Story
Gizmo is an 8-year-old, 10 lb. Shih Tzu. Gizmo is absolutely adorable! He will draw you in with his beautiful markings and adorable "puppy eyes". Gizmo is a great little guy who loves lounging around with his foster dog siblings and playing with them in the yard. He hopes his new family has a doggie friend too! He is a calm guy and follows the energy of the house and other dogs, so if everyone is ready to go outside, so is Gizmo! When everyone is ready to relax, Gizmo is too! Because he came to us very skinny and hungry, he is always excited for his next meal or treats. Gizmo is a gentleman and can be left alone at home without a crate, he has not had an accident in the house and is fully potty-trained. He does get a little sad when his foster mom leaves the house, but he is all smiles and quietly and patiently waiting for her when she gets home! Who wouldn't want to come home to that sweet face? Gizmo also loves walks and he absolutely loves being around his humans! He would happily cuddle on the couch with you and be your best friend. If Gizmo sounds like your type of guy, apply to meet him today! Gizmo is undergoing a few tests for an unknown condition and is currently on Denamarin. This may be temporary or life-long and the rescue will post an update when known. Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. To ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application. As part of our commitment to responsible adoption practices, we require excellent veterinarian references and conduct virtual home visits. Additionally, your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We provide transportation by both land and air whenever feasible. All assessments regarding breed and age are conducted by licensed veterinarians. We look forward to assisting you in finding your perfect canine companion!November 20, 2024, 2:39 pm

Story
Hello good friends. My name is Oscar and I`m a shy little guy in need of some TLC in a forever home. While I`m shy at first, I warm up quickly when you talk to me in a gentle voice. I love affection and I`ll climb into your lap for my midday snoozes once I trust you. I hope my forever home will have lots of little sweaters and a big fluffy bed for me! I currently weight ~10 lbs but I need to gain some weight to look and feel my best - please speak with your veterinarian about an appropriate weight-gain plan for me.How did I get here? Transferred from Wake County Animal Center where I was brought as a stray. ~My adoption fee is $120.00.~

Meet Mila and Mason – A Special Bonded Pair Looking for Their Perfect Home! Mila and Mason are two of the sweetest pups you’ll ever meet. Despite coming from a challenging start, they are full of love, snuggles, and hope for a bright future together. This bonded pair shares an incredible connection and needs to be adopted as a duo. About Mila and Mason:Mila has a bit more mobility than Mason and is quite the determined little lady—she pulls herself along like a champion in an adorable army crawl and even makes her way to the pee pads when she needs to potty. Mason, on the other hand, finds movement a bit tougher, but he gives it his best effort with a little help and wears a belly band for added support. What Makes Them Special: Built-In Best Friends: Mila and Mason keep each other entertained and are a source of comfort and joy to one another. Amazing Snugglers: They love to cuddle up, whether it’s with each other or with their favorite humans. Easy Daily Care: Their care routine is straightforward. Each morning involves a quick clean-up, putting on Mason’s belly band, some snuggles, and feeding. During the day, a few minutes of stretching for Mason helps keep him comfortable. No Major Medical Needs: While they have limited mobility, Mila and Mason are not on any expensive medications and don’t require major medical procedures in the foreseeable future. Daily Life with Mila and Mason:These two love spending time with their people and enjoy fresh air outside. Their personalities are shining brighter every day as they grow more comfortable and confident. They adore other dogs and find joy in snuggling whenever they can. While their bodies may not allow them to move like typical pups, Mila and Mason are mentally sharp, curious, and full of life. They deserve a loving home that sees them for who they are—wonderful, resilient, and endlessly lovable. If you’re ready to open your heart to this special pair and give them the long, happy life they deserve, they will reward you with endless love and devotion. We are only charging one adoption fee for both pups to ensure they go and stay together. Please apply at pipsrescue.org/adopt and it you have questions please email nicole.k@pipsrescue.org ##2217864##

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: 10/21/24 Reason for being in rescue: breeder release to a local groomer who partnered with CPR to find Hansel his best forever home Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Hansel is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Weight: 17 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No, but Hansel would love to go to a home with a fenced in yard "so I can burn off some of my Shih Tzu energy with some zoomies!"  It's not required but is suggested.  If you do not have a fenced in yard, you need to watch him carefully and never let him off leash.  He will turn into a ramblin' man.  Also watch doors.  He likes to go through them to see what is on the other side.   What kind of home would be best for me?  Hansel gets along with every living creature he encounters. He will tell you, “Whether it’s people, dogs, or even cats, I’m friendly and easygoing. I may bark a little when I first see someone or another animal, but don’t worry – it’s just my way of saying, ‘Hey, I’m here!’ It’s more of a friendly, defensive bark rather than an aggressive one. If another dog or cat gets too close too quickly, I’ll likely turn tail and run.  I’m definitely a lover, not a fighter! But if I can't run, I'll stand my ground and let everybody know I'm "da man."   Hansel would not mind being the only dog in your home so he could receive all the attention and loving. He loves sitting next to you and will happily accompany you on any trips you make, to the store, the cafe, or simply a drive down the road. This loving little boy wants nothing more than to be with his own human at all times. Oh, and BELLY RUBS! The little dude really wants belly rubs, they just may be his favorite thing in the world.  While he can be an only dog, he says "if you already have a dog, that’s okay too. I’d love to have a canine buddy to play with!" Hansel’s size will allow him to adapt seamlessly into either an apartment or house. He would also be fine whether his adopter was a single person, a couple, or a family. He has only lived in a female-only home. He has had no exposure to children.  What is my personality like?  Say hello to handsome little Hansel, a Shih Tzu that’s soon to be your best friend!  This lovable little guy is looking for a second chance at a forever home after being surrendered by his previous owner. Hansel says, “I don’t quite understand why I’m not in a home anymore – I’m just a good boy who wants to love and be loved. Now I’m hoping to find a family where I can settle in and live my best life!” Hansel is a lover not a fighter. He’s an affectionate, curious little guy who loves getting attention and cuddles. Hansel gets along great with other animals – though tends to be cautious around cats. The little guy says, “I’d love to play with them, but I’m smart enough to know they have claws. If you have a cat, we can definitely get along, as long as your kitty is okay with me!” Hansel is just a curious little guy that can’t understand why he doesn’t have a home any longer. He loves his caregivers and the other dogs here but longs to have his own home and family once more.  If you are looking for a devoted happy little guy who is full of happiness and joy, and dedicated to being your constant companion, Hansel is the little man for you. Come make his dreams, and yours, come true today. Hansel recently met a 3 year old human and thought "this one is cool."   How do I act when I first meet new people? Hansel is always excited for the love and affection people give him. He loves being loved on, being petted, sitting with you on the couch or chair, and he loves belly rubs. Handsome Hansel is just a loving little guy! Other tips and tidbits: Hansel was born on 09/25/20. 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. 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 19, 2024, 9:04 am
