Tiny Tim is a 1.5 year old, 7.5 lb Miniature Poodle mix with a heart full of love, a goofy little personality, and a deep desire to never be left behind again! Quick Facts: Name: Tiny Tim Breed: Miniature Poodle Mix Age: 1.5 years old Weight: 7.5 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes, but doesn’t love being in the crate Good with Dogs: Yes (would love to have a playmate in his home) Good with Cats: Not tested Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: High Fence Required: No Dog's Location: Charlotte, NC Medical Notes: Tiny Tim came to the rescue emaciated (body score: 1/9). He is appropriately gaining weight. He has some eye issues: Bilateral corneal opacities noted. Large sections of dorsal cornea OU, smaller section of lateral cornea OS. Corneal scarring OU: Resolved corneal ulcers. Current opacities appear to be stable scar tissue and are not causing any apparent visual deficits or discomfort. Seborrhea: The excessive scaling of the skin is likely secondary to his previous poor condition and should improved with continued nutritional support. Right stifle lameness: Suspicion for a previous cruciate ligament injury remains. He appears comfortable today. About Tiny Tim’s Breed: Our best guess is that Tiny Tim is a miniature Poodle. Miniature Poodles are known for their bright intelligence, affectionate nature, and people oriented temperament. They’re small but sturdy companions who love being close to their humans, often forming deep bonds and thriving in homes where they can enjoy plenty of attention, structure, and gentle affection. Many Miniature Poodles have a playful streak even into their senior years, paired with a calm, cuddly side that makes them wonderful lap dogs. Their ideal home is one that offers companionship, consistency, and softness. Miniature Poodles do beautifully with adopters who enjoy having a devoted little shadow, can provide a predictable routine, and appreciate a dog who wants to be part of daily life. They typically thrive with gentle kids, friendly small dogs, and even cats, making them a great fit for first time dog owners or quieter households. A home that values closeness and comfort is exactly where a Miniature Poodle shines! What to Love about Tiny Tim: Before coming into rescue, Tiny Tim was abandoned — and because of that, he struggles with separation anxiety and becomes very attached to his people. In his foster home, he’s healing beautifully: gaining weight, building muscle, regrowing his coat, and learning that he is safe, wanted, and adored. He’s a sweet, gentle boy with zero aggression, a charmingly silly streak, and the classic poodle devotion that makes him stick to his foster mom like glue! Despite his past, Tiny Tim is an active, playful little guy who is blossoming into a resilient little man! He loves to run, play, and explore, and would thrive in a home with a younger dog playmate or a fenced yard where he can zoom around! He hasn’t tried neighborhood walks yet while recovering, but he uses a leash well in the yard and will likely enjoy outdoor adventures once he feels fully confident. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and extremely food motivated — understandable given how skinny he was when rescued. He likes other playful dogs and would love a doggie sibling with matching energy in his forever home! He is good with kids and he's likely the kind of dog who would do wonderfully with other pets after a proper meet and greet. Tiny Tim’s ideal home is one where someone is home often — retirees, work from home adopters, or families with kids who want a constant companion. He hates being alone and will cry in his crate if his people leave, so he needs adopters who understand separation anxiety and can help him continue to heal. He wants to cuddle, sleep on the bed, follow his humans everywhere, and be included in daily life. He’s a slow learner but tries hard, and with patience, consistency, and love, he will blossom into the devoted, joyful companion he’s meant to be. Tiny Tim is goofy, charming, affectionate, and incredibly loving. He’s ready for a family who will cherish him, keep him close, and make sure he never feels abandoned again!

Sasha is a 5 year old, 12 lb Miniature Poodle who embodies the true meaning of a “velcro dog”!   Quick Facts: Name: Sasha Breed: Miniature Poodle  Age: 5 years old Weight: 12 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Not tested (likely fine!) Energy Level: Medium Fence Required: No Dog's Location: Chapel Hill, NC   About Sasha’s Breed: Our best guess is that Sasha is a miniature Poodle. Miniature Poodles are known for their bright intelligence, affectionate nature, and people oriented temperament. They’re small but sturdy companions who love being close to their humans, often forming deep bonds and thriving in homes where they can enjoy plenty of attention, structure, and gentle affection. Many Miniature Poodles have a playful streak even into their senior years, paired with a calm, cuddly side that makes them wonderful lap dogs.   Their ideal home is one that offers companionship, consistency, and softness. Miniature Poodles do beautifully with adopters who enjoy having a devoted little shadow, can provide a predictable routine, and appreciate a dog who wants to be part of daily life. They typically thrive with gentle kids, friendly small dogs, and even cats, making them a great fit for first time dog owners or quieter households. A home that values closeness and comfort is exactly where a Miniature Poodle shines!   What to Love about Sasha: This sweet girl wants to be by your side every moment of the day — in your lap, in your arms, or even tucked into a baby carrier so she can stay close while you move around. Sasha came from a rough situation and was timid when she first arrived in rescue, but with patience and gentle love, she has blossomed into a deeply devoted little companion who follows her foster mom everywhere. She absolutely loves being held, carried, and doted on, and she would make the perfect traveling princess for someone who wants a constant, cuddly sidekick.   Sasha has wonderful house manners: she’s potty trained, crate trained, and not destructive at all. While she doesn’t need to be crated when left alone, she does experience separation anxiety and will pace when her person leaves — she simply wants to be included in everything and hates feeling left behind. A calm, loving home where someone is around most of the time (or happy to take her along on errands) would make her happiest.   She’s great with other dogs, though she may guard her chosen person because she wants all the love for herself. She ignores cats and hasn’t met kids yet, but her affectionate nature suggests she’d likely do well with gentle, respectful children. Sasha enjoys short walks and is improving on the leash, though she may need a little time to settle in and feel safe in a new environment. She occasionally barks when someone comes to the door, but otherwise she’s a quiet, easy companion.   Sasha is ready for a forever family who will treat her like the cherished little baby she believes she is — a home full of cuddles, calm energy, gentle reassurance, and endless love. She can’t wait to find her person and stay by their side for the rest of her life!   Sasha’s Superb Highlights: • 5 year old, 12 lb Miniature Poodle with a deeply devoted, cling to your side personality • True “velcro dog” who wants to be in your lap, in your arms, or carried everywhere • Blossomed beautifully in foster care after arriving timid and unsure • Baby carrier snuggle queen who loves riding in kangaroo carriers or pet bags • Potty trained and crate trained with excellent house manners and no destructive habits • Experiences separation anxiety and hopes for a home where her person is around often • Great with dogs but may guard her chosen human because she wants all the love • Ignores cats and likely kid friendly with gentle, loving children • Improving on leash skills and enjoys calm, short walks • Perfect for a quiet, loving home where she can be held, cuddled, and adored all day   Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.
