Story
Meet Otis, a sweet 10 year old boy who is proof that a little love can go a long way! Otis was found as a stray, very matted and in need of some TLC. After a fresh haircut and lots of love, this handsome boy has blossomed into the happiest little guy! Otis is the definition of laid-back. His ideal day consists of sleeping away about 90% of it, preferably snuggled up with his favorite people. But if you happen to be busy and forget to give him attention, don’t worry — he’ll happily wander over and politely smack you with his paws until you get the hint that it’s time for pets!  Otis is blind, but he adapts well and learns his way around. He just needs a little patience while he gets settled into a new space. He’s also house-trained and gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats! And if his people aren’t available for a cuddle session, Otis is more than happy to find a furry friend to curl up beside for a cozy nap.

Story
Colby is a good boy. Will be 10 years in January. Have had him since a puppy and he loves to play and being close to his person. I’m going through some life transitions and just want him to have the love and attention he needs that I don’t have the capacity for at this time. Great with kids, playful, has allergies that he gets shots for. No other health or behavioral concerns.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Cupcake is a sweet and spirited little girl who was surrendered to the shelter for euthanasia after she contracted parvo after being purchased from a breeder.  Pawfect Match agreed to take her in and treat her.  She spent several days in the hospital receiving treatment and then was released.  Cupcake really needs other dogs to play with because she is still very much a puppy at heart.  She wrestles with her foster siblings and loves to be cuddled.  She loves everyone and everything.  Please read this biography and notice SHE HAS TO HAVE A DOG companion.   Cupcake is as sweet as her name.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2026, 9:52 am

Story
Looking for your next furry BFF?   We don’t have perfect dogs — but we do have dogs who are perfect for the right someone. Our goal is to match each dog with the home that fits them best and each home with the dog that will sing to your heart. Ready to adopt? Complete an application at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application   Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet, SC Weight: 5.5 lbs Height: 9 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes, Snickers is neutered. Adoption Fee: $499 Fence needed? No Want To Know More About Me? Text SNICKERS to 864-441-9075 for an application. Or skip the text and go here www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application Here's Your Quick Peek: Snickers is a little toy poodle with a playful spirit and a gentle heart who is just beginning to learn what life as a beloved pet can be. Raised in a breeding facility, he missed out on the everyday experiences most dogs take for granted, so human touch and affection can still feel scary and unfamiliar to him. When nervous, Snickers will skitter away and try to create distance - he simply needs patience, understanding, and time to feel safe. Please note - if you want to skip the text and go straight to the application, you can find the link here: www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application/ Must have: A home with another dog and an experienced rescuer. Exercise: Medium. Snickers is a young dog. He does have knees that may require surgery as he ages. Appropriate weight maintenance is going to be important. He's also not built to run marathons with you. Best with: A calm, consistent, patient home that will offer him time and space to blossom into a confident dog. Not ideal for: First time dog owners, homes with young children, or homes looking for a dog that is going to snuggle immediately. Energy level: Medium What Snickers does know is how to be a dog with other dogs! He absolutely must have a confident canine companion in his forever home to help show him the ropes and give him comfort. Around other dogs, his silly, playful side starts to shine through, and you’ll see glimpses of the happy little pup he is becoming. Good with dogs: Definitely - he needs them Good with kids: Snickers has never lived with kids. Maybe if your kids are older and patient and will give him space. Cats: Snickers has never lived with cats. If you have them, let us know and we can test him. Fun fact: As timid as Snickers is about human touch, he is playful with canine companions. Potential Adopters   Dogs can’t drive - and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them.
