Story
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 was EvieDate into Rescue: 4/19/2024 Reason for being in rescue: breeder release Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Roxanne was exposed to and we assume (based on hair loss pattern) had sarcoptic mange. This is the kind that is contagious to humans but easily treatable. She is still growing her beautiful coat back after her treatments for this mite. Weight: 8.6 lbs Height: 9 in at the shoulder estimate Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No, but a fence is a great safety feature for any dog What kind of home would be best for me? Being a breeder release, Roxanne has a lot to learn and needs a loving, patient, and kind adopter to teach her basic commands like come, sit, down, stay, and the like. While Roxanne walks on a leash, she prefers to take the lead. This means leash training is in her and her adopter's future. Leash training will be a great opportunity for bonding and growth for both Roxanne and her adopter. Pekinese are quite smart but are independent and training requires patience and creativity. Roxanne will need her adopter to be home most of, if not all, day. Whether you live in an apartment or house, whether you are single, a couple, or a family, Roxanne will fit right in. A note for families, Roxanne would do better with children aged 10 and up. Roxanne will need daily grooming with special attention paid to her face. Roxanne requires a dog with another dog in the home - she has never been without a canine companion. What is my personality like? Roxanne's personality is under development. This beautiful, small, all black Pekinese princess came to us as a breeder release. This two-year-old started her journey here with us in a battle with mange that she has triumphed over. This resilient Pekinese princess is now searching for a forever home where she can establish her kingdom. Her true personality has yet to emerge because of her battle with mange. Note that she has always been one of many and has never been an only dog. We expect her to develop a typical Pekinese personality where she will be good with other dogs and pets and loving to her people. Despite her past, Roxanne's future is bright. This lovely little princess isn't asking for much, just a loving home with laps to lounge in when she's not snoozing in her royal doggy bed. It's the life she dreams of and deserves. Come see Roxanne and make her dream of being a cherished family member a reality. How do I act when I first meet new people? Roxanne may not bound lovingly towards you and immediately shower you with affection, but she loves being held and loved on. Her initial reserve is typical of the Pekinese breed. However, she is very happy being a lap dog most of the time. We expect she will need plenty of human companionship to be happy. We believe Roxanne will become a loving lap dog to her adopter. Other tips and tidbits: Based on her overall health and condition, Roxanne was estimated at 2 years old by our veterinary partner. We celebrate her birthday 4/19/2022. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if 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. July 12, 2024, 10:47 am
