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? Lemon Drop is half of a bonded pair (with her mother April). First and foremost, we are looking for a home with room in their heart for 2 special dogs. Lemon Drop is more comfortable in rescue than is April. Neither of these lovely little ladies is used to the noise of so many other dogs and they miss sleeping with their human nearby. These girls need a home where their humans will be home most of the day and shower them with love and affection constantly. Lemon Drop and April are looking for a forever family that can once again provide them with that life.
What is my personality like? Lemon Drop is a five-year-old Shih Tzu who recently arrived at CPR with her mother April. Their owner developed a serious medical condition which meant she could no longer care for them. She made the agonizing, yet most loving decision she could make, she gave them up to CPR to find them new forever homes that would treat them in the manner they'd become accustomed to.
Lemon Drop, unlike her mother April, will approach you. However, she shies away when you go to pet her. We believe this is a sign that she wants your love and will soon allow her caregivers to pet her. We expect both Lemon Drop and April to shine once they are in their new forever home. Because we haven't seen their true personalities emerge, we cannot recommend a house with children for them at this time.
Lemon Drop and April desperately want to send the best years of their lives in a home that can provide them a relaxed, calm, and caring place. These little ladies will do well in either an apartment or house.
How do I act when I first meet new people? As noted above Lemon Drop will approach you and sniff you out. She doesn't allow you to pet her yet. Again, we believe this is due to the adjustment she is making to her new surroundings. We expect both Lemon Drop and her mother April to show their true selves in the coming days and weeks.
Other tips and tidbits: Our vet estimates Lemon Drop's birthday to be on or about 2/7/2019.
House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if 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.
