Boxer puppies and dogs in Gaffney, South Carolina

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 the CPR Adoption team   Date into Rescue: 09/18/24 Reason for being in rescue: found as a stray by a volunteer  Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Leoni is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Leoni is working on her potential; she is starting basic training and exposure to everyday life. She is learning how to walk on a leash, basic skills, and muzzle training. (Muzzle training is great for any dog to learn)  Weight: 65 lbs Height: 23 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $200 Fence needed? Yes, Leoni requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller What kind of home would be best for me? Leoni is looking for a home that adores her for her. She is opinionated and prefers to be the queen bee of the house. She does not believe she should have to share her throne. No other animal companions are needed for Leoni, she wants to be the only gal! Leoni is the type of dog who wants to go on adventures, she loves to see the world and is always up for a car ride! Leoni wants you to know her favorite person of all time is of Italian descent; she likes her humans to have that Italian spice! Seriously Leoni prefers humans of the European culture! Leoni wants a house with a screened-in porch so she can watch life go by daily! Leoni loves to sunbathe and is very polite when watching other caregivers go by her yard, she is quiet and just enjoys people-watching. Leoni would be appropriate for older children. She is a snuggle bug so expect her to be all over the kids! What is my personality like? Leoni is all things loving and playful! She is always in bright spirits and enjoys being the center of attention! Leoni loves to be involved in the action, she is the type of dog to hog all the attention when your mom comes to visit! Leoni loves to wrestle and tussle with her humans, she rolls around in the grass as a running start to her zoomies, and she loves to explore the yards with the silliest smiles on her face. She loves toys and of often seen snuggling with her toys. Leoni gives off a momma dog vibe, she takes care of her toys like they are her children. She walks moderately well on leash, sometimes she gets a little too excited and needs to refocus on the task at hand! Leoni is working on her potential; she is starting basic training and exposure to everyday life. She is learning how to walk on a leash, basic skills, and muzzle training. (Muzzle training is great for any dog to learn)  How do I act when I first meet new people?  Leoni has a big personality and greets her humans with the happiest demeanor.    Other tips and tidbits: We are estimating Leoni's birthday to be 09/22/22 making her about 2 years old. She was found as a stray so there is no real way to confirm her exact age. We do know she acts immature and young!  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. November 7, 2024, 5:01 pm

Meet Georgia - your new best friend and the ultimate package deal! This adorable girl is friendly, affectionate, loyal, playful, smart, curious, funny, and loves kisses. She's athletic and ready to go on walks or runs, but can also be a total couch potato and just wants to snuggle. If you're looking for a dog who's both a protector and gentle as can be, you've found your girl! Georgia is eager to please and food motivated, so she's easy to train and will learn your commands in no time. This girl is the complete package - what are you waiting for? Come meet Georgia and fall in love! More about Georgia! Age: approx 2 years Breed: boxer/pit bull mix is our best guess. Size: approx 35-40lbs. Training: leash trained, crate trained, doing great with housetraining. She knows sit and down, and is eager to please. Good with dogs/cats? Yes to dogs, she lived with cats previously and did fine, but we will re-test if a potential home has cats. Good with men/women/kids? Georgia can be shy/reserved when meeting new people/new situations, but she warms up to be very loyal and friendly! She is very food motivated! Personality: Georgia is playful, friendly, and loving. She is very loyal. Georgia was rescued from a kill shelter after being surrendered by her owner's ex. We recently were contacted by the original owner who had been looking for her for a year! She was supposed to be returned to her original owner but after holding her a few weeks, we haven't heard back :(. Georgia is so deserving of finding her FOREVER home! She would do best with a fenced yard or a place to run off leash. She does fine on the leash, but when on a leash, she makes a hacking sound when it pushes on her throat. We walk her on a harness when necessary but haven't found one that doesn't press on the throat area. After a visit to our vet, our vet believes Georgia has scar tissue in her throat from something in her past. It doesn't affect her at all but because of this, we believe a fenced yard or a safe area to run off leash is best for her. The previous owner said she has always done this but it hasn't affected her. Reason for rescue: rescued from kill shelter. Georgia is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations and preventatives. If you are interested in adding this sweet baby to your family, please message for an adoption application. Adoption fee: $75.November 4, 2024, 9:24 am

Sweet Bea, a three year old boxer mix, who came to the shelter heart worm positive, with pyometra, and just in bad shape. She was immediately spayed, just finished up her heartworm treatment and is ready to start looking for the family that she so deserves to love her. Bea is very human friendly, loves everyone she meets and loves to play. We would suggest older children since she is very playful and large enough to knock down and accidentally hurt a small child. She does need to be the only dog. She gets aroused around new dogs to the point she turns to aggression. If Bea looks like the girl for you, please read our procedures and fill out the on line application, link attached below. 1. on line application 2. vet and reference check 3. phone call 4. home visit 5 meet and greet 6. adoption We will travel up to two hours to do home checks. We also truly feel the dogs in our rescue have been through enough. We take in those who are injured, abused, neglected, sick, and abandoned. That being said we search for a home that they are never put in that position again and that fits their personality and needs the best. No more hurt or fear. https://cliffordsarmyrescue.com/1423-2/

Meet Sanders. Our sweet boy was found shivering under a bush at a local fast food restaurant in the freezing rain. He was emaciated, full of parasites and just wanted someone to get him out of the cold and take care of him Sanders has gained weight and his vetting is complete. He is not quite a year old, boxer mix, who does fine with other dogs and cats. He is working hard ( and doing well ) on house training. Also working on controlling all his happiness (lol, he is a very very happy boy ) If you think Sanders could be your boy, please take a moment to read our adoption procedures and fill out our on line application. Listed below is our adoption procedures for Clifford’s Army Rescue. We will travel up to two hours ( one way) to do physical home visits and we do not do virtual home visits. Most of our dogs come from bad situations and we want to know where their forever home is going to be. Puppies are very fragile and not toys. We recommend children be at least six years old to be considered to adopt a young puppy. Small breed dogs ( such as chihuahuas, yorkies, shih tzus , etc) we recommend children be at least eight years old. Herding, working breeds we recommend children to be at least 12 years old. While we do not require fencing on all dogs, certain dogs that need a fenced in yard, will not be adopted unless potential adopter has one. We also adopt some dogs to people who live in apartments ( as long as the landlord approves) but not all dogs. We do not adopt to anyone under 21 years of age. We also do not feel college students are the best fit for most of our dogs. Most of our dogs again, come from bad situations and need lots of attention. Most college students have financial responsibilities and we feel need to be focused on school. Our goal is to match the dog with a family that fits the dog’s needs. We are solely focused on what is best for each dog in our rescue. These dogs have had enough moving around, dumped out like trash, and we want to ensure they find their forever home. We do require you sign a contract and if at any time you cannot continue to provide for the dog, the dog comes back to the rescue. Your first step to adoption is filling our our on line application. You will then get an automated email stating we got your application Next our adoption coordinator will be in touch either by phone or email If your references check out, a home visit will be scheduled. After the home visit is done, a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in and/or any other available dogs we have will be scheduled If the dog and you are a match, contract will be signed and you may take your new family member home.
