Adopt a Bearded Collie / Terrier / Mixed (long coat)
Bear of Rowan (hw+) the Dog needs a home
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 [email protected] with your name, address and phone # and email. We'll add you to our mailing list.
thanks

Special Needs? Experienced owners only, this is a LOT of dog. Bear is highly heartworm positive (HW+). He will be sent home with a year supply of heartworm medication. He is being treated with a method called the slow kill treatment. He takes a monthly Ivermectin based heartworm preventative and needs to be re-tested for heartworms every 6 months. Once he tests negative, then he can take any kind of heartworm preventative; he is not restricted to Ivermectin based only. PLEASE NOTE our heartworm positive dogs MUST be kept on this method of treatment. Make sure to talk with you vet about this method before submitting an application.
Weight: Estimated 55 lb
Height: Estimated 24 in at the shoulder Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $200
Fence needed? Yes, he needs room to run and play.
What kind of home would be best for me? Bear will need an active home with owners that are willing to work out his puppy like quirks.
What is my personality like? Oh Bear! He is a character! A sweet boy with tons of potential with the correct family. He was found as a stray in North Carolina and taken to a local shelter. When we got the call for this boy, we could not turn him away.. look at that sweet scruffy face! Bear is very playful and silly and will keep you on your toes. You will never be bored or lonely. At first he didn't like a leash on him, but he is getting used to it. He still needs practice because of his pulling. When he gets excited, he does mouth at you. Don't be alarmed! We call them love bites. With a good smelling treat you can make him sit as long as nothing else is going on. He will even stay as you walk back a few steps again all of this for his favorite thing in the world... treats! Although, If he's wanting to run you can't get his attention unless you put a treat in his face. When Bear first arrived at the farm the caregivers were a little apprehensive of him. He wouldn't let you leash him or even touch his neck. But he has quickly overcome those hurdles in just 2 short weeks! With the right home he would make a great dog, but he is a lot of dog and he needs someone who enjoys training and is consistent and firm. We can't emphasis this enough - he is a LOT of dog. Bear has come a very long way. He is a lot of dog and sometimes overwhelms other dogs.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly
Other Tips and Tidbits: He can be dog reactive, so a meet and greet with other dogs is a must.
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.
