Can’t have a dog of your own? Have a soft spot for old, sick or hard to place dogs? It only takes a $20 a month donation for me to be your virtual dog! I need at least 10 virtual adopters (sponsors) to help cover my monthly costs.  If I have medical challenges I need even more! r having to leave your home, you can have your very own online dog that will send you update emails, make Facebook posts, and be eternally grateful for your support!  Go to the donate link at the top of the page for instructions as to how to donate. Questions?  Email: cprsosdogs@carolinapoodlerescue.org

I love my Virtual Adopters! VICTORIA A

Why am I with a rescue group: Nadine was found as a stray and landed at a rural shelter. Whatever life was before rescue, it was not kind. Nadine is very shy, avoids eye contact and stays as far from people as possible, but will eventually warm up a little. Treats won't help, only time and a loving, patient person. Nadine came to us with heartworms. She has been treated and as of March 2020 is testing negative! 

Nadine is a sweet and shy soul. She seems very leery of men, and slightly leery of women at first. She was obviously maltreated before finding us, and that has affected her ability to trust. She does everything in her power to stay very far from strangers in her area. She doesn't bite, but will scamper away or cowers and rolls over on her back. Her eyes cry "love me", but her body language screams "please don't hurt me again". She will warm up to people, but it is a very slow process for men.  Women seem to have an easier time getting her to trust them. With the caregivers she knows, she greats them with a wagging tail and even does a little "happy dance". It takes time for her to trust, but it is worth it. Nadine has tons of potential for the right person willing to give her a chance. She will need a lot of training on a leash, as she does not cooperate on one, and stairs are totally foreign to her. She had to be carried up them like a baby.

Nadine won't play with toys at first. In time, she may start to play, but that won't happen until she feels safe and loved in her own environment. She does play with them here at the farm. She will eventually eat treats, but not from your hand or while you look at her at first. Our caregivers have earned her trust and now she takes them gently from their hands. She does seem to really enjoy when you baby talk to her, and she LOVES to rub her belly on the grass. When a dog violates her comfort zone, she will growl to let them know. Once she gets comfortable with you, she will rest her snout in your hands to let you love on her. 

Nadine finds comfort in the routine of Dreamweaver Farms. She knows and trusts her caregivers and is a loving dog toward people that have earned her trust. Nadine does have a high pray drive - no cats or small dogs for this girl. Nadine knows she is safe, well fed, has a warm bed, and will never be mistreated again as a member of our sanctuary program.

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.

Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.

Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. 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, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.

Thank you for considering CPR!
