My name is Tim Duncan Jan 25!

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? Tim Duncan is suitable for a home or an apartment and would do well with a family or single adopters and prefer humans who are home more than they are away. He’s an easy going, mature dog who is looking for gentle, calm owners who will unconditionally provide love and support for the pair. He wants humans who have low expectations of him, and a firm belief that your dogs are the most important creatures on earth! 

What is my personality like? Meet Tim Duncan - a quiet, sweet Chihuahua with the heart the size of a lion and the body of a baked potato. He is the gentle, and thoughtful type who prefers to observe the world from the safety of his cozy spot! While Tim may be a bit reserved at first, once he feels safe, his soft eyes and tender heart will melt yours, He’s a “let's all sit quietly and watch the world together” kind of guy. He is looking for a patient, loving home where he can continue to blossom.

Tim Duncan enjoys things like yummy treats, back scratches, frolicking in the sun and following other dogs around of course! If you’re willing to give him a little time and patience, you’ll uncover a world of sweetness. He desperately needs adopters who will appreciate his quiet, gentle presence. 

Here's what Tim Duncan's previous owners had to say about him...."He is a big personality in a small package. He is spunky and loves to take a walk on a leash and does well when given time. He enjoys just being with his person whether that is hanging out on the couch asleep at their head or being their co pilot on an adventure. He is sometimes a grump but that is just his age. He has a little pur that maybe interpreted incorrectly when he is happy. He will sing with you such as happy birthday or sympathy howl with a tiny human if he is connected to them. He is loyal but does vocally greet people and collect their pets and love."

If you’re looking for endless love and entertainment, look no further!

How do I act when I first meet new people? Tim Duncan is a low key dog. He is gentle and quiet. Don't expect him to run up and greet you - he's more likely to wait and watch and approach on his terms. Once he determines you're okay, he will be very happy for you to shower him with pets and affection.

Other tips and tidbits: Tim Duncan's birthday is 1/28/2014

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as 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.
