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.

Date into Rescue:10/19/2024
Reason for being in rescue: Breeder release.
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Rudis is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Rudis is a doodle (we do not know his breed mix; our best guess is bernedoodle). We will never guarantee that a doodle is hypoallergenic or that they will not shed. If you have allergy concerns, Rudis is not your guy.
Weight: 37 lbs
Height: 20 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $599
Fence needed? Yes, Rudis requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller.
What kind of home would be best for me?
Rudis will adapt to your lifestyle whether you are a single person, a couple, or a family. This three-year-old pup prefers an active lifestyle filled with walks, trips to the dog park, and opportunities to join you in your daily activities. Keeping him engaged will help him stay happy and healthy.
He thrives on love and attention, so a home where his adopter is present most of the day would be ideal. This will not only ensure he receives the affection he craves but also allow ample time for training.
Rudis would be fine as an only dog, but he would enjoy a canine companion. While our ideal home for retired dogs has another young dog in it, Rudis could be adopted to a home where he is the only dog as long as there is a solid plan for regular socialization a minimum of 4 times per week.
Socialization occurs when dogs are off leash and free to be themselves, unencumbered by human restraints (other than the fence that keeps them safely contained). Socialization times would be for instance, inviting a neighbor or friend over with their dog to play in your fenced yard or going to someone else's home to play in their fence yard. Socialization time could be doggy daycare. Socialization time could be a group walk if you include a playtime at the end of it. Training classes do not always include socialization time. Some puppy classes do include a period of time at the end where the dogs can romp and play together. This would be perfectly acceptable. Time can also take place inside the home, it does not have to be an outdoor area, as long as the dogs are free to interact with each other without leashes or other restraints.
What is my personality like? Say hello to Rudis, a charming young, blue merle Bernedoodle who's eager to find his forever home He's lived most of his life in a home where breeding was the name of the game. He's officially retired and ready to learn how to be your pet and companion.
While Rudis isn't fond of the leash initially, he settles down quickly and learns to walk nicely with a bit of patience. He sits well on command but will need guidance on other basic commands. With his love for people (and treats!), he's sure to be a quick learner. Using treats as rewards will keep him motivated and excited to learn!
Rudis is friendly with all the dogs he's met, though he hasn't interacted with cats yet. While he may be a bit wary initially, his love for people shines through once he feels comfortable.
If you're searching for a loyal companion who's ready to share a big heart full of love, Rudis is the pup for you.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Rudis will be a little wary and shy upon initially meeting you. However, sit down on the grass and soon he will be leaning against you for pets, belly rubs, and hugs. This little guy lives for your loving.
Other tips and tidbits: Rudis was born on 8/31/2024.
House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if 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.
