Meet An Adoptable Dog

Why am I with a rescue group?

Alaina is a nearly 10-year-old Bichon Frise, registered with the American Canine Association. She was surrendered by her previous owner after spending her life as a breeder dog on a farm in Ohio. During her time as a breeder, Alaina never experienced life as a pet or the comforts of a loving home.

As she approaches her Golden Years, you might think she dreams of finding a forever family who understands and cherishes a senior dog. But we're not entirely sure that's the case. Alaina’s caregiver describes her as a “dog’s dog”—she has a select group of canine companions that she enjoys being around, but she doesn’t actively seek affection from humans. In fact, she didn’t receive love from humans during her years as a breeder and has never learned to fully trust or seek them out now.

Alaina picks her people. She has a special bond with her primary caregiver, and though she won’t allow anyone else to pick her up, she will willingly go to her favorite human when it's time for her crate at night.

What Alaina does love is spending time with other dogs. Her happy, easy-going demeanor can brighten the mood of any dog around her. She’s clean in her crate, enjoys playing with toy footballs, and loves spending time with her canine companions.

Life at the rescue farm suits Alaina perfectly, happily playing with her pack and getting love from her favorite human. 

She will tell you, “

I’m safe and comfortable here. CPR is a wonderful place to live. I have lots of doggy pals to hang out with. My caregivers give me plenty of food and treats. They have toys for us to play and I always have fresh water. Now that the winter weather has arrived, I have a nice, heated house to live in and blankets to snuggle up in. This summer it was hot and humid for months; I slept in a nice, air-conditioned building. They’ll even provide medical care if I ever need it. It’s the perfect retirement home for me!

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!  The caregivers at Carolina Poodle Rescue will do the rest.  Just think, without ever 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.
