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: 06/25/2024 Reason for being in rescue: pulled from local shelter, found as stray Foster location: Foster Home in Rocky Mount, NC Special Needs?

We are accepting applications to adopt now.  Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No, but he would enjoy one What kind of home would be best for me? Winston is a young dog who's had little to no structured life experiences. He's looking for a home with the patience and time to allow him to become the best version of himself. Winston's ideal home is one committed to positive reinforcement training for socialization and confidence building. It is a home where he can sleep in the bed with you at night. He could live as the only dog in a home with lots of time and attention, or with another dog in a home where you work outside the home but provide a break. We don't know if Winston has every lived with children. He's generally a gentle boy who would be okay with kids over 8. What is my personality like? Winston was found as a stray roaming the busy streets of North Carolina. He's understandably still a little nervous and figuring things out, but tough days on the street haven't dimmed this boy's general kind demeanor and gentle personality. Winston is living in a foster home with other small dogs. He is happy with his pack and can be found happily running with the crew and learning to play with toys. At night, you will find Winston snuggled up against his foster mom under the covers in bed. He's figured out pretty quickly that life in a home beats life on the streets every day! How do I act when I first meet new people? A little timid, but gentle. Other tips and tidbits: Winston was found as a stray so we have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition he has been estimated at 1 year old. We celebrat his birthday 06/25/2023. 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.
