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: 6 lbs Height: 6 in Spayed/Neutered: No Adoption Fee: $499 Fence needed? Yes Want To Know More About Me? Text Paula to 864-441-9075 for an application (all we know about Paula is here in this description as of now) or go right here: www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application Here's Your Quick Peek: Paula is a young Maltese who is very shy, nervous, and still learning to trust people. She can be quick to run and evade handling, and because of her fear and uncertainty, she may react by growling if approached too fast or picked up without patience and care. There is not a mean or aggressive bone in Paula's body - she is simply a scared girl figuring out this new human world she's been thrown into. 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: Another dog and an experienced, patient adopter. Ideally, Paula will be placed with a family that has rehabilitated a puppy mill or breeder surrender dog in the past. Exercise: Low, but part of this is her shyness. Best with: Dogs. Paula really knows nothing about us humans and is still pretty skeptical. Not ideal for: Busy homes, inexperienced rescuers, or homes looking for an immediate pet. Paula is a project. Energy level: Low, but it's hard to know. Paula is so timid. Paula needs a quiet, calm, and predictable home with experienced dog owners who understand fearful dogs and will move at her pace. A confident, friendly dog companion will also be important to help her feel more secure as she continues to build confidence in the world. Good with dogs: Yes, she needs them. Good with kids: Absolutely no - they are even scarier than adults to Paula. Too much fast movement. Cats: Unknown - she's never lived with them. Fun fact: 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. Want updates and ways to help?
