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.

Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Fence needed? Yes - Rumor has never lived without a fenced in yard. Rumor requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller.
What kind of home would be best for me? Rumor has not previously lived as a typical household pet, so the ins and outs of home life will be brand new to her. She will need patience, gentle guidance, and consistency as she learns routines, house manners, and basic training at her own pace. Rumor is searching for a calm, predictable home where she can settle in without pressure. Loud, chaotic, or constantly changing environments may be overwhelming for her, and she will thrive best in a peaceful setting that allows her time to adjust and feel secure. She would benefit greatly from having another steady, confident dog in the home to help guide her and boost her confidence. That said, a home with rescue-dog experience and regular, positive dog interactions outside the home could also be a wonderful match.
What is my personality like? Rumor is a 4-year-old Standard Poodle with a soft, thoughtful presence and a gentle way about her that draws you in. She has a sweet, kind heart and carries herself with a quiet grace, observing the world carefully before fully stepping in. Rumor is the type of dog who forms deep connections once she feels safe, and her calm demeanor makes her a comforting companion. Rumor does well with other dogs and is capable of standing her ground when needed, though she prefers calm, respectful canine friends and is not fond of overly bouncy young, spirited personalities. While Rumor often looks to more social dogs for reassurance, she is also able to build confidence on her own as trust grows. She has been groomed and is comfortable on the grooming table, making ongoing coat care a positive and manageable experience.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Rumor can be timid at first. With understanding adopters, a steady routine, and plenty of compassion, Rumor has the potential to blossom into a deeply loyal, loving companion who quietly becomes your constant shadow.
Other tips and tidbits: Rumor's birthday is 07/24/2021
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.
