Save the Date -- Carolina Poodle Rescue Reunion
 We
are hoping to help people plan ahead this year and save
the date for the CPR Reunion! If you haven't come to a
reunion in the past, you've been missing out! This event
is held at Dreamweaver Farms, so it is dog friendly!
Adopters and their family members, human and canine,
return to the farm to celebrate with CPR staff,
volunteers, and other adopters and their dogs.
When: Saturday, October 21, 2017
Where: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet, SC
There will be a delicious lunch, vendors with items for
dogs and their people, a silent auction, tours of the
farm, and a costume contest for dogs (people can dress up,
too). Come meet some fellow adopters, the fantastic staff
who provide the care for the CPR dogs, adoption
counselors, and many other volunteers who may have helped
your dog along his or her way to your home. We will also
be holding a raffle to win two nights at the dog-oriented
mountain retreat, Barkwells!
So mark your calendars and come join us! We will be
sending out an email with further details and RSVP
information close to the date.
Second Feature
Pet of the Month
Meet Chipper!
Our first feature pets of the month--Nicolette
and Maggie B.--were adopted! So
now we'd like you to meet Chipper!
 Chipper
is a cocker spaniel estimated to be around 5 years old. He
originally came to the farm in 2016 from a hoarding
situation in Abbeville, SC. The poor guy was living in
deplorable conditions--no clean water, dirty and matted
hair, etc. Chipper was adopted and was happy until his new
owner's roommate got another dog. Chipper started resource
guarding his owner and not getting along with the new dog.
After his early experience, once Chipper finds something
good, he wants to hang onto it.
Chipper is a total love bug when he wants to be. He will
follow his person or people everywhere. He wants nothing
more than to be with you--and he will sometimes guard you.
Because of this, he needs a patient owner who is willing to
work with him. He is eager to please and could easily be
taught some basic commands. He gets excited on a leash and
tends to pull but with some work, he would be a great
walking companion. He loves to climb into a lap and lay his
head on someone's shoulder while he is being petted. He gets
along okay with some other dogs, but he is much more
interested in people! He was around a cat at the farm and
showed absolutely no interest.
He is crate trained and hops right into his crate at bedtime
without a fuss. He would do great with a single person who
is willing to earn his trust. He would also be a good family
dog with older, responsible children.
He did test positive for heart worms and he has just
completed his treatment for that, using the fast kill
method. He will need to be retested six months from now to
make sure that he is fully cured.

application page.
Happy Tails!
Juliette's Adoption
by Sarah Krauss (Juliette's foster
mom at CPR)
 Juliette
came to us as Juliet with another poodle named Romeo.
Romeo has his own story, but this is Juliette's.
In March 2016, Juliette was surrendered to a shelter. Both
she and Romeo were older pets, but Juliette was pregnant
and she had an injured back leg. Sadly, Juliette's puppies
did not survive and we learned that Juliette's injured leg
needed to be amputated. She recovered well at Dreamweaver
Farms and then came to the Krauss home to be fostered.
After coming to our home, Juliette had another major
medical hurdle. When preparing to spay Juliette in July,
we learned her mammary chain had many tumors. A partial
mastectomy was done and Juliette recovered from yet
another major surgery. In the fall, we noticed Juliette
was favoring one of her front legs, and we learned she had
arthritis. Pain medication was started; we were very
careful with the amount of exercise she received. Juliette
responded well to the medication.
 When
Romeo was adopted, Juliette never missed a beat. While
once she had lashed out at other pets who got close when
she was resting, she now didn't mind sharing a blanket
with another pet. She had proven excellent at house
training so she was not confined when I worked. She had
many beds in front of windows and I could tell that she
moved from one to another during the day. She learned my
husband gave snacks so she stayed close to hubby, getting
an extra snack at bedtime.
I will admit, my husband and I were surprised when there
was interest in adopting Juliette. After speaking with
potential adopters a couple of times and having it not
work out, we considered keeping Juliette. Donna Ezzell,
with her wonderful knowledge and abundant experience,
reminded me I was Juliette's voice and, while someone
could qualify to adopt Juliette, I needed to make sure I
found the PERFECT home for Juliette, so we decided to talk
with one more applicant.
Deb was delighted when I contacted her. Deb had lost a
poodle two years ago and was just now beginning her search
for another pet. I shared in detail Juliette's history,
her current medical condition and the cost of her care.
Deb never hesitated, she really wanted to meet Juliette.
One Saturday morning, Deb came. We discussed Juliette's
medication and Juliette's behavior when she tired. Deb
asked a thousand questions. It was a wonderful meet and
greet. So Juliette left, understandably a little nervous,
but Deb had boiled chicken in a cooler to offer as treats.
Juliette definitely perked up for the treats.
So precious Juliette is in a great home, further learning
to be someone's very special pet. Juliette will be an only
pet and receive all the attention, which is exactly
perfect for her.

Rusty--the
Little Red Dog (A Rescue Tale)
 Rusty--the
Little Red Dog is a wonderful children's book
about a Carolina Poodle Rescue dog, Rusty, that tells
his story. It is a great educational tale about rescues
and puppy mills for young children (and for adults who
don't know). All profits of the sales for this book go
to CPR to help other rescue dogs!
This book would make a
wonderful gift to any young children you know, and
grandchildren and a great donation to your favorite
elementary school, church, hospital, day care, Boy's
Club, Girl's Club or any other organization for
children. Please consider buying several and sharing
them throughout your community. The younger the kids
are when they learn about rescue and puppy mills, the
more progress we can make toward supporting rescues
and stopping puppy mills!
Share the Amazon
link with all your friends and on Nextdoor!
Please Stay in Touch
If you
have moved or plan to move in the near feature,
please drop a line to CPR and let us know! We
don't want to lose touch. Just send an email with
your new mailing address and/or email address to
melinda.j@carolinapoodlerescue.org. We always love
hearing from the CPR community!
And if you have a story about
your CPR dog (or cat), we'd love for you to share
it--happy homecomings, travel adventures, training
achievements, or simply a story that you'd like to
share about your CPR family member. Please send it
to newsletter@carolinapoodlerescue.org.
