Miniature Poodle puppies and dogs in North 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   Date into Rescue:  10/3/25 Reason for being in rescue:  Stray in NC via the shelter system Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Dewey is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Dewey was found as a stray so we have absolutely no history on him. Our best guess is that he is a poodle mix - only a DNA test will tell. We cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic or that he won't shed. Weight: 23 lbs Height: 14 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $499 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Dewey’s the kind of dog who can make you laugh without even trying with his silly expressions, bouncy energy, and never-ending enthusiasm for life. We have no doubt he’d love a home with kids to run around and play with  - the more chaos, the better! Dewey is intensely active and MUST have another active dog in the home. He NEEDS a playmate and THRIVES when he has one.  What Dewey really wants is life, adventure and fun! He's not suited for living with shared walls (apartments, townhomes, etc.) as he talks to you when you leave the room and will sing when he's alone. He's more of a go-everywhere-with-you sort of companion. He wants to go, go, go! In the backyard, inside, at the park, at the beach. Anywhere! Dewey MUST have an active family. What is my personality like? Meet Dewey - the Zoomie King! The Playtime Extraordinaire! It is GO! GO! GO! If life had a fast-forward button, Dewey would be holding it down! This goofy, lovable poodle mix seems to have one speed - top speed - and he’s always ready for his next grand adventure. Whether it’s chasing a ball, zipping around the yard, or running joyful laps for absolutely no reason, Dewey is all about go, go, go! Dewey LOVES his doggy friends - seriously, they’re his favorite thing in the world (right after snacks and zoomies). He loves people, too - the more, the merrier! Dewey is up for anything active - long hikes, dog park adventures, spontaneous sprints through the yard - you name it, he’s in. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes and brings a burst of joy wherever he goes. If you’re looking for a four-legged comedian, exercise partner, and all-around fun factory, Dewey’s your guy. Just make sure you can keep up - because slowing down isn’t really his thing! How do I act when I first meet new people? Dewey will bound into the room ready to play. Seriously - this boy has never met a stranger! Dewey is full of life and speed!  Other tips and tidbits: Dewey was found as a stray. We have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition he's estimated around 1 year old. We celebrate his birthday 09/23/24. 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. February 2, 2026, 8:52 am

Meet Soot — a 3 year old, 10 lb mini poodle mix with a gentle heart, a loyal spirit, and a deep love for being close to his person. Quick Facts: Name: Soot Breed: Mini Poodle Mix Age: 3 years old Weight: 10 lbs. House-Trained: Almost there (sometimes still marks) Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes, but doesn’t show much interest in them Good with Cats: Not yet tested Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Low (would love to be a lap pet) Fence Required: No About Soot’s Breed: Our best guess is that Soot is a miniature Poodle mixed breed. Miniature Poodles are known for their intelligence, sensitivity, and affectionate nature, making them one of the most adaptable companion breeds. They’re quick learners with a playful spirit, and they thrive on mental engagement just as much as physical activity. Their loyal, people oriented temperament means they bond closely with their families and enjoy being part of daily routines. An ideal home for a Miniature Poodle is one that offers structure, companionship, and regular enrichment. They do best with families who can provide consistent interaction, gentle guidance, and opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. Because they’re so people focused, they flourish in homes where they aren’t left alone for long stretches and where their bright, loving personalities can shine. What to Love about Soot: If you’re looking for a devoted lap companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Soot is your guy! He’ll happily curl up in your lap, follow you from room to room, and snooze either in your bed or in his cozy crate right beside you. Soot is crate trained and finds comfort in having his own safe space, especially when you’re not home. He prefers to eat in his crate without interruptions and will need an adopter who understands that he should be fed separately. He’s mostly potty trained and is making great progress with marking as he settles into his foster home. This sweet boy is more of a loner with other dogs and doesn’t interact much with them, though he’s been good with the dogs he’s met. He can be a bit alpha around food, so a home where he can be the center of attention — or one with calm, respectful dogs — would suit him well. He has a soft spot for kids and enjoys their company, especially when they’re gentle and kind! Soot doesn’t care much for toys or rough housing; his joy comes from being with his person. He’s wonderful on a leash, loves his neighborhood walks, and is an excellent car buddy — he’d happily ride on your lap all day if he could! He warms up to new people with slower introductions, but once you’re in his circle, he’s all love. Soot’s Highlights: • 3 year old, 10 lb mini poodle mix who is a true lap lover and constant companion • Crate trained and finds comfort in his crate, especially when eating or when you’re away • Mostly potty trained and making progress with marking as he settles in • Loves kids and enjoys gentle affection; prefers slower introductions with new adults • Great on a leash and loves neighborhood walks • Excellent travel buddy — rides calmly in the car and loves sitting in your lap • More of a loner with other dogs; can be alpha around food and should be fed separately • Doesn’t really play much — happiest simply being with his person and following them everywhere Soot is the perfect match for someone home often who wants a loyal, affectionate shadow and a snuggly travel companion. He’s ready to be someone’s little best friend! 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/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application. As part of our commitment to responsible adoption practices, we require excellent veterinarian references and conduct virtual home visits. Additionally, your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We assist with coordinating transportation by both land and air whenever feasible. All assessments regarding breed and age are conducted by licensed veterinarians. We look forward to assisting you in finding your perfect canine companion!January 28, 2026, 4:43 pm

Whitley was born around 6/2/25 and is an Aussiedoodle.  She currently weighs 17 pounds and will get bigger.  She is enjoying the other dogs in her foster home.  She is working on house training and figuring out the ropes.  She is on the more shy side and really needs to have a doggie friend to help her with her confidence. Whitley will also need regular grooming.  Kim, at Fetch Dog Spa, groomed her recently to get her all ready for her forever home! A fenced yard is also ideal since she is not quite leash trained yet.Whitley is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and started on monthly flea/heartworm prevention.  Her adoption fee is $600 and you can apply to adopt at mpravl.org All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption.

Sparky is an absolute sweetheart. At first she’s a little timid but it doesn’t take her long to warm up. She loves her dog bed but loves to cuddle or jump on your lap even more. She loves belly rubs. She’s crate and potty trained. She gives sweet kisses.  She’s content to sleep but she can also be pretty playful! She wags a lot because she’s a happy girl. She doesn’t shed. We figured out why her name might be Sparky because she produces a lot of static!Sparky has been pretty indifferent around other dogs and cats. She doesn’t really engage but doesn’t mind them.Sparky is about 11 years old and her adoption fee is $250.  She is microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, spayed and current on heartworm and flea prevention. All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption.

(DOB 06/30/2016) Chewy has the cutest playtime habits, and he will grab his toys and run outside and toss them for himself, and he will do the most adorable happy spins when he's excited. Chewy would love some children in his home (6+ yrs) that want several daily doses of doggie playtime. Chewy is also in need of a fenced yard (4ft+ solid panel/small gaps), so he can run, rump and retrieve. He loves fetch, too. Oh, and, Chewy loves playing with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a doggie friend that can match his energy and playful spirit. He play-nips (never bites!) and is very gentle, even with his much older Shih Tzu foster sibling. How darling is that? More great things about Chewy - his little size packs a big heart and an even bigger personality! He's a total sweetheart who absolutely loves cuddles and belly rubs. Whether he's curled up beside you on the couch or snuggled in your lap, Chewy is happiest when he’s close to his humans. He’ll gladly sleep on the sofa or in bed with you, and he would much rather be with you than crated (especially when he knows you’re home).  Chewy is, also, super smart and eager to please. He knows phrases like “Want to go outside?”, and recognizes it’s time for a car ride when you grab his leash—he rides great in the backseat, too!  Chewy does not love the sound of thunder and will need you to be patient and understanding. He is house and crate trained and is working on walking nicely on a leash. He’s never chewed on anything that isn’t his, and he hasn’t destroyed a thing while in foster care. When introducing Chewy to new people, give him some time and let him be slowly introduced without a lot of rushy-rushy. Keep it cool, calm, and slow...that's the way to go.  Chewy is a lovable, silly, loyal companion who would make a wonderful addition to a family ready for fun, play, and lots of snuggles. Come meet this special boy—you’re sure to fall in love! As part of Chewy’s $300 adoption fee, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this handsome pup, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Chewy, you can complete an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org ##2457783##
