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? April is half of a bonded pair (with her daughter Lemon Drop). First and foremost, we are looking for a home with room in their heart for 2 special dogs. April and Lemon Drop have been taken aback by their surroundings. They are not used to the noise of so many other dogs and they are not used to not sleeping without their human nearby. They need owners that will be home most if not all day and will be attentive to them always. Both the precious little girls are taking a while to adjust to living here because they lived in a house and were pampered and loved on constantly. They are looking for their forever family that can once again, provide them with the life they are so accustomed to.
What is my personality like? April is a nearly seven-year-old Shih Tzu. She and her daughter Lemon Drop are recent arrivals to CPR. Their owner developed a serious medical condition that would not allow her to continue caring for them in the manner she, and they, had been accustomed to. These girls need to be adopted together.
April and Lemon Drop are both still apprehensive about their surroundings. Their personalities have yet to emerge, but we expect they will shine once they are safely lodged in their new forever home. April is far more wary and reserved than is Lemon Drop. She will need much love and reassuring from her adopter and even then she probably won't stray far from Lemon Drop. Because we have yet to see their true personalities we cannot recommend a house with children for them.
These two little ladies are looking to spend the best years of their lives with adopters that can provide them a calm and caring home. They will do well in either an apartment or house.
How do I act when I first meet new people? April does not approach people and will back into the corner when they approach her. Because April came from a loving home and is now housed with many other dogs she has not shown her true self. She is very afraid and confused right now with her new situation. We will monitor April and update her development as the days pass. We do expect her to adjust and show more personality in the future with her caregivers here at CPR.
Other tips and tidbits: Our vet estimates April's birthday to be 4/1/2017.
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.
