Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (long coat). Adoption Fee: $699. 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: 01/02/2026 Reason for being in rescue: Ziggy was abandoned outside an animal shelter. Carolina Poodle Rescue pulled him from the shelter. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Ziggy is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. We have absolutely no history on Ziggy pre-rescue. Our best guess is that he is a doodle. We cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic or that he won't shed. Weight: 48 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $699 Fence needed? No, but he would love one and would need an active owner dedicated to exercising him properly, if not. What kind of home would be best for me? Ziggy would likely do best in a home that respects his independence and allows him to engage on his own terms. For someone looking for a low-key, undemanding companion who enjoys company without needing constant attention, Ziggy could be a wonderful match. While we haven’t yet seen much interest in toys or playtime, he does get along well with other dogs of all sizes and genders. That said, he doesn’t appear to rely on canine companionship and would do just fine as an only dog, enjoying a calm, low-pressure environment. What is my personality like? Ziggy is a handsome gray doodle (we think) with a gentle, easygoing personality and a very independent streak. We wish dogs could talk. Ziggy was abandoned outside a shelter with another dog - no history, just 2 scared and confused pups. He’s a sweet boy who genuinely enjoys the presence of his people and is always happy to see them, but he shows his affection in a more subtle way. Ziggy isn’t a dog who seeks out constant touch or cuddles. Instead, he’s more of a “quiet companion,” content to share space with you like a laid-back roommate rather than a shadow. Ziggy is comfortable and well-mannered in his crate, keeping it clean and settling in with ease. We don’t yet know what Ziggy is like on a leash, as he hasn’t needed to go on walks so far, so this will be something his future family can gently explore with him at his own pace. Ziggy is new to rescue. He hasn't really engaged with toys or playtime yet. How do I act when I first meet new people? Ziggy can be a little nervous and timid at first and does better if you give him time to feel out the environment. He needs a little time before approach and does better if you get on his level. Other tips and tidbits: We have absolutely no history on Ziggy pre-rescue. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 4 years old. We celebrate Ziggy's birthday as 1/2/2022. House trained? While we do not know if Ziggy is house trained he keeps his crate clean overnight. 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.
