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

Date into Rescue: 12/28/24
Reason for being in rescue: Hoarder seizure/owner overdosed on scene
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Spencer is up to date on vaccines for his age. We know that Spencer is part chihuahua. We don't know what he is mixed with, only that he is 100% cuteness. He is absolutely not hypoallergenic and does shed.
Weight: 3.5 lbs and growing - we estimate Spencer will be between 12-18 lbs when full grown
Height: 6 in and growing - we estimate Spencer will be about 12 inches when full grown
Spayed/Neutered: No - Based on his age and size he is not neutered and will not be neutered prior to adoption. He will be adopted on a spay/neuter addendum that requires you to neuter him within 9 months at your cost and provide proof of neuter.
Adoption Fee: $299
Fence needed? No
What kind of home would be best for me? Spencer requires a home with another small, active dog for socialization and play. A person scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and can provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day and night is a must. He is a baby and needs play breaks as well as frequent and consistent potty times to aid in potty training. If you have children, they need to be older than 7 for this small boy.
What is my personality like? Spencer and a whole lot of his family members were seized in a hoarding case after the owners of the home he was in overdosed. To say that he was born into filth, clutter and chaos would be an understatement. Thankfully, he did not live in these conditions for very long and is learning quickly that clean living conditions, plenty of food and water and lots of loving caregiving are a good thing.
Spencer is a typical puppy - eat, sleep, play, and poop. He is very playful and adventurous but not as adventurous and mischievous as his sister Kate. Spencer enjoys playing with his siblings and with people. He still enjoys the company of his siblings more than people, but he enjoys playing with people too.
PUPPY POLICY:
Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family. Puppies can be a joyous experience, but they can also be a tremendous amount of work. Since our goal is to place each of our dogs in forever homes, we are especially cautious with puppies. We like to stress 3 major things when considering a puppy vs. an adult dog: 1) many adult dogs are well bred, well trained dogs who find themselves in rescue through no fault of their own, 2) adult dogs are eager to share their love and bond with their new family, and 3) puppies will always require far more time, energy, and training than an adult dog.
Our ideal puppy adopters are:
-experienced dog owners with a solid record of excellent vet care of their previous pets
-scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and have another canine companion already in the home
-stay at home type of people (work at home, home schoolers, retired, etc)
How do I act when I first meet new people? Spencer is a little nervous at first, but he loves people and is happy to meet you. He'll be really excited to meet your dog!
Other tips and tidbits: There was no information or records found on the scene when Spencer was seized by animal control. Our vets and staff have estimated his birthdate to be 11/22/24 based on teeth and overall behavior.
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.
