Miniature Poodle puppies and dogs in Ladysmith, British Columbia

Jan 24/2026 - Thank you for your interest in Rudy! We have already received several strong applications, and the adoption is now pending. At this time, we are not accepting more additional applications. Meet Rudy Rudy is a 10+ year old senior Mini Poodle, a breed beloved for being bright, affectionate, and deeply people‑focused. He's living proof that age is just a number, this little guy still has plenty of pep in his step and a joyful outlook on life. Rudy arrived with us as a stray, so much of his earlier story is unknown. What we've discovered since then is a dog who thrives on companionship and connection. He's sweet, cuddly, and playful; and he truly shines when he's spending time with his people. Rudy enjoys toys, regular walks, and any chance to be involved in whatever his humans are doing. To make sure Rudy is feeling his best as he prepares for his next chapter, he recently had a dental procedure (thanks to the generous support of our donors) along with senior bloodwork. His mouth is now comfortable, and his overall health has been carefully checked, setting him up for success in a loving forever home. As with any senior dog, adopters should be prepared for some ongoing veterinary care and potential future medical expenses that can come with giving an older dog the love and support they deserve. Training & Support Rudy has shown some signs of separation anxiety, which isn't surprising given how much he values human companionship. He forms strong bonds and prefers not to be left behind. He will do best with gentle, reward‑based guidance, clear routines, and reassurance to help him feel safe and secure. With patience and consistency, Rudy can continue building confidence and learning that time alone doesn’t mean he’s been forgotten. Ideal Home Rudy would thrive in a home where he can enjoy lots of affection and company. A household where someone is home much of the time, or able to help him gradually adjust to short periods alone, would be a great match. He’d love daily walks, chances to play with toys, and plenty of cozy cuddle spots. While he may need a little time to settle in, once he does, Rudy promises to be a loving, loyal companion who brings warmth, joy, and plenty of snuggles to his forever family. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All adult dogs at Animal Services have veterinary health checks, and are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and defleaed (if necessary) before going to their new homes. Children: Yes Cats: Maybe Dogs: Yes Training Needs: Separation Anxiety Adoption Fee: $119 If you live in the City of Vancouver, you will also need to purchase a dog licence.

Hiya! My name is POPEYE. Me and my pal MOY are a BONDED PAIR and MUST go to a home together! Here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Poodle mix Age: Approx. 2 years old Gender: Male Weight: 18 lbs (8.2 kg)  Height: 42cm (paws to shoulders), 52 cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 58 cm (head to butt) Neck: 29cm Chest: 47cm Current Location:  Mexico City RESCUE STORY - Me and Moy were rescued together two months ago. We used to live on the street with a few homeless alcoholics. It’s believed we taken from somewhere else, as the homeless people didn't have us one day and then showed up with us the next. Unfortunately, we were mostly tied up and had little chances to move. This is probably why I started licking my paws and legs, which were quite red and raw when we were rescued. Me and Moy were kept hungry and dirty. At rescue, we were both dirty and underweight but fortunately, had no serious health issues. Our rescuers have searched for our "original owners" (if we had any) but nobody has come to claim us. SO... now we're hoping and praying that a lovely family in the Pacific North West will want to give us both a loving home together! After all we've been through, we have kinda "trauma bonded" together and are inseparable now. Moy, in particular, gets pretty stressed out when we are separated (video). TEMPERAMENT - I am friendly and very affectionate with people I know and trust (video). When approached by a stranger, I appear quite insecure and uncomfortable. I don't refuse to be touched and haven't shown any reactive or aggressive behaviour in these situations, but it's clear I'm quite uncomfortable (video). I'm looking for hoomans who will advocate for my space and who will go at my pace. Once I warm up, I'm a happy, loving boy - so I promise it's worth the wait to earn my trust! I do anxiously licking my paws and legs, but much less than when we were first rescued. Hopefully in a calm, loving home, I will be able to leave this nervous behaviour behind! I am dog friendly and absolutely need my buddy Moy as my companion; we walk (video), play, eat, cuddle (video, video 2), and sleep next to each other. We have shown that we are essentially each other's "emotional support animal", so our rescuers want us to be adopted together.   We were only recently rescued (Sept. 2025) from pretty unsafe and unstable conditions, where our movements were quite restricted. We are getting used to the new environment of the shelter. When together, we are way more confident. I think the ideal adopter for me and Moy should be aware that we will need some time to get used to a new home, but also expect us to grow into very affectionate, playful furry companions with time! :) ENERGY LEVEL - Low - Both Moy and I are pretty chill, low energy dudes! Once comfortable in our new home, I'm sure we'll come out of our shells a bit, but I don't think we'll ever be crazy energetic boys. GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown. Dogs –  Yup! At the shelter, Moy and I live with dogs of all sizes. We get along with everybody. We eat together with other dogs and show no resource guarding. We can be a bit uneasy when meeting doggos when on leash, but you can see here we warm up pretty quickly. Proper introductions on leash (parallel walks etc.) and advocating for our space will be essential to us getting comfortable! Cats – Unknown. PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – Work in progress! I walk quietly and nicely on leash, but I keep looking at the person walking me, as if I need some sort of encouragement. On the street I'm not bothered fast driving cars or noise (video). I am hoping to find an adopter to help me become more confident and find the joy of going out on walks! Here are some videos of me and Moy walking together on leash (video, video2). A calm, confident owner will be helpful in us learning to walk confidently! House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  HEALTH NOTES: I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying North. I am an anxious licker and have some skin irritation as a result. This may be an ongoing issue in my forever home, although we hope that the stability, care, and love provided in a home will help me no longer lick out of anxiety! I am currently being treated for pyoderma (bacterial skin infection) and am expected to fully recover in a few days.  NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work/cleaning after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter.  ADOPTION FEE: My bonded pair adoption fee (with Moy) is $1,456.00 CAD including tax ($1300 + 5% GST and 7% PST), which includes both of our adoption fees, vet costs, and airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and its adoption process.

At the time, she was suffering from severe bedsores that were left untreated. During a particularly long Chuseok holiday period last year, her care became even more difficult, leading Adogs to step in for an emergency rescue to provide the medical attention she desperately needed.
