Hershey Nov 23 - A Special Sebaceous Adenitis Boy Standard Poodle & Irish Setter Mix 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

Special Needs? Hershey is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Hershey is an Irish Setter / Standard Poodle mix - hence his beautiful red color. Hershey has an auto immune disorder called sebaceous adenitis. It means that his hair is thinning and ultimately he will lose a lot of it. He gets a nice bath regularly to help manage. Hershey is a setter/poodle mix. He is not hypoallergenic and does shed.
Weight: 52 lbs
Height: 24 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Adoption Fee: $1 - I am priceless

Fence needed? Yes, Hershey requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller

What kind of home would be best for me? Hershey is a younger dog with an old spirit. He is great with other dogs, but would be happy as your only dog. He enjoys a good romp or walk, but isn't in need of marathon runs. Hershey is definitely more of a calm gentleman who will thrive in an environment that is medium energy. We don't know if he has ever lived with children, but Hershey has an energy well suited for children over 8. He is fine with small dogs and cats.

What is my personality like? Hershey was surrendered to a rural shelter by his owners. We have no idea why, and no history. What we do know is that the shelter recognized that his hair was different and that he had an auto immune disorder that impacts his hair growth. They realized it would take the right home that would embrace his beautiful personal style and be committed to his care. They reached out to rescue for help, and we said yes.

Hershey is a big baby. He loves to give hugs, he loves everyone and just wants everyone to love him. His favorite thing is to be petted behind the ears. Hershey gets alone well with other dogs and doesn't mind cats. He is food motivated. Hershey is very clean in his crate. He has a solid Netflix and chill vibe.

Hershey is not hypoallergenic and does shed.

How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly

Other tips and tidbits: Hershey's birthday is 5/10/2020

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 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.
