Dainty Feb 25

My story

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: 2/9/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Breeder release Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Dainty is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 3/5/25 Dainty had an umbilical hernia repaired. Weight: 29 lbs Height: 18 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed?  Yes, Dainty is a flight risk if spooked and will need a physical fence that is at least 4 feet tall. What kind of home would be best for me?  Meet Dainty, a beautiful girl who came to us as a breeder release. Like many dogs in similar situations, Dainty is still learning about the world. Though she can still get spooked if you move too quickly, Dainty has embraced life in rescue and greets familiar faces with big hugs and kisses. Dainty is not comfortable around small dogs. She becomes anxious when small dogs are near her feet and may growl or snap. She does better with larger dogs, though sudden movements by them can startle her. No cats for this girl. Dainty enjoys the company of her small pack here and is beginning to understand that she is in a safe, loving space. Dainty has never lived without the companionship of other dogs and requires another large, confident dog in her forever home. Dainty will need an adopter who is patient, understanding, kind, and most importantly, loving. With the right guidance, she has the potential to become a wonderful and affectionate pet. She  doesn't mind if her adopter is single, a couple, or a family, as long as she receives lots of love and care. If adopted by a family, we recommend a home with older children, as sudden movements and loud noises can frighten her. What is my personality like?   Dainty is a young (under 2-year-old) dog with no life experience. As a breeder release, she has never known what it means to be a companion or pet. What she lacks in experience she makes up for in heart. Every experience for this girl is new; you will teach her everything. It will be work. She will be worth it. Dainty can walk on a leash, but she is easily spooked by many things. At times, she may try to run away or dart between your legs. She doesn’t yet know basic commands, but with time and patience, she will learn. Teaching Dainty new commands and how to walk confidently on a leash will help strengthen your bond with her. Dainty has made IMMENSE progress since arriving in rescue and continues to do so. She is extremely friendly and social and will jump all over you when she is comfortable with you. She will still take some time to come to you. Dainty is VERY quiet and hardly ever barks inside. She chases cars like it is cat and mouse so this little one needs close supervision when she is outdoors.  How do I act when I first meet new people?  Dainty is initially wary of new people, but it’s clear that she wants to connect and be loved. If you take your time with her, she will gradually allow you to pet her and begin to trust you. Other tips and tidbits: Dainty's birthday is 07/09/2023. 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. May 28, 2025, 11:26 am
