Story
Hi! My name is Elliott. I'm a 10lb. 1-1/2 year old Shorkie (shih tzu/yorkie mix). For the past 3 months I've lived in an apartment with a nice lady who rescued me from a bad situation. She has helped me so much with my anxiety. As much as she loves me, she knows this is not the best environment for me (too much noise and nowhere to run around). We're looking for a quieter home with a yard. Although I have anxiety issues, I'm not aggressive at all. I just tremble, hide, or need to be held. I come with all my stuff - crate, bed, blankets, thunder shirt, toys, food, snacks, sling for carrying me, and carseat. I've had all my shots and am on flea/tick treatment. If you think you'd like me to come live with you, please contact my mom-owner.

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   in VPDate into Rescue:  06/25/24 Reason for being in rescue:  breeder release/breeder retiring Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Yang is up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Yang is part of a group of dogs that are currently recovering from extremely poor living conditions. The conditions that we are clearing include sarcoptic mange, skin infections from dirty conditions and lack of grooming, intestinal parasites, and respiratory infections. Every dog has at least one of these conditions; some have multiple. Full records will go with every dog. Yang is estimated as a shih tzu / chihuahua mix. He is not hypoallergenic and will shed. Weight: 3.5 lbs and growing - we expect Yang will be between 14-18 lbs when full grown Height: 6 in and growing - we expect Yang will be 12 in when full grown Spayed/Neutered: No. Due to his age and size, Yang is not neutered. He will be adopted on a spay/neuter addendum that requires you to neuter him at your cost within 9 months and provide proof of neuter. Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No, but he would love one! What kind of home would be best for me? Yang is looking for an active home that is ready to tire him out both mentally and physically. Yang is just a baby and needs to learn everything from walking on a leash to his basic commands. The time you spend walking and teaching him will enable you to form a tight knit bond with Yang. Your partnership will grow into a life-long loving relationship that will have you forever thankful that you took the chance on Yang, a wonderful little pup. Yang's a puppy, he will play with all other dogs as well as the cats here. Some cats don't take kindly to his play so be certain your cat is ready for an energetic puppy. When raised around cats, with proper boundaries, puppies do very well. If you expect your puppy to get alone with your feline buddy, it’s important to start socializing the puppy with the cat as soon as you can!  Yang needs another dog in the home - preferably a small or medium dog under the age of 8 and able to play with him.  Puppies are always in need of a canine friend, they love to run and play with one another. Puppies are active, agile little babies, they need homes that are ready to tire them out both mentally and physically, so a fenced in yard will be required. Puppies are generally very well rounded dogs, they do not meet strangers and would do well with a nice big family or a single owner! What matters most to a puppy is a happy and excited owner ready to take on loving and training their new puppy! When raised around cats, with proper boundaries, puppies do very well. If you expect your puppy to get alone with your feline buddy, it’s important to start socializing the puppy with the cat as soon as you can!  What is my personality like? Yang is an active and agile little puppy. He has one speed, GO! He goes and goes and goes until, NAP TIME! As a puppy Yang likes to play, chew on anything he can get hold of, eat and pee and poo. He's a puppy, it's what puppies do.  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? Yang's a puppy, he loves everybody! Come play with me! Other tips and tidbits: Yang is estimated at under 6 months old. We celebrate his birthday 04/19/2024 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. August 19, 2024, 6:51 pm

No. While a fenced in yard isn't mandatory, Reno would love to romp around a safe fenced space under your watchful eye to burn off some of his energy.  What kind of home would be best for me? Reno is like any pup, full of energy, curious, and learning new things each and every day. He will easily blend into his adopter's home whether it is a house or apartment, and he will do well with a single adopter, a couple, or a family. Reno would be the ideal forever friend for your child 10 years old and up. He requires a home with another active dog for play and socialization. What matters the most to Reno is that his adopter is happy, excited, and ready to take on loving and training him. This engaging little pup will be the light of your life, come see him before he's off spreading light and love to another.

His energetic nature means he’s always up for a game and eager to learn new things. This guy is like the Energizer Bunny, he just keeps going and going. He zooms around, chew on anything he can get hold of (he's especially fond of finger food - YOUR fingers), eats, sleeps and pees and poos. Then he does it all again. When he finally crashes, he takes a long, well-deserved nap. It's just what puppies do.  PUPPY POLICY: Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family.

Story
I have more videos on the rescue website! My name is Pepper. I weigh 7 lbs. (2/16). I am one in a litter of three. We were born around November 15. We are fostered in Mount Airy, North Carolina but easy, affordable transportation is available. Our mom weighed 7 pounds and our dad weighed 10 pounds. They were both family pets with great dispositions. We all have long bodies and short legs. We are not considered hypoallergenic or non-shedding since we are mixed breed puppies. We are well socialized and very loving. We love being held and petted, and we always greet our foster mom at the door with wagging tails and lots of kisses. We love to play with toys and with each other. We do like to chew on fingers and toes so we definitely need some training in this area. We have a medium energy level. We are working on house training. We sleep in a crate every night and we have learned not to potty in our crate. As soon as our crate door is opened every morning we run straight to the door to go outside and potty. We are good with the other dogs and love to play with them. I am the boldest of the three and the first to try anything new. I love to snooze in my foster’s lap! We provide hours of entertainment to our foster mom just watching us play. We are pretty typical puppies - we eat, sleep, play, and then start all over again. We have so much love to give and we are ready to go to our new forever homes! We will not be adopted in to homes with small children because we are so small. We are up-to-date on our puppy shots and we have been dewormed. We have already had a check up by the veterinarian. Our records will accompany us to our new homes. Email is the best method of contact . Adoption applications can be found on our rescue website Carolinacaninerescuenc.com

Story
Effie is a precious senior girl that is ready to find a family to call her own. Effie came to us from a horrible situation where she was one of twelve dogs that were living in a house that was beyond nasty - they had never been outside and were being fed just whatever was in the cabinets or refrigerator - Effie was so matted up when she came to the rescue that we did not even know if she was a male or female and she was not able to see until we shaved her down as her eyes were covered with matts of fur. Effie has really blossomed and is one of the more independent and confident dogs out of the group. She has decided that living the good life as a spoiled dog is pretty darn amazing and she loves to run and play outside. We estimate her age to be 7 years old- sometimes it is hard to tell as the neglect she suffered for years can make them appear normal and there was no way to tell her age from her teeth as they were in horrible shape and she had major dental work done after coming to the rescue. Effie does well with other dogs - she has not been around cats or small kids. She is doing well with her housebreaking but will require patience and consistency when going to a new home with a new schedule. Effie is spayed, has had her dental work done and remaining teeht cleaned. she has had a full workup with bloodwork and a urinalysis, heartworm tested and current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention, dewormed, current on vaccines and microchipped. She weights 25 pounds and is the perfect lap dog that would love to keep your lap warm If you are interested in sweet Effie - please go to our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org and fill out one of our adoption applications. We require this to be filled out and reviewed before we will set up any meet and greet - we do require vet references and and a home visit. Effie's adoption fee is $250.00 Effie said she is so ready to find a family and a home to call her own - will that be your home ?
