Meet Otto Jones — a 12‑year‑old, 11 lb. miniature Poodle mix who is as adorable as his name suggests!   Quick Facts: Name: Otto Jones Breed: Miniature Poodle Mix Age: 12 years old Weight: 11 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: No – but does use a gated pen in his foster home Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Not tested, likely fine Good with Kids: Not tested, likely fine with older, respectful kids Energy Level: Low Fence Required: No Special Needs: Otto Jones has cataracts in his left eye and partially visually impaired. He also seems to be a little hard of hearing. He is currently Heartworm Positive (which is treatable) and all treatment will be paid by CrisisDogsNC even if he is adopted prior to completing treatment. (Heartworm treatment includes 30 days of Doxycycline (“slow kill” method due to his age).   About Otto Jones’s Breed: Our best guess is that Otto Jones is a miniature poodle mixed breed. Miniature Poodles are known for their intelligence, affectionate nature, and gentle, people‑oriented temperament, making them wonderful companions for families and seniors alike. They tend to bond closely with their humans and enjoy being part of daily routines, whether that’s relaxing on the couch, going for short walks, or simply following their person from room to room. Their bright minds and sensitive personalities often make them responsive, loyal, and eager to please.   An ideal home for a Mini Poodle is one that offers steady companionship, a calm environment, and gentle structure. They thrive with people who enjoy spending time with their dogs and can provide consistent routines, light exercise, and lots of affection. Because they’re social and emotionally attuned, they do especially well in homes where they’re not left alone for long periods and can enjoy the comfort of being near their favorite humans.   What to Love about Otto Jones: Despite being a senior, Otto still has a surprising pep in his step and enjoys short walks, exploring the yard, and being part of whatever his people are doing. His happiest moments are spent snuggled beside his person or curled up in his cozy dog bed. He loves belly rubs, being held, and soaking up affection — especially from his foster dad, whom he follows around like a devoted little shadow!   Otto has slightly impaired hearing and vision, including a cataract in his left eye, but it doesn’t slow him down or dampen his cheerful spirit. He’s very food‑motivated, loves treats, and could chew on bones all day if you let him! He’s fully house trained too. He does wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home and fits right in. He hasn’t met cats or kids yet, but would likely do well with calm, respectful children.   He’s not a fan of being crated and would do best in a gated area with a comfy bed when left alone. At night, he’s happy to sleep in your bed or in his own bed right beside you! Otto is a lower‑energy gentleman due to his age, but he still enjoys leisurely walks and is great on a leash. He is currently heartworm positive, and the rescue will fully cover his treatment — even if he’s adopted before it’s completed.   Otto Jones’s Outstanding Highlights: 12‑year‑old, 11 lb miniature Poodle mix with a sweet, gentle temperament Still has a little pep in his step and enjoys short walks and exploring Loves snuggling, belly rubs, and being right beside his person, especially his foster dad Slightly impaired hearing and vision (blind in one eye) but still gets around confidently Very food‑motivated and loves treats and chewing bones Almost fully house trained; wears diapers for occasional accidents and benefits from consistent potty breaks Does great with other dogs and would likely do well with calm, respectful kids and possibly cats Not crate‑friendly; does best in a gated area with a comfy bed when left alone Sleeps happily in your bed or in his own bed beside you Lower‑energy senior who just wants companionship and affection Currently heartworm positive, and his treatment will be fully covered by the rescue   Otto Jones is a gentle, loving, loyal little companion who wants nothing more than to spend his golden years by someone’s side, soaking up love and offering endless sweetness in return.   Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.

Medications include: Vetmedin 1.25mg tablet and Enalapril 2.5mg tablet. About Louis’s Breed: Our best guess is that Louis is a miniature Poodle mixed breed. Miniature Poodles are bright, affectionate, and wonderfully people oriented little dogs, known for their intelligence, sensitivity, and elegant charm. They tend to bond closely with their families and love being included in daily routines—whether that’s curling up on the couch, following their person from room to room, or enjoying short bursts of play before settling in for a nap. Their combination of smarts and sweetness makes them both easy to train and deeply devoted companions. Their ideal home is one that offers consistent routines, gentle structure, and plenty of companionship. Mini Poodles thrive in calm, loving environments where they can feel secure and connected, and they do especially well with families who appreciate a sensitive, affectionate dog. They’re a great fit for households that enjoy light daily walks, mental enrichment, and lots of cozy downtime together. What to Love about Louis: All Louis really wants in life is a soft bed, a calm home, and a person who doesn’t mind a tiny sleeping buddy curled up beside them every night! He can hop onto the bed with the help of a bench, and if a home doesn’t have one, he’d simply need a little lift. Louis gets around beautifully, is a crate trained dream, and has never had a potty accident—he goes out four times a day and keeps a perfect routine. He’s not a big fan of being picked up unless it’s to be placed in bed, but he’ll happily jump onto the couch to snuggle while you watch TV! He’s hesitant with stairs but can manage them, and he’d thrive in a relaxed home—ideally with a retired person or someone who works from home—where he can be the center of attention. Louis enjoys short walks, leisurely backyard time, and “patrolling” the yard to make sure everything is in order. He’s great on a leash, doesn’t need much exercise, and is perfectly content being left in his crate when you’re away. Louis is wonderful with respectful kids, fine with other dogs (though he mostly ignores them), and would likely do well with a cat after a proper meet and greet. This sweet senior boy is polite, easygoing, affectionate, and simply wants a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years in comfort. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who asks for very little but gives so much love in return, Louis is ready to curl up beside you and settle in for the rest of his life! Louis’s Lively Highlights: • Senior sweetheart — gentle, calm, and happiest snoozing beside his person, does have a heart murmur and will need medication for life • Bed sleeping pro — loves sleeping in bed and can use a bench to hop up • Crate trained dream — perfectly content in his crate and great when left alone • Accident free — fully house trained with a consistent four times a day potty routine • Low maintenance companion — easygoing, polite, and happy with simple routines • Short walk enjoyer — likes leisurely strolls and relaxed backyard time • Yard patroller — loves checking the perimeter and surveying his kingdom • Great with respectful kids — enjoys children who don’t pick him up • Dog friendly observer — fine with other dogs but mostly ignores them • Perfect for a calm home — ideal for a retired person or someone who works from home Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.

Diogee (D.O.G) is a happy, goofy doodle. He loves cuddling or just sitting beside you with his paw on your leg. He needs to be where the people are! Loves rubs on his head and is very well house trained. Responds to common commands. Diogee is a Jumper and he likes to jump for hugs when company comes over. He’s very strong, still working on leash pulling, but he’s a very good dog :) Mostly affirmation motivated, but wouldn’t turn down a Trader Joe’s dog treat in exchange for a “high paw” ;-)
