Poodle (Miniature) puppies and dogs in North Carolina

Lavender Joy is a smart energetic little girl! We simply call her "Joy." She's almost 1.5 years old and 10 lbs. We adopted her last year when we were a family of 3. Now we are a family of 5! We love her dearly, but unfortunately, with our changing circumstances, we are unable to give Joy the attention she deserves. She loves to run and play with her big (human) brother, especially out in the yard. She also likes to chill indoors while lying at your feet (she will give them a few tickly love licks). At times, Joy gets playfully excited and chatty; therefore, a home with elderly individuals or small children would not be a good fit. Joy likes to be the center of attention and will walk on her hind legs just to show off. She is healthy, spayed, housetrained, and puppy-pad trained. We are looking for a good home that can keep her physically and mentally stimulated, so she can continue to be a happy girl! (Pics show her different fur styles. The short style pic is from Nov. 2023.)

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   Date into Rescue: 10/10/2023 Reason for being in rescue: owner release Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Buddy is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Buddy is not hypoallergenic and does shed. Weight: 18 lbs Height: 14 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No, but he would love one. Buddy has always lived in a home with a physically fenced yard and is accustomed to having the freedom to run zoomies and play in a fenced yard. If you do not have a physically fenced yard, you must have a very active lifestyle and be committed to lots of physical exercise every day.  What kind of home would be best for me? Brody is a young, highly active dog looking for a home that can match his energy. A mixture of poodle and australian shepherd, Buddy is smart, trainable, and needs lots of physical and mental activity every day. Buddy requires a home with another active dog. He is not good with large dogs (they make him nervous), so we are looking for a home with another dog that is no bigger than 35 lbs. Buddy requires an active home that has a hiking, running, etc. lifestyle. He is good with kids over 8. What is my personality like? Buddy and his "brother" Brody were the loving companions of a human facing very difficult health challenges. Brody and Buddy are biological siblings from successive litters. Buddy has been well loved and well cared for prior to arriving in rescue. Buddy has two speeds - wide open and asleep. As a young dog that is a mixture of 2 very active breeds (poodle and australian shepherd), he needs LOTS of physical and mental activity every day. Buddy loves other dogs and loves to play. He plays hard and fast. Given this, Buddy is not well suited for a home with senior or quiet dogs. Buddy is highly active and well suited for agility or other active training. He has always lived with another dog and requires this in a new home. Buddy is crate trained and accustomed to sleeping in a crate at night. In his previous home he was house trained. Buddy thinks he’s the size of a mastiff and bosses other dogs around. He is also the more vocal of the two. He likes to round up all the treat toys or chew toys and hoard them. He is a licker. He loves to play tag with his brother and they often try to see who is faster. They run until they collapse, nap for 5-10 minutes then start again. He wants all the affection and cuddles and will growl at other dogs that get too close to his humans while he is cuddling. He also wants to dominate the food bowl no matter. He needs to eat in a separate space, away from other dogs.  Buddy has SO MUCH love to share and eager to share it with his forever family. How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly Other tips and tidbits: Buddy was 18 months old when surrendered to rescue. We celebrate his birthday 3/14/2022. 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.

Ainsley is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Weight: 22.5 lbs Height: 14 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? Yes or a firm plan in place to have Off leash play time. What kind of home would be best for me? Ainsley is ready to be the apple of your eye. She would like a home where she can be the main girl or a confident companion to someone who wants a dog to follow. Ainsley has discovered that couches and beds are super comfy. Sleeping in the bed at night is one thing she requests.  Ainsley’s mostly gentle personality would do well in a variety of homes.  She would not care if it was a single-family home or an apartment if the apartment had a dog park. Ainsley would love nothing more than a work-from-home family where she can lie by your desk all day. However, if you work outside the home, we think she would be fine, especially if she had a canine companion. Ainsley is looking for an adult-only home. She tried living with younger children and it was not for her - it was too much energy for a dog still learning how to dog.  What is my personality like? Sweet with a fun side that's happy to see the world! Ainsley is always waiting at the gate, hoping someone will come to spend time with her. Ainsley loves people and wants to have one all to herself.  Ainsley is very curious about the world. She recently had a trip to the big city and enjoyed walking the USC campus. She did not pull on the leash but had a hard time with straight lines. She can quickly become distracted by blowing leaves and people walking by. She met several strangers with enthusiasm and tail wags. Ainsley would do well as a socialite and weekend brunch.  How do I act when I first meet new people? Ainsley picks people she wants to know deeply very quickly. If you aren't that person, then she's happy to give you a sniff and allow for pets but she is going back to her person ASAP. Please take this girl with you everywhere, she is bright and loves life. Other tips and tidbits: We don’t have an actual birthday for Ainsley so we have given her a birthday of 5/1/21.  For the first 90 days, we recommend using a crate for house training and indoor barrier fence around front doors. Ainsley does not understand the human world. She only knows the country life and thinks she can run freely out any door.  House trained? Ainsley recently stayed in a home with no accidents. 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.

Reagan is up to date on vaccines for her age. Due to age, she is not spayed. She will be adopted on a spay/neuter contract which requires you to spay her at your expense within 12 months. Reagan is a very young puppy that is not house-trained or crate-trained. She will need patience and proper training to accomplish both.  Weight: 7 lbs and growing. We estimated Reagan will be 38 to 40 lbs when full grown. We were told that Reagan is a mini bernedoodle but have no way to confirm this. Height: 18 in at the shoulder is our best guest when full grown Spayed/Neutered: No Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed? No, but she would love one What kind of home would be best for me? Reagan requires a home with another active dog for socialization and play. We will not place Reagan in a home with senior dogs. The companion dog MUST be 8 years old or younger. A person scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and can provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day and night is a must. She is a baby and needs play breaks as well as frequent and consistent potty times to aid in potty training. Reagan will not be adopted to a home with children under 5. What is my personality like? Reagan is happy, bouncy and oh so fun. Like any young puppy she is equal parts full of energy and needy, and snuggle up to crash after hard play. When she is awake, she is on the go. Reagan is good with dogs and people of all sizes. She has a heart that is ten times the size of her small body. PUPPY POLICY: Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family. Puppies can be a joyous experience, but they can also be a tremendous amount of work. Since our goal is to place each of our dogs in forever homes, we are especially cautious with puppies. We like to stress 3 major things when considering a puppy vs. an adult dog: 1) many adult dogs are well bred, well trained dogs who find themselves in rescue through no fault of their own, 2) adult dogs are eager to share their love and bond with their new family, and 3) puppies will always require far more time, energy, and training than an adult dog. Our ideal puppy adopters are: -experienced dog owners with a solid record of excellent vet care of their previous pets -scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and have another canine companion already in the home -stay at home type of people (work at home, home schoolers, retired, etc) How do I act when I first meet new people? Reagan is the happiest puppy girl you will ever meet. She loves everyone and thinks everyone is her best friend. Other tips and tidbits: We were told that Reagan is 4 months old and celebrate her birthday 7/5/2023 based on this information. We do not have any paperwork confirming her date of birth or her breed.

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.

Boomer is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Weight: 13 lbs Height: 16 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? Yes.  Boomer has never lived without a fence.  He needs this to feel secure.  We consider him a flight risk.  A yard will keep him safe as he learns to be more confident on leash and learns how to be a pet. What kind of home would be best for me? Boomer needs an experienced owner, one who knows exactly what he needs and how to give it to him. Children under 18 would not work for Boomse as lots and lots of energy can make him nervous and very very shy and anxious. He is good with other dogs, and requires another younger dog in the home who is confident and can help teach him what confidence is and how to build it. Boomer simply wants a home that can help teach him how to be a true dog and help him learn what life is.  What is my personality like? Easygoing, Boomer likes to keep events low-key and not get too crazy. Boomer can become skittish with loud noises and sudden movements. Boomer was untouchable few weeks with us when he first arrived from OH. In that time, we have seen him calm down to show us enough of himself to see a calm demeanor and potential.  How do I act when I first meet new people? Boomer has started showing us his sweet demeanor. Our best description of him as a human would be the happy little boy who is part of the gang. He's not the gang leader and he's not a total follower, he's just right by his best mate's side. Boomer needs to have a steady home life with a predictable routine. He likes to know what's going to happen and when it's going to happen. He keeps tabs on our staff by bouncing high in his run to see what is happening. He's a good little boy who wants to make someone the happiest person in the world.  Boomer is timid and shy, but curious. He prefers a slow welcome and will quickly follow your movements when you're not watching him. Other tips and tidbits: Boomer's birthday is 10/26/2021 Boomer was placed once but was only with his new owner for a few days.  A visitor came to the door and opened it.  Not thinking, his new owner reached down and grabbed Boomer from behind to keep him from bolting.  Scared out of his mind by the sudden and unexpected hands on him, Boomer turned and snapped, connecting with his new owners hand and arm.  With a lot of tears, she returned him as she could not overcome her fear after the incident.  He’s not ever offered to snap or bite in any way.  We also don’t grab him unexpectedly from behind.   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.
