Review for Carolina Poodle Rescue, Pacolet, SC, USA
I have been volunteering on a weekly basis for more than a year and I have seen this organization from the inside. I have been so impressed with the dedication of the staff, volunteers and supporters. Many employees take dogs home with them on a regular basis and almost all of them have adopted from CPR. Adoption counselors do a great job of matching dogs with adopters, taking into consideration the entire family and the needs of the dogs being placed. On the rare occasion that it's not the right fit, they have a policy of always providing support including taking the dog back to be placed with another family if necessary. I would highly recommend CPR to anyone looking to add a canine companion to their home.

Review for Carolina Poodle Rescue, Pacolet, SC, USA
My 10 year old daughter, Kimberly got me into the Caroling Poodle Rescue family. Kimberly began volunteering this past summer, and because of her age, she needed me to stay by her side for safety. What I have witnessed has truly been a blessing. Kimberly has a mild anxiety dissorder that sometimes makes it difficult to relate to those of us 2-legged animals. But we have discovered that she is right at home with the 4-legged folks. She has been to therapy and is medicated for her condition, but the biggest improvement has come over the past few months since she discovered CPR. I sincerely thank every CPR friend and family member and the wonderful staff at Dreamweaver Farm. The staff does a perfect job of making her feel "useful" by giving her a great blend of puppy playtime and meaningful chores. I see first-hand how well these animals are loved and cared for. I've watched them carefully screen adopters to look for just the right match. I've seen them hold, hug and kiss the animals as if they are the most precious gift. CPR doesn't just rescue and rehabilitate dogs. They do so much more.
