Gabby May 25 - In Foster in Rocky Mount, NC

My story

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.  Just browsing but interested in poodles and poodle mixes?  Please drop a note to applications@carolinapoodlerescue.org with your name, address and phone # and email.  We'll add you to our mailing list. thanks the CPR Adoption team   Date into Rescue: 05/08/2025 Reason for being in rescue: Gabby was surrendered by her owners to a rural NC shelter. Carolina Poodle Rescue pulled her from the shelter. Foster location: Foster Home in Rocky Mount, NC Special Needs? Gabby is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 06/27/25 Gabby had a dental polishing. During her spay surgery she also had 2 inguinal hernias removed. Weight: 6 lbs Height: 9 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $349 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Gabby is a dog that lives life on her terms. Is she cute - absolutely. Does she know it - undoubtedly. Will she make you work for it - every day! Gabby is looking for a home where the food is plenty and the beds are cozy. If you're looking for a dog that wants to be on our near you all the time, this is not your girl. She has a fiercely independent spirit. Gabby has always lived with other dogs but could honestly care less. She is all about those soft beds. She totally understands if you work outside the home - she'll be ready for some love when you get home. Kids could be okay, but only if they are older and will respect her boundaries. What is my personality like? Meet Gabby — a beautiful little Yorkie queen who lives life strictly on her terms. Gabby is a certified snack hoarder - stashing treats like she's prepping for a long winter (even though dinner is definitely coming). Sharing - Not her thing. She's got boundaries, okay! Gabby is an independent sort of gal who lets foster mom do her thing while she does hers — usually from the comfort of one (or two) soft, cozy beds. Gabby enjoys attention… but only when she asks for it. Until then, she’s happily ruling her little kingdom in peace. How do I act when I first meet new people? Gabby can be a little aloof. It isn't that she minds, it just depends on her mood. She's a little diva in training! Other tips and tidbits: Gabby is estimated at 9 years old. We celebrate her birthday 05/08/2016. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as 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. July 24, 2025, 10:38 am
