Story
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:10/7/2024 Reason for being in rescue: Found as a stray Foster location: Foster Home in Raleigh, NC Special Needs? Carlos is up to date on vaccines for his age. His mom Misty is a beautiful white miniature poodle. His dad is a man of mystery. He has a curly, soft coat, but his DNA is unknown. Given this, we cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic or that he won't shed. Weight: 2 lbs and growing - we expect Carlos will be between 12-15 lbs when full grown Height: 6 in and growing - we expect Carlos will be between 12-14 inches when full grown Spayed/Neutered: No, Carlos is too small and young to be neutered. He will be adopted on a spay/neuter addendum requiring you to neuter him at your cost within 9 months and provide proof of neuter. Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No, though a fenced yard is a great safety feature for any dog. 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! Carlos requires a home with another small dog. He will not be adopted to a home with a large do - he is simply too small. What is my personality like? What a story little Carlos has! He, his mom Misty, and his 3 siblings were found in a cardboard box in a dumpster in the middle of Hurricane Helene by a very alert truck driver. Thankfully she recognized that there were lives at stake, rescued them into safety, and reached out to rescue to see if she could drive them to us. What a gift! Carlos is a happy, active puppy. Like the classic middle child, he's pretty chill and go with the flow. He loves to play and loves to be held, but is happy to wait his turn. Carlos 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. No Large Dogs. These puppies are simply too small. Kids are great - but they need to have lived with small dogs before and be over 8. And finally, we really, really want another small dog in the home, if you don't have one, please describe your plan for socialization with OTHER DOGS as described above. How do I act when I first meet new people? Rico is a baby. He loves everyone and thinks all laps are his. Other tips and tidbits: Rico was found as a baby, so we have no history on him. Based on his overall condition we celebrate his birthday 09/09/2024. He is a baby. 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 25, 2024, 3:53 pm
