Critter Details

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 applications@carolinapoodlerescue.org with your name, address and phone # and email.  We'll add you to our mailing list. thanks the CPR Adoption team   Date into Rescue:  01/28/25  Reason for being in rescue: Humphrey was taken in by a North Carolina shelter with significant medical challenges Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Humphrey arrived in rescue with a broken jaw that was hanging off the side of his face. He had partial removal of jaw due to trauma sometime mid-2024. The jaw could not be repaired and was hanging. Humphrey has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines and is heartworm negative. He has been treated for hookworms and giardia Given his unknown origin, we cannot guarantee that Humphrey is hypoallergenic or that he will not shed.  Weight: 17 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $349 Fence needed? No, but a fence is a great safety feature for any dog. What kind of home would be best for me? Humphrey is a bundle of joy and happiness will adapt seamlessly to any home, whether an apartment or house. Humphrey does not care if his adopter is a single person, a couple, or a family, all he wants is a place where he can be loved, feel safe and enjoy the happiest life imaginable. He would enjoy having a fenced in yard to run and play in. After all Humphrey has been through he certainly deserves a wonderful new life. If you are wondering how he eats after having part of his jaw removed we can tell you he has no problems with that. We do feed him soft canned food but if there is hard dry food out, he will try and eat that too! If you’re looking for a dog who will fill your days with fun, love, and endless tail wags, Humphrey is the perfect match. He’s a loving companion who will brighten up every moment! What is my personality like? Say hello to Humphrey, the most adorable and happiest little pup you’ll ever meet. His upbeat personality runs counter to his life experiences. Humphrey came to us after being hit by a car and having his jaw broken. This tough little guy spent three months running the streets with his jaw off to one side. We have no idea how he survived in such pain. Humphrey made visits to three different veterinary specialists within his first 36 hours here. He underwent emergency surgery to remove half of his jaw. Humphrey is healing beautifully and acts as though nothing happened. For all the pain and trauma he experienced, it turns out Humphrey is the happiest boy you will ever meet! Humphrey was in rough shape when he came to us—not underweight, but badly matted and smelly. After a good bath and grooming, he’s now the picture of health and charm. Humphrey now looks like he could be a model for a doggie calendar, but he may not sit still long enough for the perfect photo! Humphrey is the happiest boy you will ever meet! He gets along fine with all dogs, and he is almost always ready to play. Humphrey’s also a pro at naps so don’t be surprised if you hear him snoring away in his sleep! How do I act when I first meet new people? When Humphrey meets new people, he’s immediately friendly. He’ll jump up for attention, climb into your lap for some pets, and cover you with kisses. Other tips and tidbits: Humphrey was a stray. We do not know his exact birthdate. Our vet has estimated Humphrey to be about 6 years old and we celebrate his birthday as 01/01/2019. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if 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.
