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:2/14/25 Reason for being in rescue: owner release Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Prince is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Prince has a back knee with a small deformity that he was born with. It does not slow him down. He has a hernia on his stomach. Prince is a shih tzu-poodle mix. Weight: 17 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: unknown Adoption Fee: $349 Fence needed? No, but a fenced yard is a great safety feature for any dog. What kind of home would be best for me? Prince would thrive in a home with a single adopter, a couple, or a family—so long as you can match his energy level! Whether it’s walks, jogs, hikes in the mountains, or trips to the beach, Prince is always ready for an adventure. Just don’t forget his pup cup on the way home! Prince is small enough to adapt to apartment living, as long as he gets regular exercise and trips to the dog park. If his new home has a yard, he’d love it to be fenced so he can burn off all that extra energy. While Prince doesn’t necessarily need another dog, he’d enjoy a playmate, whether that’s a dog or even kids who are as active as he is. What is my personality like? Meet Prince, a high energy, playful six-year-old who’s always ready for fun and expects you to keep up. True to his name, this little guy believes he should be treated like royalty. But don’t worry—he doesn’t need pampering; he needs an active adopter who loves to play! Prince will need some basic training, such as learning down, sit, stay, come, etc. He walks well on a leash but could benefit from some leash training. With treats and praise, he’s a quick learner and will form a strong bond with you in the process. Prince is a playful, energetic bundle of joy. He loves playing with both other dogs and people and is always up for fun! If you’re looking for an active, loving companion, Prince is the perfect match.  How do I act when I first meet new people? Hi! Let’s play! Prince is excited to meet anyone and prefers playtime over pets at first, but once he’s done playing, he’s ready to curl up and enjoy some cuddle time. Other tips and tidbits: Prince was born on or about 2/16/2019. 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. February 19, 2025, 10:04 am

Missy is a 9 year old Shitzu mixed with Maltese. Missy is very loving, smart I know everyone says their dog is smart but no Missy is very smart she should be a police dog. I want Missy to be in a home where someone is with her most of the day and is able to give her the attention she deserves.
