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? Kiwi would do best in a home with an experienced dog owner who is home most of the day. She is energetic and playful and would do well with a family. She would also do well with a single adopter or couple if they can provide her with moderate exercise, say a walk or two a day or a trip to the dog park. This beautiful girl is nearly a blank slate and will adapt to her adopter's life provided you allow her time to adjust to you and her new home. Kiwi is hoping you take her blank slate and paint a masterpiece.
What is my personality like? Kiwi is an inquisitive young girl learning about a world where everything is new to her. She has been with us a short time, so she is adjusting to her new surroundings. Kiwi has had minimal socialization during her first 2 years. Here in rescue she is learning to interact with both dogs and humans. We have found Kiwi walks on a leash but will need consistent practice on the leash. She also needs taught her basic commands like sit, stay, come, down, etc. Kiwi likes treats and is food motivated, both rewards will help her learn quickly. She does well with a set routine and to help her with potty training you should get her out at the same times each day. Her caregivers have seen her adjusting to being here and believe she will be a confident girl once she matures.
Kiwi is playful yet cautious. She likes to initiate play, with both humans and dogs, but shies away when they initiate it. This will probably change as she gets more comfortable with you. She does well with both men and women, and we expect she'll do fine with children. She's great with dogs; we are unsure of how she does with cats.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Kiwi is cautious when she first meets you, but warms up quickly.
Other tips and tidbits: According to vet records provided by her owner, Kiwi was born on 4/20/2021.
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.
