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

Date into Rescue: 08/24/2025
Reason for being in rescue: Breeder release
Foster location: Foster Home in Raleigh, NC
Special Needs? Valkyrie is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 10/01/2025 she had a dental with 6 extractions. Val is under-socialized. She is working hard on learning in her foster home, but it is a work in progress.
Weight: 8 lbs
Height: 12 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $399 - This adoption fee is increasing effective 11/01/2025
Fence needed? Yes. Val is a flight risk. She requires the safety of a physically fenced yard, without exception.
What kind of home would be best for me? Valkyrie (or Val as her foster mom calls her) is looking for a peaceful, patient home where she can be socialized and learn how to be a dog. A home with children, loud noises or frequent activity will not work for Val. She needs time, space and understanding to continue to blossom and become more confident. Val will only be adopted to a home that is experienced with rescue, ideally rescuing and rehabilitating a dog that was part of a puppy mill.
One thing that is absolutely essential for Val is another confident, friendly dog in the home. She gains reassurance and courage from canine companionship and learns by watching her dog friends. A calm, steady role model who can show her that the world isn’t so scary — that loud noises, new people, and changes can all “roll off like water” — will help her continue to grow and thrive.
If you are considering adopting Val - a dog raised in a breeding facility - please read this important article before you submit an application: https://bestfriends.org/pet-care-resources/what-expect-when-rescuing-puppy-mill-dog
What is my personality like? Val is a beautiful Toy Poodle whose eyes tell a story of cautiousness. As a recent breeder release, many things in the big, wide world are still new to her - including learning to love and trust humans. In foster, she is slowly beginning to learn that life as a loved companion can be safe and kind.
Val is ready to start her new chapter with someone who sees her for who she is- a gentle soul with so much love to give, waiting for the right person (and canine friend) to help her continue her journey. You will have to go slow with Val. It will take time. You will teach her everything.
If you have the patience to let her set the pace, you’ll be rewarded with one of the most heartfelt connections imaginable.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Val is shy and skittish.
Other tips and tidbits: Valkyrie's birthday is 03/23/2021
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.
