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

Fence needed? Yes, Laura needs a big yard to run around and play in! She requires a physically fenced-in yard of 4 feet or higher to give her an additional room for playtime!
What kind of home would be best for me? Laura Nelly yearns for wide open fields and long nature trails. Some might call her a trail blazer, and we think that is as fitting as it gets! Laura wants nothing more than to be your shadow on long hikes in the mountains, or jogs around the city. Laura craves an outlet for her adventure seeking side, or rather personality. She is always on the hunt for her next adventure. She simply wants to go, go, go! She is an athlete at best - always on to the next best exercise, or workout routine. Laura needs a family that is on the go as much as she is and can run with her even on the rainy days. She loves a game of fetch and will even bring the ball back to you. She will sit, if somewhat impatiently and wait for you to throw the ball again. Frequent hikes sound like a blast to Laura, long games of fetch in the backyard sound like the best way to spend the late afternoon. Laura wants a furry friend or two in the home to play with! She loves her doggy friends and they can keep up with her as best as the next! On those days where fetch might just be out of the picture Laura would want a furry companion to hang out with. Her ideal dog friends are big dogs that love to roughhouse. The bigger the better and the more they wrestle the happier she is!
What is my personality like? Found as an emaciated, balding stray, Laura Nelly has truly blossomed at CPR. Gone are the sad, hungry, itchy days. With a new healthy life has come a whole personality! Laura is happy, to be alive, to be involved! She is simply a happy pup ready for her next big adventure. Laura has so much happiness in her little body sometimes it's hard to control it. Laura has a lot to offer you and sometimes she only knows how to show case it with love nibbles. We are working on discouraging this behavior by ignoring her silly little antics. She is a fast learner and is catching on quickly. She understands she must sit or calm down for attention, but sometimes it's just SO hard! Laura is incredibly affectionate and loves to be snuggled up against you. She is very much a lover, if a little overly enthusiastic!
Life with Laura is a wild ride, and if you are looking for a furry trail blazing friend Laura is kicking up the dirt to get to you!
How do I act when I first meet new people? Laura Nelly LOVES people and as previously stated sometimes her excitement is hard to control. She does her best to sit beside or in front of you, as wiggly as she can and wait for attention, but sometimes it's just too much and she finds herself a tad restless. In these moments she will jump up on you, but just as with her love bites we are working on teaching her that waiting is Oh so worth it! Laura loves to sit in your lap and soak up all the affection you have to offer her, and as long as you are willing to have her there that is were she will be. She deeply wants a strong connection with someone and wears her heart on her sleeve in hopes someone will hold it gently.
Other Tips and Tidbits: Laura Nelly was found as a stray so we have absolutely no history on her. Based on her overall health and condition, our veterinary partner estimated her around a year old when she arrived in rescue. We celebrate Laura Nelly's birth date as 1/20/2023.
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.
