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 Date into Rescue: 01/08/25 Reason for being in rescue: Released to a local independent rescuer by the owner who is having to move into assisted living, rescuer partnered with CPR to place her with us to find her forever home Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Nova is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative Weight: 18 lbs est Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $349 Fence needed? While a fenced-in yard isn’t a must, Nova would certainly love a safe outdoor space to play and enjoy some fresh air. What kind of home would be best for me? Nova will thrive in a variety of living situations, whether in a house or apartment. She’ll fit right into any household—whether you're a single person, a couple, or a family. If you have kids, she would do best with children aged 10 and up who can be gentle and respectful. Nova would also be happy with another dog, as long as they’re calm and not overly energetic. However, she would likely prefer to be the only dog, so she can be the center of your world! Nova is a total lovebug! She adores people and gets along well with other dogs that are calm and respectful. While she hasn’t interacted with cats yet, she shows no signs of aggression, and if your cats are comfortable with her, she’s sure to be just fine. If you are looking for a little package overflowing with love, Nova is the girl for you! What is my personality like? Say hello to Nova, a sweet and loving Shih Tzu girl who is eagerly searching for her forever home. Nova came to us as an owner surrender, and she's used to living in a loving home where she’s cherished. Now, she’s ready to find her new family! Nova is an affectionate little companion who loves to be around people. She enjoys spending time with you and will let you know if you’re not giving her enough attention—she’ll gently place her front paws on your leg, as if saying, “Hey, I’m down here! I need some love!” Her favorite place in the world is in your lap, and if she can’t get there, she’ll happily settle next to you on the couch. Though we’re still learning if she knows commands or how well she walks on a leash, Nova is eager to please and should pick up on training quickly. Spending time working with her will not only help her learn but also create a strong bond between you. How do I act when I first meet new people? Loving. Nova will eagerly approach you for pets and will jump into your lap if you allow it. Expect her to jump up and place her front paws on your legs as her way of saying, “Hey, I’m down here and I need your attention and loving.” She simply loves being close to you! Other tips and tidbits: We don't know Nova's exact birthdate. Her owner did not, either. Records at her previous vet show an estimated birthdate of 11/23/2017. 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. January 22, 2025, 9:08 am
