1. Skipper: 2-year-old Poodle-Australian Shepherd Mix
Skipper is a happy, affectionate, and energetic pup who came to Carolina Poodle Rescue as part of an owner surrender with three other dogs. Despite his crowded past, this sweet boy has a zest for life and a whole lot of love to give!

Skipper would thrive in an active household—whether it’s a single adopter, couple, or family—so long as he receives plenty of attention and physical activity. A fenced yard (minimum 4 feet) is a must for his safety and play needs. Skipper cannot be placed in a home with large dogs or where large dogs frequently visit. Learn More
2. Chicory: Calm Dalmatian Mix
Chicory is a sweet, treat-loving pup with a gentle heart and a curious spirit. At just under 2 years old, this handsome Dalmatian mix is still getting the hang of life but is already showing tons of promise. He’s easy to handle, motivated by snacks, and likely housetrained—he’s been holding it like a pro in his kennel! While he can pull a bit on leash, he’s a quick learner and would thrive with some positive reinforcement training.
Chicory isn’t looking to be the center of the party—he’s more of a quiet observer, polite and independent. He’s the type of dog who will blossom in a patient home that respects his easygoing vibe and gives him space to build confidence. Learn More

6. Snuffy: 1-year-old Dalmadoodle

Despite being found as a stray, Snuffy already knows how to “sit” and shows signs of having been loved. At about a year old and 64 pounds, he’s the ultimate adventure buddy—playful, loving, and always ready to make you smile.

Once a cherished house dog, Tony was surrendered by his owner and is now navigating the unfamiliar world of shelter life. He’s housebroken, neutered, and according to his previous owner, good with cats. Though he’s understandably nervous in the shelter environment, he remains curious, affectionate, and eager to connect with gentle humans.
He prefers to steer clear of other dogs, especially in the play yards, but it’s clear he’s still processing the change in his world. With a stunning grey-and-white coat and soulful eyes to match, Tony knows how to “sit” for treats and leans into affection when he feels safe. Learn More
