Little Lil 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: Owner surrender Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Little Lil is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 2/26/25 she had a dental polishing. Little Lil arrived in rescue with hookworms and giardia. She has been treated for these. Weight: 28 lbs Height: 20 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed? Little Lil requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. What kind of home would be best for me? With humans, Lil takes things at her own pace, and it is very important that her potential adopters understand that if she is pushed too hard, it will be too overwhelming for her, and she will regress. Patience, and calmness is key with her. Little Lil would be okay with older, considerate children above the age of 12 that will respect her boundaries. Having another confident canine (or a couple) in Little Lil's new home is required to help her feel secure and bring our her playful side even faster!  What is my personality like? Meet Little Lil - a playful pup with a zest for life, and a heart full of love — she just needs a little time to show it! This sweet girl can be a bit shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her fun, goofy personality shines right through. Little Lil absolutely loves other dogs of all sizes, and she comes alive when she’s with her canine friends. Playtime is her absolute favorite part of the day, whether is play wrestling, chasing, or just running zoomies around the yard. Little Lil can be a bit reserved at first until she trust you. She will need a good bit of patience in order to build trust. She is a young dog who needs a family to teach her how to be a pet. Little Lil would benefit greatly from things like hikes with friends, trips to Lowes or tractor supply, frequent car rides, etc. All of these things will help Lil grow into the confident, secure dog she is destined to be. She is still learning things like simple obedience and commands, but is making lots of progress with potty training and leash walking!  If you are willing to offer positive learning experiences, and a gentle, calm environment for this sweet girl, she is here waiting to meet your family! How do I act when I first meet new people? This sweet girl can be a bit shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, Little Lil's fun, goofy personality shines right through.  Other tips and tidbits: We celebrate Little Lil's birthday 07/09/2023. 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. March 16, 2025, 2:00 pm
