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.

Dahla is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 01/20/26 Dahla had a dental polishing. Weight: 14 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $425 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Dahla would do well in almost any home that can offer patience, kindness, and affection. This will be her first true chance at life as a pet, so she’s still learning what it means to live in a home and share space with people. She’s sweet, thoughtful, and eager to learn, but she will need gentle guidance as she figures out house manners and daily routines. Dahla isn’t much for roughhousing or nonstop play. She shines as a cuddle companion and a calm, comforting presence. She would be perfectly content as an only dog, soaking up all the attention, or living alongside another calm dog as a peaceful companion. What is my personality like? Meet Dahla, a cool, calm, and collected little Toy Poodle whose greatest wish in life is simple - love. Dahla isn’t in a hurry and she isn’t demanding - she just wants to be close. A warm lap, a gentle hand, a quiet moment together… that’s her idea of perfection. And when she’s happy, you’ll see it in the way she smiles with her eyes. Dahla will also need help learning how to walk on a leash, but with consistency and encouragement, she’ll get there. In return, she offers steady affection, soulful companionship, and a serene kind of love that settles right into your heart. How do I act when I first meet new people? Dahla is timid and uncertain in new environments and with new people. She needs a few moments to settle in. Other tips and tidbits: Actual birth date 11/4/19 House trained?

Dagwood is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Dagwood is a labradoodle. He is not hypoallergenic and will shed. Weight: 59 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes.  Adoption Fee: $699 Fence needed? Yes, Dagwood requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. Dagwood has always lived in a home with a fenced yard and will require a standard, secure fence for safe exercise and play. This space will allow him to burn energy, explore confidently, and enjoy outdoor time without stress.  What kind of home would be best for me? Dagwood does wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys their company, though he could also succeed as an only dog in the right home. Because he has never lived as a household pet before, he will need time, patience, and understanding as he learns what home life is all about. A family willing to move at his pace and gently guide him through new experiences will help him thrive. We believe Dagwood would do best in a calm, low-key home with older, respectful children who understand how to give him space when needed One important consideration for Dagwood is his fear of car rides. This fear is significant - so much so that it has caused stress-related fevers in the past. He will need an adopter who is committed to helping him work through this fear with patience, consistency, and positive experiences. Avoiding car rides altogether will not help him overcome this challenge; instead, he needs a family dedicated to making the car a safe and reassuring place for him over time.  What is my personality like? Dagwood is a very friendly, almost 2-year-old male Labradoodle with a soft, submissive nature and a truly sweet heart. In familiar environments, his friendly personality shines. He warms up quickly to people and is happy to make new friends. He is leash trained in that he is comfortable wearing one and does not panic, though he does tend to pull when excited and will benefit from formal leash and obedience training. Dagwood is clean in his crate, happily goes in for treats, and has never attempted to escape, showing that he is comfortable with crate routines. We believe Dagwood would do best in a calm, low-key home with older, respectful children who understand how to give him space when needed. With the right environment, structure, and a family willing to invest in his growth, Dagwood has all the potential to become a loving, loyal, and deeply rewarding companion. How do I act when I first meet new people? In new or unfamiliar situations, Dagwood can be shy at first, especially around people he doesn’t yet know, but with patience and reassurance, he gains confidence and settles in.  Other tips and tidbits: Dagwood's birthday is 10/11/2026  House trained?

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?
