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:  01/07/25 Reason for being in rescue: Evie arrived in rescue after being seized in a hoarding case. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Evie is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.  Weight: 11.50 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Evie’s journey to trust and affection will take time. Evie has not been socialized with people and is still fearful of most things. While we are working to help her feel safe, she will need an adopter who understands that she will require patience, consistency, and gentle guidance. Evie would thrive in a calm, quiet environment where she can adjust at her own pace whether that’s with a single person, couple, or family. A home with another calm, well-adjusted dog would be ideal to help her learn from a canine mentor. We know there is a wonderful, loving girl inside of Evie. When you work with her, she will learn how to trust and love and will become your loving companion. The hard work and effort by the both of you will be well worth the loving reward! If you are an experienced dog owner with the time and patience to help Evie become the loving companion she’s meant to be, please come meet her. With your help, we know she will blossom into a loyal, affectionate friend. The hard work you put in will be rewarded with a bond that’s worth every effort and the love you receive in return will have made all worthwhile. What is my personality like? Meet Evie, a resilient girl who was seized in a hoarding case, landed at a shelter, and was ultimately brought to CPR where she gave birth to a litter of puppies. Now that her pups have been weaned and found their forever home, Evie is ready to focus on becoming the loving companion she deserves to be. Evie is very fearful and needs plenty of time and support to learn to trust. Evie is a blank slate when it comes to training—simple commands like "come" and "stay" are unfamiliar to her. She needs to learn that things like the sound of a can opener, a closing door, or the garbage disposal aren’t monsters out to get her. It's going to take time, effort, and a lot of love for Evie to develop into the confident, loving pet she can be. Evie has been through a lot—from life in a filthy home full of dogs to an overcrowded shelter, and finally to a farm as a new mother. Now it’s time for her to decompress and learn to trust that people aren’t so scary, and that life can be peaceful. How do I act when I first meet new people? Evie is afraid of people and will need time to adjust before she feels comfortable. Other tips and tidbits: Evie was born on or about 12/28/23. 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 30, 2025, 2:36 pm

This is a courtesy post. Please do not contact Heart of the Foothills Animal Rescue for information. Contact information is provided below.Jetta is a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd (cryptic merle with white markings). She is spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. She is also AKC and ASCA registered and up-to-date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.Like many Aussis, Jetta is energetic and would need to have a fenced-in yard to run, play, and be contained. Jetta does not get along with other dogs (unsure about cats), so she would need to be the only pet in the home. Jetta has a very sweet personality and loves to be with her person - or people - but does not do well with children or strangers. In the evenings, Jetta loves to snuggle with her people on the couch.Jetta is a smart dog and knows basic obedience. She has worked with a couple of trainers over the last few years. Jetta is housetrained and views her crate as a safe place when she is not interacting with her people. She loves food/treats, attention, and playing with her toys. Jetta also enjoys walks and hikes, but may need to be muzzled due to her reactivity. She is very protective of her home and would make an excellent watch dog.The owner is surrendering her because she needs a home without any other dogs or children. Veterinarian or personal references are required. There is a rehoming fee. If you are interested in Jetta, please email angelkking@gmail.com or contact Angel at 828-429-7373.

We are looking to re-home our miniature Aussie, we have had him since he was a puppy in 2018, he has been a good dog overall, but we have 2 new foster children that we plan to adopt, and he has been possessive at times and has high anxiety, which is an issue with children and occasionally other dogs.At this time we feel it is best for him to have a new home without distractions that would cause him additional anxiety. Feel free to reach out to learn more and ask any questions you may have!

We have had Bugsy since she was a puppy, her birthday is 4/2/2021 we picked her up from her breeder at 10 weeks old and we were told she was an Australian Shepard/ Labrador mix. Last summer we welcomed our son home and since his arrival we noticed a personality change in Bugsy. We assumed it was due to the baby being in the house and we figured she was being territorial towards him. But unfortunately in the last few weeks that behavior and personality change has turned into aggression and we can no longer trust her to be around our 10 month old and soon to be another newborn come July. Our biggest goal for Bugsy is for her to be rehomed to a loving individual or family who has the time for her. We believed she has felt neglected since bringing home our son and we hope she can get back to her old self. Which is an incredible, energetic, loving, cuddly, intelligent and loyal dog. Ideally her future home would not include small children, but perhaps bigger kids or adults only.
