Zadie

Maltese

Female, 10 yrs
Scottsdale, AZ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Zadie is a Maltese/Poodle mix weighing about 12 pounds. She is potty trained, crate trained, and a very calm, low-drama little lady. She is incredibly patient and gentle, friendly with people, and gets along well with other small dogs, though she definitely prefers the company of her humans. Zadie is sweet and affectionate in a quiet, understated way. She tries to keep her feelings to herself, but her tail always betrays her. She’s happiest just being near her people and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an easygoing little dog to share their days with. At this stage of life, Zadie prefers taking things at a leisurely pace. She enjoys getting out and exploring, but would choose a good sniff around the block over a vigorous walk any day. She’s a gentle, well-mannered senior who is ready for a comfortable home and people of her own to love. Like all our dogs, Zadie is neutered, up to date on all her vaccines, micro chipped and has recently had extensive dental work. Zadie's adoption fee is $350. If you are interested in meeting her, please fill out an application located under her bio on our homepage www.luckydogrescue.org

Story
Finding the right home for bonded pairs like Penny and Stewie requires a special kind of adopter—someone who sees "shy" as an opportunity for a deep, rewarding connection. Here are a few versions of a bio you can use for adoption postings, ranging from heartfelt to concise. Option 1: Heartfelt & Detailed (Best for Social Media) Meet Penny & Stewie: Two Hearts Looking for Their Safe Harbor 🐾 Penny and Stewie are a stunning pair of 8-month-old white and apricot Poodles (approx. 18 lbs each) who are looking for a very special "forever." These two are the definition of a bonded pair; they lean on each other for bravery and share a soul. While they are absolute angels with other animals and perfectly submissive in a household setting, they have a "circle of trust" that is currently very small. They tend to pick one human to shower with all their love while remaining fearful of others. When they feel overwhelmed, their instinct is to run and hide. The Ideal Home: • Patience is a must: They aren’t "instant" dogs. They need a family willing to let them bloom at their own pace. • The Reward: Once you’ve earned their trust, you become their entire world. • The Perks: They are fixed, up to date on all shots, and get along beautifully with other pets. If you have a quiet home and a heart big enough to help these two come out of their shells, Penny and Stewie are waiting to meet you.
