Review for Carolina Poodle Rescue, Pacolet, SC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

When we lost our Standard Poodle to cancer, I started looking for a dog charity thinking I could channel some of my grief by volunteering. I came across Carolina Poodle Rescue and found myself looking at their website everyday and reading about their dogs and their adoption stories. Then I started looking deeper at the people involved...these are animal lovers, not just poodle lovers. I was so taken at the different breeds of dogs that they willingly rescued. When it finally felt right, we contacted CPR, passed the rigorous adoption pre-approval process and drove to Greer to meet and hopefully bring home a Standard Poodle that would magically pick us as their parents. When we got there, we were not bonding with any of the Standards, but we were drawn to two Labradoodles that had recently come in. It was a bonded pair (brother and sister), but we only wanted one dog. We tried separating them, but they went bonkers. Donna in all her wisdom never told us that they would not allow the dogs to be separated...instead she let us come to the conclusion that these were our dogs and we left with both of them. They are magnificent dogs and we love them so....separating them would have been cruel and CPR did what was right for these dogs.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

None. I wish I would volunteer more than as a transporter.
