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: Levi originally arrived in rescue on 1/7/25. He was quickly adopted. Levi returned to rescue on 2/6/26 after making it clear he really doesn't want to live with the hustle and bustle of young children. That's okay – we know plenty of adults that would love a handsome poodle boy! Reason for being in rescue: Breeder release. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Levi is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.  Weight: 47 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $699 Fence needed? Yes, Levi requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. This boy needs a space to run around and get out energy! What kind of home would be best for me? Levi is a young dog with a bit of an old soul. He has tried living with younger children and the fun energy that comes with this. It simply was not for him. While he has plenty of energy and loves to play with other dogs, he does not appreciate lots of little hands and will offer a snap if pushed too hard.  Levi is looking for a quiet, child-free home where life moves at a slower, more predictable pace.  He does well with dogs his own size and would thrive in a home with another friendly, well-adjusted dog to keep him company and help guide him as he continues to build confidence. He will need a dog his size as he does play like a young boy and can overwhelm smaller dogs. Levi takes comfort in canine companionship and enjoys having a steady presence to follow and learn from.   What is my personality like? Levi is a two-year-old apricot Standard Poodle with a gentle, sensitive nature who is happiest in a calm, low-key environment. Levi was previously adopted but returned after snapping at children, which reinforced what he already tells us clearly – he needs patience, understanding, and a peaceful setting where his boundaries are respected. He is still working on becoming fully house trained and is doing well with consistency. Levi walks nicely on a leash and, while he may be shy and nervous at first, treats quickly win him over. He is very food motivated and eager to please when approached with kindness. With the right environment, he is a thoughtful, affectionate dog who simply wants to feel safe and settled. In the right home, with calm routines, gentle guidance, and a dog friend by his side, Levi has all the makings of a devoted and rewarding companion. How do I act when I first meet new people? Levi is nervous at first but grab a bag of treats and he is your best friend!  Other tips and tidbits: Levi was born 1/28/24 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.
