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

Date into Rescue:11/5/24
Reason for being in rescue: Breeder release
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Hudson is up to date on vaccines for his age. He is not neutered due to age and size. Hudson is an Australian Shepherd / Standard Poodle mix. We will never guarantee that a poodle is hypoallergenic or that they won't shed. If you have allergy concerns, Hudson is not your dog.
Weight: 25 lbs and growing - we expect Hudson will be between 45-50 lbs pounds when full grown.
Height: 18 in and growing - we expect Hudson will be between 22-24 inches when full grown.
Spayed/Neutered: No. Hudson will be adopted on a spay/neuter addendum that requires you to neuter him within 12 months at your cost and provide proof of neuter.
Adoption Fee: $599
Fence needed? Yes, Hudson is going to be a large dog. He requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller.
What kind of home would be best for me? Puppies are active, agile little babies, they need homes that are ready to tire them out both mentally and physically. What matters most to a puppy is a happy and excited owner ready to take on loving and training their new puppy! While our ideal home for puppies has another young dog in it, Hudson could be adopted to a home where he is the only dog as long as there is a solid plan for regular socialization a minimum of 4 times per week.
Socialization occurs when dogs are off leash and free to be themselves, unencumbered by human restraints (other than the fence that keeps them safely contained). Socialization times would be for instance, inviting a neighbor or friend over with their dog to play in your fenced yard or going to someone else’s home to play in their fence yard. Socialization time could be doggy daycare. Socialization time could be a group walk if you include a playtime at the end of it. Training classes do not always include socialization time. Some puppy classes do include a period of time at the end where the dogs can romp and play together. This would be perfectly acceptable. Time can also take place inside the home, it does not have to be an outdoor area, as long as the dogs are free to interact with each other without leashes or other restraints.
When raised around cats, with proper boundaries, puppies do very well. If you expect your puppy to get alone with your feline buddy, it’s important to start socializing the puppy with the cat as soon as you can!
What is my personality like? Gentle, Charming, Eager-to-Please! It doesn’t take this sweet boy long to open up and immediately crawl into your lap for cuddles! He is an extremely gentle and considerate puppy who loves to follow in his siblings’ lead. Hudson enjoys playing outside with toys and other dogs, but he loves nothing more than human attention and affection. He can be a little shy upon meeting new strangers, but if you’re gentle and patient he will open right up! He is a very smart boy who is picking up onto things quickly, but he will still need more socialization as he grows up! He gets along great with all other dogs and would be the ideal family dog!
How do I act when I first meet new people? I'm a puppy, I LOVE everybody! Hudson can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience he opens right up.
Other tips and tidbits: Hudson was born 6/17/24
House trained? 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.
