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

Date into Rescue: 05/17/2025
Reason for being in rescue: Oscar was found as a stray and landed at a shelter. CPR pulled him from the shelter.
Foster location: Foster Home in Rocky Mount, NC
Special Needs? Oscar is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 06/23/25 Oscar had a dental polishing.
Weight: 19 lbs - Oscar is overweight. He needs to lose 3-5 pounds.
Height: 14 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Adoption Fee: $99

Fence needed? No, though he'd love one

What kind of home would be best for me? Oscar is a pretty easy dog. He's well adjusted in his foster home and gets along with creatures big and small. Oscar would be happy as your only pet, or living with other pets. You can work outside the home and offer him a mid-day break, or be home during the day. You can live in a single-family home or a townhome/apartment. Oscar's one requirement is cuddling in the bed at night. He sleeps pressed against his foster mom and thinks this is the best way to snuggle.

What is my personality like? Meet Oscar, the Chihuahua mix with the world’s biggest smile and the happiest little heart! Found wandering the streets without a care in the world, Oscar greeted everyone he met with that signature grin. This sweet boy is the definition of go-with-the-flow — easygoing, gentle, and ready to roll with whatever the day brings.

Oscar loves people, enjoys the company of other dogs, and is a total champ in the car. Whether you’re running errands, taking a road trip, or relaxing on the couch, he’s just thrilled to be by your side.

Oscar is a simple soul with one big wish - a person of his very own.

How do I act when I first meet new people? Oscar meets new people with ease. He's a low-key sort of boy that thinks new faces are new friends.

Other tips and tidbits: Oscar was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 10 years old. We celebrate his birthday 05/17/2015.

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.
