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

What kind of home would be best for me? Clifford is a lover of romance novels. He has to be, because he absolutely loves a slow burn love story. He loves when someone chases after him for his affection. Call him a little selfish but he loves making life all about him. In the most selfless ways too. From bashful glances across the play yards to subtle sniffs at your hand when you walk past him. Clifford yearns for a family that will give him time, and just like those romance novels; He “just needs to make sure he’s ready for the commitment.” He is, he just loves to play hard to get. Call it his hobby. Who can blame him when he is as stunning as he is! But - Clifford has a weakness, just like most main characters - Treats!
Clifford loves food! As a big boy Clifford loves a good snack or meal for that matter. Pull out those treats and well, Clifford is suddenly ready to commit. The moment the smell of bacon hits the air he’s sold. He will approach you with a coy step before delicately taking the treat from you. Clifford is looking for a gentle caring love. Something real and unconditional. He has a modesty about him that he doesn’t wear on his sleeve and trust when we say he’s diligent about who he shows.
Clifford is an independent gentleman, but regardless of his lack of copious friend groups Clifford needs a furry companion in the home. Another dog that can show him the ropes and teach him what it’s like to live that luxury lifestyle he craves.
What is my personality like? Clifford is regal, dignified you could say, and he knows it. Clifford has a meticulousness about him that can become a sort of game when getting him to really show his true personality. He plays for the big wins for sure, setting down the right calls at the perfect time. He knows how to play his cards, and he plays them sparingly. He doesn’t look for guidance as much as he looks for someone just as distinguished as him. He has a leader deep inside that is bursting at the seams of his heart. Waiting patiently for the perfect person to appear in his life so he can bravely step into his new role as your best friend.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Clifford has made tremendous progress at CPR and through our time and effort Clifford has become a beautifully curious boy. In new situations Clifford maintains face. Always calm and collected, even if inside he feels a little sheepish. However, that all changes the moment treats are presented. At the crinkle of a bag or the unzip of a Ziplock bag Clifford is slinking his way towards you and stretching his neck out for even a mere sniff of that baked goodness. He will walk over to you with a sway in his step before giving the sweetest eyes. He will take his treat and promptly ask for another. Congratulations you have become a treat jar, Clifford is your best friend. From there he will allow gentle pets and sweet words. The rest will be history.
Other tips and tidbits: Clifford is estimated at 6 years old. We celebrate his birthday 07/06/2017.
House trained? Clifford is clean in his crate! 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.
