Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) (long coat). Adoption Fee: $1 - I am priceless. Thank you for your interest in dog who needs a new home. Adoption can be one of the most fulfilling experiences in your life and especially 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. thanks the CPR Adoption team Date into Rescue: 08/10/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Sky was surrendered by owners who could no longer afford his medical care. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Sky was diagnosed with Addison’s disease at age 4. He takes Zycortal once a month and a low dose of prednisone daily and has been managed very well. He has had no issues since he was diagnosed and since his treatment has started. Weight: 69 lbs Height: 23 in at the shoulder Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $1 - I am priceless Fence needed? No although a place to romp and run a minimum of 3 times per week for a minimum of one hour each session is part of his bucket list. What kind of home would be best for me? When Sky writes his perfect home section up, the first thing he says is "you will know that I am Numero Uno, your BFF, your one!" Sky has been and is currently co-existing peacefully with other dogs but in his perfect world, he won't have to. Sky was in what we hoped was his home for about a year before coming to the poodle farm. These long term supporters and adopters are very Addison's dog savvy. Had Sky been happy with them he would have stayed but they have a very small dog Sky did not want to be around and he showed it. 70 lbs vs 7 lbs is never going to be a fair right no matter what. Their wish list for him says "Our hope for Sky is that he can find a new home where he is either the only pet or maybe has just one other standard to spar around with. Sky has to be #1. He needs a home wher ehe can get plenty of one-on-one time. He loves his people. When I watch TV, he will come and sit on my feet and stay close by. He is always close by." What is my personality like? Bossy and opinionated and will jump on smaller dogs if they aren't sassy small dogs. We have other small dogs who look at him and say "try it, just try it, the bigger you are the harder you fall" and these dogs he respects. With Sky, it's all about the attitude. How do I act when I first meet new people? Sky loves people. He will happily spend his life covered up with people, new or familiar, people are his happy place. Other tips and tidbits: Sky's birthday is 02/16/2019. Sky is AKC registered and pedigreed. Sky's coat is stunning and it is thick. Plan on a minimum of monthly trips to the groomer. He loves it. He loves the attention and spa day is his favorite day. Sky's first foster mom is very Addisonian savvy. They have Sky down to very realistic doses of required Addisonian meds. He gets Prednisone daily 2.5 mg once per day. Cost is .16 cents per day. Sky also receives an injection of percorten 1.2 mL once every 4 weeks. Cost is approximately $77 per month (a 4 mL bottle is $233 so you have 3.3 doses per bottle) if you learn to do the injection yourself. Percorten injections are given subcutaneously. Prices quoted are from 1800petmeds. If you will need a veterinarian to monitor and give injections, please call your local vet for prices. 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.
