Please Note: Carolina Poodle Rescue requires a meet and greet where everyone living in the home - all people and all dogs - will come to our farm to meet dogs. This is non-negotiable. Please do not apply if you and your family can't make this commitment.

Here's Your Quick Peek:

Noel is a hoarding dog who found her way into rescue. When we first met her in 2018, she was a frightened little wallflower who had spent her life surrounded by dogs but knew very little about being somebody's pet. Then Sheila adopted her, renamed her Noel, and quietly introduced her to a much bigger world. Noel learned what it meant to have a person, a home, a routine - and a life.

A few years later, a tiny four-week-old Morkie puppy named Tara joined the family. Noel became her mentor, her security blanket, and eventually her best friend. They have been together ever since.

Now Noel is 13 years old, and circumstances have changed again. Sheila has experienced a serious health crisis and can no longer care for the girls. Her request was simple - please keep Noel and Tara together.

We agree.

Must have: Tara. Noel and Tara are a bonded pair and will be adopted together. This was their owner's request, and we believe it is the right thing for both girls.

Exercise: Low. Noel is a laid-back senior who needs a couple of slow, meandering walks each day and then is quite happy to head back inside.

Best with: Tara, of course! Noel also gets along well with other dogs and has spent much of her life with canine company.

Not ideal for: A very busy or high-energy household. Noel has already had a lot of changes and deserves a quieter place to land.

Energy level: Low.

Noel is a sweet, gentle senior girl who is understandably a little confused by suddenly finding herself back in a group setting after so many years in a home. She is eating, drinking and doing all the things she should be doing - but this is not the life she thought she would return to. Having Tara beside her has made all the difference.

Medically, Noel has received regular veterinary care throughout her years with Sheila. Her recent records note elevated liver values that are being monitored and a presumptive diagnosis of chronic hepatopathy. A dental procedure was postponed because of those liver values. She also has several small age-related skin growths. We will share her complete medical history with potential adopters.

Good with dogs: Yes - Noel gets along with dogs of all kinds, although Tara is her girl.

Good with kids: Unknown. Noel is a very gentle dog, and we think she could do well with older, respectful children who have been taught kindness around senior dogs.

Cats: Untested since returning to us, but we would be happy to introduce her to a few cats and see what she thinks.

Fun fact: Noel looks beautiful in pink. She is absolutely a princess, and after everything this former frightened little hoarding dog has accomplished, we think the rest of her life should be spent being treated like one.

Noel once needed another dog to show her that the world was safe. Then, when Tara came along as a tiny puppy, Noel became the dog who showed her. Now these two best friends need one final home together.
