Old English Sheepdog and Standard Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption

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.

Date into Rescue:1/10/26
Reason for being in rescue: Owner release to a North Carolina shelter
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Jobie is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Jobie is an English Sheepdog / Standard Poodle. He is a BIG dog. He is not hypoallergenic and does shed.
Weight: 92 lbs
Height: 24 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Adoption Fee: $699

Fence needed? Yes, Jobie needs somewhere to stretch his big legs when he's not on hikes or walks or pulling a pumpkin cart.

What kind of home would be best for me? Jobie is the kind of dog who wants to be right in the middle of the action - running, playing, and then leaning in close for attention. He does wonderfully with other dogs and is just as happy making canine friends as he is greeting new people. Because of his size and strength, Jobie is best suited for a younger, active family who can keep up with his energy and confidently handle him. He would do well with older, sturdy children who are comfortable around large dogs, but he’s not a good match for anyone with balance or mobility concerns. Jobie has been tested with cats and thinks they are simply fun!

What is my personality like? Jobie is a big, lovable 90-pound doodle with an even bigger heart. We don't know much about Jobie's life pre-rescue. We know that his owner lost their housing and had no choice but to surrender him to a shelter. They told the shelter that Jobie isn't a fit for a home with small children, that he loves chewing toys and that he can resource guard food in a home with other pets. We only know the Jobie we've observed and grown to love in rescue.

Overflowing with joy and affection, Jobie lives for playtime, movement, and soaking up as much love as he can get from his people. He is highly motivated by both treats and affection, which will make training a fun and rewarding experience for him. Jobie knows sit, down, paw and could very easily be taught wait/stay and come. He could use some work on his leash manners, as he can pull when excited and doesn’t always realize just how strong he is. At the end of the day, Jobie is a sweet, enthusiastic love bug who simply wants attention, companionship, and a family ready to embrace all 90 pounds of him. With the right home, he’ll be a loyal, joyful companion who brings endless smiles and affection.

How do I act when I first meet new people? Jobie loves everyone and everything and if you bring treats - he loves you even more!

Other tips and tidbits: We don't have any paperwork on Jobie pre-rescue. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 3 years young. We celebrate his birthday 12/30/2022.

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.
