    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

    Date into Rescue: 03/15/2025
    Reason for being in rescue: Lovingly surrendered by owner
    Foster location: Foster Home in Rocky Mount, NC
    Special Needs? Stryker is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.
    Weight: 10 lbs
    Height: 12 in
    Spayed/Neutered: Yes

    Adoption Fee: $349

    Fence needed? Yes, without exception. Stryker is a flight risk. He requires the security of a physically fenced yard.

    What kind of home would be best for me? We're looking for a very specific home for Stryker. Our first preference is for a family with experience rehabilitating a dog that as had very little life experience. Though he came out of a home, Stryker is incredibly nervous around new people and lacks socialization. Stryker requires another young, small, active dog in the home that will model confident behaviors. Stryker is not a fit for a home with children; he does not like unexpected movements. Stryker must have a physically fenced yard. He knowns nothing about walking on a leash and is a flight risk. Sorry, but this means no apartments for this handsome boy.  And finally, Stryker would really love a home that knows and understands his breed. 

    What is my personality like? Stryker was surrendered by an owner who loved him very much. He was never socialized outside of his mom and the other dog in the home. As a result, Stryker behaves as though he has never been touched until he knows and trusts you.

    Once Stryker knows you, he loves you completely. The happy, well-adjusted Stryker loves to be cuddled, sleeps in the bed at night, and will give you his entire heart. With ongoing socialization and a consistent, patient home he can grow into a more confident, well-adjusted boy.

    How do I act when I first meet new people? Stryker is very, very shy. Though he's been raised in a home, he is still timid around new people. He will not come to meet you upon greeting. 

    Other tips and tidbits: Stryker is 3 years old. We celebrate his birthday 03/15/2022.

    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.
