Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Mauldin, South Carolina

Shayla is a sweet, gentle, and patient girl who is wonderfully well-mannered. She loves fetch, tug-of-war, sniffy adventures outside, and then settling in for a cozy chill session. She’s fully housetrained, doesn’t need a crate, and sleeps soundly when left alone. Shayla is affectionate without being demanding — she just wants to be near her people and enjoy life together. She gets along well with other pets, including cats and dogs, and is confident and relaxed in new environments. —Best suited for: House with a yard —Training: Fully housetrained, knows “sit” and “come” (selectively) —Alone time: 4–5 hours; settles and sleeps by the door —Leash manners: Walks well, may pull occasionally —Energy level: Medium; more energetic than week 1 —Personality: Affectionate, Chill, Couch Potato, Gentle, Patient, Playful, Quiet, Velcro-dog vibes —Favorite activities: Fetch, Tug of war, Sniffing and exploring, Hanging out with her people —Treat/Food faves: Loves wet food, treats, and peanut butter —Dog interactions: Friendly, gentle, polite, comfortable sharing space —Lives with: Cats; may do well with children based on behavior —Fun facts: Doesn’t jump or whine, rarely barks, never destructive, extremely well-behaved and loving Adoption includes vaccines, deworming, flea treatment, microchip, heartworm test, and spay/neuter.

Cowboy is a smart, active, and loyal 4-year-old Australian Shepherd looking for his perfect home. He loves fetch, walks, and would thrive with an active owner and a big fenced yard. It breaks my heart to rehome him, but Cowboy isn’t a fit for a home with young children. He has shown discomfort around kids and has a history of nipping, so he’ll do best in an adults-only household or with older, respectful teens. Cowboy prefers to meet new people and dogs on his own terms—he’s not instantly friendly if approached directly, but once he warms up he’s loving and playful. Cowboy is due for his yearly vaccinations but is otherwise healthy and ready for his next adventure. With the right home, he’ll give back loyalty, fun, and plenty of love.

Meet Bella, a bouncy, lovable gal who is eager to play and shower you with affection. Bella needs another dog to hang with, and highly preferable that that dog also likes to run and play. Bella is working on leash manners and is eager to please. She is crate trained and well in the car and with Kids. She has never met a stranger and loves to go on adventures. She has done well with dog savvy cats and does not have any issue with smaller dogs and does not seem to have prey drive.

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: 10/27/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Born into rescue Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Mercedes is up to date on vaccines for her age and has been dewormed. Mama Zaire was found as a stray, heavily pregnant. She gave birth in the car while being transported to rescue. Our best guess is that she is an Australian Shepherd / Doodle mix. These puppies are not hypoallergenic and will shed. Weight: 8 lbs and growing - we expect Mercedes will be between 75 lbs - 85 lbs when full grown Height: 6 in and growing - we expect Mercedes will be at least 24 in when full grown Spayed/Neutered: No. Mercedes is too young to be spayed. She will be adopted on a spay/neuter contract that requires you to spay her at your cost within 12 months and provide proof of spay Adoption Fee: Donation of your choice - our wish is for this puppy to be in her forever home for the holidays. Fence needed? Yes, Mercedes requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. What kind of home would be best for me? Mercedes is looking for a home that either has another large, active dog for play OR has a plan for regular socialization. Regular socialization means scheduled play time a minimum 3 times per week for at least an hour with another young, active dog. Puppies need friends! A person scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and can provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day and night is a must. She is a baby and needs play breaks as well as frequent and consistent potty times to aid in potty training.  What is my personality like? Mercedes is a young, happy, active puppy. She loves his litter mates, loves to play, and loves toys. Like here mama, sweet Mercedes has beautiful two-toned eyes. One blue and one brown. It's stunning! PUPPY POLICY: Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family. Puppies can be a joyous experience, but they can also be a tremendous amount of work. Since our goal is to place each of our dogs in forever homes, we are especially cautious with puppies. We like to stress 3 major things when considering a puppy vs. an adult dog: 1) many adult dogs are well bred, well trained dogs who find themselves in rescue through no fault of their own, 2) adult dogs are eager to share their love and bond with their new family, and 3) puppies will always require far more time, energy, and training than an adult dog. Our ideal puppy adopters are: -experienced dog owners with a solid record of excellent vet care of their previous pets -scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and have another canine companion already in the home -stay at home type of people (work at home, home schoolers, retired, etc.) How do I act when I first meet new people? Mercedes is a happy girl who enjoys meeting new friends. Other tips and tidbits: Born into rescue 10/27/2025 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.
