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 .carolinapoodlerescue 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.

Date into Rescue: 1/13/2024
Reason for being in rescue: breeder release/a death in the family caused the breeder to reach out for help so they could go be with loved ones during this time
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Irene is up to date on vaccines for her age. Due to age, she is not spayed. She will be adopted on a spay/neuter contract which requires you to spay her at your expense within 12 months. Irene is a very young puppy that is not house-trained or crate-trained. She will need patience and proper training to accomplish both.
Weight: 20 lbs est but growing every single day. We anticipate about 50 when full grown but this is just a guess
Height: 12 in now at the shoulder but growing every day. We anticipate at least 24" when full grown
Spayed/Neutered: No - Irene is too young to spay. She needs to grow.
Adoption Fee: $599
Fence needed? Yes without exception. Irene must have a PHYSICAL fence, at least 4' high. This is not negotiable. Puppies need to run. Leash walking is NOT enough.
What kind of home would be best for me? Also non-negotiable - Irene requires a home with another active dog for socialization and play. We will not place Irene in a home with senior dogs. The companion dog MUST be 8 years old or younger. I prefer a standard poodle although a large dog that is playful and will be a good mentor dog is our goal.
A person scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and can provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day and night is a must. She is a baby and needs play breaks as well as frequent and consistent potty times to aid in potty training. Irene will not be adopted to a home with children under 5.
Puppies are always in need of a canine friend, they love to run and play with one another. Poodle 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. Poodle puppies are 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 poodle 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, it is important to note that poodles can have a high prey drive. 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! This pup has not had contact with cats that we know of and will not have contact while with their current foster.
What is my personality like? Irene is a young lady looking for someone to help her live her best life. She is sweet, a little shy but she can also be playful. Irene likes UNDER things - her current fun spot is under the grooming tub. She is crate trained and always clean in her crate. She has not yet been introduced to leashes but should pick this skill up easily.
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? It will take her a bit to warm up but treats help. She lived a quiet existence for her first 12 weeks and is just now seeing more and more of the world.
Other tips and tidbits: Irene's birthdate is 10/17/2023. We know that the father is a 60 lb white standard poodle and the mother is a 39 lb black standard poodle. We think she will hit around 45 to 50 lbs when full grown. The estimate is based on the average size of the parents.
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 .carolinapoodlerescue 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.
