My name is Delilah Oct 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

Date into Rescue: 10/15/2025
Reason for being in rescue: Found as a stray
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Delilah is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 12/4/25 she had a major dental and lost all but 3 teeth. She will need a soft food diet for life - in true princess fashion! Delilah has a grade 2/6 hart murmur. She is not currently on any medicine for this (not recommended by our veterinarian). Our veterinarian also noted bilateral luxating patellas for which surgery is not recommended - our princess prefers to be carried anyway! Delilah was found as a stray. We have no history on her background. Our best guess is that she is a toy poodle mix. We will not guarantee that she is hypoallergenic or that she won't shed.
Weight: 5 lbs
Height: 12 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Adoption Fee: $425

Fence needed? No

What kind of home would be best for me? Delilah is a lot of cute packed into a tiny body. We don't know anything about her past but know she prefers calm to chaos. Delilah gets along well with calm, older dogs and enjoys their quiet companionship. She is not a fan of energetic puppies and does not want to be a playmate, so she would do best with dogs who match her mellow energy - or as the only dog in the home where she can be the center of your world.

What is my personality like? Delilah is a tiny 5-pound fluffball overflowing with love. This little princess is looking for a quiet, calm environment where she can snooze in warm blankets and spend her days curled up in your lap. She may be small, but she has a gentle adventurous streak and loves nothing more than following her person from room to room. Wherever you go, she wants to be close behind.

Delilah enjoys spending time outdoors, especially if it means exploring right at your side. She will need patience and consistency as she learns the rhythms and expectations of her new home. She appears to be pee-pad trained, but like any dog entering a new environment, she’ll need time to fully understand your schedule and routine.

Because Delilah has spent much of her life being carried, she is still adjusting to wearing a collar and walking on a leash. A patient adopter who can gently introduce her to these new experiences will help her continue to build confidence.

If you’re looking for a dainty, loving, lap-devoted companion, Delilah will happily be your little shadow.

How do I act when I first meet new people? Delilah is a sweetheart who greets new people calmly.

Other tips and tidbits: Delilah was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on her. Based on her overall health and condition she is estimated at 9 years old. We celebrate her birthday 10/10/2016.

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.
