Story

Peanut is the more outgoing of our gorgeous poodle sisters, and she absolutely shines once she knows she’s safe. She’s confident, social, curious, and loves having a stable canine friend to show her the ropes. Peanut warms up quickly and is happiest when she has another dog in the home—this is a requirement for her adoption, as she relies on a canine companion for confidence and emotional support. She is housebroken, highly intelligent, and settles beautifully in the home. Peanut enjoys exploring, bonding with her people, and curling up for snuggles once her day is done. She hasn’t been around children, but older, dog-savvy kids may be fine with proper introductions. Peanut is loyal, affectionate, and full of personality. Once she bonds with you, she becomes your little shadow, offering kisses, cuddles, and endless love. She will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and continued positive training—she’s a quick learner and eager to please. ✨ Every adoption with The Maine Dog Rescue includes: • A free body language class with Sara Sokol at Mr. Dog Training • 10% off your first training package • Lifetime support from our rescue team If you have a loving home with another friendly, balanced dog and you’re ready to welcome a sweet, intelligent, devoted girl into your life, Peanut may be your perfect match.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Buttercup is a stunning, soft-souled poodle who is looking for a calm and patient home where she can truly blossom. She came into our care with her sister Peanut, and while the girls do not need to be adopted together, Buttercup requires another dog in the home. A confident, friendly resident dog helps her feel secure, shows her the routine, and gives her the courage she needs to trust new people. Buttercup is shy at first and will need time and understanding during her adjustment period. But once she knows she’s safe, her gentle personality starts to shine—she becomes affectionate, loving, and devoted. She is housebroken, highly intelligent, and quietly observant. She watches her surroundings carefully and learns quickly by following the lead of other dogs. She has not been around children, so a home with adults or older, dog-savvy teens would be best. What Buttercup truly needs is a calm environment, structure, and someone who appreciates the magic of watching a shy dog build confidence at her own pace. Once she settles in, Buttercup becomes a sweet shadow, offering soft kisses, cozy cuddles, and deep loyalty. She is the kind of dog who forms a strong, meaningful bond with her person. ✨ Every adoption with The Maine Dog Rescue includes: • A free body language class with Sara Sokol at Mr. Dog Training • 10% off your first training package • Lifetime support from our rescue team If you have a peaceful home and a friendly resident dog who can help guide her, Buttercup could be the perfect addition to your family.
