My name is Hulk Nov 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? Hulk loves people. He loves other dogs. And most of all, he loves life itself. New places, new friends, new experiences - he wants it all! He’s an energetic, playful boy who’s happy to romp around all day, but he also knows how to settle down and enjoy long cuddle sessions curled up in your lap. If you’re doing it, Hulk wants to be right there with you. Hulk does have a voice and is isn't afraid to use it. Given this, he is not well suited for apartment life or life with shared walls.

We think Hulk would do great with kids and would happily join in on family outings, adventures, and everyday activities. He truly wants to be part of everything and included in whatever his people are doing. Hulk would do well as an only dog, but it’s important that he continues to have interaction and playtime with other dogs - he absolutely adores their company and thrives on social connection.

What is my personality like? Are you looking for a young dog - but not a puppy - to add some fun and love to your family - Meet Hulk! He’s a one-year-old Maltese–Yorkie mix with a larger-than-life personality and a heart full of joy. Hulk is ready to go anywhere and everywhere with you - he’s all in for whatever life brings.

Because he’s still young, Hulk will need continued basic training, structure, and guidance as he grows into a well-mannered, well-rounded adult dog. Right now, he’s simply young, fun, and full of enthusiasm.

If you’re looking for a cheerful, affectionate, and adventure-ready companion, Hulk may be the perfect match for your family.

How do I act when I first meet new people? Hulk is happy, happy, happy!

Other tips and tidbits: Hulk is estimated at 1 year old. We have no paperwork on his life before being surrendered to the shelter. We celebrate his birthday 11/19/2024.

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.
