Harley OH Jan 24 Standard 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

Fence needed? It is preferred for Harley. But let's talk... it depends on how much off leash exercise you can give him in a week.

What kind of home would be best for me? Harley is a breeder release and had minimal socialization before arriving here at CPR. This means most every interaction and encounter was a new experience for Harley. Despite this he has adapted well. He is not fearful, but curious. When entering a new environment or encountering something he's never seen before he needs about 10 to 15 minutes to process the situation before adapting to it. Sometimes a little reassurance is required. Because we have seen this process, we believe he will have no problem adapting to his new forever home.

Harley is a big boy that needs to live in a house rather than an apartment. It's not required the house have fenced yard, but it never hurts to have a fence when you have a dog. Harley is just a chill dude who wants to hang out with his new family. He will need to be taught the basic commands and how to walk on a leash. While a big guy, he is not high strung or playful. For these reasons his caregiver believes he'd be a phenomenal dog for a senior or senior couple. Since he is a big boy, we don't recommend him for homes with small children. Harley has been tested with cats and small dogs and was curious about both, but showed no issues toward them in a meet and greet environment.

What is my personality like? Harley is a calm, mellow dude who's favorite thing to do is chill. The only thing he will seek out is love from you. He'll sit by your side in a state of bliss if you are petting him and loving on him. Harley just loves to chill, get love from you, and watch the world go by.

Carolina Poodle Rescue is pleased to work with breeders who are eager to have their dogs find a home. When our site mentions breeder release, we want adopters and supporters to know that this dog will require extra care transitioning into your home. Please know this is a rehabilitation process for the dog. It is a commitment to showing the dog how to be social, building trust, house training, and separation anxiety. Many people use these phrases to describe the rehabilitation process as watching a dog 'blooming' or 'coming out of their shell'. It is a highly rewarding process for you and the dog. We are here to help you support your commitment to your dog.

All Harley really begs for is your love. When you meet him we are certain he will work his way into your heart and fill it with love.

How do I act when I first meet new people? Harley is an absolute sweetheart. He will amble up to you and ask for pets. He's not fearful of people. There's no other way to describe Harley, the dude is just an absolute sweetheart, a very good boy.

Other tips and tidbits: Harley's birth date is 1/5/2018 as estimated by our vet.

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.
