If you want to skip straight to the application: www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application/ Here's Your Quick Peek: PLEASE ASK FOR TESSA'S FULL STORY!! Tessa has a long story to unpack and needs more room than our short description! Tessa is a sweet, sensitive Standard Poodle mix with a long past and a few quirks that an understanding adopter will need to work with. She's gentle, loyal, and attaches quickly once she feels safe. She loves soft beds, quiet routines, and following her person around like a shadow. Must have: A calm, consistent home with adults only, and experienced dog owner (Tessa is not for first time dog owners). Exercise: Low — short, easy walks on lead. Best with: Someone patient who understands back pain and gentle handling. Not ideal for: Homes with children or visiting children. Energy level: Low — quiet, steady companionship. Please note Tessa has reacted poorly in the past and needs an adopter who understands this. Please ask for her full story! Tessa is cautious about touch and prefers to know when she's going to be petted. She loves butt pets, soft voices, and predictable routines. She's a picky eater but enjoys soft food and settles in beautifully once she trusts you. Tessa does not like squeaky toys. Good with dogs: Yes — all dogs, big and small. Good with kids: Tessa requires a home without children, and home where children do not visit. Cats: Unknown. Fun fact: Tessa loves a cushy bed and will happily curl up nearby just to be close to her person.
