No PF profile or pictures Tofu is a 10 year old Maltese that was recently returned to GCSPCA after being adopted out at 2 years old due to allergies that his former owner could no longer manage. Right now, he is receiving twice daily eye drops, medicated baths every couple of days and daily ear drops for an ear infection. At his age, his eyesight isn’t the best, but he can see well enough to navigate your home and yard. He is also eating hypoallergenic prescription food at this time and will probably need to stay on this for the duration of his life, as he is doing well on this diet. Tofu is a happy little guy at 8 lbs and once he settles in, he seeks attention and loves to be held. He seems to have trouble sometimes with his back legs and a recent X-ray revealed an old back fracture. While he has a lot of special needs, please don’t let that deter you, Tofu is the perfect dog for someone seeking a quiet lap and couch buddy. He is crate trained, working on house training, and good with other dogs and people. His foster believes cats wouldn’t be a problem either. If you’re looking to provide a loving forever home for a dog in his golden years, please consider Tofu. If you are interested in adopting Tofu please submit an inquiry directly with Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet’s age. ***Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to meet/pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt.***  March 9, 2025, 3:38 pm

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: 2/13/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Found as a stray Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Ethan is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 3/12/25 he had a dental polishing. Ethan has a grade 2/6 heart murmur. He is not currently on medicine but will need ongoing monitoring. Ethan has some mobility challenges, specifically in his back legs. He has been examined by our veterinarian and confirmed weakness and ataxia in his hindquarters, likely from an old injury (there was no radiographic evidence of the injury). He was given cold laser therapy. Ethan has difficulty working on slick floors and absolutely cannot do stairs. Full x-rays will be provided to Ethan's adopter. Weight: 11 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $299 Fence needed? Yes - due to his back and leg issues, leash walking isn’t the most comfortable option for Ethan. Therefore, he needs a personal space where he can free roam, play with other canines and get exercise daily.  What kind of home would be best for me? Ethan is a handsome boy looking for a very specific home. First, Ethan requires another dog. He enjoys the companionship of having a lifelong friend, and here at the rescue it’s all he has ever known! He loves dogs that are equivalent in size and energy in comparison to him. Ethan needs healthy, moderate exercise to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, but he will NOT be placed in a home where he has to use stairs daily. Ethan has to be carried up and down stairs to prevent further injuries. He is a fragile boy, and stairs would be too much stress and danger for him. He also requires a fenced in yard and it doesn’t have to be extremely large. Due to his back and leg issues, leash walking isn’t the most comfortable option for him, therefore he needs a personal space where he can free roam, play with other canines and get exercise daily.  Our best guess is that Ethan is a maltese mix. Only a DNA test will confirm. Because he has a completely unknown past, we cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic or that he won't shed or cause allergy issues. What is my personality like? Meet Ethan - the world’s sweetest speed bump! This lovable goofball may have a little trouble walking around sometimes, and thinks stairs are an extreme sport! But what Ethan may lack in agility, he makes up for in pure heart! Ethan’s favorite activities include rolling over for frequent belly rubs, giving the most dramatic puppy eyes when he wants to be held, and being your #1 cuddle champion when treats are involved! Ethan is a pretty laid back dude, he doesn’t need much to keep him happy and entertained. He enjoys the sunshine, and simple things life has to offer. He will also not be placed in a home with children. He is fragile and needs a calm, laid back lifestyle.  Ethan requires another dog.

Besides stairs, he has learned how to get around extremely well, and he doesn’t pay his silly little walk much mind. Despite Ethan’s quirks, he has no idea he’s slightly different from everyone else. Ethan wants to be loved, adored and chauffeured around like a VIP (Very Important Pup) just like any other dog! If you’re ready for a best friend who’s all love, and no stairs, Ethan is waiting for you! How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly Other tips and tidbits: Ethan was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 8 years old. We celebrate his birthday 2/7/2017! 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. March 17, 2025, 11:09 am
