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: 1/2/2026 Reason for being in rescue: Owner Surrender Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Pongo is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 01/20/26 Pongo had a dental polishing. Pongo is an Aussie-Doodle. He is not hypoallergenic and will shed. Weight: 57 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed? Yes, Pongo requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. What kind of home would be best for me? Pongo is looking for a peaceful home, ideally as an only dog, where he can finally exhale and just be. In return, he’ll offer quiet loyalty, soft affection, and a grateful heart that knows what it means to be given another chance. Pongo has been tested with cats and was a bit too curious - so no cats for him! Pongo is great with adults, particularly adults that move at his pace. We were told that in his previous home Pongo guarded his food. In rescue, he eats alone and doesn't have to compete with other dogs. He will growl if another dog comes near his food. Given this, if there are children in the home, they must understand boundaries when dogs are eating and give Pongo his space. Hey, we don't like to share food either! What is my personality like? Born on July 17, 2017, Pongo’s journey has been one of quiet resilience and second chances. On January 2, 2026, he arrived at the poodle farm after his previous owner exhausted every option trying to find him a new home in New Jersey. When no one came forward, we stepped in - grateful to help - and brought Pongo all the way to South Carolina so his story wouldn’t end there but begin again. Pongo was surrendered because he was believed to struggle with other dogs. What we’ve discovered is something very different. Pongo isn’t aggressive at all - he’s simply scared. Other dogs make him uncomfortable, and it’s clear he feels safest when he doesn’t have to compete for space or attention. With people, though, he shines. He craves calm, gentle companionship and blossoms when he feels secure and loved. This sweet boy is kind, friendly, and wonderfully laid-back. He’s a bit of a lazy soul who truly appreciates life’s simple pleasures - especially food (and yes, it shows!). Pongo would benefit from a gentle walking routine to help him shed a little middle-aged “spread,” but he’s already house-trained and delights in playing with toys when the mood strikes. How do I act when I first meet new people? Pongo has a quiet, gentle demeanor. He greets new faces gently. Other tips and tidbits: Pongo's birthday is 7/2/2017 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. January 27, 2026, 10:20 am

MeShell MaBelle is a story of quiet endurance and beautiful transformation. At three years old and 60 pounds, this striking black Standard Poodle embodies everything people love about the breed — intelligence, sensitivity, and a deep emotional awareness of her people. For much of her early life, MeShell tried to be content with limited interaction and long hours alone. While she loved her family, the lack of stimulation and extended crate confinement placed stress on her gentle system, eventually leading to a diagnosis of Addison’s Disease — a condition that is very manageable, especially in a home built on routine, consistency, and love. Everything changed when MeShell entered foster care. Surrounded for the first time by open skies, fresh air, and patient guidance, she began discovering what life could be. On a lively farm filled with dogs of all sizes, curious cats, horses, donkeys, and even pigs, MeShell absorbed new experiences with quiet determination. She learned how to play, how to relax in the presence of others, and how to take joy in simple freedoms — running through tall grass, resting near trusted humans, and curling up beside a canine companion at the end of the day. Today, MeShell is a happy, affectionate, and energetic girl who thrives on companionship and gentle structure. She is deeply people-oriented and does best when she is included, seen, and emotionally connected to her humans. Her care needs are straightforward: a daily pill, a once-monthly injection, and a lifelong promise that she will never again be overlooked. What she gives in return is immeasurable — loyalty, intelligence, and a love that feels steady, intentional, and profoundly sincere. MeShell MaBelle is ready to leave her past behind and step fully into a future where she is cherished as both a companion and a soul. If you feel a pull toward a dog who has known hardship but still offers her whole heart, she may be the one you’ve been waiting for. To learn more about adopting MeShell, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and include your location when inquiring. Adoptions are available to Tennessee residents, with regular transport offered to families in the northeastern states. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.January 25, 2026, 7:29 pm

Cooper is one of the cuddliest dogs you'll meet, has never met a stranger and loves any and all attention you give him. He is 4 years old. He's pretty chill around the house when on his own but gets very energetic when he starts playing with someone or another dog. He's very gentle and careful with our toddler but can also get playful with older kids. He really loves attention, pets and cuddles, and we believe he'd thrive being the only dog where he can get all the love. He does get very excited and a little anxious when he meets new dogs but once he gets comfortable and settles in, he doesn't have any issues. He's been around cats a few times and gets really excited about them, but I'm sure would accept as part of the family. He is up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Given that he is a poodle, he's prone to ear infections due to how much hair grows in his ear canal and traps moisture so consistent ear maintenance is essential.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Pria is a 2 year old Poodle mix, she currently weighs 46.3 pounds.   She was found as a stray so we aren't sure what breed she is mixed with.  She is a beautiful gray/silver color and is on the smaller side.   Pria is super friendly and she loves to give everyone hugs.  She would be better without small children due to her size and energy.  She is good with other dogs and she loves humans.  She does needs work with house training and would definitely benefit from a basic obedience training.   Pria will need a fenced yard for potty and playtime.  If you would like to meet her please fill out an application from our website.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 23, 2026, 3:45 pm

Foster location: In Foster in Wilmington, NC Special Needs? Blaze is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Weight: 51 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $699 Fence needed? Yes, Blaze requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. What kind of home would be best for me? H andsome Blaze is a young dog that is very light on life experiences. He needs a special home where his human will be his constant companion and teacher. His ideal adopter will have an abundance of patience, love, understanding, compassion, forgiveness, calmness, and empathy. It’s essential that Blaze’s family has experience with shy or special-needs dogs, as he requires gentle guidance to build his confidence. Currently, Blaze is fearful of many things and will need time and encouragement to feel secure. He’s not yet comfortable approaching people for pets or treats, so his new family should be skilled in helping timid dogs blossom. A confident dog in the household is required, as it can help Blaze learn how to navigate the world and understand what it means to be a beloved pet. Given his anxious nature, Blaze would thrive in a home without children, where sudden noises and movements won’t startle him. Ideally, his adopter would be a single person or a couple dedicated to helping him grow through compassionate teaching. His adopter MUST be experienced in working with developing dogs from a mistrustful, skittish, and fearful dog into a well-trained pet. What is my personality like?  Meet big Blaze, a shy and timid guy who came to us as a breeder release and is just beginning to discover what it means to be a dog. Blaze has only known life in a breeding environment. He has a long road ahead in terms of social adjustment and learning to embrace life as a beloved pet. Blaze is reserved, timid, and shy when interacting with both animals and people. Everything is new and can be a bit scary for him. Here at CPR, Blaze is starting to learn about love, companionship, and the joys of being a dog. Blaze is living in a foster home and making such good progress. He walks well on a leash. He is social at puppy play groups. He takes treats gently and more confidently every day. Blaze has a deep desire for love and affection, but his fear holds him back. With patience and kindness, you can help him feel safe enough to take that leap. If you’re an experienced dog owner ready to guide Blaze on his journey to becoming the loving companion he’s meant to be, please consider opening your heart and home to him. Adopting Blaze means transforming his life and helping him write his redemption story. How do I act when I first meet new people? When meeting new people, Blaze typically retreats. He has a gentle soul and it’s obvious he dearly wants to trust people.  Although he may seem distant, his longing for connection is clear. With time and trust, Blaze has the potential to become the sweetest, most loving dog you could ever imagine. Other tips and tidbits: Blaze was born on or around 3/1/2024. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours.
