Dog Breed: Poodle (Toy) (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $499. 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.

Gizmo is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 01/23/26 he had a dental polishing. Weight: 7.14 lbs Height: 6 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $425 Fence needed? No, but he would love one. What kind of home would be best for me? A canine companion is not optional for Gizmo - it is essential. He depends on other dogs for reassurance and direction and feels most secure when he has a calm, friendly dog to lean on. Gizmo does best when he can follow the lead of another dog, learning by example and gaining confidence through companionship. His forever home must include another dog who can help him navigate daily life and provide the emotional support he needs. Gizmo is still learning what it means to be a pet, and many aspects of home life are new to him. He responds well to food rewards, which will be a helpful tool as he learns basic training, routines, and house manners. He will need gentle, positive guidance when it comes to everyday skills like leash walking and exposure to new experiences. Gizmo is not suited for loud, chaotic, or frequently changing environments. He is seeking a home that offers stability, calm energy, and predictable routines - one where love is quiet, steady, and reassuring rather than overwhelming. What is my personality like? Gizmo is a white Toy Poodle with a sensitive nature and a heart that’s still learning how to feel safe in the world. He approaches life carefully and thoughtfully, preferring to observe before engaging. With consistency, patience, and kindness, Gizmo continues to make progress and show curiosity about the comforts of pet life. With a peaceful home, a trusted dog companion, and adopters committed to providing guidance without pressure, Gizmo has the potential to grow into a devoted and affectionate little companion who finds confidence in consistency and comfort in routine. How do I act when I first meet new people? New situations can feel overwhelming for him, so Gizmo needs the freedom to move at a slow, steady pace as he builds trust and confidence. Other tips and tidbits: Gizmo's birthday is 2/2/2018 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.
