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 Sweet but not a social butterfly. The world is a scary place for Addy. Date into Rescue: 09/08/2017 Reason for being in rescue: Owner release- owner/breeder doesn't want Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? mammary tumor removed during spay Weight: 44 lbs Height: est 21" at the shoulder Adoption Fee: $200 Fence needed? Yes, no exceptions What kind of home would be best for me? Addy is a purebred border collie and she needs to work. She would gain a lot of confidence if she had some skills and took all that intelligence she has and put it to work. She needs a fenced in yard, border collie experience and another dog in her home to follow. She does well with other dogs her size and is fine with cats. What is my personality like? Addy is sweet but timid. She has lived her life in a 10 x 10 chain link run. Once she's around you about 30 minutes she's sweet and loving but you have to give her that space. She hides behind her brother Cinch and takes her cues from him. She is a beautiful dog but has never been taught how to be a proper border collie. After she is acclimated to you she is very much an "in your pocket" type of dog. She wants to be by your side through every high and low! Addy prefers your love and attention way more than treats or toys, love and patience is the key to her heart. How do I act when I first meet new people? Timid at first but she comes around. More tips and tidbits: Addy is border collie interrupted - bought as a puppy and stuck in a pen. Little socialization. No training. It's time to start her life. No kids under 10 please. She may herd littles. 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. My age: Birth date 2/28/2013 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.
