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.

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

Adoption Fee: $699

Fence needed? Yes, Stetson requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller.

What kind of home would be best for me? Stetson is a young adult dog who can fit into so many different homes. Our first priority is a home with another young, playful dog. Stetson is happiest with a canine companion. If you don't have another dog, there needs to be a plan for regular play dates - a minimum of 4 times per week for at least 1 hour each time. We do not know if Stetson has ever lived with children. We do know that he's still figuring out what being a pet is all about so needs patience and experienced hands. Stetson is active. He needs a home committed to lots of physical and mental exercise daily.

What is my personality like? Stetson is a truly wonderful, sweet-natured boy with a loving heart and a playful spirit. He enjoys attention from both people and other dogs and is happiest when he’s part of the action, especially if it involves running around outside and enjoying some fresh air. Playtime is one of his favorite things, and he brings a joyful energy wherever he goes.

Stetson is a very smart dog, eager to learn and connect, but he can be a bit timid when first meeting new people or entering new environments. Stetson just needs a little time to feel safe. Once he does, his affectionate and fun personality really shines. He warms up much more quickly when another dog is around, and we truly believe he would do best in a home with a canine companion. He thrives in the presence of other dogs and absolutely LOVES to play with them.

Stetson will benefit from continued work on basic house manners and leash training as he settles into his new home. With consistency and positive guidance, he has all the tools to succeed. He is crate trained and keeps his crate clean most of the time, showing that he understands structure and routine.

How do I act when I first meet new people? Stetson can be a bit timid when meeting new people or entering new environments. Once he is comfortable, his playful personality shines.

Other tips and tidbits: We have no history on Stetson pre-rescue. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 18 months old. We celebrate his birthday 07/30/2024

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.
