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: 01/19/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Born into rescue Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Angus is up to date on vaccines for his age. Angus' mom Evie is a 12-lb mini Australian shepherd. His dad is a man of mystery. Only a DNA test will confirm him genetics. He is 100% adorable. Angus is not hypoallergenic and will shed. Angus will be ready for his forever home on 3/29/25; we are accepting applications to adopt now. Weight: 3.5 lbs and growing - we expect Angus will be between 22-30 lbs when full grown Height: 6 in and growing - we expect Angus will be 12-14 inches when full grown Spayed/Neutered: No. Based on his size and age, Angus 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: $349 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? 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. 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? Angus is a mysterious guy. He likes to play games. Being mischievous and you'd have to catch him off guard if you wanted to take a picture of him because he will turn away every time to get back to his doggy duties. Angus is super playful and wants to goof off all day. In true puppy fashion, he is a sweetheart but doesn't want to be loved on for too long because he has business to handle. When he's got his mind set on something he wants everyone out of his way. Yes, this makes him a bit stubborn at times, but he is just a headstrong puppy with lots of confidence. When Angus finally takes a nap, he throws his back legs out and doesn't want to be woken up for any reason. He is a little goofball with lots of personality and he’s happy with that.  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? Angus is the goofball of his litter - equal parts playful and snuggly while also independent and charging the way. He enjoys meeting new faces and showing you what puppy charm is all about. Other tips and tidbits: Angus was born 01/19/2025 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.

He loves to be picked up and told good morning because it hurts his feelings when you don't. He's a sensitive guy and needs lots of affection. Hamish is kind to all of his puppy friends and loves some snuggle time with them, especially his sisters. He's always so gentle even when playing and prefers to just give kisses. Hamish is generally pretty mellow - he's content in any situation and even when we are outside, he picks sunbathing and hanging out by his caregivers over getting silly with everyone else. Hamish is easily puzzled and takes a bit more time to figure things out or maybe he's just a bit lazy; whichever it may be he prances through his day following his siblings around with not a worry in the world. He truly is one of a kind. PUPPY POLICY: Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family.

We call her our pistol because she’s always the first to have it figured out and then she gets bored and has to find something more challenging. She moves fast and you rarely ever catch her off her feet. Alira absolutely loves people and wants all of the lap time she can get no matter who it's coming from. She has a silly walk almost like she's just hopping her day away. When you give her kisses sometimes, she’ll turn her head away and look at you silly like she didn't tell you, you could do that. Alira is independent and enjoys doing her own thing. She will pick up toys the same size as her body and carry them around so all her brothers know she's still just as strong as them. When she plays she throws her front paws at you like she wants to wrestle, she has many weird quirks and loves to show them off to everyone. Alira is super smart and super goofy all at once. She truly is what we would like to call girl power because this one can do it all! PUPPY POLICY: Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family.

Sometimes he covers his face with his little paws or takes a step back to feel more comfortable. He enjoys being spoken to because it boosts his confidence and makes him get the wiggle booties. Kurt loves all the affection, but he saves his kisses for very special occasions. He gets the zoomies when he's feeling good and gets very silly until he remembers he's mature and goes back to being Mr. Serious. Kurt is curious about everything and always proceeds with caution, he just needs a bit of time to open up. Once he does, Kurt's the most unique little man you'll ever meet, and he will have you laughing with all his odd quirks.

Lucy is a super sweet affectionate girl, very obedient, crate trained, and leash trained. She is medium energy and loves to play fetch. We are rehoming her after a short stay because she is just too much for our elderly dog.
