Looking for your next furry BFF? We don’t have perfect dogs — but we do have dogs who are perfect for the right someone. Our goal is to match each dog with the home that fits them best and each home with the dog that will sing to your heart. Ready to adopt? Complete an application at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet, SC Weight: 23 lbs as of 10/22/26 Height: About 20" at the shoulder Spayed/Neutered: Yes, Smokey is neutered. Adoption Fee: $699 Fence needed? No. Smokey would love a fenced yard, but it is not required. We are looking for a family with a plan for safe, off-leash exercise and play at least twice per week, once he has been medically cleared for unrestricted activity. Want To Know More About Me? Text Smokey to 864-441-9075 for my full story - we'll share everything you need to know! Here's Your Quick Peek: Sheer joy! That's Smokey in two words. This adorable young black poodle mix loves everybody, plays with every dog he meets, and approaches life with so much enthusiasm that sometimes all four feet leave the ground at once! He's smart, affectionate, endlessly entertaining, and quite possibly the happiest little Superboy we've ever met. 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: Everyone who lives in your home, including every resident dog, must come to our farm for the meet and greet. This is a firm requirement of our adoption process, not an optional request. When you answer YES to this question on our application, you are confirming that you are willing and able to make that trip with your entire household. Please discuss schedules, transportation, and other arrangements before applying. We will not schedule a meet and greet without everyone present. If you cannot make this commitment, please do not apply. Exercise: Smokey is a young, active poodle mix who loves to run, romp, and play. Once medically cleared, he will need daily activity and opportunities for safe, off-leash exercise at least twice per week. A fenced yard would be wonderful, but a family with a thoughtful exercise and socialization plan will also be considered. His current veterinary restrictions must be followed until his orthopedic follow-up is complete. Best with: An active, loving family with another young, playful dog who enjoys wrestling, romping, and being silly. Smokey absolutely adores canine companionship. His current best friend is a little white poodle princess named Colette, and the two are quite a pair! He also loves people and is delighted to make new friends. Not ideal for: A quiet household looking for a laid-back couch potato or a home where Smokey would spend long hours without companionship and opportunities to play. He is a puppy with all the enthusiasm, curiosity, and energy that comes with being young. Energy level: High! Smokey is a busy, happy, playful puppy who throws himself wholeheartedly into everything he does. Smokey is currently enjoying a temporary foster home this week, where he figured out the doggie door on his very first try! He's walking proudly on a leash, learning his household manners, and making his foster mom very proud. He has had an occasional overnight crate accident at the rescue, but we're wondering if his best friend Colette, who was sleeping right next to him, was keeping him awake. He's making wonderful progress! Good with dogs: Absolutely! Smokey loves dogs of all shapes and sizes and plays enthusiastically with everyone. His friendship with Colette is especially adorable. Good with kids: Loves people! We have not yet specifically evaluated him with young children. Cats: Not yet tested. Fun fact: Smokey can jump like a goat! All four feet straight up in the air when he's excited. And for Halloween, he dressed as Superboy, complete with his very own superhero cape. We think the name fits him perfectly! Please request Smokey's full medical history before applying. He has had some challenges and is working through them beautifully. 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.
