PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you! We will connect you to his foster! LOCATION: Foster home ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org) ADOPTION FEE: $615 ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 16 lbs ESTIMATED AGE: 6 yrs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Pooh can live with other dogs but is a bossy little man. He’s likely best suited to be an only dog OR to live with a docile, understanding, non-reactive friendly dog who won’t challenge him and will let Pooh be Pooh. KNOWN WITH CATS: We are told he’s a bit barky with cats and may chase them so he will need a no-cat home. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Pooh will need an adult-only home. KNOWN COMMANDS: Pooh knows to come immediate for TREAT and knows how to SIT. He’s a very smart boy and will benefit from ongoing training! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: We think Pooh is housebroken but he’s had several accidents in his foster home, we believe due to him being stressed about losing his family and his routine. He does NOT like being crated and becomes upset. But he has shown no destruction when left alone, so he does well not being crated. He can be barky at first when left alone though, so we think he’ll do better in a house vs an apartment. KNOWN LIKES: Poor loves to be in charge – and may bark a lot to show that. He LOVES treats and he loves belly rubs and going on walks. KNOWN DISLIKES: Pooh hates the vacuum cleaner and will attack it. He does not seem to like fast moving objects like bikes and motorcycles and runners – he seems to think he’s a Border Collie. He also does not like being crated. So a suburban home will be better suited for him than a city home. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: POOH is as cute as he can be. But he’s not for everyone. This little guy has had a rough-ish life we think and ended up at a full nearby shelter when we learned about him and decided we needed to give him a chance. Poor needs an adult-only home and definitely prefers females over males – but we think with the right people he can live with both. He LOVES treats and comes immediately when you say the word TREAT loudly and he quickly sits on command. He loves walks- but gets worked up by bikes, motorcycles and people running so a quieter neighborhood would suit him. He loves walks and truly enjoys cuddling with his human and getting belly rubs and kisses. He is said to have a history of resource guarding but we have not seen that yet and have taken away treats, food and toys easily especially when offering a treat swap – which is always the way to go. He does seem to bond with one person and can be barky/protective/guarding around other humans – but this can be easily worked on by using treats and sharing feeding/treat/walk duties. He can live another dog but it would need to be a docile dog that lets Pooh be bossy and not react. Poor generally shares his space nicely but can be bossy. Pooh will definitely bark and intimidate visitors so a quieter home will be better. No kids in the home is best/required. Experience with bossy barky dogs preferred.

Jameson Maltese Mix Male White ​1 year old 25 lbs Meet Jameson: A handsome, calm, gentle personality with excellent manners. Jameson is fully house-trained and will politely bark once to let you know he needs to go outside. He is also crate-trained, sleeping comfortably in his crate at night and resting quietly for short periods during the day when he is home alone. Jameson is an easy companion to have around. He rarely barks, rides calmly in the car, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys meeting both people and other dogs during neighborhood strolls. He is surprisingly patient at mealtimes and has shown wonderful house manners, never chewing on anything inappropriate. While he loves chew toys, he prefers durable ones that can withstand his enthusiasm. He also enjoys playing fetch and happily understands "drop it." He is well-adjusted, affectionate, and eager to be part of a family. He is neutered, does not shed, and is truly an all-around great dog. Jameson would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely play, along with an active family that enjoys daily walks and includes their dog in everyday life. If you're looking for a loyal, easygoing companion with a sweet soul and wonderful manners, Jameson may be the perfect match. ​​ ​ Please Note: **No children under 10!** ​ If you are interested in adopting JAMESON, please visit our website at www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org to learn about our adoption process and download the adoption application, ​ JAMESON's adoption donation is $950

Gracie is an itty-bitty 6-pound, approximately 5–8-year-old Poodle/Maltese mix (our best guess!) with the sweetest, mild-mannered personality. We don’t know much about her life before coming to us, but one thing is very clear: Gracie is learning what it feels like to be loved—and she is really, really enjoying it. ❤️ She can be a little shy when she first meets you, but once she realizes she’s safe, the sweetest little dog begins to emerge. Her tiny poodle nub of a tail wags like crazy when you walk through the door, and she has an adorable habit of sneaking up behind you to give your ankles a few little kisses—just in case you forgot she was there. Gracie lives peacefully with dogs of all sizes. She isn’t interested in wrestling or playing with them, but she’s perfectly happy to curl up beside another dog and will gladly let a canine friend snuggle against her. She’s also fostered with cats and finds them completely charming—or at least charming enough to peacefully ignore! They are more than welcome to curl up next to her, too. She’s doing very well with housetraining, although at only six pounds, she does need frequent potty breaks. She loves going outside to do her business and will also use potty pads when her people are away. Gracie enjoys going for walks, but please don’t sign this girl up for a marathon. 😂 A nice little stroll followed by several hours of couch time is much more her speed. She is a professional couch potato and takes the position very seriously. At bedtime, Gracie sleeps in the human bed and barely moves all night. Big spoon? Little spoon? She’s flexible. As long as she’s warm, cozy, and close to someone she loves, she’s happy. Gracie recently had a full dental procedure, and her remaining little teeth are now fresh as a daisy. Our veterinarian estimates that she is somewhere between 5 and 8 years old. While Gracie is gentle and doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in her tiny body, her dream home isn’t a loud, chaotic one. She would likely be perfectly fine with children but her ideal everyday lifestyle is a little more… retired diva. 👑 She’s looking for a relaxed home, a comfy couch, a warm bed, leisurely little walks, and someone who will continue showing her just how wonderful it is to be loved. Gracie doesn’t ask for much. She just wants to be close to you, give you a few kisses, wag that tiny nub when you come home, and spend the rest of her life knowing she belongs. 💕 This dog is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. 🎓 FREE Post-Adoption Training Support! All of our adoptions include 30 days of FREE training support, including: Unlimited 1:1 access via text message to certified, positive reinforcement-based trainers. Access to a library of 100+ animated training courses and lessons. The option to purchase additional training support after the complimentary 30-day period. We want our adopters—and their new family members—to have support as everyone settles into life together. ❤️ The adoption fee is $375.00. ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CK Rescue*** ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care.
