tips and tidbits: Our vet estimates Precious' birthday to be 2/16/2016.
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.
