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   259334Date into Rescue: 04/22/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Witt was found as a stray and landed at a shelter. CPR pulled him from the shelter. Foster location: Foster Home in Rocky Mount, NC Special Needs? Witt is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Because we no origin for Witt, we cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic or that he won't shed. Our best guess is that he is a shih tzu mix. Weight: 13.5 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No, but he would love one What kind of home would be best for me? Witt is a young, happy, active boy looking for an active home. Like most young dogs, he is full of energy and mischief and pure joy. Witt's ideal forever home meets some specific criteria. First, you must lead an active lifestyle. Witt 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. Third, you need to be home more than you are away. Witt REALLY wants to be with his people - go everywhere with you. And finally, you must have a plan for training. Witt is a young boy who needs mental and physical stimulation daily.  Witt 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. Witt 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? Witt is the happiest, silliest boy you will ever meet. We have no idea how he ended up wandering the streets, but it hasn't dulled his glow one single bit. He's a simple sort of boy - give him a ball to play with, toys to entertain himself, your bed to sleep in, and lots of snuggles and he will give you his heart. Witt is also full of mischief. He doesn't know much about house manners but is working on them. If he's bored, he will explore. Think table tops, trash cans, whatever he can find. Witt needs activities! How do I act when I first meet new people? Witt loves making friends! Other tips and tidbits: Witt was found as a stray so we have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition our estimate is that he's 2 years old. We celebrate his birthday 04/22/2023. 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, 8:43 pm

*BONDED PAIR THAT MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER* Meet Yo Yo and Squirt!  Meet the gremlins, YoYo and Squirt! This super curious, extra affectionate bonded pair are happy to he wherever you are! Walk? Yes! Work? Yes! The couch? BIG YES! Squirt (blonde) is working on growing his hair and it’s coming in nicely as a Mohawk down his back. Until then, tiny pajamas are a must (he gets chilly, but also TINY PAJAMAS).   Squirt has never met a single stranger and is a professional napper. His arch nemisis is wet grass thatt touches his tummy.   YoYo (grey) is a little slower to warm up to louder, boistrous people. Once he does, though, you have a shadow for life. Privacy? What is that? Personal space? I don’t know her. This snuggle bug LOVES walks, watching TV (seriously, he actively watches it!), and being your very best friend. His arch nemisis is any household appliance that makes noise.   He is neutered, dewormed, microchipped, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for his age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. Yo Yo and Squirt are currently being fostered in South Carolina. ADOPT YO YO AND SQUIRT!! www.LuckyPupRescueSC.com The adoption fee is $300.00 and we require a vet check and home visit.

Story
Effie is a precious senior girl that is ready to find a family to call her own. Effie came to us from a horrible situation where she was one of twelve dogs that were living in a house that was beyond nasty - they had never been outside and were being fed just whatever was in the cabinets or refrigerator - Effie was so matted up when she came to the rescue that we did not even know if she was a male or female and she was not able to see until we shaved her down as her eyes were covered with matts of fur. Effie has really blossomed and is one of the more independent and confident dogs out of the group. She has decided that living the good life as a spoiled dog is pretty darn amazing and she loves to run and play outside. We estimate her age to be 7 years old- sometimes it is hard to tell as the neglect she suffered for years can make them appear normal and there was no way to tell her age from her teeth as they were in horrible shape and she had major dental work done after coming to the rescue. Effie does well with other dogs - she has not been around cats or small kids. She is doing well with her housebreaking but will require patience and consistency when going to a new home with a new schedule. Effie is spayed, has had her dental work done and remaining teeht cleaned. she has had a full workup with bloodwork and a urinalysis, heartworm tested and current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention, dewormed, current on vaccines and microchipped. She weights 25 pounds and is the perfect lap dog that would love to keep your lap warm If you are interested in sweet Effie - please go to our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org and fill out one of our adoption applications. We require this to be filled out and reviewed before we will set up any meet and greet - we do require vet references and and a home visit. Effie's adoption fee is $250.00 Effie said she is so ready to find a family and a home to call her own - will that be your home ?
