Story
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: 04/22/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Duck was found as a stray and landed at a NC shelter. CPR pulled him from the shelter. Foster location: Foster Home in Rocky Mount, NC Special Needs? Duck is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Because we no origin for Duck, we cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic or that he won't shed. We suspect he is a poodle mix of some sort. Weight: 22 lbs Height: 16 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No, but he would love one What kind of home would be best for me? Duck is a young, happy, active boy looking for an active home. Like most young poodles, he is full of energy and mischief and pure joy. Duck's ideal forever home meets some specific criteria. First, you must lead an active lifestyle. Duck is no couch potato - he's a young dog who needs lots of physical and mental stimulation. Second, you must let your dogs sleep in the bed. This is non-negotiable. And finally, you must have a plan for training. Duck is a young boy who needs mental and physical stimulation daily. Duck could work in an apartment or a single family home. He'd love a fenced yard, but this isn't a requirement if you have a plan for LOTS of daily exercise and socialization with other dogs. Duck enjoys the company of other dogs, but could be your one and only if you have a plan for regular play and socialization (3-4 times per week with other young, active dogs). What is my personality like? A dog named Duck - how could we resist! With a name this silly for a canine, what more could you expect than a funny, full of energy, toy-loving bundle of energy! Duck's foster mom describes him as a silly boy who is full of personality. Like a toddler learning to explore the world, Duck is full of wonder and never ceases to bring a smile to your face. Duck loves other dogs and plays happily with the other small dogs in his foster home. He loves squeaky toys, proudly carrying them around (and not destroying them as some of his foster siblings have been known to do). He is always happy to go for a car ride, smiling happily from the back seat (he'd sit up front if you let him). Duck is a living testament that your past doesn't define your future. How do I act when I first meet new people? Duck is a happy-go-lucky boy who enjoys meeting new faces and making new friends. Other tips and tidbits: Duck was found as a stray so we have absolutely no history on him. The shelter estimated him at 1 year old, celebrating his birthday 04/22/2024. We suspect Duck may be slightly younger. 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. Thank you for considering CPR. May 5, 2025, 11:05 am
