My Story

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 www.carolinapoodlerescue.org 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 [email protected] with your name, address and phone # and email. We’ll add you to our mailing list.
thanks
the CPR Adoption team

What kind of home would be best for me? Gunner is looking for a home with people with time for this energetic senior boy. He has never been crated and is immaculately housetrained. He has zero issues with stairs and is good with or without other  dogs. Gunner is not suited for a home with small dogs. He has been attacked by smaller dogs in the past and is uneasy around them. He could live with other large dogs but would be equally happy as your only  dog. Gunner has never lived with cats. He has demonstrated an eagerness for chasing cats in his foster home and given this, will not be placed in a home with cats.
What is my personality like? Gunner is a people dog. He loves following his humans around and sitting close enough for pets. He is elegant with the prancing poodle gait and in the next minute a goofball rolling on the floor with a toy. He loves to go with you and car rides are a very happy thing to do. Gunner has been trained with all the standard commands: sit, stay, down, shake, etc. Gunner is very open to new people. He is friendly and gentle around them.
Other tips and tidbits: Gunner is 10 years old going on 5. His birthday is 10/13/2013. He is the poster boy for an elegant Standard Poodle with a wonderful coat and confirmation.
House trained? Gunner has been immaculate in his foster home.  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 www.carolinapoodlerescue.org 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.
