My story

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

Meet Yeti, a beautiful cream standard poodle who is ready to fill your home with all the love your heart can handle. He is clumsy in the cutest way, and as soft as you imagine a cloud would be.

Yeti is a poodle mix, and will need regular grooming maintenance every 4 to 8 weeks, please do not apply if you’re unable to provide such grooming needs.

HISTORY
Yeti's estimated DOB is May 30, 2025. He was surrendered to us Mid-December at 6.5 months old, as one of two left from a litter that did not get rehomed as young pups. Their parents have been sterilized, and the family needs help placing the remaining pups, so they chose to surrender them to us for help.

Yeti is located in Kennewick in Eastern Washington. We advertise our dogs in a variety of locations in an effort to improve their chances of finding great homes. We can assure you, this pup is well worth a road trip! However, if necessary we will arrange transport to bring him to an approved adoptive home within the Pacific Northwest.

SOCIALIZATION
Yeti is a giant puppy who enjoys playing with other dogs, and snuggling up to his people. He does not have any experience with cats. Yeti doesn't have any experience with pets outside of his household, but he is social and friendly, and his gentle temperament indicates that he would really enjoy a forever home with a canine companion or two.

Yeti’s ideal home would be one where he is challenged. He needs someone who is going to keep him active, both physically and mentally! If you can provide Yeti with daily walks, mental enrichment, affection, regular grooming requirements, and structure, please do not hesitate to apply.

He is currently being housed with 4 other poodles, male and female. The household does not have cats. He is around people of all sizes and sexes, and loves everyone the same.

GENERAL TEMPERAMENT AND BEHAVIOR
Yeti is a very gentle giant, as we like to call dogs of his size and demeanor. While he is an active breed, and will need someone active, he also knows the value of a good chunk of sleep. This kid will curl up on the couch with you any time of the day, and enjoy every second of it.

Yeti is a high energy puppy, and needs someone who will keep up with him every day. It’s not all about hiking and running though, mental stimulation is vital to keeping this boy well exercised.

TRAINING
Yeti is fully potty trained, and familiar with a crate, but he is not ever enclosed in one. He would likely adjust to being crate trained well as he already has a positive association to the one in his current home.

Yeti is entering the doggy teenage stage—also known as the “I forgot everything I’ve ever learned but I’m still very cute” phase. Think of it as his goofy middle school era. He may test boundaries, get distracted by a leaf blowing across the yard, and have opinions about things he didn’t notice before. It’s all normal, temporary, and honestly pretty hilarious. With consistency, patience, and fun training sessions, he’ll grow right through it and come out the other side an amazing adult dog.

HEALTH STATUS
General info
He is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and dewormed. He will be scheduled for his neutering soon and he appears to be in good health. Once full grown, he will likely be somewhere in the 60+ lbs. range.

ADOPTION
The adoption fee for Yeti is $425. For more pictures of Yeti, see his Facebook album at https://www.facebook.com/share/1CQjG12p5p/?mibextid=wwXIfr

More about this rescue

People need to rehome animals for various reasons, including changed circumstances, a bad match between the pet and the family, and a desire to help an animal they have rescued find a forever home. Most conventional Animal Rescues are overwhelmed by the need, and people can wait a long time for help. Municipal Shelters do the best they can, but often euthanize "surplus" pets and, even at best, usually cannot offer an environment that makes people feel good about dropping off animals they care about. Advertising animals on Craigslist is potentially risky, especially for people with limited experience in finding quality forever homes.

Our goal is to provide support for individuals who want to help the animals in their care find the right forever home, and who either cannot find help from a Rescue or choose to work independently. We have years of experience actively volunteering for successful Rescue organizations in a senior capacity, and are well equipped to support and advise animal lovers.

We do NOT support backyard breeding, but will help individuals with "accidental litters", on condition that they have their dogs sterilized to ensure no repetition of these accidents.

We have established relationships with conventional Rescues throughout Washington, and where appropriate will help people place their pets with these Rescues.

We provide:
* A trustworthy connection between releasing owners and potential adopters
* Advice and assistance in ensuring that pets offered for adoption are healthy, sterilized and up-to-date on vaccinations
* Personal evaluation of all pets in our program, as needed (We make an effort to meet all the pets in our program but may initially rely on releasing owners for information. Potential adopters may request an evaluation at no charge if they have concerns.)
* Advice and support with the adoption process (including writing pet profiles and taking photographs and video for marketing pets to serious potential adopters, identifying good homes, background checks, documentation, participation in adoption events, setting adoption fees, etc)
* Counseling and other support, as needed (including home visits to potential adopters, provision of food and equipment, funding for vet care, rehabilitation advice, introductions to conventional rescues, etc)
