Looking for your next furry BFF? We don’t have perfect dogs — but we do have dogs who are perfect for the right someone.

Complete an application at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet, SC Weight: 19 lbs Height: 14 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $499 Fence needed? No - although he would love one, he does not have to have one. He would love long walks. Want To Know More About Me? Text Shaden to 864-441-9075 for my full story and photos - we'll send everything you need to know! Here's Your Quick Peek: Shaden is a sensitive, slow-to-trust boy who needs a calm, predictable home with an experienced owner willing to earn his devotion. Please note - if you want to skip the text and go straight to the application, you can find the link here: www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application/ Must have: A patient owner who lets him find his own way Exercise: Medium needs - a few walks, some slow and at least one brisk and he will be fine Best with: An older woman who is looking for her BFF Not ideal for: A home with very young children, a home with a ton of energy Energy level: A solid 3 out of 10 - he's very even Shaden struggles with new people and change, and will bark and keep his distance until he feels safe—this is not a dog for a busy home, frequent visitors, or a first-time owner. He is best suited for a quiet, adult home with an experienced handler; in that environment, he becomes deeply affectionate and loyal, forming a meaningful bond with “his person” that is absolutely worth the wait. If you want to tighten it even one more notch (like true pre-screen mode), I can add a subtle “not for...” line without sounding harsh. Good with dogs: Yes although he will bark at big dogs especially if they get rude Good with kids: We do not recommend kids. He really seems to like the company of women Cats: Unsure - can test if you have one Fun fact: He's a Jersey boy! Shaden came to us from New Jersey! Potential Adopters Dogs can’t drive - and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them.
