Miniature Poodle puppies and dogs in New Prague, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Bianca and I am from Minnesota. From her foster: Bianca is a gentle, affectionate miniature poodle who truly shines once she feels safe. Her favorite place in the world is right by your side, especially if that includes a cozy lap, soft pets, and plenty of cuddles. She’s happiest simply being with her people and soaking up affection. Bianca can be shy at first, particularly with new men, but with patience and kindness she warms up and forms deep, loving bonds. In her foster home, she gets along well with an older dog and enjoys simple games like chasing tossed kibble. Treats are definitely the way to her heart! She’s still gaining confidence on leash and currently uses pee pads, though she does go outside at times as well. At bedtime, Bianca loves sleeping with her people but is also comfortable resting in a covered kennel, especially if she can keep the door open. Bianca would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can continue building confidence at her own pace. For the right family, she’ll be a devoted little companion who offers endless love and snuggles.

Elliana They gave me a fancy name at last! Can you believe it? I have been used as a breeder dog for years and years and then dumped at the local pound with a mammary gland tumor that you could play tennis with!! Who does that!!! At least that is what my foster mom thinks my life has been like. I sat there in a cage at animal control for 4 weeks before anyone would think about pulling me out of there but my foster mom said that she had to take me home so that I would have a chance to be a beloved pet before I die. Not that I am planning to do that anytime soon, but you never know. Anyhow, I went to the vet right away and had that big nasty thing taken off my stomach and the vets knew right away what it was and what it was from. They took out the baby making bits as well, so I won’t have to go through having my babies and then losing them right away to being just a baby and money making factory for somebody. Sheesh….get a job!! I have some issues, I won’t lie, but I am starting to kind of get used to being out of a cage, where I learned to circle around and around as there wasn’t a lot of space in those things. I can walk in a straight line and the more I get time outside, the more I am enjoying the fresh air and smells in the grass. I will revert to circles when I am nervous but Rome wasn’t built in a day and I have only had freedom for a couple of months now. I don’t have many teeth, as the ones I did have were rotted and broken from trying to eat the bars I suppose. I startle easily from the lack of being held and loved in my former life, and will try to “gum” you if I pick me up too quickly. But speaking to me and touching me before you pick me up will let me know you are there and going to be gentle with me. I am still getting used to the being held part, and sometimes can’t tolerate it very long, but I am learning and going slow is really helpful to me. I am learning what good food tastes like, and what a soft bed feels like, and while I have pretty limited vision to see things, I can follow my nose and it helps me to find everything I need to get around. Foster mom leaves me a puppy pad to potty on in the house if I have to go at night, and I am pretty good at using it. It took a while to figure out that is what it was for, but also, if I potty outside after meals, I am good if I keep to a schedule. So that is my story. If you are interested in giving a blind old lady a soft landing for the rest of my life, let me know. Local adoption in Texas only please.

Me me me me meeeeeee!!!!!! What? Oh. My foster mom says that is NOT how to spell my name. It is spelled “MiMi" which sounds the same but who cares how it is spelled. I am a vintage model of a little poodle and I was a much loved member of the family at one time. Not to say that I am spoiled or anything but I know what I want when I want it! So it really is all about me! I adore being around my people and love being held. I will make little whimpering noises if you are there and I think I haven’t had enough lap time and look at you with my puppy dog eyes so that you feel guilty and pick me up where I want to be. I am a healthy 14 year old poodle who is scheduled for spay and teeth cleaning on Jan. 5th and then will be able to go to my new home after that. I use a potty pad when I am sleeping on the floor, but my foster mom puts a diaper on me when I sleep on your bed because I am not too keen about jumping off the bed. So when I have to potty, if I am on the bed, sometimes I will potty the bed. But the diaper takes care of that. I am a whopping 10 pounds and do walk pretty well of a leash as long as you don’t walk too fast. I am housebroken if you take me out on a schedule. Adoption fee in Texas is $200 Out of State fee with transport and fuel surcharge is $450.

He may start out skittish, but once he chooses his person, he becomes a loyal little shadow who wants nothing more than to be close. Rigel tends to feel more comfortable around women and can be unsure of men at first, sometimes barking or growling when he’s nervous. With consistency and calm reassurance, he settles and has even been known to curl up next to his foster dad once he feels safe. Now that he’s gaining confidence, Rigel is beginning to show his playful side. He loves small stuffed toys, nightly chew sessions with bully sticks or pig ears, and cuddling on the couch or in bed. He enjoys being out and about as long as his trusted person is right beside him, and he rides quietly in the car. Rigel does best with another dog in the home—preferably one similar in size—who can help him continue learning how to be a confident house dog. He has lived with cats and done well, and he gets along with most dogs, though he avoids pushy or cantankerous personalities. A fenced yard is important for him, as he loves the freedom to explore safely. Potty training is coming along nicely with a schedule, and he knows cues like “outside” and “go potty.” Crates are not his favorite and he takes time to settle, but he does well when riding in one in the car. Rigel is a sweet, intelligent little dog who blossoms with patience. Once he bonds, he is affectionate, cuddly, and devoted. He will thrive in a calm home with considerate older kids or adults, a gentle canine companion, and someone willing to give him the time he needs to trust. With the right family, Rigel will become the loving, loyal companion he’s meant to be.

She’s a miniature shadow who follows her people everywhere, determined to be both your personal assistant and your full-time emotional support gremlin. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who will love you with her entire soul and also judge you just a tiny bit while doing it, Izzy is your girl. Izzy warms up slowly to new people, especially men, and she is not afraid to announce her suspicions with a bark or two (or ten). The whole time she’s barking, her tail is wagging like mad because she’s brave, but she’s also friendly, and she also has a lot of feelings and wants to share them all at once. Once she decides you’re safe, she melts into a puddle of cuddles, kisses, and goofy charm. She loves treats, toys, puzzle games, raw bones, and anything edible—even strawberries and bell peppers. She is very proud of this. She’s food-motivated, attention-motivated, and absolutely certain she deserves both at all times. Izzy plays beautifully with dogs and cats, though what she wants most is a human who’s home a lot so she can keep her favorite job: professional lap warmer. Izzy is crate trained and does well once she’s in, though she’ll give you her best dramatic monologue about how she’d rather not. Potty training is definitely still a work in progress, but she’s getting there—slowly but surely—with routine, patience, and frequent breaks. She’s working on leash skills too, mostly because she’s very busy being adorable indoors and hasn’t quite decided if walking nicely outside is worth the effort. Her bond with other pups is strong, and she takes her protector role seriously. She will curl up happily with them in the coziest spots—often in a dark closet or wedged between pillows like tiny royalty figures napping on a throne. Izzy has a whole vocabulary of barks, from her excited play chirps to her “something suspicious is happening” alarm call. She’s expressive, funny, affectionate, and smart in that mischievous poodle way that means she’ll make you laugh daily. Izzy is a quirky, cuddly, vocal little sweetheart who will adore her people with her entire heart. If you want a tiny companion who sleeps like a princess, plays like a goofball, and loves like she means it, Izzy is ready to claim her spot in your pillows—and in your life.  Off you’re looking for an adorable pair, adoptable Fiora is her bestie!
