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: 2/1/2022 Reason for being in rescue: Lovingly surrendered by owners Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Posh is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 02/09/22 Posh had entropion repair on his lower eyelid. He also had a dental polishing and a deep ear cleaning. Posh can be prone to ear infections. Keeping his ears clean is imperative.  Weight: 45 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed? Yes What kind of home would be best for me? Posh is an active dog that has had a lot of change over the last 8 months. He needs stability and patience and continued socialization. Posh is an alpha male and needs an owner that will commit to positive reinforcement training and redirection of behaviors. Posh prefers women to men so an alpha female owner is his ideal home. Posh could live with other dogs (he always has) or be the only dog. Posh is not good with children and will not be placed in a home with children. He requires SLOW introductions to new people. What is my personality like? Posh and his brother Hans were the beloved companions of a single professional. Sadly, significant health challenges made caring for Posh impossible and he was surrendered to rescue to help him find the right forever home.  Posh's owner describes him as a a big, happy love bug - he thinks he is a toy poodle lap dog! He loves to give big hugs and kisses. Posh is not fond of the vet or of grooming but with lots of gentle persuasion it can be managed.  Here is what our caregivers say about this beautiful boy. Posh is a sweet boy that is looking for a mama. The reason I say “mama” is because posh takes direction from women very easily where as he is a little slower to warm up with men. He needs someone that can keep him in line. He is all boy! Posh does well with other dogs; he enjoys the company of dogs his size. Occasionally when he’s over stimulated you’ll have to correct him and let him know he’s being a little too much. Posh is not the best with strangers - you have to buy this boy's love with treats and patience. He does not appreciate being approached without permission and will let you now his displeasure. Posh slightly pulls on a leash and will need some leash training. He would excel at any type of positive reinforcement training as he is very intelligent. Posh loves belly rubs and does very good about keeping his crate clean. It is required posh have a crate in the home this will help his transition to a new environment as well as give him a place to retreat to when he’s feeling overwhelmed. How do I act when I first meet new people? A little timid, but incredibly treat motivated Other tips and tidbits: Posh is 3.5 years old. We celebrate his birthday as 2/1/2019. 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.

Jules Verne is a very special boy with a very congenital brain disorder called polymircogyria. This condition has only been reported in 4 canines (all Standard Poodles) and few cattle. Some of the symptoms accompanied with Jules’ condition include vision impairment, some hearing loss, loss of sense of balance, loss of motor skills, and (sometimes) very fast, sudden, uncontrollable movements of the limbs. Due to this condition he is vision impaired and only hears high pitched sounds. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. If you are considering welcoming this special boy into your home, please do your research on this condition in dogs. We will also happily discuss all that we know with you and share detailed medical reports from the neurologists that have seen Jules Verne and diagnosed him. Weight: 42 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: No Adoption Fee: $1 - I am priceless Fence needed? Yes, Jules requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller What kind of home would be best for me? There are dogs that are special, and then there is Jules Verne. He is one of only 4 known diagnosed cases of his brain disorder. Lack of vision and hearing do not slow him down - he is the happiest, most playful boy you will meet. There is simply nothing better than watching Jules Verne play and live his best life! We are looking for a home that will understand and appreciate Jules Verne for who he is. His normal will always look different than other dogs. He would be happy with another large female dog, or as your only pet. No small dogs or cats please. Jules Verne wants a home where he can play, enjoy a fenced yard, and where someone will appreciate his uniqueness and recognize the beauty it creates. He is not well suited for a home with children. What is my personality like? Jules Verne. What a boy! Jules was rehomed for free from his breeder as a puppy part of a difficult birth and and a mom that wouldn't nurse. The family that welcomed him quickly realized something was not "normal". Their standard poodle puppy was wobbly, didn't seem to be able to be seen, and was just off. Over a month he only seemed to get worse and was ultimately diagnosed by their vet as having suspected brain lesions. The vet recommended euthanasia. The family was overwhelmed and reached out to rescue for help. Upon arrival in rescue, we recognized that Jules was definitely vision impaired and also hearing impaired. He only hears high pitched sounds. His owners had suggested he may have seizures. So we set out on a journey to understand what we were working with. Our first effort was to rule out a liver shunt. Thankfully, Jules Verne's liver functions just fine. Next up was a neurology consult and MRI. The MRI revealed that Jules Verne has a rare, congenital brain disorder called polymicrogyria. This condition has been rarely described in dogs, but in humans the prognosis appears to be variable for each individual case. It can lead to seizures and behavioral changes over time. There are no other dogs quite like Jules Verne. Although Jules has a rare neurological condition that has greatly affected his brain since being in utero, this boy is as sweet as you could ever imagine to his people. Jules absolutely loves and adores the people he trusts the most. Once you and Jules spend enough time together, he will love you for as long as he lives. While Jules can coexist with other male dogs, he can be selective with the male dogs that he likes. He definitely prefers female canine companions over males. You can occasionally sneak a peek of Jules playing with his lady friends, and other times, you can catch him doing his own thing whether that be napping in the sun, sniffing everything out, or simply romping about by himself. Jules also absolutely LOVES toys; specifically durable rubber ones. He will eventually find a way to destroy each toy piece by piece, but is perfectly content receiving a brand new one to have fun with. Another thing about Jules is he has to have his safe space. His just so happens to be his crate. Jules will willingly go in and out of his crate as he pleases, though sometimes he could use a bit of help from his favorite human going in or coming out. Jules is always on the go, no matter the day, rain or shine. This boy has lots of energy on his good days, and can be a bit reserved on other days. Another thing about Jules, is that he LOVES food. Kibble, treats, snacks, anything that he deems good enough, is the key to this boys heart. Jules has no idea that he is different than all of the other dogs. From the people that know and love Jules, he is just as normal and quirky as any other canine. Once Jules considers you trustworthy and a relationship is created, Jules will show his sweet, loving, and affectionate demeanor to them. Jules is a very special boy who is loved by so so many, different or not. In all reality, it’s Jules Vernes’ world, and we’re all just living in it. How do I act when I first meet new people?

He was surrendered immediately.  Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Romeo is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 7/5/23 Romeo had a dental polishing. Romeo walks differently than most dogs. We've had radiographs completed and exam and found nothing physically wrong. Our vet noted that he has under developed femoral muscles that may be affecting his gait. Romeo has allergies and eats a restricted limited AG diet. His skin will relapse very quickly if he eats something that he is allergic to - It manifests as diffuse skin infections. Romeo has suspected cervical spondylopathy. Cervical vertebral instability (CVI) or spondylomyelopathy (CSM) is a collection of abnormalities usually involving the caudal cervical vertebrae of large-breed dogs.  Weight: 68 lbs Height: 26 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $1 - I am priceless! Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Given his history, we're looking for an adults-only home for Romeo. He is good with other dogs, male and female, big and small, but still prefers his people over canines. He would do fine as an only dog receiving all of the attention, but would also be good with another dog in the home who is calm like he is and can show him the rules of your home.  What is my personality like? Romeo is a 6 year old male Standard Poodle/Golden Retriever and was brought to CPR as an owner release to a shelter in June of 2023. Romeo is a bit like a tale of 2 dogs. The owners who surrendered Romeo described a dog that has been on behavioral modification medicine (he isn't anymore) and a dog that had snapped at a child when a door was opened and the child tried to restrain him. We don't know any details of his home life or what circumstances may have led to this behavior, but this isn't the dog we have observed in rescue.  At our rescue, Romeo is a very fun loving, happy go lucky guy. He doesn’t know what a stranger is and is looking for attention anywhere he can get it. Romeo walks well on a leash, is crate trained, and is extremely eager to please. He knows basic commands including sit and shake. Romeo loves people more than anything, and needs a home where his family can give him constant attention and affection to keep him satisfied. While Romeo does enjoy going on adventures every now and then, he would prefer to be laid back and take things slowly. He is a moderate-low energy guy and doesn’t require lots of energy outlets or stimulation. Romeo loves water and is always down for a hike or adventure, as long as he can come back home and nap for the rest of the day. He wants to be with his people 24/7 and wants to go everywhere they go.  How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly Other tips and tidbits: Romeo's exact birthdate is unknown.  We estimated it to be 6/10/2017.  We know the family who turned him in to the shelter had him for 4 years but we do not know if he was an adult when he first came to them.  House trained?

Loki is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.  Weight: 57 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed? Yes, Loki requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. What kind of home would be best for me? Loki is looking for a kid-free, laid-back home. Loki thinks a home in a quiet neighborhood with walking trails nearby would be delightful to live in. Loki would happily spend hours sunbathing and roaming his backyard with a quiet retired couple. He is ideally looking for a home as an only dog simply because he loves to soak up all the attention. Loki does not enjoy being in a crate but does need to eat in a crate due to slight resource guarding of his food. This can absolutely be resolved with time and positive reinforcement training. His home will need to accept him despite this minor quirk, we encourage potential adopters to research on this before applying to adopt Loki. Loki is going to fall into place in any standard poodle lovers' home. What is my personality like? Loki is an utter lovebug. More often than not he is found hugging his caregivers. He adores being the center of attention. Loki is phenomenal on leash and would be an ideal strolling companion. Loki is great with dogs of his size; he frequently is caught playing with other standards. He would not be ideal for small dogs or cats frequently in the home but could walk past them on a leash in the neighborhood. Loki can be shy and uncertain with new strangers from time to time. Give him a few minutes to observe and then start offering treats to him. He warms up fast and once he does, there is no going back with his love. He gives unconditional love to his human and wants to have a forever bond with his very own family.  How do I act when I first meet new people? Shy at first but quickly warms up to someone who knows and understands dogs well.  Other tips and tidbits: Loki was estimated at 4.5 years old. We celebrate his birthday 7/19/2019. House trained?

Hershey is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Hershey is an Irish Setter / Standard Poodle mix - hence his beautiful red color. Hershey has an auto immune disorder called sebaceous adenitis. It means that his hair is thinning and ultimately he will lose a lot of it. He gets a nice bath regularly to help manage. Hershey is a setter/poodle mix. He is not hypoallergenic and does shed. Weight: 52 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $1 - I am priceless Fence needed? Yes, Hershey requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller What kind of home would be best for me? Hershey is a younger dog with an old spirit. He is great with other dogs, but would be happy as your only dog. He enjoys a good romp or walk, but isn't in need of marathon runs. Hershey is definitely more of a calm gentleman who will thrive in an environment that is medium energy. We don't know if he has ever lived with children, but Hershey has an energy well suited for children over 8. He is fine with small dogs and cats.  What is my personality like? Hershey was surrendered to a rural shelter by his owners. We have no idea why, and no history. What we do know is that the shelter recognized that his hair was different and that he had an auto immune disorder that impacts his hair growth. They realized it would take the right home that would embrace his beautiful personal style and be committed to his care. They reached out to rescue for help, and we said yes.  Hershey is a big baby. He loves to give hugs, he loves everyone and just wants everyone to love him. His favorite thing is to be petted behind the ears. Hershey gets alone well with other dogs and doesn’t mind cats. He is food motivated. Hershey is very clean in his crate. He has a solid Netflix and chill vibe.  Hershey is not hypoallergenic and does shed. How do I act when I first meet new people?

Hummer is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.  Hummer has what we affectionately refer to as poodle ears. They must be kept clean and must be cleaned regularly, particularly during warm months. If you don't keep them clean, you will end up at the vet with an ear infection.  Hummer recently got some hot spots - we took some hair off on his tail and inner hindquarters and those have healed so our team feels it was just something to watch (he had gotten a lot of hair).  He may be better off with a shorter hair cut regularly.  He looks cute either way.  Weight: 35 lbs Height: 18 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed? Yes, Hummer requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller What kind of home would be best for me? Hummer is a two-year-old breeder release that has not been socialized. Everything is a new experience for him, even walking up a set of stairs. He would do best with an adopter who is a kind, caring, individual with an abundance of patience for him. He needs a home where someone is home with him most of the time, if not all the time. Hummer requires a home that has another dog so he can take his cues from your dog. However, we consider Hummer an alpha dog, so he'd partner better with a more submissive dog. He gets along better with female dogs than he does male dogs. Hummer has been tested with cats and small dogs and was curious about both, but showed no issues toward them in a meet and greet environment. He has never lived with children. What is my personality like? Hummer was born on a farm in OH. He has never lived in a home and would like to learn how to be a pet. Carolina Poodle Rescue is pleased to work with breeders who are eager to have their dogs find a home. When our site mentions breeder release, we want adopters and supporters to know that this dog will require extra care transitioning into your home. Please know this is a rehabilitation process for the dog. It is a commitment to showing the dog how to be social, building trust, house training, and separation anxiety. Many people use these phrases to describe the rehabilitation process as watching a dog ‘blooming’ or ‘coming out of their shell’. It is a highly rewarding process for you and the dog. We are here to help you support your Hummer's personality with people is still under development. One day he will be more standoffish and another day he will be fine with people approaching and giving him pets and treats. A treat will always get his attention. This is a good sign of his development as many breeder dog releases are far more wary of people. This shows he is well on his way to developing into a great dog that can be someone's life-long companion. Hummer is great with other dogs, and he does best with female dogs. Hummer walks on a leash but still needs to be trained in this. He does not know basic commands such as sit, come, stay, etc. Hummer's adopter needs patience, and a lot of treats, in teaching him how to become a great dog and a wonderful part of your family. Please remember your home will be Hummer's first home A consistent routine each day will see him blossom into the wonderful boy we know he can be.  How do I act when I first meet new people? As noted above, it all depends upon the mood Hummer is in that day. He can be aloof when it comes to people, and he can also be welcoming and approach for pets. Treats all always get you in good with Hummer, he's very food motivated. Hummer has an amazing amount of potential bottled up inside him, he just needs the right person to unleash it. Once you do, you will be able to relish the love you will receive in return from Hummer. As The Beatles sang, "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." Hummer has a whole lotta love to give. Other tips and tidbits: Our vet estimates Hummer was born on or around 1/5/2022. 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 5, 2024, 5:31 pm
