Kilough is as stunning as he is smart. With his classic handsome Rottie looks and impressive intelligence, he’s the total package. He is a super loving, eager-to-please boy who thinks everyone he meets—adults and kids alike—is his new best friend. He also gets along great with other dogs and loves to play! Since he is still a young, intact pup waiting until he's old enough for his neuter, he can occasionally get hyper-focused on other male dogs and show typical puppy humping behaviors, but with consistent redirection and his eventual neuter, he’ll easily navigate social settings.

This brilliant pup is already way ahead of the game! He is:

Fully housebroken

Crate trained

Up to date on all age-appropriate vetting

Microchipped

His Ideal Home: Kilough is a high-energy, highly intelligent working breed puppy. He isn't just looking for a yard to hang out in—he needs an active home that will provide both physical exercise and daily mental stimulation (think puzzle toys, trick training, or agility games!). Because he is so smart and eager to learn, structured training will be the key to helping him thrive and grow into the incredible companion he’s destined to be.

If you’re looking for a playful, loyal, and brainy best friend to join your active family, Kilough is ready to fill your home with endless love and fun!

Interested in adopting Kilough? Fill out an application today to meet this gorgeous boy!

Bambi came to CPR as a stray from Guilford County in rough condition. She arrived as a matted mess, desperately needing grooming and care. Since then, she has transformed into a beautiful, sweet, and loving Standard Poodle who is ready to find a family of her own.

Bambi is affectionate, playful, and intelligent. She enjoys spending time with her people, following them around, and quietly observing whatever is going on. She loves giving hugs and is known for being easy to get along with. While she takes a little time to warm up to new people, once she feels comfortable, her loving personality shines through.

She gets along well with other dogs, is clean in her kennel, and has made major improvements with leash walking. Bambi is also well‑behaved for grooming and handling.

Must have: Calm patient adopters, potentially another dog
Exercise: moderate — enjoys outdoor play and time with her people
Best with: adults or families with older children, calm households
Not ideal for: adopters expecting instant confidence
Energy level: medium — playful without being overwhelming

Turmeric is a sweet, affectionate Standard Poodle mix who came to CPR as a stray from North Carolina. When she first arrived, she was cautious and unsure of the world around her, but she has gained confidence every day and has blossomed into a loving companion.

She is affectionate, playful, and curious. Once she knows you, you're her new best friend. Turmeric loves her people, loves other dogs, and genuinely enjoys making new canine friends. She picked up crate training and potty routines very quickly and has proven to be a smart, eager learner.

Turmeric walks well on leash, is clean in her crate, and is well behaved for grooming and handling. One of her favorite things in the world is spending time with other dogs, and she's always hoping someone will join her for a game.

Good with dogs: yes — she loves other dogs and enjoys meeting new canine friends
Good with kids: unknown
Cats: unknown

Fun fact: Turmeric loves to rest her head in your lap and let you handle all the petting. She's surprisingly gentle and loves simply being close to her people.

Gigi is great with other dogs and enjoys their company. She walks fairly well on a leash but could always use a refresher. She enjoys activity and playtime but also loves simply being with her people. Because she bonds strongly, she is not ideal for homes where everyone is gone most of the day, as she wants to spend as much time with her family as possible.

Please Note: Carolina Poodle Rescue requires a meet and greet where everyone living in the home - all people and all dogs - will come to our farm to meet dogs. This is non-negotiable. Please do not apply if you and your family can't make this commitment.

Sandra has settled wonderfully into her foster home and is showing everyone what a sweet, playful, and fun girl she really is. She is doing well living with other dogs and loves having the opportunity to play. She has also done great with children she has met at adoption events and enjoys meeting new people.

Sandra is both house trained and crate trained, and at just 2 years old, she still has plenty of playful Husky energy. She would love a family that will include her in their activities, give her opportunities to play and explore, and then let her enjoy being part of the family at the end of the day.

Now that she is recovering from raising her puppies, we expect Sandra's healthy weight to be approximately 50–55 pounds. She will also be spayed as part of her vetting.

Sandra spent the last several months being a wonderful mama. Now she's ready to put motherhood behind her and enjoy being a young, playful dog again!

If you're looking for a beautiful, social, dog-friendly girl with a wonderful temperament and plenty of personality, Sandra may be your perfect match!
