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

What kind of home would be best for me? Gordo is a medium-sized terrier mix with a sturdy build and an even steadier heart. At an estimated five years old, he’s reached a wonderful balance of playful energy and easy companionship. Gordo enjoys being around his people and likes to stay involved in daily life, whether that means tagging along outside or relaxing nearby while you go about your routine. He has a friendly, approachable personality and settles comfortably into most environments.
What is my personality like? Gordo’s journey to rescue was an unusual on. He was left in a drop box in New Mexico and made his way across the country with a truck driver and 13 other dogs. What a story! Along the way, he discovered that he loves car rides and enjoys watching the world pass by through the window, making him a great companion for outings and adventures.
Gordo enjoys play sessions and outdoor time but isn’t over-the-top in his energy. He’s the kind of dog who appreciates both activity and downtime. He will benefit from continued work on basics like leash manners and reliable recall, and with consistent, positive training, he’s expected to make steady progress.
Gordo handles car rides well and would likely enjoy joining his family for outings and adventures. He’s attentive, people-focused, and responsive, which makes him a great candidate for further learning and bonding through training.
As he transitions into his forever home, Gordo will need a little time to understand new routines and expectations. With patience, structure, and encouragement, he will settle in nicely and become a loyal, well-rounded companion ready to share life’s everyday moments and bigger adventures alike.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Gordo is friendly and approachable. Think of him as your built-in adventure-ready buddy.
Other tips and tidbits: We have no history on Gordo pre-rescue. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 6 years old. We celebrate his birthday 01/28/2021.
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.
