My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

It has been awhile since we received rescued Poodles.

However, with the recently passed Minnesota Law, HF 84, we and many other rescue groups are encouraging Millers and BYB's to start registration of their facility in July of this year. The compliance for licensing and inspections involved in being a Dog or Cat Breeder in Minnesota starts in 2015.

Pictured right is "Pebbles", on the left side and next to her is her lifetime friend "Cola", after they arrived from northern Minnesota

As pictured, you can see these two are very scared and unsure of what is going on. They cling to each other for support; a "bonded pair" and will need to be adopted together.

Pebbles and Cola have been together as a breeding pair, but have not produced puppies in over a year.

They have served their time and now come to us in need of a family where they can spend their final years together in a gentle and loving home.

Cola is a 9 year old brown Toy Poodle who is about 8.5" tall and 8.5 pounds. Like Pebbles, he could also lose some weight.

Cola is feeling much better after ALL of his rotting teeth were removed. He still loves his food and will quickly gobble down his hard kibble. NO soft food for this boy!

The infection in his mouth spread to his lungs which caused him to cough a lot. X-rays showed that his heart is just fine. The coughing is much better. He is wearing a harness which also helps.

Cola was also neutered, heartworm tested negative and placed on antibiotics. He is feeling MUCH BETTER and has become more involved with people, toys and his new life with people. He is even running around the house with a toy in his mouth! VERY cute!

While Cola and Pebbles have enjoyed each others company for a long time, we have found that Cola is now enjoying his life without Pebbles in his kennel!

We have separated the two so they each have their own "home" kennel. Cola is no longer such a "grumpy old man" and Pebbles greatly enjoys not being growled at all the time.

Yes, Cola and Pebbles are doing just fine and are now available for adoption. Preference will be given to families willing to adopt the two together, but we would be willing separate the two.

Please no large dogs or small children. A fenced yard will be suggested as we work on leash training. Both will continue to need more work and socialization as they learn about living their life with good people!

Their adoption fee of $200.00 each or $350.00 as a pair includes all their Vet work, Kennels, blankets, toys, leash, collar/harness, new beds, bags of dog food, treats and lots of information to help your adoption start off on the right paw forward.

We will also include a new DVD from Animal Planet entitled: "Training Your Adopted Dog" with lots of great information.

Because we are a foster based, home environment group an “Application For Adoption” must be completed.
Please visit our web site or contact me if you have any specific questions about Cola and would like his "Application For Adoption".
