She’s calm, shy at first, and deeply sweet once she trusts you. Sadie is bonded to Peanut and feels safest when they’re together, though she could also thrive as an only dog in a peaceful home. Must have: Peanut (non-negotiable), A calm, quiet home; someone patient; a fenced yard; Exercise: Low — short, easy strolls and time in a safe yard. Best with: Adults or older kids; calm dogs; a home that appreciates gentle, quiet companionship. Not ideal for: Busy households, loud environments, or homes with active/rough dogs. Energy level: Low — mellow, relaxed, and content with simple routines. Sadie is house trained, quiet, and easy to live with. She’s shy with men at first and needs time to warm up, but she’s incredibly gentle. She has chronic spondylitis (T13–L3) managed with daily Carprofen and a small benign cyst on her triceps. She’s healthy for her age and has a soft, steady presence that brings peace to any home. Good with dogs: Yes — prefers calm, gentle dogs; bonded with Peanut. Good with kids: Unknown — likely best with older, respectful children. Cats: Unknown. Fun fact: Sadie’s favorite thing in the world is simply being near Peanut — they’ve been each other’s comfort for years.

If you want to skip straight to the application: www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application/ Here’s Your Quick Peek: Rose is a shy, sensitive Golden Retriever who came to CPR as a breeder release.

Story
Turbo is a truly special 9-year-old boy with a gentle heart and a calm, steady presence that makes him stand out in the best way. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much—just a soft place to rest, a ball to enjoy now and then, and someone to share his quiet moments with. As a gentle giant, Turbo brings a peaceful energy wherever he goes. He’s one of the calmest dogs at the shelter and would thrive in a relaxed home where he can simply be by your side. He gets along with other dogs, especially those who share his easygoing nature, but he would be happiest in a home without small children or small pets so he can fully enjoy his laid-back lifestyle.Turbo is a creature of habit and finds comfort in routine. Once he settles in, he becomes an easy, steady companion—loyal, loving, and always there. He may be in his senior years, but he still has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone to give him the chance.If you’re looking for a calm, devoted friend who will fill your home with quiet love and companionship, Turbo could be the perfect match for you.
