Miniature Poodle puppies and dogs in North 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: 10/11/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Bean was found as a stray in NC and landed at a shelter Foster location: Foster Home in Rocky Mount, NC Special Needs? Bean is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Bean was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on him. He is not hypoallergenic and will shed. Weight: 10.2 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $499 Fence needed? No, but he would love one. What kind of home would be best for me? To quote Taylor Swift, if Bean sang he would whisper "I just want you". This sweet boy is looking for a person or family. Humans that won't let him go. Humans that are home more than they are away and want a loyal sidekick. Bean lives happily with other dogs in his foster home, but he could take them or leave them. He'd be happy as your only companion.  Bean has 2 non-negotiables in his forever home. First, you must be home more than you are away (or take your pup with you). And second, you must want a dog snuggled up against you in the bed at night. Bean has never been tested with large dogs or cats - his foster home has neither. He hasn't been exposed to children, though has a demeanor that we believe would be well suited to children over 10. What is my personality like? Bean is a miniature poodle mix who was found as a stray, but what he’s searching for now is simple and clear - his person. More than anything else in the world, Bean just wants to be with you. Bean does well with other small dogs and can happily coexist in a multi-dog home, but he’d be just as content being your one and only, soaking up all the love and attention for himself. Bean bonds deeply and loves nothing more than knowing he belongs. Bean enjoys playing with toys and will happily entertain himself, but when the day winds down, he wants to be right where you are. At night, Bean sleeps snuggled up next to you in bed, perfectly content as long as he’s close. Bean would thrive in a home that values connection, companionship, and the quiet joy of having a dog who truly lives for his person. How do I act when I first meet new people? Bean is a gentle boy. Give him a few moments to warm up and he'll be your best friend. Other tips and tidbits: Bean was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 2 years old. We celebrate his birthday 10/11/2023. 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. December 25, 2025, 10:01 am

Apricot is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Apricot was surrendered by her owners. No information was provided; we have no history on her pre-rescue. Our best estimate is that Apricot is a poodle mix. We cannot guarantee that she is hypoallergenic or that she won't shed. Weight: 11.5 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $499 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Apricot is an easy dog. Easy to love. Easy to get attached to. Easy to live with. She would love if you were home during the day but understands if you need to work. She will be fine with your dogs or equally happy as your one and only. She enjoys a fenced yard but has spent too much time outdoors in her early years and is fine being leash walked. Her only requirements - a heart that will love her completely and a home that will let her sleep in the bed. These are not up for discussion. What is my personality like? Apricot is a toy poodle mix who found herself surrendered to a rural shelter after a life spent mostly outdoors - a pet, but without the comforts that should come with being one. Despite a less-than-ideal start, this gentle girl has blossomed into a sweet, loving companion who is more than ready for her glow-up. Apricot is happily independent. She enjoys people and being near them, but she doesn’t need constant handling or attention to feel secure. She’s perfectly content playing with her toys on her own and appreciates affection on her terms. She currently lives in foster care with other small dogs and is politely indifferent - not rude, just happy doing her own thing. She hasn’t been tested with cats yet. Apricot rides well in the car and is an excellent travel companion. When the day winds down, her softer side shines. Apricot loves to snuggle close at night, sleeping peacefully beside her person. This lovely girl has done her time being overlooked. She’s ready now to be someone’s pampered princess, enjoying the comfort, love, and safety she’s always deserved. If you’re looking for a calm, gentle companion with a quietly loving heart, Apricot may be your perfect match.  How do I act when I first meet new people? Apricot is polite and gentle with new faces. She will not bound toward you, preferring a tempered approach. Other tips and tidbits: We have no information on Apricot pre-rescue. Based on her overall health and condition she is estimated at 3 years old. We celebrate her birthday 09/28/2022. House trained?

(DOB 11/17/2019) Finneas is a tiny gentleman with a huge heart and a whole lot of personality! This slightly older poodle mix (possibly a Maltipoo!) is weighing in at a wooping 9 lbs and is packed with spunk, sweetness, and cuddles. Finneas is always happy and wants nothing more than to be near his person and is truly a tiny shadow who would love tagging along everywhere. A baby carrier or sling? Yes, please! He’s the perfect “take-anywhere” companion. Finneas enjoys the company of another dog and would be happy to join a family with another, sweet 4-legged sibling. He likes to have company if you need to step out without him. In addition, he truly has never met a stranger. He loves everyone!! So much so, and if you don’t act fast, he just might leave with the Amazon or UPS guy! One little point of interest, Finneas is a toothless wonder! The no “teefer” situation doesn’t slow him down one bit! He will happily eat anything he can get into his mouth, so he’ll need a tidy home without small toys or dropped items. Extra care should be taken with vitamins or medications left within reach. Had fun and belly is full, and it’s time to relax, this little floof turns into a world-class snuggler curling up on you, beside you, or even behind your head for a cozy nap. Bonus: he’s an excellent sleeper. Because Finneas wants to be with you at all times, he can be a bit under-foot so something to keep in mind with this devoted little companion. He’s currently re-learning proper potty habits (proud belly-band wearer), travels wonderfully in a secure car seat, and does best when leashed so he doesn’t try to jump around. If you’re a homebody or want your pup with you 24/7; Finneas would absolutely flourish as your constant sidekick. He is ready to bestow all of his love and sweetnees on you. Going forward every day will be better with Finneas in it! As part of Finneas’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this adorable pup, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Finneas, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org. ##2594174##

Penny is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 11/12/25 Penny had a dental with 4 extractions. She also had a deep ear cleaning. Weight: 14 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $825 for Penny and Cindy together - they are a team and we will not split them up Fence needed? Not necessarily although neither are super on a leash just yet.  If adopted to a non fenced home, it would take some time and patience.  Both are busy girls when in the yard and love the freedom of a fenced in space.  First preference will be given to single family fenced in yards but to the right person. we can discuss a non fenced in area. What kind of home would be best for me?  Penny and Cindy are looking for a home where they can live peacefully together. They are a bonded pair, always looking for each other.  They would not be happy without each other.  Please do not ask if we can split them up.  The shelter that sent them to us specifically requested they be together and after 30 days of observation, we absolutely agree.  They need each other.   The nice thing about a bonded pair is, if you work all day, they have each other for company. They do not need someone home all the time. They are perfectly content playing poodley girl games while you are away and once your home, it'll be a lap sandwich with one on each side of you in the recliner.  They love people and want one of their own but they have each other, too.  Penny and Cindy are sweet, gregarious girls who are looking for a home together.  They get along great with other dogs and would do well with companions or with just the two of them.  What is my personality like?  Penny is the leader of the small pack of two. She bosses Cindy around but she is also constantly checking on Cindy and making sure she knows where her bestie is at.   Penny is strong and active. She loves to be at her people's feet and when you are home, you'll have two tiny satellites surrounding you and checking in what you are doing.  Penny especially is a "door dasher" - the minute a door opens, she is through it and can't wait to see what is on the other side.  If the door closes, she can bounce up a good 3' trying to see what she can see and convince you to open that door.   Both girls are good in the car although we do have them riding in their crate for safety.  Speaking of crates, Penny and Cindy currently sleep together in a medium size crate. They keep it very clean at night.  We can't guarantee house training, so our suggestion is a crate in your bedroom for the first 30 days, then transition to you bed if you want.  We think they would enjoy night time snuggles very much once they know your routine. Penny and Cindy also are very obviously trained to pee pads.  We use washable ones here and if the door is not open fast enough, they are sprinting for the nearest pee pad to do business especially first thing.  I know some people do not like pee pads in the house but these two have obviously used one their entire lives.  It means you have to be careful with having throw rugs because they look like pee pads to a dog.  To us, it's a blessing to have a dog trained to pads.   How do I act when I first meet new people?  Very friendly and if your in a chair, you'll very soon have two bundles of poodle in your lap.  Make room - they will both be up there.   Other tips and tidbits: Penny is estimated at 7 years old. We celebrate her birthday 09/23/2018. House trained?

Cindy is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 11/12/25 Cindy had oral surgery to remove 2 teeth. She also had a professional ear cleaning. Our veterinarian noted that Cindy has Grade 1 bilateral MPL. Surgery is not recommended at this time. If she needs orthopedic surgery in the future, this will be the responsibility of her new owner. Weight: 10 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $825 for Penny and Cindy together - they are a team and we will not split them up.  Don't ask.  It's not happening.   Fence needed? Not necessarily although neither are super on a leash just yet.  If adopted to a non-fenced home, it would take some time and patience.  Both are busy girls when in the yard and love the freedom of a fenced in space.  First preference will be given to single family fenced in yard home but to the right person. we can discuss a non-fenced in home.

Slightly smaller and with a bum knee, she is not as physically active as her sister - but that is not by much.  She can run and play with no issues at all, we just find that she lets Penny take the lead and both of them are happy that way.  Cindy does not bounce at the door like Penny does. She waits for Penny to convince you to open the door, then merrily saunters in looking for love and affection.   Both girls are good in the car although we do have them riding in their crate for safety.  Speaking of crates, Penny and Cindy currently sleep together in a medium size crate.

We celebrate her birthday 09/23/2018. Please note, we were told Cindy and Penny are purebred miniature poodles. They look like it and they act like it but we do not have pedigrees. We will not guarantee complete non shedding.  They do not shed here.  Their beds are always clean and their hair is growing at a normal poodle rate but we can not guarantee you they are 100% hypoallergenic.  They did not come with papers.
