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? Say hello to Titus the Timid, a sweet soul who takes his time warming to new experiences. Titus is looking for patience and understanding - he needs things presented to him in a calm, confident manner. His big eyes tell the story of a dog who is not quite sure how he got to be here.
Titus needs a mentor dog and a human who is ready to mentor him as well. Titus is eager to seek affection from his caregivers, though he remains unsure around strangers. He seems to feel more comfortable with women than men, and while he may bark when approached, it's more of a "I don't know you" bark than an aggressive one. His buddy, Reese, helps him feel more secure and teaches him that people can be trusted. This is a dog born and raised during COVID. He needs someone who will open his world up.
Finding a calm forever family with another canine companion will set Titus on the path to a happy life.
What is my personality like? Titus is timid and cautious, often sticking close to his best friend Reese and mirroring his actions. While he currently prefers the company of his buddy, he may become more social as his true personality emerges in a loving forever home.
Titus' adopter will need to teach him his basic commands such as sit, stay, come, down, and the like. Basic leash training will benefit both Titus and his adopter, providing opportunities for bonding and positive reinforcement. A calm environment is essential, as he can become overwhelmed with too many distractions. The ideal adopter will possess an abundance of patience, love, understanding, compassion, calmness, and empathy. A home with another dog (or two) would be fantastic, as this will help Titus learn the ropes of dog life. He currently takes cues from his buddy Reese and would likely do the same with your dog.
How do I act when I first meet new people? When meeting new people, Titus is wary and will bark to express his uncertainty. It's important to take your time; sitting quietly for a few minutes will allow him to adjust to your presence. He is more likely to accept affection from women than men. Remember, Titus is just starting out on his new journey, and with slow, steady training from caring individuals, he will grow into a loyal and loving companion. Your love and support will help him become your best friend for life!
Other tips and tidbits: Titus was born on 6/18/2022.
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.
