Yorkie puppies and dogs in Gaffney, South 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:11/6/24 Reason for being in rescue: Owner release. Owner is becoming homeless and wants Sprocket to have a good home. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Sprocket is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Weight: 20 lbs (est) Height: 14 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $349 Fence needed? No, but he would enjoy one. Sprocket has a lot of energy to burn off and prefers to be the only dog in the area. What kind of home would be best for me? Sprocket is best as the only dog in the home. His fearless, terrier instincts make him prone to challenging other dogs, especially dogs who are smaller than him. He cautiously accepts very few dogs here at the farm, but all are larger than himself. He also doesn’t get along with cats either. For this reason, he would thrive in a single-pet household where he can enjoy all the attention. If he is placed in a home with other dogs, they need to be larger than Sprocket, and understand how to correct undesirable behavior safely. Sprocket would do best with an experienced dog owner, particularly someone familiar with terriers and their strong personalities. He would do best in a home and would be perfectly happy with a single person or a couple. If you live in a community setting, be prepared that Sprocket is NOT a dog park sort of guy. He also isn't interested in group play dates or walking sessions.  What is my personality like? Meet Sir Sprocket of Inman, your new highly active best friend! Sir Sprocket, a spirited, spunky terrier ready to bring lots of energy and personality into your life! Sprocket came to us after his previous owners became homeless and made the selfless decision to surrender him, hoping he would find a loving new home. Now, he's looking for an active family that can keep up with his high energy and bold spirit. Sprocket is a high-energy dog who thrives on exercise and mental stimulation. He loves to play ball, run, and stay active, so he needs a family who enjoys outdoor adventures like walks, hikes, and runs. A securely fenced yard where he can burn off his energy would be ideal but be prepared—he'll likely tire you out first! Without enough physical and mental outlets, Sprocket may become restless or destructive. Sprocket is a confident, courageous, and independent little dog. He's not shy about asserting himself and can be stubborn at times. While he’s very alert and would make a great watchdog, Sprocket needs an experienced owner who understands his strong-willed nature. He is very intelligent, and picks up on things rather quickly. Sprocket resource guards his food, toys, and space, especially in his run. If you're near him during mealtime it's important to give him space and let him finish before approaching. When it comes to toys, distraction is the best method to avoid conflict. His space here is his run and when the gate is closed, he resource guards it. We stand to the side and open the gate. Once outside of his "territory," Sprocket is ready to play and show affection, and he’s perfectly happy being picked up and cuddled. He's going to be best in a home where crating and barriers are minimal to non-existent. Sprocket walks on a leash but pulls, so he will need consistent leash training. He knows how ti sit, but also needs to learn basic commands like stay, down, and come. With patience and guidance, Sprocket will become a loyal, well-mannered companion. Sprocket is still working on potty training and crate training skills and he is doing better by the day! How do I act when I first meet new people? Sprocket can be a bit protective of his space, and when meeting new people, he may bark a little if you enter his "territory." However, once he’s away from his crate, he’s friendly, outgoing, and quick to warm up to you. With a little patience, you’ll quickly see his affectionate and playful side. Other tips and tidbits: Sprocket was originally found as a stray back in 2022. At the time, it was estimated he was 3ish years old. We celebrate Sprocket's birthday 11/6/2019. 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. 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. April 17, 2025, 4:42 pm

Darla is around 3 years old and weighs 8 pounds. She has a sweet little temperament and loves to give kisses. She gets along great with the other dogs here but we have no history as far as children or cats. We rescued her and 6 others from an Animal Shelter. With her temperament though, she should be good with older, gentle children. She is also crate trained and house trained. She will make a loving, precious companion for someone as she is the perfect lap size.  Darla is spayed, microchipped and current on shots, heartworm and flea prevention. If you are interested in visiting or adopting, please do our application at Richardsonrescue.org. That is also our most current site to see if a pet is still available. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 16, 2025, 2:28 pm

Age: 5 years Weight: 9 lbs. Adoption Fee: $350.00 Fostered in Indian Trail, North Carolina Email: yorkiemommync@yahoo.com 9/16/24 - Bruno's skin condition has been in remission for over a year. He no longer takes any medication for his skin. He is just on supplements for his joints since his hips are not the best. He is very sensitive to the food he eats and can get runny poo very quickly, but his foster mom has found a food that is working and he has no longer had any poo issues. He still loves to play with toys and likes to be chased, he crawls under blankets to nap, and unfortunately still has to wear a belly band because he will pee on anything at any time. He still always looks so happy and excited too. 11/30/22 – Today we found out Bruno has an autoimmune disease called Pemphigus Erythematosus that is causing all his skin issues. His dermatologist is going to start him on high dose steroids for two weeks to try and get it in remission as quickly as possible so we can back down and get him ready to have his torn ACL repaired. He will also be going on a medication called Mycophenolate for the autoimmune disease, and that will likely be for the rest of his life to keep it in remission. He is still going to physical therapy weekly and is still not too thrilled with the hydro treadmill. He just does not want to use his back legs to walk while in it. Might just take more time and hopefully once we can get the torn ACL repaired it will get even better. Despite all he has going on, he is still so happy and loving! He gets to spend more time out of the crate now that he is six weeks post hip surgery. Thank you to everyone for their prayers and support for Bruno! 11/2/22 – Bruno had his hip surgery on 10/18. We have been doing his exercises at home, but unfortunately he is not using the leg like he should, so we will be starting with physical therapy on 11/4. We are hopeful this will help to get the leg moving the way it should and build up some more muscle as it feels like he has lost even more muscle mass in that leg. He still needs the ACL repair to happen, but the skin needs to be figured out first. Bruno has also seen the dermatologist and she initially thought his skin issues were from an antibiotic resistant staph infection, but he has had two negative cultures. She is now thinking it could possibly be an auto immune disease, even though she did not see the cells she usually sees when doing a skin scrape in the office. We are spraying him with a topical antibiotic/steroid spray and medicated baths every 3 days. We have a skin biopsy tentatively scheduled for 11/15. We need to get the infection cleared up more before doing a biopsy otherwise it could skew the results. Poor Bruno has so much going on, but even through all of it he is so happy and loving. He will just stare lovingly into your eyes and snuggle into you. 10/12/22 - Bruno went in yesterday and was neutered and had his dental done. After dental x-rays were done, it was found that he had major bone loss around several teeth and the start of bone loss around others. Given they were so bad, as we suspected, he had to have the remaining teeth he had removed. He is doing good with no teeth and ate some food last night and breakfast this morning. The dogtor said as he was under anesthesia and she wiggled a few of the teeth his blood pressure would go up, meaning she could tell they were painful to him. His mouth should feel so much better now. We also went to see the specialist last week as his leg has become worse being on crate rest. It was decided that he will go in on 10/18 for an FHO on his worst hip and if his skin is much better at that time she will also fix the torn ACL. He cannot have any infection for that repair, so we are crossing our fingers. If not, he will have to go in when his skin is cleared up and have the ACL repair. He has been battling the skin issues since December 2021 when his savior took him out of the bad situation. The dogtor suspects it is still flea dermatitis. His skin is better, but not good enough. The hip surgery is estimated to be around $2500 right now. Despite all his ailments he is still such a happy and loving little guy. 9/21/22 – Bruno is a happy go lucky little man that you can just see the smile on his face. He loves belly rubs, lots of affection, and loves to play with toys now that he knows how to. He did not have a great start to his life by living the first years of his life in a building with several other yorkies that were just given food and water a couple of times a day and not having all the love and attention they deserved. A wonderful lady went to help his original owner clean up all the dogs and convinced her to let her take two of the pups in December 2021. When his savior brought him home he had fleas, was not using his back leg, and had a bad rash. She worked very hard to make him feel better. Due to her own health, she unfortunately had to surrender him, which is how he came to YHR. We are still working on clearing up his rash, his bloodwork is slowly improving, but he has very bad teeth that need to be cleaned. He is scheduled for his dental and neuter on 10/12. We saw the specialist today regarding his limping and lameness in his left back leg. He does have bilateral hip arthritis, restricted mobility in both hips, but he also has a torn ACL in he left knee. He is going on crate rest for about 4 weeks to see if he can build scar tissue to naturally heal it and try to avoid surgery. If that does not work, then he will need surgery to repair it. Once we get that fixed, then we will see if his mobility gets better and if not, he may need surgery on the hip to give him mobility. With the issues with the back legs, he does put more pressure on his front legs and sometimes limps on the front legs, but x-rays show there are no issues with the front legs. Bruno really is just the happiest little guy we have seen in a while. He looks like he is smiling a lot of the time. He does great riding in the car and has been doing so in a doggy car seat. His crate rest will be in a stroller, which he does not mind either. He went for a stroll last weekend in the stroller and did great. Given he is older and was never neutered nor trained to go potty outside because he peed where he lived, he does mark a lot. That likely will not change given his age, so he may need to remain in a belly band, which he is great with too. He has lost some muscle mass in his backend, so the bellybands will slip off his hips, but suspenders have worked great to keep it in place. We are not sure about him likely to cuddle given the pain he is dealing with in his knee and hips, so hopefully when that all gets fixed we can see if he is a cuddle bug too.
