ly 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 .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.
Just browsing but interested in poodles and poodle mixes? Please drop a note to applicationscarolinapoodlerescue with your name, address and phone # and email. We'll add you to our mailing list.

Date into Rescue:7/25/25
Reason for being in rescue: Breeder release/retiring.
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Poppy is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 08/06/2025 she had a dental polishing. Poppy arrived in rescue from poor conditions. She and all the dogs in the home have been proactively treated for mange. Our best guess is that Poppy is a poodle, but she came from a puppy mill where there were also chihuahuas and pomeranians. We cannot guarantee that she is hypoallergenic or that she won't shed.
Weight: 9.4 lbs
Height: 12 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $399
Fence needed? No, though Poppy knows absolutely nothing about a leash.
What kind of home would be best for me? Poppy is like a flower in early spring—waiting for someone patient enough to nurture her, water her with kindness, and give her the warmth she needs to grow. With humans, she needs time, patience, and gentle encouragement, but with the right care, her trust will unfold, revealing the sweet, loving soul she truly is.
One thing Poppy absolutely needs is another dog in her home. This isn’t optional—she thrives with a canine friend by her side. She draws confidence from them, learns from them, and lets her playful energy shine brightest when she has a buddy to romp with. A friendly, confident dog will be her anchor in this new and unfamiliar world.
Because of her gentle but energetic nature, Poppy isn’t looking for a noisy or high-chaos household, Poppy would probably not do well with children. She does want a home where she can play freely with her doggy friend and then settle down in peace.

What is my personality like? Poppy – A Gentle Flower with a Playful Spirit! Poppy is a delicate white Mini Poodle with a tender heart and a quiet spirit—until she’s with her canine friends, when her playful side bursts into bloom. While she’s shy and reserved with people right now, she absolutely comes alive around other dogs, playing with energy and joy that could make anyone smile.
Poppy’s past was spent outdoors, never knowing the comfort and safety of a home. Now, she’s discovering the joy of soft beds, quiet rooms, and the peace that comes from having her own space. Still, she’ll need patient guidance to learn everything—how to live indoors, walk on a leash, and understand what it means to be loved.
For the person willing to offer her patience, understanding, and the company of another dog, Poppy promises to grow into a loyal, playful, and tenderhearted companion—a flower whose beauty and joy will bloom brightest in the right hands.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Poppy is shy and unsure. She is gentle and wants to trust, it just takes time. She will be far more interested in and friendly with your dog!
Other tips and tidbits: Poppy arrived in rescue as part of a puppy mill. We have no records on her. Based on her overall health and condition she has been estimated at 4.5 years old by our veterinary partner. We celebrate her birthday 12/13/2020.
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.
