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 .carolinapoodlerescue 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.

We'll add you to our mailing list. thanks the CPR Adoption team Date into Rescue: 11/08/2018 Reason for being in rescue: Lovingly surrendered by owners because he disliked one of the members in the relationship Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Griff has a bite history Weight: 60 lbs Height: 27 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $499 Fence needed? Yes without exception. What kind of home would be best for me? Griff needs a low traffic home and an experienced dog owner. He needs a home that will offer him both daily physical and mental exercise. He is bright and if he is bored he can be trouble. He wants an owner who will love him but will let him come to him. Patience and a calm, even personality is a must. Grif does much better with women and would be best in a home with only women. He needs to be the only dog and will not do well with children. What is my personality like? Griff thrives on confident, controlled people who do not show fear. If he thinks you are afraid of him, he will take advantage of you. If he knows you respect him but do not fear him he will lay his heart at your feet. Griff has been trained under a shock collar and it has created a lot of the challenges we are overcoming. He was shocked when he barked. He was shocked when there was any sort of behavior that was deemed "unacceptable." It has shaped his behavior in such a way that we are now working to unshape that fear and re-establish trust. Griff is a sweet dog once he knows you. Griff is very timid and takes a while to warm up. He can be a little aggressive in the beginning. He loves to sun bathe outside and is a very calm chill dog when he’s comfortable. He’s very smart also, he sits and waits for his food and doesn’t bark or act crazy. He can resource guard at times also. He does have some barrier aggression when another dog is walking by his run. Griff would enjoy being a couch potato and someone’s best friend!! How do I act when I first meet new people? You have to ignore Griff and let him come to you. Don't reach out to him, let him smell you and get comfortable with you. Once he knows you he is a wonderful, loving companion. Our ops manager can do anything with him. Other tips and tidbits: Griff's birthday is 4/8/2014. 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 .carolinapoodlerescue 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.
