My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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

Zoe is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Zoe is a poodle and bichon Frise mix according to the owner and she looks it.  We do NOT think she will shed but can never guarantee hypoallergenic. Yes, she does the bichon "wave."  It's adorable. Zoe does submissive wet when excited

Fence needed? No

What kind of home would be best for me? It is rare for us to write up a dog after just a day, but we have a good bit of info about Zoe from the previous owner and feel comfortable it is in Zoe's best interest to find her new and hopefully Furever sooner rather than later. We will edit as we learn more about her.

Zoe wants stability more than anything else. She's had 3 homes (breeder, first owner and then the family member who could not keep her) and is now in #4 (foster) in just 20 months and it shows. She is sweet and tries hard to become your BFF upon first meet but right now, she can only pray this will be forever. So far, nothing has been.

She had a person all her own, it was a good life, and she wants that again.  

We do not think Zoe would be good for someone who works outside the home.  We're looking for a work from home or stay at home person. Someone who wants Zoe to be their constant companion. She just wants to crawl into your lap.  

Zoe could be an only dog or a companion dog. She does not interact much with the other dogs here so far, but we think that will change with time. She is young and while right now, she acts like an old soul she has had a lot of changes. Give her time.

What is my personality like? Zoe was purchased to be a companion to a family member who went into hospice. The family member who helped find Zoe took her in but realized she is not capable to care for the sweet little girl and sought better for her. Her lifestyle is not conducive to a small dog Per her previous owner Zoe is a "very sweet loving dog, she gets along with all dogs, cats and children She is crate trained, house trained and follows basic commands."  We are getting to know her, and all these things seem to be true so far.   

Zoe submissive pees when she meets new people. This is per the previous owner and we saw it on her first day here and are seeing it now.  The previous owner mentioned it to her vet and her vet felt it was behavior as it is very common in dog.  If it continues out of hand, we will have her assessed by our vet but for now we do think it's behavior.  Please note - she does not do this when she meets new dogs which is interesting.  I think there is a more confident personality in there than we are seeing so far. She needs her own home to bring that out and she needs routine and stability.  Submissive peeing can be reshaped.  It takes routine, consistency and loving structure.  Submissive Urination in Dogs: What Is It and Can You Stop It? – Top Dog Tips

How do I act when I first meet new people? Zoe is timid a bit but warms up very quickly. She is not, so far, a social butterfly.  

Other tips and tidbits: Zoe's actual birthdate is 03/22/24.  

Zoe is a beautiful deep cream with an apricot streak down her back.  One of the photos makes her look a darker caramel than she really is.  She also has eye stains.  We're going to work on getting those better managed.  It may take simply a face cleaning each day or it may take some diet tweaks.  

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.
