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

A255615
Date into Rescue: 11/23/2024
Reason for being in rescue: Kiki was found as a stray and landed at a NC shelter. CPR pulled her from the shelter.
Foster location: Foster Home in Raleigh, NC
Special Needs? Kiki is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Because Kiki as found as a stray, we don't know what her breed mix is. Our best guess is a shih tzu / yorkie / poodle mix. We cannot guarantee that she is hypoallergenic or that she won't shed. If you have allergy concerns, she is not your dog.
Weight: 9 lbs
Height: 12 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $399
Fence needed? No, but she'd love one!
What kind of home would be best for me? Kiki is looking for a very specific home.... You must be home more than you are away. Our ideal is someone that works from home, is an early retiree, or home schools. You must have another dog in the home (big or small Kiki loves them all). And if you have kids they need to be at least 6 as Kiki is on the smaller size. Mostly, we're looking for a home that wants a best friend.
What is my personality like? Kiki is the definition of love and loyalty in one happy, small body. Whatever life was before being found as a stray, she was clearly love. Kiki is the bestest girl you will ever meet. She is great with dogs of all sizes, indifferent to cats, and really just wants to give her heart to someone. Kiki sleeps in the bed in her foster home, pressed as closely against her foster dad as she can get. She prefers to sit on his lap during the day while he works, with regular pauses for a good play session with her toys. She's the perfect canine best friend!
How do I act when I first meet new people? Kiki loves EVERYONE! She thinks new faces are new friends and is happy to meet you.
Other tips and tidbits: Kiki was found as a stray so we have no history on her. Based on her overall health and condition she is estimated at 1 year old. We celebrate her birthday 11/23/23.
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.
