Ernie OH Jul 23 Poodle Pacolet, SC

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

What kind of home would be best for me? Ernie is a two-year-old active little guy. He enjoys walks but goes at a leisurely pace. Ernie longs for an owner who will let him snuggle up on the bed with you. His foster says Ernie loves to sleep and cuddle there with you. He walks well on a leash, but a little refresher training never hurts. He needs taught his basic commands such as sit, stay, come, down, etc. Ernie does well with other dogs, we are not sure how he does with cats. Ernie would like a home with another dog, a confident dog that he could learn from as he develops into the good boy he is destined to become. He also isn't fond of car rides. Ernie needs a house with a fenced yard as he doesn't like to potty on his walks, he prefers the privacy of his yard for that.

What is my personality like? Ernie was extremely shy before going to his foster home. He arrived in rescue as part of a group of dogs surrendered by a breeder. He'd never known what it meant to be a companion or pet. Everything was new. And then came along a loving, experienced foster home to teach Ernie all about life. While there he has a love for toys and playing. Ernie will need his new adopter to continue providing toys and playtime.

Ernie is not destructive in a home. He knows what is appropriate to chew on. He is not nearly as shy now, but he can still be a bit reserved at times. Ernie is not a picky eater. He does not enjoy crates and wants a home that does not crate. He loves to sleep in bed with his foster and his foster asks that his next home let him in bed. Ernie is an angel on a leash and prefers to go on walks often. His foster says that Ernie gains confidence once on the leash!

Ernie has grown so much with his foster home and she can't wait for someone to scoop him up!

How do I act when I first meet new people? Ernie is a very curious but shy guy upon first meeting. He's a bit like a tea kettle in that regard. Give him a bit of time and he'll warm right up to you. As with the tea, that time spent waiting will be well worth it for this fun little guy.

Other tips and tidbits: Ernie's birthday is 10/26/2021.

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.
