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.

NOT IN VPDate into Rescue: 4/19/2024
Reason for being in rescue: breeder release
Foster location: Nancy in Raleigh NC
Special Needs? Wilson is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm-negative. Wilson is part of a group of dogs that are currently recovering from extremely poor living conditions. The conditions that we are clearing include sarcoptic mange, skin infections from dirty conditions and lack of grooming, intestinal parasites, and respiratory infections. Every dog has at least one of these conditions; some have multiple. Full records will go with every dog. Wilson will not be medically ready for a forever home until mid-June. We are accepting applications to adopt now.
Weight: 11 lbs
Height: 8 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $399
Fence needed? No, though he would love one
What kind of home would be best for me? Wilson is looking for a calm patient home. He needs an experienced owner who has what it takes to spend one on one time with a shyer dog. Wilson would not be suited for young children under 8 as he is shy and uncomfortable with fast movements. Wilson needs another dog around his age who is confident, Wilson is most social when around other dogs. Wilson is looking for a home to teach him how to be a pet. Wilson is a smart boy and we expect him to come out of his shell rather fast, he is curious. He very much wants to be a people dog, he just needs a gentle household to teach him.
What is my personality like? Wilson is more shy than most of this group but with just a few minutes of a gentle voice coxing him, and then he is happy to participate in human activities! Just give him time and patience and he will begin to show a puppy side to him! Wilson currently is quite and reserved. Expect him to quietly sit by when you meet him, he is just taking in all the very new things. Wilson needs to be taught all the basic skills, leash walking, tricks, and house training. Wilson is just a little man waiting for the right adopter to come steal his heart and love him for life!
How do I act when I first meet new people? Wilson will need time when meeting new people. He is cautious.
Other tips and tidbits: Based on his overall health and condition, Wilson has been estimated at 1 year old by our veterinary partner. We celebrate his birthday 4/19/2023.
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.
