MY RESCUE STORY
I was rescued from an abusive environment where I was used as a grooming practice dog. Instead of being loved as a companion, I was treated like a mannequin for people to practice haircuts on. Thankfully, those difficult days are now behind me. I was rescued by kind people who showed me the care and compassion I had always deserved. Now, I'm ready to leave my past behind and begin a new chapter filled with love, comfort, and happiness. All I'm missing is a forever family to call my own.

MY PERSONALITY
I can be a little shy when we first meet, but I warm up quickly with a little patience and kindness. I'm an adorable Mini Poodle with so much love to give, and the volunteers and staff can already see my incredible potential. They believe that once I find my forever family and feel safe, I'll blossom into the ultimate cuddle bug who loves nothing more than curling up on your lap for snuggles. Despite my difficult past, I've remained a sweet, gentle girl with a loving heart that's just waiting for the right family to help it shine.
MY SOCIAL SKILLS
· With People: I can be a little shy when we first meet, but it doesn't take much to win me over. A few tasty treats, gentle words, and a little patience are often all I need to start building trust. Once I feel safe, my sweet and affectionate personality begins to shine. I love receiving gentle pets, will happily roll over to show you my belly, and enjoy spending quiet time close to my favorite people. I'm comfortable being picked up when supported properly under my belly and remain calm while being held. The volunteers and staff believe that once I settle into my forever home, I'll blossom into a wonderfully loving companion.
· With Dogs: I generally get along best with dogs that are similar in size or smaller than me. While I'm friendly and polite when meeting new canine friends, I'm more independent by nature and usually prefer to do my own thing rather than join in on playtime. I'm happy simply sharing the space and enjoying everyone's company.
· With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. A cat test can be arranged to ensure the best fit!
ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY
I have a moderate energy level and enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it's exploring, sniffing around, or simply taking in all the interesting sights and smells. I'm happiest with leisurely walks where I can explore the world at my own pace. Once I've had my outdoor adventure, I'm more than happy to come home, curl up, and relax quietly by your side for the rest of the day.
TRAINING & HABITS
I'm still learning my leash manners and may pull a little at times, but I generally do a great job following my handler's lead. I feel most confident walking in quieter areas, as loud or sudden noises can startle me. With patient encouragement and positive experiences, I'm becoming more confident every day. I don't guard my food from either people or other dogs, and I settle calmly in my kennel. I currently don't show signs of separation anxiety, though because I enjoy being close to the people I trust, I may need a little time to adjust as we build our bond. For potty habits, I use both pee pads indoors and go potty outdoors, making me adaptable to different routines.
MY IDEAL HOME
I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with:
A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment
A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout
A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together
A family that will love and cherish me forever
A patient family who will let me build confidence at my own pace as I come out of my shell.
SPECIAL NOTES
If you've been looking for a mellow, sweet Mini Poodle, look no further! I'm an adorable little girl with a gentle heart who doesn't ask for much. More than anything, I simply want to be close to my people and enjoy a peaceful life together. I may be a little shy when we first meet, but I warm up quickly with a little patience and kindness. Despite everything I've been through, I've never lost my trust in people or my desire to love. The volunteers and staff know that once I feel safe in my forever home, I'll blossom into a loyal little shadow who will happily spend her days cuddling by your side.
