Story
**Please take a moment to read the bio in full before reaching out—this helps us respond quickly and efficiently.** Gabbi MUST have another dog in her new home. Meet Gabriella aka Gabbi! Breed: standard poodle, she is on the smaller side. Age: est 2.5 years. Weight: est 37lbs. Training: crate, leash, and house trained. Good with other dogs/cats? Yes to both. In fact, we believe she needs another dog in her new home. Good with adults/kids? Yes. Personality: Gabriella may be a little shy and reserved when you first meet her, but it doesn’t take long at all for her true personality to shine. Once she feels safe, she blossoms into a playful, affectionate girl who loves being around her people. She adores other dogs, does great with cats, and is wonderful with kids. Gabriella came to us from a breeder where she didn’t get many chances to experience everyday life. She is crate trained, leash trained, and doing very well with house training. Gabriella is still discovering the world and would thrive in a patient, loving home that can continue helping her build confidence and experience all the good things life has to offer. If you’re looking for a sweet soul who will grow into an incredibly loyal and loving companion, Gabriella may be your perfect match. Gabbi finds comfort in other dogs. She needs another dog in her new home. Reason for rescue: breeder retiring. She was adopted and recently returned due to needing another dog in her new home. She is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations and preventatives. If interested in adding this sweet girl to your family, please message for an adoption application! Adoption fee: $350. Please note: With limited foster homes and many dogs waiting for rescue, we are unable to place dogs on hold. Approved adopters must be ready to move forward. We welcome out-of-state adopters but do not offer transport, and an in-person meet and greet before adoption at the foster’s home is required. Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescue pet!May 17, 2026, 8:18 pm

Story
**Please take a moment to read the bio in full before reaching out—this helps us respond quickly and efficiently.** Meet Toby! Age: est 1.5 years old. Breed: labradoodle. Size: est 76lbs. Training: Crate, leash, and house trained. Good with dogs/cats? Yes to dogs. In fact, we believe she would do best with another dog in her new home. Unsure about cats, will have to cat test. Good with kids/men/women? Yes. Personality: he can be shy/submissive at first, but he warms up to be friendly, affectionate, and playful. Reason for rescue: owner release, not enough time. The family had an accidental litter and kept 2 of the puppies. Life changes and they felt the dogs needed more than they can offer them. One special thing about Toby, he was born with a cleft lip ❤️ It does not affect him at all. It’s simply part of what makes him unique and handsome! He eats, plays, and lives life just like any other happy pup. Toby doesn’t know he is any different, he just knows he wants love, treats, and a family to call his own. He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on all vaccinations and preventatives. If you are interested in adding this sweetheart to your family, please message us to request an adoption application. Adoption fee: $350. Please note: With limited foster homes and many dogs waiting for rescue, we are unable to place dogs on hold. Approved adopters must be ready to move forward. We welcome out-of-state adopters but do not offer transport, and an in-person meet and greet before adoption at the foster’s home is required.

Complete an application at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application   Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet, SC Weight: 57 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $699  Fence needed? Yes, Cooper loves playing around outside! Want To Know More About Me? Text Cooper to 864-441-9075 for my full story and photos - we'll send everything you need to know! Here's Your Quick Peek: Cooper is a beautiful 3-year-old Standard Poodle with a gentle soul and a bright personality just waiting to shine. At first, Cooper presents as soft, thoughtful, and a bit reserved as he takes in the world around him. He likes to observe, assess, and feel safe before fully settling in - but once he does, his true personality comes out.  Please note - if you want to skip the text and go straight to the application, you can find the link here: www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application/ Must have: A home with another friendly dog would be ideal for Cooper (not necessary but highly beneficial), a family that wants to walk and hike! Cooper loves walks and water!  Exercise: High. Cooper is bouncy, happy and playful when he is comfortable. He'd love to be a hiking companion. Best with: A dedicated family that will spend time with Cooper and give him a loving home! Not ideal for: We think Cooper would fit into many homes given time and patience to settle. Energy level: Once he is comfortable, Cooper is high energy. In his early days in your home, he may seem much lower energy than what he is. Cooper is looking for a calm, stable, and predictable home where he can settle in at his own pace.  Good with dogs: Yes, though he prefers dogs that match his chill energy. He does not want to be another dog's jungle gym.  Good with kids: We think with time Cooper would be comfortable with older children. 12+ Cats: Yes. Fun fact: Cooper is a hiking companion and once he trusts you, he is great off leash! Potential Adopters   Dogs can’t drive - and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either!
