Story
Hi, I'm Daisy!  I’m a tiny, 8-lb Maltese/Poodle blend girl and I'm 10 years old. My hearing and vision aren't what they used to be, but I don’t let that stop me from exploring. Now I just need to discover a very special, patient family who will love me just the way I am. Favorite Things: Daisy LOVES her food and loves soaking up attention. Toys and playing are not really her thing, but exploring her surroundings is high on her list of favorite activities. She also loves being around her person and will sit next to them as much as possible (and extra close in bed at night). Training & Manners:  Daisy is working on her house training and will need to be taken outside frequently.  Due to her vision, she doesn’t do well on a leash so will need more practice with leash walking, and her hearing sometimes makes it difficult to communicate with her. The good news is that she is highly food-motivated to improve her manners.  She is verbal when she wants food but is otherwise quiet. Health and Care: Daisy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She is on daily drops for dry eyes and takes her monthly preventatives for fleas and heartworm, along with medications for anxiety. She will likely require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to keep her looking and feeling her best. Other Animals:  Daisy has experience with other small dogs and cats.  Children: This gentle, curious gal would do best in a home with respectful teens only.    Ideal Home: Daisy would do well in an apartment, condo or single-family home.  Her “dream” home would be a house without steps (although she is tiny enough to carry) and no pool (for safety reasons with her vision impairment).  A fenced yard would keep her safe and give her room for her adventurous explorations. She has free rein of her foster home and can be left for several hours without issues. She sleeps in the “people bed” at night and is happy to cozy up to her person. Overall: Daisy is a great and loyal companion asking only for food, love, attention, and patience (and creativity when it comes to communication.)  Could special Daisy be the one for you? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $175. ##2667454##

Story
Levi is a special needs boy AND WANTS TO BE WITH YOU ALL THE TIME! He is a sweetheart with a heart full of love for his person and a great personality. He is a talker and strives hard to communicate. Though he does well with other dogs, he would do best as the only dog in the home and with someone who is retired or works from home and does not get much company. He is not socialized with people and needs slow introduction. He does not like change or strangers, so routine is a must! Because he is special needs, his mind works just a little bit slower before he grasps a new concept or command but he is eager to please and very trainable. Levi does well for himself, but does have a weak back leg that sometimes prevents him from jumping on your lap or furniture. It is not a health issue and does not cause any pain. Levi has a very thick undercoat and will require experienced, professional grooming services every 6-8 weeks.. He is a 3.5 year old Bichon Frise, approximately 21 pounds, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE… you must be able to honor a lifetime commitment to Levi as a family member and spoil him with an exceptionally wonderful life. Adoption fee is $400 Request an adoption application via email. They are not online Sorry, no small children Home checks are required Thank you for your interest in our dogs!
