Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
MOJO Shih Tzu / Llasa Apso mix Male White and Cream 15 pounds 10 years old ​ MOJO is a little sweetheart who came into our rescue on death's door! After lots of medical attention, care and love from his foster family MOJO is well again! He's calm, likes to sleep and is basically low energy except he does have the occasional short bout of the zoomies. MOJO doesn't play with toys much so far - the squeakers scare him - but he has started to chew on a few here and there. He is house trained if taken out on a regular schedule. MOJO is vision impaired but that doesn't stop him from getting along great with other dogs! He has had no issues with any of his three foster siblings! He is very selective with people and does not easily trust based on his past experiences. MOJO is affectionate though, and will come up to you to snuggle but only if he is good and ready. He doesn't like to be picked up or woken up - he needs somebody to understand that things need to be on his terms. He will growl to warn you when he doesn't like or want something - it's up to the humans to listen and understand his warning. MOJO needs somebody who has the time and patience to let him come out of his shell on his own. His best person would be home most of the time, not because he has separation anxiety because he doesn't, but so that MOJO has the opportunity to get comfy and bond with them. No kids and stairs should be gated. If you are interested in adopting MOJO please go to our website www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org to see our adoption process ADOPT to download the application MOJO'S adoption donation is $495

Story
WALLY Doodle White and apricot Male 6 years 42 pounds ​ WALLY is a handsome, sweet and lovable doodle boy who likes to be near you. He's affectionate once he's comfortable with you and a snuggler- but always on his terms. WALLY does not love other dogs but is tolerant of them as long as they don't approach him. He's ok with cats. WALLY loves the outdoors and is used to walking 1-2 miles a day. He also enjoys hiking and camping. WALLY knows sit, down, paw and is good with car rides. You'll always know when he's comfortable and happy because he wags his tail and jumps excitedly (but not too much). WALLY would love a home of his own as the only dog with his people that are home most of the time. He would like his own fenced yard. If you are interested in adopting WALLY please go to our website www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org and click on ADOPT to download an adoption application . ​ WALLY'S adoption donation is $895

AUTUMN

Goldendoodle Poodle (Standard)

Female, 6 yrs 8 mos
Fairfax, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
AUTUMN Doodle Cream and apricot Female 58 pounds 6-7 years old AUTUMN is a super sweet, people friendly, highly intelligent Velcro dog. AUTUMN now understands basic commands such as sit, stay, come, leave it, lay down, no, eh-eh and let's go. She follows Sit and Come reliably. AUTUMN loves to be petted, and will dance when you scratch her back! AUTUMN is on hyperthyroid medication-a twice daily tiny pill she enjoys taking in a pill pocket with her kibble. AUTUMN was kept in a kennel for long periods of time and should not be crated. She loves any bed, and her soft squeaky toys bring her a lot of joy. AUTUMN is not destructive when left alone, but barks. She does not counter surf and has excellent manners with people. AUTUMN must be an only dog! She is not socialized and can be suddenly aggressive with other dogs as she doesn't understand play behavior. AUTUMN requires grooming every 4 to 6 weeks and brushing 2-3 times a week to restore and maintain her beautiful coat. She is a love and an ideal pet for the right person! If you are interested in adopting AUTUMN please go to our website www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org and click on ADOPT to download an adoption application AUTUMN'S Adoption Donation is $750

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
CHASE Cocker Spaniel (sheds a little) Brown and white Male 5 Years 38 pounds (can lose a few) CHASE is an adorable, sweet Cocker Spaniel who loves everyone he meets! He will greet you enthusiastically when you walk in the door and follow you wherever you go. He is quite calm in the house, curling up close by whoever is around. As CHASE gets more comfortable in his foster home he gets more cuddly every day. CHASE loves going on walks and running around in his fenced back yard. He will chase a ball if it's thrown to him, but don't count on him bringing it back! He generally drops it to go off to explore something new. He has barked at animals and people he sees out the window and sometimes at other dogs on walks. But we have not seen him be aggressive. CHASE is totally house trained! He knows the commands sit, come and stay (except when there is an open door)-he will bolt. But then he loves to play hard to get. CHASE is a good boy when left home alone and has not been destructive but we think he would be happiest with an owner who is home most of the time. CHASE is a joy to have around and he will be a great addition to the right family! CHASE must be an only dog and no cats. Must be an only dog. If you are interested in adopting CHASE please go to our website www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org to see our adoption process and to download an adoption application CHASE'S adoption donation is $695

Story
CANNON does well with kids and other dogs CANNON Doodle mix (sheds lightly) Black Male 67 pounds (could gain a few more) 1 year old CANNON, at one year old, is a lively pup with boundless energy. He enjoys being with other dogs and socializes well with both big and small dogs. He loves kids but care should be taken around small children as he doesn't know his size. CANNON still needs basic puppy training but is already learning to walk well on a leash. His house training is coming along and with a consistent schedule he will let you know when he has to go out. He doesn't do well in a crate. CANNON sheds lightly as long as he's brushed twice a week which he doesn't mind at all! He does have some separation anxiety but it subsides quickly if he is with another dog. CANNON is very sweet and affectionate, appreciates rubs and kisses on his big black nose. CANNON would do best in a home with at least one other dog. If you would like to adopt CANNON please go to our website to see our adoption process and click on ADOPT to fill out an application CANNON'S adoption donation is $1195
