My personality

My story

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

We received this timid girl from a hoarding case where she received absolutely no human interaction. She is extremely shy and will take weeks-months to come around and trust you. She is not your typical companion. She needs a very patient home that will continue to work with her emotional needs. We believe she is a miniature poodle weighing around 25-30 pounds full grown. She has showed so much potential in her experienced foster home and continues to be a wonderful companion. Here is what her foster has to say ….

Hi!
My name is Sweetie Pie and Candy Girl. My foster is letting me pick my own name. I give quick looks of acknowledgement when either of those are used.

I don’t trust people; I have really never been exposed to them.

My ideal home would have at least a 6-foot fence (I got serious hops for my size). I would love to have another easy going K9! Size doesn’t matter my foster Nana has a miniature pinscher (10 yrs old), Doberman pinscher (8), Frenchie (2) and a demon cat (more about her later). My favorite is the Doberman she sleeps in the crate with me when I am not in my bed on the bed.

I prefer to eat in my crate. If kept too long (like on church days) I might potty in my crate if fed before Nana goes to sit with the Jesus crew. Normally I will potty on the potty pads. I will go outside to potty, but because I have a hard time trusting I will hide! I am exceptionally great at hide and seek. I will look at you searching for me and not say a word! I don’t mind being in a crate but a gated room not so much. I will jump it or hurt myself trying to escape.

I am as sweet as pie! I was never groomed but I let Nana shave all the mats off me and clip my toenails. When it is bath time you and I will be getting bathed at the same time….lol. Yep, I will cling to you.

Now I have not a care in the world about cats, but demon cat does not care for me!

If you have the time and patience, I am your candy girl! If you are retired or work from home, I will be your best friend. Oh, I love PJs! They are like a permanent hug!

Additional adoption info

Petty Pawz Rescue reserves the right to deny adoption applications if we do not believe the family or animal is a good fit for you. We stand by our animal's and their safety and only want to set them up for success! Petty Pawz Rescue is operating with less than 3 people, so it may take longer than expected to hear back with your application status.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We generally host adoption events at our headquarters (contact us for address) every Saturday and Sunday from 9-2pm. We can also make arrangements throughout the week if you are not available to visit. We are foster based and have to align your schedule to the foster's schedule in order for you to meet the animals. We do not have a facility you can visit at this time.

More about this rescue

Petty Pawz Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization focused on rescuing and assisting animal shelters that are overcrowded or animals considered high-risk. We do not accept owner surrenders at this time as our focus is animals that are in immediate danger. We specialize in pregnant animals, orphaned animals, senior dogs, or animals needing medical assistance. We are foster based and can only accept what we have availability for foster wise. We take in both cats and dogs, big or small! Our mission is to prevent the overpopulation in animal shelters and to find loving forever homes for the animals in our custody!
