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:12/3/2024 - yes, he has been here a year Reason for being in rescue:  Breeder release. No reason given but most likely she had more males than needed Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? None medically - lots socially (see below) Weight: 21 lbs est Height: 14 in at the shoulder Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $499 Fence needed? Yes - without exception.  Simba is a fight risk especially for his first few months in a new home.  A physically fenced and secure fence is necessary while he learns to love you like he loves his foster mom now.  Once you've earned that trust, he will never leave your side.   What kind of home would be best for me? Simba's perfect home will be a single person, probably a single woman, who is looking for an active, strong and opinionated little boy who wants to hand her his heart and become her prince and her best friend.  Simba adores his foster mom and only slightly tolerates the rest of the humans in his life.  We think he will transfer that care and affection to the right person, but it's got to be just the right person.   Simba needs someone who understands dogs raised without proper socialization or exposure to the world.  Much is still new to Simba.  He needs patience and gentle guidance.  I do not believe Simba will ever be "normal" but he can be someone's companion, and he continues to become better in many ways than the dog we received last year.  I think, especially with a lot of one-on-one attention, he will continue to make progress.  It will not be easy but for the right person, it will be fun and satisfying.  If you enjoy changing and shaping dog behavior and watching positive changes in a dog due to your hard work and dedication, it will be an amazing process.  Simba is wicked smart.  He wants to learn.   Simba adores other dogs, especially large dogs.  His current besties are two standard poodles and a cavapoo.  They run, romp, dash about and in general have the very best time running the back trails here at the poodle farm.  He needs at least one other playful dog in his life, and preferably a large one.  If it is a smaller one, better be a sturdy one who can keep up with him. Simba is all athlete - strong, muscled and powerful.  He is dynamite (personality and physical strength) in a neat, compact body.   What is my personality like?  Simba is a quirky little guy with many facets to his personality.  To foster mom, he is a velcro dog, looking for her everywhere.  Wherever she is, Simba is.  To foster dad he's a pain in the neck with his constant barking and resource guarding the upstairs because upstairs is his safe spot.  To the caregivers, when foster mom brings him to her office, he is bipolar.  Some days he's all over them, happy as can be.  The next day, he is resource guarding against everyone in the place.   How do I act when I first meet new people?  If we are in foster mom's office, he will be relaxed on the opposite side of the gate from you. He will look at you curiously and if his foster siblings approach you for a treat, he may go with them. If you were to come into his foster home and he was upstairs, he would stand at the top and bark and bark and warn you off.  He does not want strangers in his safe space.   Other tips and tidbits: 1/23/2023 is Simba's exact birthdate.   If you've gotten this far down, good for you.  I am sure a lot of people stopped early on because we've tried to make it very, very obvious that Simba is beautiful, but he is a project and a handful.  Simba is also on our SOS sponsorship scroller because we understand that finding a home for him is going to be very, very difficult.  It's not fair to Simba not to try - so here we are. Simba was adopted once and returned.  The adopter owns his father, who is a far different personality than Simba, more laid back and gentle.  It lasted a few weeks but ultimately, we determined Simba needed an owner who had a gentley firm hand and what he was getting was spoiled and pampered. Simba was making the other dogs in the home, including dear old Dad, far too nervous to leave him there.  Simba is a LOT of dog.   House trained? He is getting constant reminders, but he was intact for a very long time.  It's going to be a tough haul to completely house train him.  He looks great in a belly band.  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.

Cindy is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 11/12/25 Cindy had oral surgery to remove 2 teeth. She also had a professional ear cleaning. Our veterinarian noted that Cindy has Grade 1 bilateral MPL. Surgery is not recommended at this time. If she needs orthopedic surgery in the future, this will be the responsibility of her new owner. Weight: 10 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $425 Fence needed? Not necessarily although she does not yet know the nuances of leash walking or even being an owned pet with the pleasure of long walks with her human companion.  If adopted to a non-fenced home, it will take some time and patience, but she will eventually learn the skill of pottying with a human attached and then happily heading down the street for a fun walk with her BFF human.  Cindy is an active, happy girl and when she is in the yard, she loveds to run.  First preference will be given to single family fenced in yard home but to the right person. we can discuss a non-fenced in home. What kind of home would be best for me?  Cindy is looking for a home preferably with one other small, laid-back dog to pal around with.  She could be with a work away from home person if she had the companionship of another dog but first preference will be given to those who work from home or can take their dog to work.       Please note - Cindy and Penny would still love to be adopted together although it's no longer a firm requirement.  The nice thing about a pair is, if you work all day, they have each other for company. They do not need someone home all the time. They are perfectly content playing poodley girl games while you are away and once your home, it'll be a lap sandwich with one on each side of you in the recliner.  They love people and want one of their own, but they have each other, too.  Penny gets along great with other dogs and would be lost without at least one companion dog.  She is always found snuggling with some of her foster siblings at night.   What is my personality like?  Cindy is a sweet, happy, complacent dog who I would describe as a follower, not a leader.  She is very happy to be in the middle of the group.  She does have a bit of a slight bum knee but it does not slow her down at all.  She can run and play with no issues at all.  Cindy does love an open door and she likes to saunter through it to see what is on the other side.   Cindy has been very good in the car - although we do have her ride in her crate for safety.  But no car sickness.   Speaking of crates, Penny sleeps happily in a medium sized crate with 2 to 4 of her other buddies with her at night.  She keeps it clean.  We can't guarantee house training, so our suggestion is a crate in your bedroom for the first 30 days, then transition to you bed if you want.  We think she would enjoy nighttime snuggles very much once she knows your routine. Cindy was trained to pee pads before we received her.  We use washable ones here and first thing in the am, if the door is not open fast enough, she is sprinting for the nearest pee pad to do business especially first thing.  I know some people do not like pee pads in the house but based on her actions here, we think she has used one for most of her life.  It means you have to be careful with having throw rugs because they look like pee pads to a dog.  To us, it's a blessing to have a dog trained to pads.   How do I act when I first meet new people?  Very friendly and if you're in a chair, you'll very soon have a snuggle of poodle in your lap.   Other tips and tidbits: Cindy is estimated at 7 years old. We celebrate her birthday 09/23/2018. Please note, we were told Cindy was a are purebred miniature poodles. We do not have pedigrees. We will not guarantee complete non shedding.  She does not shed here.  Her bed is always clean and her hair is growing at a normal poodle rate but we can not guarantee you she is 100% hypoallergenic. 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.

Penny is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 11/12/25 Penny had a dental with 4 extractions. She also had a deep ear cleaning.  Penny will need regular (at least annual) dental check ups.   Weight: 14 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $425 Fence needed? Not necessarily although she is not by any means well versed in leash walking and especially not on pottying on a leash.  If adopted to a non fenced home, it will take some time and patience to teach this skill.  Penny is a busy girl when she is in the yard and loves the freedom of a fenced in space.  First preference will be given to single family fenced in yards but to the right person with the right plan in place for some fun off leash romps on a weekly basis, we can discuss a non fenced in area. What kind of home would be best for me?  Penny is a retired breeder dog but based on her behavior now, she has put that life behind her and is ready to be a spoiled, pampered princess pet of a poodle.  As far as we know, Penny has never lived without Cindy and while we would still love to place them together, after 3 months they are both now independent enough to be parted.  Penny is very human focused. She always wants to be number one.  Number one to be fed, number one to be petted, number one out of the crate, number one in your heart.  Penny is definitely a leader dog and is looking to lead a human into a marvelous relationship between dog and person.    Penny has never been alone. That means we're looking for someone who is home more than they are away.  If you work 8+ hours out of the home, we do not think Penny is that independent.  The trade off to this would be to adopt Penny with her bestie if you do work all day - they have each other for company.  Overall, Penny is a sweet  and gregarious girl who wants a home of her own. She gets along well with other large and small dogs although occasionally, she will show another small dog who is boss (her).  When that happens we simply say "Penny stop" sharply and she goes back to being a happy go lucky soul who loves to bounce.   What is my personality like?  Penny is the leader of the pack. Happy, affectionate and ready to be large in charge of whatever world she finds herself in.   Penny is strong and active. She loves to be at her people's feet and when you are home, you'll have a tiny satellite surrounding you and checking in what you are doing.  Penny is also a "door dasher" - the minute a door opens, she is through it and can't wait to see what is on the other side.  If the door closes, she can bounce up a good 3' trying to see what she can see and convince you to open that door.   Penny has been very good in the car although with us, they are not riding loose. They are riding in the crate for safety.  Speaking of crates, Penny currently sleeps in a crate and keeps her crate clean at night.  We can't guarantee house training, so our suggestion is a crate in your bedroom for the first 30 days, then transition to you bed if you want.  We think she would enjoy night time snuggles very much once they know your routine. Penny is trained to pee pads.  We use washable ones here and if the door is not open fast enough, they are sprinting for the nearest pee pad to do business especially first thing.  I know some people do not like pee pads in the house but you need to know that has been their routine and changing it will take time and loving routine on your part.  Penny will potty outside if taken outside first thing and if you stay with her.  Then during the day, give her ample opportunity.  She will get it eventually but this habit of peeing on cloth inside will take some time to change if you want to change.  it.  For dogs trained to pee pads, it means you have to be careful with having throw rugs because they look like pee pads to a dog.   How do I act when I first meet new people?  Very friendly and if your in a chair, you'll very soon have a snuggle of poodle in your lap.     Other tips and tidbits: Penny is estimated at 7 years old. We celebrate her birthday 09/23/2018. Penny arrived in rescue in October.  At the time, she was with Cindy and the two were inseparable.  They ate together, slept together, went potty together and were often found wound around each other, watching the world go by from the safety of a dog bed.  As they've become more confident in their lives with us, that cement bond has loosened, allowing each girl to realize they could thrive on their own.  While we think they will always be good friends and would love to go together, it's not now strictly required.   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.
