Aiden 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: 2/13/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Aiden was seized in a cruelty case and landed at a SC shelter. Carolina Poodle Rescue pulled him from the shelter. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Aiden is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.  We were told Aiden is a standard poodle, but only a DNA test will confirm if he is mixed breed. His coat is more similar to a doodle.  Given this, we cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic. Weight: 45 lbs Height: 24 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $599 Fence needed? Yes, Aiden requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller. What kind of home would be best for me? Aiden will thrive in a calm and steady home. The hustle and bustle of young children, busy gatherings, and constant stimulation may be just too overwhelming for his sensitive soul. He needs peace, predictability, and kindness—every single day. What Aiden needs: Another confident, kind dog in the home – a friend to play with, to follow, and to remind him the world isn’t so scary, a calm, patient home – no chaos, just gentle hands and soft voices, a guiding human – someone who will show him that the world can be good, a lot of play and a lot of love – once he’s comfortable, this boy is so ready to live life Aiden doesn't have a preference when it comes to whether his adopter is a single person, a couple, or a family, as long as they’re as active as he is! He wants a family that will engage with him, take him on regular walks, and include him in all their adventures, whether it's hiking in the woods, climbing mountains, or hitting the beach. Aiden loves to be with his humans as much as possible! What is my personality like? Don't tell him - he thinks life is just grand! Meet Aiden – A Soft Soul with a Big Heart, Ready for His Forever. Aiden is a standard poodle with a past that no dog should ever have to endure. Pulled from an abuse case, his story is one of quiet strength and fragile hope. While his body is healing, his heart is still learning that not all hands hurt—and that some homes truly mean forever. Aiden is not broken, but he is tender. He can be timid and cautious, especially when the world moves too fast or voices grow too loud. And if trust is shaken, it takes him time to rebuild. But if you earn his heart - you get all of it. With the people he trusts, Aiden is playful, loving, joyful, and loyal beyond measure. He wants nothing more than to be near you, to play with you, to lean into your love like it’s the safest place in the world—because to him, it is. He doesn’t just crave connection—he treasures it. He’s not looking for just any person. He’s looking for his person, his family. If you believe in second chances and you’re ready to love a dog who will love you back with everything he has, Aiden is waiting. He's not just looking for a home. He’s looking for that piece of himself that was misused. How do I act when I first meet new people? Aiden will require some time to settle, but once he feels safe, his affection is vast and his loyalty unshakable.  Other tips and tidbits: Aiden was born on or about 2/6/2023. 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. July 17, 2025, 4:55 pm
