Miniature Poodle puppies and dogs in Corvallis, Oregon

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.

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.

Artie is our last sweet boy patiently waiting for a home of his own! We have a transport leaving on 2/27/26 from where we are located in Southern California to NorCal, OR, and surrounding states as needed for our adopting families where we bring our dogs all the way to their homes 💗 For peace of mind we never ask for anything up front. The adoption fee along with your share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person ultimately finalizing the adoption then and there with you. We would love to add our sweet pups to our trip for the right families 😊 Born on 11/6/25, these four beautiful Schnauzer/Poodle babies came to us after their previous family experienced an accidental litter before mama could be spayed. It was never their intention to breed, and they lovingly reached out to us for help. In turn, we ensured both mom and dad were spayed and neutered so no future accidental litters would happen. For size reference, their mom weighs 16.8 lbs and their dad is just under 20 lbs full grown. While genetics give us a helpful guide, mixed breeds can vary slightly in maturity depending on which traits they favor as they grow. These puppies have been raised with intention, structure, affection, and daily hands-on care. They are incredibly well socialized, beautifully tempered, bright, and eager to learn. They are pad trained, sleep peacefully in their enclosed play yard at night, and are used to a structured routine. They have not yet begun outdoor house training or leash training, as we prioritized completing their vaccines before exposing them to shared dog areas. Beginning both house training and leash introduction in their new homes will allow them to bond directly with their adopting families while learning these important life skills in a consistent environment. This approach has helped keep them healthy and sets them up for success as they mature. All four puppies are considered hypoallergenic and have gorgeous coats that favor the Schnauzer side — soft, beautiful texture with that classic Schnauzer look rather than tight Poodle curls. Their coats will require regular grooming to maintain their healthy appearance as they grow. Each puppy has had a full veterinary exam and was cleared medically with a health certificate for their adopting family. They are current on all puppy-age vaccines including Bordetella, have been microchipped, and had fecal testing sent to the lab which came back negative (copies provided). They will go home on spay/neuter contracts as they are far too young to be altered, and keeping them past this bonding window would not benefit their emotional development. It is important they grow into themselves within their own families 💞 While they are siblings, they will be adopted individually unless someone is intentionally seeking a sibling pair. Each one deserves to be chosen for who they are as an individual soul. Now let me introduce you to their hearts… Aria – Female – Black & Tan Currently weighing 7.84 lbs, Aria is expected to mature around 18–20 lbs full grown. She is my shy, serene little girl. She doesn’t rush into the world — she softly steps into it. All she needs is a gentle voice and a few sweet words, and you can literally watch her open up. The moment she feels safe, her tail begins wagging like it has its own heartbeat. She is quiet by nature, calm, and deeply bonded to her person. She enjoys playtime, but her true happy place is simply being near you. She is the kind of puppy who will grow into a loyal, intuitive companion for someone who appreciates a tender heart and a peaceful presence. Aira – Female – Chocolate & Tan Currently weighing 3.93 lbs, Aira is our tiniest girl and expected to mature around 10–12 lbs full grown. Being the runt, she will likely remain a smaller-framed companion — though occasionally the smallest surprise us all with a little growth spurt. Even so, she should remain noticeably more petite than her siblings. She may be little, but her personality is anything but. She is bold in love. She will be the first to tug at your pant leg so you’ll lower yourself to her level — because in her mind, your lap is exactly where she belongs. She is incredibly bright, observant, and very people-oriented. If she can’t find you, she will absolutely let you know she’s looking for you. She bonds deeply and quickly, and her affectionate nature wins hearts instantly. Sweet as pie with a spark of sass, she will thrive with someone who adores an attached little shadow. Artie – Male – Black & Tan Currently weighing 7.87 lbs, Artie is expected to mature around 18–20 lbs full grown, likely being one of the larger siblings alongside Aria. He is my biggest personality and resident teddy bear. He is pure love wrapped in fluff. He has mastered the dramatic “sad puppy” look — especially when he’s gotten into something he shouldn’t have (like pulling fluff from a stuffie 😅). He commits fully to the performance, and it’s nearly impossible to stay upset for long. The moment he knows he’s forgiven, his tail starts wagging and he runs to you like life is perfect again. He is affectionate, playful, and has a soft, goofy charm that makes him unforgettable. He will grow into a loyal, fun-loving companion who keeps life light. Aero – Male – Tri-Color (Tan/Gray/White) Currently weighing 6.73 lbs, Aero is expected to mature around 16–18 lbs full grown, placing him right between the smaller and larger siblings. He is my clever little mastermind. Mischievous? Yes. Intelligent? Absolutely. He watches everything. You can almost see him planning his next move. His current hobby is dragging puppy pads to his bed and shredding them like a built-in paper shredder — and then attempting to convince me it wasn’t him (even when the evidence is literally stuck to his face 😆). He is sly, observant, and incredibly smart. His curiosity and problem-solving nature will flourish in a home that provides mental stimulation and consistent guidance. Underneath his antics is a bright, affectionate boy who just loves engagement. As with all mixed breeds, adult size is an educated estimate based on current growth and parental size, but slight variation is always possible as they mature. What we can confidently say is that they will remain in the small companion range — wonderful sizes for both active households and cozy homes alike. These babies are beautifully balanced — playful yet affectionate, intelligent yet eager to please. They are at the perfect age to bond deeply with their forever families and continue building confidence in a loving home environment. Adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of their adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/aero-artie-aria-aira Their adoption fee covers all veterinary care to date (vaccines including Bordetella, exam, fecal testing with negative lab results, microchips, health certificates), their daily care, socialization, and structured foundation while in our care. As always, a portion also goes back toward the spay and neuter of their parents — because without responsible follow-through, these little lives wouldn’t be possible 💞 If you feel drawn to one of them, tell us about yourself and the life you can offer. We are committed to making the absolute best match for each puppy and their future family.

Pending adoption We have a transport leaving on 2/27/26 from where we are located in Southern California to NorCal, OR, and surrounding states as needed for our adopting families where we bring our dogs all the way to their homes 💗 For peace of mind we never ask for anything up front. The adoption fee along with your share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person ultimately finalizing the adoption then and there with you. We would love to add Freddie to our trip for the right family 😊 Meet Freddie, a gentle, soulful poodle mix (we were told he was a cockapoo, cocker spaniel/poodle mix, He has the hypoallergenic coat of a Poodle so you won't have to worry about shedding!) He is just about two years old now and weighs right around 16 pounds, and yes he is fully grown. Freddie is neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccines, and he’s been thoroughly vetted and cleared to find a home of his very own. Freddie came to us from a background that didn’t give him much opportunity to just be a dog. Because of that, he’s not the loud, demanding, center-of-attention type, instead, he’s quiet, observant, and incredibly thoughtful. In the home, he’s house trained and does great with regular potty breaks every few hours. He’s content to relax nearby, often keeping to himself, but when you invite him in for affection, he absolutely melts into it. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t push for love, but deeply cherishes it once it’s offered. Over the past several months, Freddie has made steady, meaningful progress with confidence. Leash walking is still something he’s building comfort with, but he’s come a long way and continues to improve with gentle guidance and consistency. New experiences can still feel big to him, but each day he shows more curiosity and courage. He enjoys spending peaceful time in the yard and is perfectly happy entertaining himself or lounging in a quiet space. Freddie isn’t trying to escape, he’s simply learned to take things at his own pace, and when he feels safe, his true personality shines. At night, Freddie sleeps calmly in his crate and settles in without issue. He also does well when left alone and doesn’t struggle with anxiety or restlessness. While he’s perfectly comfortable continuing with a crate routine, we can easily see him thriving with a cozy bed nearby or even beside his person once trust is fully established. He’s a dog who bonds deeply, just not instantly, and the connection he forms is sincere and lasting. Freddie would do best in a calm, patient home with someone who understands that confidence isn’t rushed and love doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. He’s not broken, shy, or difficult, he’s simply a dog who learned the world later than most and is still discovering how good life can be. In the right home, with a gentle heart and steady reassurance, he will continue to blossom into the wonderful companion we already know he is. Freddie’s adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/freddie-1 This reflects the veterinary care, daily care, training support, and time invested in helping him heal, grow, and prepare for a successful future. If you feel your home may be the safe, loving place Freddie has been waiting for, we’d love to hear more about you, your lifestyle, and your experience with the breed. Sometimes the quiet ones are the ones who love the deepest. Freddie is just waiting for someone to see him 🩵

We would love to add Abigail to our trip for the right family 😊 Abigail Maltese/Poodle mix (with the cutest little underbite that makes us think she may have a touch of Shih Tzu somewhere in her DNA 🙃) Birthday 5/20/24 Right around 9 lbs, full grown and at a beautiful healthy weight. Abigail is one of those girls who simply makes you smile. She has a soft straight-to-wavy coat when grown out, which makes coat maintenance much easier than a tighter curl. She is hypoallergenic, so shedding won’t be a concern, and she is wonderful with our groomers — truly, she loves a good spa day and soaks up the attention. She has such an easygoing, happy nature. Always lighthearted. Always content being part of whatever the day may bring. Road trips? She’s ready. Running errands? She’s in. Quiet evening at home? Her favorite. She just wants to be near her person and included in your world — however big or small that world may be 💕 She loves meeting new people and will gladly roll over for belly rubs or ear scratches without hesitation. She is not a barker, but she will politely alert you to unfamiliar noises without being excessive. Abigail does beautifully with other dogs. Her confidence naturally matches dogs closer to her size, but if given proper introductions and time to build trust, she does very well with larger dogs too. She simply prefers energy that feels safe and balanced for her at first. With patience, she forms lovely bonds and will make a wonderful addition to a home with existing pets. She walks nicely on leash and enjoys her daily strolls. She was trained off leash, but for her safety — especially around wildlife or stray animals — we always encourage leash use in public areas. She is crate trained (although she would absolutely vote for sleeping in your bed if given the choice 😌). If being in bed isn’t an option, she settles beautifully as long as she can see you and know you are close by. Proximity to her person brings her comfort. She is house trained and goes outside every 3–4 hours to use the restroom. She was also trained to use potty pads and does well with either routine, though in our care she primarily goes outdoors. Abigail came to us because her previous owner had to relocate quickly and could not afford the pet fees required at her new residence. With limited time and options, she asked us to take Abigail in and find her the incredible home she deserves — and that is exactly what we are committed to doing. At the end of the day, Abigail would be just as happy being your little princess as she would being part of a pack. She is gentle, beautifully natured, happy all the time, and ready to give her whole heart to her forever family. Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/abigail It includes her veterinary exam, vaccines, microchip and registration, spay, grooming, daily care, and the training she has received while in our care. If you feel Abigail may be the missing piece in your life, we would love to talk more and see if she is the right fit for your family 💕
