Carolina Poodle Rescue pulled him from the shelter  Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Rocky is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.  Weight: 15.5 lbs Height: 14 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $200 Fence needed? No, but he would enjoy one What kind of home would be best for me? Rocky is a very loyal and protective companion, but Rocky also has some strong opinions, and one of them is very clear: He does not trust men and is NOT a fan of their company. For this reason, he's looking for a home where he can feel safe, loved and more importantly understood. Rocky is the perfect companion for a patient, confident woman who appreciates a dog with just a little spice! What can we say - this boy is all chihuahua! Because Rocky has such a strong personality, he will need to be placed with a dog-savy adopter who has experience with dogs like Rocky or is familiar with the breed and their quirks. Rocky's ideal home is a single, female adopter with no children or men in the home. He does not mind other dogs, and we think he would enjoy having another dog around, but it is not required. Rocky would also love to have a small fenced in yard as well, but it is not required as long as his adopter plans to give him plenty of walks, exercise and playtime! Most importantly, Rocky needs someone who is willing to respect his boundaries and accept his quirks.  What is my personality like? Rocky and his 3 children were surrendered by their owners to a NC animal shelter. No reason was given. Maybe they were puppies that didn't sell. There was no mama dog with the family. Regardless, we are thankful they are with us. Meet Rocky! A spunky chocolate boy with a big personality packed into his tiny frame! He's a feisty, independent boy who is a true sweetheart — if you're the right person. Rocky is very intelligent and does great with potty training and basic manners. Once Rocky trusts you, he becomes your shadow. He will follow you around the house, snuggle up on your couch and protect you from any potential intruders! He's the epitome of all things Chihuahua! He loves squeaky toys, yummy treats and basking in the sun ... Rocky deserves a human who sees his quirks as unique traits instead of challenges. If you're a woman who's looking for an independent, adorable, sassy and endlessly entertaining companion, Rocky is ready to give you his whole heart — on his terms of course. How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly Other tips and tidbits: Rocky is estimated at 6 years old. We celebrate his birthday 06/29/2018. 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.

Gilbert is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.  Weight: 10.2 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $349 Fence needed? No, but a fence is a great safety feature for any dog. What kind of home would be best for me? Gilbert would adapt well to a variety of living situations, whether it’s a house or apartment so long as he gets extended play time outside. Gilbert will do well with a single person, a couple, or a family. Gilbert will not be adopted to families with children younger than five years old. Gilbert’s life has always been filled with other dogs. From the start it was his brothers and now it is the variety pack that lives in the house here at the farm with him. He would do well in a home with another dog to model his behavior after. If you do not have another dog, Gilbert needs a solid plan for play and socialization with other dogs.  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. If you’re looking for an adventurous, happy-go-lucky pup who’ll be by your side for all of life’s fun moments, Gilbert is your guy! He’ll bring smiles, playfulness, and unconditional love into your life. Come meet this sweet boy and see for yourself why everyone calls him “Mr. Happy Feet!” What is my personality like? Say hello to Gilbert, or as his caregivers call him, Mr. Happy Feet. Gilbert is a joyful little puppy looking for his forever home. He was surrendered to an animal shelter with his two brothers after the passing of his owner. Now he’s ready to find a loving family to share his infectious happiness with! Gilbert is a true social butterfly! He’s friendly, playful, and loves everyone he meets, both people and dogs. His signature move - his little dance-like strut when he walks – it’s like he’s always in a good mood and ready to spread some joy. He’s also quite vocal and seems to “talk” back when you chat with him. Whether he’s prancing around or snuggling up for a nap, Gilbert is always a bundle of happiness in motion! This little guy is a puppy so he will need a lot of training. He’ll need to be taught to walk on a leash, he’ll need taught all his basic commands, and he’ll need a strict potty schedule, so he’ll learn to do his business outside. His adopter cannot be away from home for more than four hours per day. You must provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day and night. Gilbert is a young boy and needs play breaks as well as frequent and consistent potty times to aid in potty training. He thrives on attention, companionship, and frequent breaks to help with his potty training. Gilbert is a puppy and has all the qualities one associates with puppies, he’s happy, playful, loving, and untrained.  How do I act when I first meet new people? Hi! Love me and play with me and be my best friend, ok! That’s Gilbert. Other tips and tidbits: There was no information or records found on the scene when Gilbert was seized by animal control.  Our staff and the shelter vet have estimated his birthdate to be on or about 12/27/23 based on teeth and overall behavior. 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.

Kate is up to date on vaccines for her age. We know that Kate is part chihuahua. We don't know what she is mixed with, only that she is 100% cuteness. She is absolutely not hypoallergenic and does shed.  Weight: 4 lbs and growing - we estimate Kate will be between 15-18 lbs when full grown Height: 6 in and growing - we estimate Kate will be about 12 inches when full grown Spayed/Neutered: No - Based on her age and size she is not spayed and will not be spayed prior to adoption. She will be adopted on a spay/neuter addendum that requires you to spay her within 9 months at your cost and provide proof of spay. Adoption Fee: $299 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Kate requires a home with another small, active dog for socialization and play. A person scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and can provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day and night is a must. She is a baby and needs play breaks as well as frequent and consistent potty times to aid in potty training. If you have children, they need to be older than 7 for this small girl. What is my personality like? Kate and a whole lot of his family members were seized in a hoarding case after the owners of the home he was in overdosed. To say that he was born into filth, clutter and chaos would be an understatement. Thankfully, he did not live in these conditions for very long and is learning quickly that clean living conditions, plenty of food and water and lots of loving caregiving are a good thing. Kate is the sassiest of the siblings. She’s always up for adventure and exploring - always looking for trouble because she’s so adventurous and curious it sometimes leads to mischief - but it’s not mischief to her. Of all the pups she is the most drawn to people. She is the leader. Just a curious and intelligent little girl who learns more with each passing day. The photos seem to show the opposite of what her personality is. PUPPY POLICY: Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family. Puppies can be a joyous experience, but they can also be a tremendous amount of work. Since our goal is to place each of our dogs in forever homes, we are especially cautious with puppies. We like to stress 3 major things when considering a puppy vs. an adult dog: 1) many adult dogs are well bred, well trained dogs who find themselves in rescue through no fault of their own, 2) adult dogs are eager to share their love and bond with their new family, and 3) puppies will always require far more time, energy, and training than an adult dog. Our ideal puppy adopters are: -experienced dog owners with a solid record of excellent vet care of their previous pets -scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and have another canine companion already in the home -stay at home type of people (work at home, home schoolers, retired, etc) How do I act when I first meet new people? Kate LOVES people. She is ready to adventure and ready to do life with you! Other tips and tidbits: There was no information or records found on the scene when Kate was seized by animal control.  Our vets and staff have estimated his birthdate to be 11/22/24 based on teeth and overall behavior.   House trained?

Spencer is a typical puppy - eat, sleep, play, and poop. He is very playful and adventurous but not as adventurous and mischievous as his sister Kate. Spencer enjoys playing with his siblings and with people. He still enjoys the company of his siblings more than people, but he enjoys playing with people too. PUPPY POLICY: Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family. Puppies can be a joyous experience, but they can also be a tremendous amount of work. Since our goal is to place each of our dogs in forever homes, we are especially cautious with puppies. We like to stress 3 major things when considering a puppy vs. an adult dog: 1) many adult dogs are well bred, well trained dogs who find themselves in rescue through no fault of their own, 2) adult dogs are eager to share their love and bond with their new family, and 3) puppies will always require far more time, energy, and training than an adult dog. Our ideal puppy adopters are: -experienced dog owners with a solid record of excellent vet care of their previous pets -scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and have another canine companion already in the home -stay at home type of people (work at home, home schoolers, retired, etc) How do I act when I first meet new people? Spencer is a little nervous at first, but he loves people and is happy to meet you. He'll be really excited to meet your dog! Other tips and tidbits: There was no information or records found on the scene when Spencer was seized by animal control.  Our vets and staff have estimated his birthdate to be 11/22/24 based on teeth and overall behavior.   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. January 22, 2025, 8:46 am
