My story

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

Like her composer namesake, our Rossini is something of a prodigy, but her chosen field of expression is affection. A sweet poodle princess currently recovering from some skin issues, she is a master of all the lap-based arts including cuddling, nuzzling, and snoogling. Gentle and attentive, she finds opportunities to soothe like a heat-seeking missile, moving in with a tender spirit and the intention to heal. She gets along with other dogs and likes treats, which is good news given her intelligence. Adopt this lovely girl for comfort and joy. Next thing you know, she’ll be doing your taxes.

Here's some notes from her foster:

Rossini is an absolute sweetheart. She is also eager for pets/cuddles and will rub her nose on your hand/arm the moment you stop to tell you to continue. Her tail wags like crazy every time you call her name and she loves to get up onto you when approaching you.

She is very food motivated! She is also very good at taking medication along with her meals. SHE LOVE TREATS! She is super delicate when taking treats and does not hurt one bit! She is great with getting up on the couch and taking elevators.

She is a puller on walks, but that is because she is so curious! She appears to be potty trained! She usually chills in her dog bed and snoozes for a majority of the day while i am working, but occasionally would come up on my lap.

Additional adoption info

All of our senior mutts are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given flea/tick/dewormer medication. Regular adoptions are typically $250, and there is no adoption fee for senior adopters and Hospice adoptions, though we love donations to help pay it forward for the next mutt!

Adoption application

If you know who you're interested in, fill out our questionnaire at muttville.org/how_to_adopt and we'll arrange a meeting either at our HQ or virtually with your mutt's foster parent. (Many of our lucky mutts live in foster homes!)
