Story
Tiara is ready to find her furever. She is estimated to be around 6 years old, weighing in at a whopping 5.8 pounds of pure charm and sass. While she always will be the tiny Tiara, she’s on a mission to gain weight (and get a few extra treats for good measure). This mini poodle has a sweet personality that could melt the coldest of hearts, but don’t be fooled—she's got a growing confidence! She's already the self-appointed ruler of the lap kingdom and has started growling at the other dogs in the house, though she’s easily corrected.
Tiara’s love for humans knows no bounds—whether you’re a resident or a visitor, she’s on a mission to win your heart. But fair warning: she takes the role of "shadow" a bit too seriously. She’ll follow you everywhere, even if it means being underfoot (literally). Due to that and her tiny frame she should live with dog-savvy children.
Housebreaking? She’s still working on it. When she’s outside, she knows the drill, but occasionally she'll find a pee pad and give it a shot and sometimes, she might go where she is. But, hey, she’s under 6 pounds—so the mess is barely a speck! With a little consistency, she’ll have that mastered in no time.
Energy-wise, she’s spirited and calms down great when she is ruling from the lap, and while she rarely barks, she does have her rare moments—particularly when her foster mom leaves. She'll cry for a little bit, but don’t worry, she always settles down. It's all part of her charm!
Tiara would thrive as the only dog in the house, where she can reign supreme and claim all the attention (and laps) and she gets human attention and love. She would be great with doggie friends, too (too early to tell in the foster home but it seems that she is almost ready to play), so if she *has* to share her kingdom, she could get along with small, tolerant dogs—preferably those who understand that Tiara should be the one in charge and has no problem asserting her royal status. After all, every queen needs her court, even if she occasionally wants to rule the pack with a little growl here and there. She has not been cat tested. Who is the lucky adopter to host this queen?

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
