Story
REX Standard Poodle Male Black 21 months 60 lbs​ ​ REX - charming companion, known for his gentle and reserved nature.  While he may be quiet, his tail wags enthusiastically to greet those he loves. Rex thrives on human company and enjoys the presence of multiple individuals, becoming more lively and engaged. Remarkably, he is impeccably trained and has maintained a flawless record of indoor cleanliness, never once having had an accident. He is a well-behaved companion, walking nicely on the leash. Initially shy around other dogs, he's gradually becoming more comfortable and friendly, showing a willingness to interact with them. He has a fondness for chewable toys, which he enjoys chewing on. With patience and love, Rex is sure to blossom into a cherished member of the family. With proper training and time to become more comfortable, he will make an amazing companion. We recently discovered REX has an eye issue and recently had him checked by an Opthamologist. It has been ascertained he has genetic juvenile cataracts and is an excellent candidate fir cataract surgery. As a rescue, we do not have the funding for this, so have decided to try and find an adopter who is prepared to agree to do this for him and in return will not ask for an adoption donation. (Our Vetting expensed have already exceeded $1200) Please Note: *Must have a FENCED-IN yard!* **No children under 10!** If you are interested in adopting REX please go to our website www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org to see our adoption process and download the adoption application REX's  adoption donation is $ Nil

Story
RUFUS Standard Poodle Male Black/White Parti 1 year 9 months 40 lbs​ ​ RUFUS - a gentle, sweet and fun companion Rufus may have had a rough start, but his sweet and gentle nature shines through as he gradually gains confidence in new surroundings. While initially timid, patience and time will allow him to blossom and form a strong bond with his new family. His curious spirit and emerging goofy personality add charm to his character, and he delights in playful romps in the yard and receiving affectionate gestures like head and belly rubs. Rufus is adaptable and gets along well with dogs and cats, displaying good manners and a gentle demeanor. While mostly house-trained, he benefits from having access to the yard for potty breaks, especially if left alone for extended periods. Continued leash and basic command training will further enhance his skills, as he is new to structured training. With a preference for human company, Rufus thrives in the presence of someone at home frequently. With love, patience, and ongoing support, Rufus is poised to become a cherished member of a caring and understanding family. Please Note: Must have another canine companion! *Must have a FENCED-IN yard!* **No children under 12!** If you are interested in adopting RUFUS please go to our website www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org to see our adoption process and download the adoption application RUFUS' adoption donation is $1295

Story
CODY Goldendoodle Male Cream 19 months 55 lbs​ ​ CODY - a delightful, energetic companion with a heart of gold. This gentle giant loves nothing more than playtime, whether it's with squeaky toys, tug of war with his foster siblings, or chasing his human brothers. He's a cuddle bug at heart, always ready for hugs and snuggles. With his eagerness to please, he's mastered commands like sit and shake and shows promise for more training. Housebroken and crate-trained, Cody is an independent pup who enjoys the freedom of coming and going through the doggy door, though he much prefers to be by his family's side. While he loves walks, he's still learning leash manners, especially around other dogs. With his strength and energy, he'd thrive in an active family with a fenced yard where he could romp and play to his heart's content. Cody's easygoing personality and unwavering desire to bring joy to his family make him an irreplaceable companion.
