Story
Looking for your next furry BFF? We don’t have perfect dogs — but we do have dogs who are perfect for the right someone. Our goal is to match each dog with the home that fits them best and each home with the dog that will sing to your heart. Ready to adopt? Complete an application at Application – Carolina Poodle Rescue Date into Rescue:2/3/2026 Reason for being in rescue: Davey was part of a large group of dogs that are abandoned at a shelter in Maryland. Carolina Poodle Rescue partnered with the shelter and other rescues to get the dogs into rescue. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Davey is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 2/11/26 he had a dental polishing. Davey had Grade 1 dental disease (accumulated tartar and gingivitis) which was easily corrected with a good dental cleaning which was done when he was neutered. He has pearly whites again. Our vet recommends a good dental hygiene program for all poodles. Healthy teeth means a good life. Davey also had some really dirty, nasty ears and those were cleaned. Poodle ears need more attention than Davey's have been getting. He's good now, no infection fortunately. Weight: 27.50 lbs Height: 18 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $699 Fence needed? No, but Davey is young and has a lot of energy and will require proper exercise if he does not have a fence. Proper exercise is defined as walks of a minimum of 1 mile at least twice per day and off lead running time at a minimum of 3 times per week for at least an hour each session. This can include dog parks, doggie day care, or play dates at friend's houses with dogs. What kind of home would be best for me? Davey is still polishing his life skills and will benefit from continued guidance with leash walking, basic manners, and settling into household routines. He is a bright, willing learner who responds well to gentle, consistent training. He is crate trained and does well for grooming, which will make his ongoing care smooth and manageable. He gets along nicely with other dogs of all sizes and would do well in many different home environments. Davey could be happy as an only dog soaking up all the attention, but he would also enjoy having a friendly canine companion to share playtime and companionship. Davey would do well with children that can understand how to play and interact with dogs. What is my personality like? Davey is a handsome gray and white male small standard (also called a moyen size poodle) with a gentle spirit and a heart that’s ready to find his place. At first, he can be just a tad timid in new situations, but he warms up almost immediately once he realizes he’s safe. Within moments, his sweet and affectionate personality begins to shine. At nearly two years old, Davey is a wonderful balance of closeness and independence. He enjoys being near his people and sharing in daily life, but he’s also perfectly content relaxing on his own when needed. He appreciates attention and affection without being overly demanding, making him an easy companion to live with. He has a cheerful, light energy and loves spending time outdoors exploring or simply enjoying the fresh air. With patience, structure, and love, Davey will quickly settle in and become a loyal, easygoing companion - bringing both warmth and quiet joy to the home lucky enough to welcome him. How do I act when I first meet new people? Davey can be timid in new situations, but warms up quickly. Other tips and tidbits: We have no history on Davey pre-rescue. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 18 months old. We celebrate his birthday 08/01/2024 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. Potential Adopters Dogs can’t drive — and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them.
