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.

Fence needed? Yes, Zeppelin is a big guy and needs to live in a house with a four (4) foot tall, or taller, fenced yard.
What kind of home would be best for me? Zeppelin needs an experienced dog adopter. He is a beautiful young dog whose uncertain past still leaves him a little rough around the edges. On his own in a calm environment, he is happy-go lucky. In large crowds, Zeppelin feeds off the energy in the room and is easily over-stimulated. An over-stimulated young dog that doesn't know how to check his emotions can sometimes lead to naughty behaviors. It would probably be best for both you and Zeppelin if he were the only dog in the home. He can be placed in a home with a calm and stable female dog. He doesn't do well with male dogs or dogs that are high strung. Zeppelin is a calm and stable dog unless another dog riles him up. For this reason, you cannot take him to dog parks. Zeppelin needs an adopter who understands this and steers him to situations that will be beneficial to Zeppelin when they go out. If you keep him calm he is a wonderful dog. Zeppelin would do best in a home without kids unless they are older and calmer, about high school age. This big guy had a rough start to life but still loves people. Please note, this smart guy knows how to open latched gates. You will need to tie down or put a lock on the latch.
What is my personality like? Zeppelin was found abandoned in a field. This poor guy was dumped in a field in the country and stood on the side of the road in that field for a week! The big guy had no idea why he was there and why no one would come for him. Thankfully finally someone stopped, picked him up, and reached out to rescue for help. Named because of his wild hair when he arrived, Zeppelin has been a delight since the day he arrived at Dreamweaver Farms.
Zeppelin enjoys being around people and he gets along well with calm female dogs. He rides well when crated though he doesn't enjoy being put into the crate. Once in, he's fine. Zeppelin needs to be taught basic commands like, sit, stay, come, down, etc. We have seen him walk well on a leash, but his adopter should reinforce his training on leash. Zeppelin is a smart guy and loves to please people. This fact, and the fact that he is food motivated, should allow his adopter to easily train Zeppelin. Currently, he tends to mark his territory when inside so his adopter will need to teach him not to do this.
Zeppelin is trusting that there is a kind, caring, and loving adopter out there for him, so that when it comes time to write his story it will be a rags-to-riches saga with his adopter as the hero. Be Zeppelin's hero and take this big guy home.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Zeppelin is a people lover and people pleaser. He almost loves people more than he does treats. Put them together and he's in heaven.
Other tips and tidbits: Zeppelin was found as a stray so we have absolutely no history on him. Our vet estimates Zeppelin's birth date to be on or about 2/21/2023.
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.
