Maltese puppies and dogs in Mauldin, South Carolina

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   returned by adopters NOT IN VPDate into Rescue: Dino originally arrived in rescue in early 2019. He was quickly adopted, but returned in March 2024 when his owner moved abroad. Reason for being in rescue: Dino was surrendered to a local shelter when his family moved and couldn't take him. CPR pulled him from the local shelter. He was adopted quickly but returned to rescue in 2024 when his owners moved out of the country and couldn't take him. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Dino is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Weight: 12 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $329 Fence needed? No, Dino is an inside only dog. What kind of home would be best for me? Dino is a 10-year-old little guy who would be great for an adopter that is looking to have an only dog. Dino's picture should be next to the definition of lap dog in the dictionary. He is used to being in a home, his previous owner moved out of the country and couldn't take him. Dino needs to be an only dog in a quiet home with no children. He bonds quickly to his people and doesn't share them. Dino is very protective of his house and family. He does not tolerate children or other dogs in his home. If you have children visitin, be prepared to put Dino into a crate or safe place away from them. He does not like to be left home alone and suffers from separation anxiety. Dino is looking for a loving, caring, and patient adopter will a lap he can snooze in as he enters his Golden Years. What is my personality like? Dino is a little guy with a big personality! He can be a bit timid when he first meets you, but that changes the moment he gets to know you. Dino gets along well with other dogs if they aren't sharing his home with him. He simply doesn't like to share and that is okay. Dino is smart and when bored he may act out and find things to keep him occupied. Dino is small enough that you can take him with you on most of your outings. He LOVES car rides! Dino needs a moderate amount of exercise; he loves walks so a walk or two a day would be great. Dino is leash and crate trained. He did very well with house training in his previous home and would go to the door and whine when he needed to potty. At his previous home he knew sit, stay and no. Dino could use some refresher training with his basic commands. He loves treats so they, along with loving praise, will quickly help him learn commands.  How do I act when I first meet new people? Dino is a little shy but warms up quickly. He loves the companionship of people and is the best snuggle buddy be it in your lap or in your bed.  Other tips and tidbits: Dino was born on or about 2/26/14. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if 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. May 4, 2024, 2:02 pm
