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: 12/30/2020
Reason for being in rescue: Owner Surrender
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet, SC
Special Needs? Bonnie is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, and heartworm negative. Bonnie is not hypoallergenic and does shed. Bonnie is available for transport to New York.
Weight: 50 lbs
Height: 18 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $200
Fence needed? Yes, Bonnie requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 5 feet or taller. The right owner with no fence would be committed to walking Bonnie daily at least twice a day. Bonnie cannot have a wooden fence as she uses the wood planks to climb over the fence. She needs any other form of fencing 5 feet or higher.
What kind of home would be best for me? Bonnie's best home will be with an adventurous family. She would be just fine as your only pup or with another dog of any size. Bonnie likes to chase cats, so we suggest a home with no cats for her. Bonnie is frequently caught snoozing in the sun and just overall hanging out. Bonnie is a healthy mix of energetic and lazy. She will zoom around her canine companions before settling down for a nap. Bonnie would prefer a home with another large canine companion, she does stick to male dogs more often than not. She can be a bit grouchy with a strong-willed female dog. She's like most female dogs, she wants to be the princess of the house. She has lived with female dogs in her foster home, she would sometimes get grouchy with her very rambunctious stepsister who is also a grouchy girl. With a quick verbal correction, both girls would leave each other be. Bonnie just prefers male dogs because they are easy to boss around! Bonnie loves to be the center of life and has the benefit of already living in a home. She is young and affectionate and ready to give her big heart to someone. She is looking for a young couple who want to have the very best companion!
What is my personality like? Bonnie is as cute as a button. She has a personality as big as her ears. And a heart even bigger. She is loud and proud and greets everyone she meets as though she's known them her entire life. Bonnie loves to tussle and wrestle with her canine friends, it is a must that Bonnie gets frequent play dates if she were to go to a home with no other dogs. Bonnie has matured into a young lady fast; she is respectful and listens well to directions. Bonnie knows basic cues such as sit and paw. She is highly food-motivated and will be easy to train. Bonnie would benefit from training classes with her new owner. Bonnie is crate-trained, house-trained, and leash-trained. She will easily walk into her forever home.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly, Bonnie has never met a stranger. She loves people. She prefers to be at home more often than not, she gets very excited in public, and she is just a happy dog. She frequently works on her manners in public, but she forgets not everyone is looking to pet dogs in public. You will spend some time correcting her and showing her to not jump on new people.
Other tips and tidbits: We celebrate Bonnie's birthday as 7/15/20. Bonnie is available for transport to New York!
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.
