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: 10/11/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Jelly was found as a stray in NC and landed at a shelter Foster location: Foster Home in Rocky Mount, NC Special Needs? Jelly was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on him. He is not hypoallergenic and will shed.  Jelly was a cryptorchoid when he was neutered.  You will be able to see a small scar on his abdomen where the additional surgery was done to fully neuter him.   Weight: 10 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $200 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Jelly has 2 non-negotiables in his forever home. First, you must be home more than you are away (or take your pup with you). And second, you must want a dog snuggled up against you in the bed at night. Jelly has never been tested with large dogs or cats – his foster home has neither. He hasn't been exposed to children, though has a demeanor that we believe would be well suited to children over 10. What is my personality like? Jelly is a terrier mix who was found as a stray, but what he’s searching for now is simple and clear – his person. More than anything else in the world, Bean just wants to be with you. He does well with other small dogs and can happily coexist in a multi-dog home, but he’d be just as content being your one and only, soaking up all the love and attention for himself. Bean bonds deeply and loves nothing more than knowing he belongs. Jelly enjoys playing with toys and will happily entertain himself, but when the day winds down, he wants to be right where you are. At night, Bean sleeps snuggled up next to you in bed, perfectly content as long as he’s close. Jelly would thrive in a home that values connection, companionship, and the quiet joy of having a dog who truly lives for his person. How do I act when I first meet new people? Jelly is timid at first. Give him a little time and he'll be your best buddy! Other tips and tidbits: Jelly was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 2 years old. We celebrate his birthday 10/11/2023. 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 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.
