Story
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 Date into Rescue: 03/21/2019 Reason for being in rescue: Hollis was found as a stray in NC. CPR pulled him from the shelter. Foster location: Foster Home in Rocky Mount, NC Special Needs? Hollis has some vision impairment and will be evaluated for his candidacy for cataract surgery. Weight: 16.10 lb Height: in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $200 Fence needed? Yes, Hollis does not enjoy harnesses and leashes and needs the freedom of a fenced backyard to walk with his humans. What kind of home would be best for me? Hollis is a mature guy looking for an active, mature home. You can tell from the photos that this boy needs some caloric restriction and a more active life. Hollis is also best outside of a crate. He needs a very experienced owner. He will growl and snarl if you try to put him into a crate, take food from him, or put a leash on when he isn't ready to walk. Hollis is an independent boy looking for a home that will accept his independence. What is my personality like? Hollis is a sweet old man. He doesn’t let his age, or his heft slow him down. He loves everyone, and we don’t think he ever met a treat he didn’t love. He walks fairly well on a lead, but should use a harness due to his cough when pressure is applied to his throat. He also likes to be carried, we wouldn’t want to burn off all those cookies. Hollis rides well in a car, he sniffed around for a few min and stood on the center console to say hi. Hollis likes to be the center of attention, especially when treats are involved! If you ignore him, he woofs at you, and if you still don’t pay him attention, he will woof and stamp his little feet. Occasionally, when he hears something outside, he’ll bark a few times, but placing your hand on his back and telling him to be quiet usually does the trick. Grooming isn’t an issue with him, he doesn’t really mind. He will pick up a toy every now and again, but mainly likes to be scratched. If you can believe it, he will gobble down his food and look for more, meal time is best time for Hollis! Hollis will be best as an only dog. He really needs a fenced yard where he can walk and enjoy the sun without the confines of putting on a harness and leash to go outside. Hollis needs an experienced owner that can teach Hollis boundaries. How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly Other tips and tidbits: Estimated Birthdate: 2/25/2009. Hollis has a heart as big as his overweight body. This precious chunk charms everyone he meets! 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.
