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.

What kind of home would be best for me? Though Thaddeus was surrendered by owners, his life seems to be sheltered. He is not a confident dog and lacks real world experience. This boy will absolutely need another dog in his new home. Canine companionship gives him the confidence he needs, and he truly thrives when he has a buddy to learn from and lean on. A home with routine, predictability, and minimal chaos will help Thaddeus feel secure as he continues to settle into family life.
With consistency and love, there’s no doubt he’ll grow into the confident, joyful companion we know he’s meant to be.
What is my personality like? Meet Thaddeus – The Gentle Apricot Gentleman. Thaddeus is a beautiful apricot Standard Poodle mix who’s just waiting for the right person to show him the world isn’t so scary. Though he may be a little nervous at first, it doesn’t take much to win him over—a quiet walk, some gentle pets, and suddenly you’ll find this sweet boy melting right into your arms, soaking up all the love and attention you’re willing to give.
Thaddeus came to us after his previous owner became very ill and could no longer care for him. Because of that, he’s still learning that the world is a big place—but also a fun and safe one when he has the right people by his side. Thaddeus is crate trained, does okay on a leash, and is eager to keep learning with a patient and gentle hand.
If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate soul who just needs a little time and understanding to shine, Thaddeus is ready to take that journey with you—paw in hand, heart wide open.
How do I act when I first meet new people? With just a little kindness, Thaddeus blossoms quickly and shows his affectionate, loyal nature.
Other tips and tidbits: The shelter aged Thaddeus at 4 years old. We celebrate his birthday 08/15/2021.
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.
