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

Adoption Fee: $599
Fence needed? Yes - Calliope requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. Calliope is going to be a large standard. She needs the security of a fenced in yard.
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, Calliope could be adopted to a home where she 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.
What is my personality like? Calliope is a delightful and loving female Standard Poodle puppy. She is a beautiful, young dog in search of her second chance she’s been waiting for! This sweet girl has a heart full of life and would be suitable for any type of family and would also do well with children in the home. Calliope is a young puppy, but Poodle’s are very intelligent and empathetic so we believe it will be no issue to train and understand this playful sweetheart!
Calliope is a growing, playful dog; therefore, she would benefit most from a family who is active and plans to provide endless adventures for this girl. It will be vital to her future and development to give her the socialization and training she deserves to reach her full potential.
Calliope is an energetic girl, as previously stated and she will also require a fenced in yard to ensure she gets all that puppy energy out of her system, and to allow her plenty of exercise to maintain her health & weight as well. Calliope is learning things like simple commands, potty training, and leash skills here at the farm and she is making great progress and doing extremely well. Calliope LOVES squirrels and is always up for the chase. Given this, we don't recommend a home with cats for her. She is and will make an amazing dog!
Calliope is good with all types of people and dogs, and she will require another large breed, confident dog in the home to keep her company! She is eager to please and easy to entertain! We have no doubt this girl will do go on to do big things and steal anybody’s heart she comes in contact with! She is a resilient girl who doesn’t mind hanging out at the farm, but she’s ready to share her endless love an energy with your family!
How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly
Other tips and tidbits: Calliope was born on 05/15/24. She has a beautiful, natural tail!
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.
