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?

Dexter is a distinguished, mature gentleman who is searching for a cozy lap and a soft bed to call his own. He truly enjoys his naps and appreciates all the comforts that come with a peaceful, loving home. He enjoys meeting new canine friends and spending time alongside them, making him a lovely companion in a multi-dog home. With a little time to settle in, Dexter will make a wonderful, easygoing companion for someone looking to share their home with a calm, loving senior who still has plenty of life left to enjoy. What is my personality like? Dexter says age is number and he's here to provide it. He is surprisingly spry and full of quiet joy. When it’s time to go outside, he lights up and happily dances his way to the door, eager to enjoy the fresh air. Dexter remains playful in his own gentle way and finds comfort in the company of other dogs. While much of pet life is familiar to him, he will still need some guidance with basic skills such as leash walking and settling into household routines as he adjusts to a new environment. Affectionate and sweet, Dexter enjoys being close to his people but also values his independence. He’s not demanding of constant attention and is perfectly content relaxing nearby, soaking up love when it’s offered. How do I act when I first meet new people? Dexter love meeting new people, but really, he is drawn to his doggy friends more so. Offer him a good soft bed and a buddy and he is all yours! Other tips and tidbits: We have no history on Dexter pre-rescue. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 11 years old. We celebrate his birthday 01/28/2015. 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.
