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? Jackie is a nearly two-year old Poodle/German Shepherd mix looking for her forever home. Since she was a breeder release beautiful Jackie needs a home where her human will be her constant companion and teacher. Her adopter needs the following in abundance, patience, love, understanding, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, calmness, and empathy. Jackie requires another dog in the home - for confidence building and behavior modeling. She has never lived without a canine companion. Jackie likes to be in the mix of that goes on and seems fearless. She would do well with a single adopter, or a couple. We haven't seen her interact with children, but our expectation is that she will love kids. After she has had time to settle in and adjust to her new home we expect she'll enjoy playtime with them. Jackie has a lot of hair, and you will need to comb/shed her often.
What is my personality like? Jackie has only known life as part of a breeding program. She's learning what it means to be a companion and likes what she sees so far. Jackie will need leash training as she pulls very hard on her leash. She has a strong herd drive and will weave between your legs to herd you while walking on a leash. She will also need taught her basic commands like sit, stay, down, come, etc.
Jackie needs a little time to warm up to new people, but she loves the attention she gets from them. She enjoys playing with toys so play time with people is best when toys are involved. Jackie gets along well with other big dogs and has done well with the few smaller dogs she's encountered here. We are not sure how she does with cats. She eats well and shows no signs of food guarding.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Jackie can be a little nervous upon first meeting people, but she warms up quickly. She does well with both men and women, and we expect her to be fine with kids as well. Just give Jackie some time to adjust and learn and you'll soon be rewarded with a new BFF.
Other tips and tidbits: Jackie was born on 6/29/2022.
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.
