Critter Details

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   Date into Rescue: 09/25/2024 Reason for being in rescue: Mr Fluffer was found as a stray and landed at a NC shelter. Carolina Poodle Rescue pulled him from the shelter. Foster location: Foster Home in Raleigh, NC Special Needs? Mr. Fluffers is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Mr. Fluffers is not hypoallergenic and will shed. Weight: 18 lbs Height: 16 in Spayed/Neutered: No Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Mr. Fluffers is a young, active dog. Found on the streets, he was very scared during his intake at the animal shelter. We can't blame him! Once he arrived in a foster, his personality started to shine! Mr. Fluffers enjoys people but can be a little timid at first. We don't recommend him for homes with children under 10 as too much sudden activity may make him nervous. Mr. Fluffers is good with dogs of all sizes and indifferent to cats. He would be happy as the only dog in a home where someone is home more than they are away. What Mr. Fluffers really wants is a person. He's looking for a home where he will hang with you during the day (on a dog bed is just fine), chill on the couch in the evenings, and sleep in the bed at night. These are non-negotiable.  What is my personality like? Mr. Fluffers was found as a stray. He was matted, dirty, and really uncertain about the people that trapped him. Uncertain means that when he arrived at the shelter, he barked and growled when strangers approached him wearing scary gloves and shoving needles into his body. Can you blame him! We'd run scared too. Mr. Fluffer is an amazing dog. He can be a little nervous at first, but give him 5 minutes and some treats and he will give you his heart. He has a mouth full of young, pearly whites that he loves to share in a smile. He knows nothing about personal space and simply wants to be touching you. He is always up for adventure and a happy participant in play with the large and small dogs in his foster home.  Mr. Fluffer rides great in a car. Leashes are okay, though he needs some work. He enjoys pup cups. He knows nothing about house training but is trying really hard to learn. He will be a great candidate for positive reinforcement training. His long legs and scruffy face will waltz right into your heart. How do I act when I first meet new people? Mr. Fluffers can be a little shy when he first meets you. Bring a treat and a squeaky toy and he'll be in your lap and ready to play in no time! Other tips and tidbits: Mr. Fluffers was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 2 years old. We celebrate his birthday 09/25/2022. 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.
