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

Special Needs? Crystal Gucci is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Crystal Gucci was found as a stray so we have no history on her pedigree. Our best guess is that she is a doodle of some sort. We will never guarantee that a doodle is hypoallergenic or that they will not shed. If you have allergies, Crystal is not your dog. If you have another dog, Crystal is not your dog. Crystal needs an only dog home. No dogs parks. She does not need or want canine friends.
Weight: 55 lbs
Height: 24 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $599
Fence needed? Yes, Crystal Gucci requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller.
What kind of home would be best for me? Crystal Gucci requires an experienced dog owner and someone who is home more than they're away. She is kind of a unique girl. Crystal Gucci is strong-willed, opinionated, and determined; traits that make her an engaging companion. But don’t let her moody side fool you; she’s also a devoted love bug who thrives on affection and attention. With the right guidance and patience, she will blossom into a wonderful pet.
Crystal Gucci will do best in a home where someone is around more often than not, allowing for the consistent training and companionship she craves. This girl has likely been in a loving home before and would be thrilled to join a new family. .
Crystal walks alone. We've tried to introduce doggie companions, and she could care less - and sometimes cares enough to snap. Leave me be is all over her demeanor. Crystal says there is no room in your life for more than one big girl and she is it. Please do not get us wrong. Crystal is an awesome dog. We all think she is beautiful and she is special and unique. She simply has boundaries and rules (don't we all) and in the right home, she is going to absolutely thrive. In the wrong home, it will be a disaster.
She also has some quirks about barriers, which we've detailed below. Given this, she is likely best suited to a home with older children or no children. She’s shown that she can thrive as the center of attention! She is phenomenal with adults.
What is my personality like? Meet Crystal Gucci, a beautiful and friendly three-year-old big white standard poodle mix with a big heart and an even bigger spirit who is destined to be your next best friend! Crystal Gucci is a strong willed and opinionated girl. When it comes to other dogs, she will let you know her likes and dislikes; she is discerning when it comes to her canine friends. She has done well around other big dogs but doesn’t interact well with small dogs or cats.
Crystal Gucci walks exceptionally well on a leash and knows how to sit on command. With a little time and positive reinforcement, we believe she’ll quickly learn other basic commands like come, stay and down. Crystal Gucci LOVES car rides but be sure to give her enough room to stick her head out the window. She likes to pretend she’s biting the cars that go by like a kid that uses their finger to shoot the cars that go by. Have we mentioned that Crystal Gucci is kind of a unique girl!
It’s important to note that Crystal Gucci has some quirks when it comes to barriers. Whether in a crate, run, or behind a fence, she can react strongly. However, once you enter her space, she transforms into a loving cuddle bug, eager for pets and affection. If her new home has a fence, she’ll do well as long as there are no other dogs nearby. While she may react to dogs on the other side, she calms down quickly once they’ve passed.
Crystal Gucci is ready for her second chance at a forever home. If you’re an experienced dog owner who can embrace her quirks and provide her with the love and guidance she needs, there’s no better companion than Miss Crystal Gucci, she will Light Up Your Life!
How do I act when I first meet new people? When it comes to meeting new people, Crystal Gucci is a social butterfly! During a recent visit to Lowe’s, she was in her element, happily greeting everyone she encountered. With her charm and enthusiasm, she’s sure to expand your social circle and make new friends wherever you go.
Other tips and tidbits: Crystal was found as a stray so we have absolutely no history on her. We celebrate her birthday 8/22/21.
Do you have acreage? We've not done a DNA test, but Crystal has "herding/protecting" all over her personality. We think she'd love to live on a small farm, far away from the lights and sirens and fences and all the trappings of suburbia. She would prefer the country life where she can be free to protect what she feels like is hers.
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.
