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.

What kind of home would be best for me? Finn initially was believed to be a follower, however in his months here with us we have seen a leader buried deep beneath the scars of past let downs. He is powerful and determined in a group and we know Finn needs another dog in the home. A dog he can learn from and officially become the leader of. Finn is very much 'the student becomes the teacher' type. He requires teaching before blossoming, but once he had open up he is a fun free spirited individual with the capacity to teach you something! Finn loves to play in the right setting and once he has found his click, he runs with the best of them! Finn would love hikes and jogs with a furry companion to first show him what to do. Once he learns you better watch out, we're not sure you could keep up!
Finn loves big dogs, and he is a big boy. Finn plays much better with bigger dogs and would appreciate a bigger friend in the house. He is most comfortable with dogs 40lbs and above. Anything smaller and Finn just doesn't understand how to play with them. He has big brother ideas of rough housing and wrestling that are a little too much for his smaller counter parts. Finn had yet to be cat tested, we assume no cats would be a better option for him.
What is my personality like? Finn is a tall and handsome guy man! His ability to charm surpasses any other dogs, but he has a mysterious air to him. He will reel you in with his good looks before dashing off as if he never once asked you to come over. He's a sucker for a slow burn love story, and he loves to be chased after. Not literally, but if you have ever laid your eyes on a romance novel or watched a Hallmark movie, you get the picture.
Finn is young and like a lot of young people he is not exactly sure what he wants, or about anything for that matter. He loves guidance, there is a leader deep inside of Finn he simply needs that push to break him out of his shell! Finn has a heart of gold and he offers it sparingly. Though young he knows the burn of a broken-heart and he is not keen on getting another. His charm draws you in, but he believes in 'actions speak louder than words.' Something we all can relate to, and with his understanding of all things human Finn is intelligent! Learning with the speed of light. He is working on his 'sit' queue and has almost mastered 'wait' when going through thresholds. Finn understands a leash but does best with a confident and strong mentor that can show him how its really supposed to work.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Finn is in this for the long haul, and if you know anything about winning a potential love interest over well Finn is no different. With a 'catch me if you can' attitude Finn shows a more bashful side once roped in. Choosing to float around the idea of love it takes him just a bit to fall into your arms and be swayed. However, like most hard-to-get types once he is there you just can't peel him off. Like you would want too anyways, he shows a sweet and loving side once he is comfy and with looks like his you should be proud, he's as attached to you as he is.
Other tips and tidbits: Finn's date of birth is 6/7/2023.
House trained? Finn is clean in his crate, but has never lived crate free in a home and will need guidance here. 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.
