My personality

My story

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

“MILLIE” who is NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION was born April 25, 2022, weighs a healthy 52 pounds, and stands at 25″ tall (floor to her withers).

This sweet, extremely smart, silly, fun loving and sociable girl had been deeply loved and well cared for by a gal who was recently involved in a tragic car accident. Because her injuries required extensive surgeries and future medical care, she needed to find a good and loving home/family for her precious “Goldendoodle”.

Everyone knows how I feel about “Doodles”, but our daughter and daughter-in-law know this gal and asked that I help. So yes. With open arms, we have accepted Millie into our program.

But after Millie arrived and was bathed, shaved and groomed, this is what we then saw a POODLE!!!
Yes. OMG! Amazing! Even with her undocked tail, what a beautiful Standard Poodle! MANY other dog knowledgeable people who have met with Millie totally agreed with me.

An anonymous person has donated an “EMBARK dog DNA test”. A sample of Millie’s cheek swab was submitted and the results are: TO BE CONTINUED AS SOON AS WE HAVE THE RESULTS.

Regardless of the results, Millie is such a nice, loving, very quiet girl. She greatly enjoys being with us and follows us all around the house to see what we were doing. Millie will muzzle your hand so you will pet her.

She is very happy with the loving attention you can give her, including big warm hugs and belly rubs. She is always ready to meet new people, will shake their hand and sometimes will jump up on the people she meets; Yes, we’re working on that.

Millie has been an only dog, but she has been perfectly fine with all our Poodles. As seen in the video, Millie ignores the other dogs as she greatly enjoys running in our securely fenced yard (zoomies) while trying to chase all the squirrels who are in the trees.
Yes, Poodles were bred for hunting and her instincts are strong.

She also loves playing with her toys, going for a car ride and especially enjoys our daily 2-mile walk. Then she can see more squirrels and meet more people!

Millie is a perfect lady in our home (housetrained) and allowed to freely roam our home even while we are gone. She is very smart; will come, sit and stay when told to do so and knows when it’s time to eat (food motivated).

*A SECURLY FENCED YARD will be required as Millie has always had one and loves to run those Poodle “zoomies”!
*You must be physically able to handle a Standard Poodle.
*Preference will be given to a family with past Poodle experience.
*By herself or a friendly, large, fun loving dog would be just fine for her.

BUT PLEASE:
*NO small dogs, puppies or cats.
*NO aggressive or assertive dogs (they scare her and me).
*NO young children.
*Like most rescue groups, we do NOT adopt our Poodles to homes more than 1 day’s drive (round trip) from our location here in central Minnesota.

Millie has been Vet checked healthy, spayed, teeth cleaned, is up to date on her vaccinations, worming, has been microchipped and registered. Her heartworm/Lymes/Ehrlich/ Anaplasmosis (4DX) test was negative.

Also included is her leash, collar, harness, toys, a bag of quality dog food, a dog food container, dog dishes, a warm sweater, treats, a cute toy box, her large soft dog bed with a blanket and lots of good information to help your Poodle’s adoption move forward on the right paw!

As with all the other Standard Poodles we have adopted, Millie’s adoption fee is 1 million, trillion, zillion dollars. However, for the right family her adoption fee is $650.00 which includes $45.00 for our 7.375% Minnesota state sales tax.

Additional adoption info

Picket Fence Poodles adoption fee start at $250.00 (plus our Minnesota State sales tax) and goes up from there. This helps pay for SOME of our expenses! The fee is based on the poodles age, size and needs.

We will require an "Application For Adoption" to be filled out along with 3 references including one from your Vet.

A visit to Picket Fence Poodles so you can visit with us and the Poodle up for adoption takes place after we contact your references.

Adult Poodles available for adoption from Picket Fence Poodle Rescue include:
*A Veterinarian Check
*All Poodles ARE neutered or spayed, which increases your dogs chances of leading a longer, healthier and happier life with you.
*Up to date on shots.
*Teeth Cleaned
*Wormed
*Lymes, Heart worm and Ehrlichia tested AND placed on a preventative.
*"Home Again" micro chipped AND registered.
*Collar (or harness) and leash
*One month supply of dog food
*A special cute toy (or two)
*Bathed and professionally groomed!

If there are any health issues or problems, you will be instructed on how to deal with the problems.

We want your poodle "Adoption" to work!! If it doesn't work or for ANY REASON or for NO REASON you don't want the Poodle, we want the Poodle returned to us.

Our poodles are placed in good, loving homes, like yours, with the intention that they will receive the love and care that all God's creations were intended to receive.

We hope you understand that these poodles come to your home for the final day's of their lives: A "FOREVER MORE HOME!"

Go meet their pets

Please respect the fact that Picket Fence Poodle Rescue and Re-Home is not a Shelter, but a breed specific, home / family, foster care environment managed by volunteers here in central Minnesota.

We enjoy meeting with families interested in adopting one of our Poodles. However, everyone must understand that because we are NOT a Shelter, we do require an “Application For Adoption” to be filled out first. This helps us to determine if that Poodle is right for your situation and also used for our security.

As with most all Rescue Groups, our time is precious and our safety is important.

Sadly, it is the world we now live in so thank you for understanding and patience with us as we receive and go over the applications we receive for the Poodles who are available for adoption.

More about this rescue

PICKET FENCE POODLE RESCUE is a charitable and educational organization to rescue and supply Poodles with love, shelter, food, human companionship, medical care and spay-neuter services until permanent placement is secured into a pre-screened loving home, as long as the Poodle is not dangerous to humans or other dogs.

PICKET FENCE POODLE RESCUE will accept an adoptable Poodle who is either abandoned in a shelter, or purchased/rescued by any concerned person, or living with an owner who can no longer care for the Poodle. We also participate in rescue and placement of Poodles who are culled from Breeders or Puppy Mills.

PICKET FENCE POODLE RESCUE feels educating and informing the public about the commercial dog industry in America and about responsible pet ownership is very important as well as reviving the spirit of volunteerism in our great country.

PICKET FENCE POODLE RESCUE wishes to eliminate the euthanasia of any healthy, adoptable Poodles. We do not accept euthanasia as a means of population control for animals. We believe each Poodle's life is meaningful and each deserves a loving home. We take responsibility for each Poodle rescued and placed through Picket Fence Poodle Rescue for the rest of the dog's natural life.
