Arnie Oct 25

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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Our descriptions contain all that we know about this dog today. We'll update as more information is known.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>thanks<br/>the CPR Adoption team<br/><br/>Date into Rescue: 10/18/2025<br/>Reason for being in rescue: Arnie was pulled from a rural SC shelter<br/>Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC<br/>Special Needs? Arnie is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Arnie has a previous injury to his left knee of unknown injury. It creates some stiffness in his leg when he walks. No marathons for this boy! Radiographs completed by our veterinarian will be provided. There is no recommended medical intervention. Arnie was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on him. Our best guess is that he is a standard poodle mix. We cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic or that he won't shed.<br/>Weight: 53 lbs<br/>Height: 24 in<br/>Spayed/Neutered: Yes<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $599<br/><br/>Fence needed? No<br/><br/>What kind of home would be best for me? Arnie is a gentle, wonderful boy that is versatile in many homes. What he wants is you - a family to call his own and do things with. Arnie is equal parts chill and play. He is good with other dogs but would be equally happy as your only dog. He'd love to go for walks and short hikes (see medical notes above on a previous injury that makes a leg stiff at times) and then relax with you in the evenings.<br/><br/>What is my personality like? Arnie is an estimated 9.5-year-old Standard Poodle mix with just the right mix of experience, confidence, and joy for life. He’s a distinguished gentleman with a playful spirit — the kind of dog who’s seen a bit of the world, knows what he likes, and is ready to share his next great adventure with you.<br/><br/>With his proud posture and kind eyes, Arnie carries himself with quiet confidence. He’s past the puppy chaos, but don’t let his age fool you — this boy still has plenty of pep in his step! Arnie loves getting outside, exploring trails, and taking in every new scent the world has to offer. Whether it’s a long hike through the woods or a peaceful walk around the neighborhood, Arnie is happiest when he’s out and about with his favorite person by his side.<br/><br/>Arnie came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about his past. But we have every reason to believe he’s possibly lived in a home before. There’s a familiarity in the way he looks to people for guidance, the way he relaxes around kindness, and the way he seems to remember what “home” feels like. With a little patience and gentle structure, we’re confident Arnie will settle into a household routine with ease — as though he’s simply remembering a life he once knew.<br/><br/>When it comes to other dogs, Arnie can hold his own. He’d do well as the only dog in the home, soaking up all your love and attention, or with another calm, confident companion who matches his mature energy. He’s not one for chaos or small, overly excitable dogs — Arnie prefers peaceful company and good vibes.<br/><br/>Despite his refined demeanor, Arnie still has a goofy side. He loves playtime, a good romp in the yard, and those spontaneous moments of joy that remind you he’s still got that spark of puppyhood tucked inside. And after a day of adventure, he’s all about curling up beside you for a well-earned rest — content, calm, and completely devoted.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a faithful friend who’s always up for a hike, a walk, or just a quiet evening by your side, Arnie is ready to join you on every step of life’s journey. He’s the perfect balance of energy, affection, and experience — the kind of companion who makes every day a little brighter.<br/><br/>How do I act when I first meet new people? Arnie is a distinguished gentleman. He walks into a room with confidence and poise, eager to meet new friends but not overly rambunctious.<br/><br/>Other tips and tidbits: Arnie was found as a stray, so we have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition, he is estimated at 9 years old. We celebrate his birthday 10/18/2016.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>To apply, please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and visit the tab on the left that directions you to the online application.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Thank you for considering CPR.
