Miniature Poodle puppies and dogs in Orange, Virginia

Meet Biscotti! Big paws, a big personality, and an even bigger heart, meet Biscotti! Biscotti is an adorable 4-month-old female Labradoodle who is ready to find her forever family! Biscotti was originally found as a stray in South Texas and spent an entire month sitting in a shelter, waiting for someone to come claim her. Sadly, no one ever did. After a month of waiting, our rescue stepped in and pulled her to safety, giving her the second chance she deserves! This sweet girl is now being fostered in Millsboro, Delaware, while she waits for someone to fall in love with her! Biscotti is a playful, energetic puppy who absolutely loves being around people! She wants to be wherever you are and enjoys getting attention from everyone around her. She also loves playing with other dogs, although she can be a little unsure of dogs bigger than her. One of the funniest things about Biscotti is that she doesn’t seem to realize just how big she is! She has the most adorable oversized paws that flop around when she runs and plays. She’s still figuring out how to coordinate those big feet! Biscotti is expected to be a medium-to-large dog when fully grown, although we cannot guarantee her adult size. She is an active puppy who would do best with a family that has plenty of space for her to run, play, and burn off energy. A home with a yard would be ideal! Like most puppies her age, Biscotti is still learning her manners and working on potty training. She will need a family prepared to continue her training and provide plenty of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. As a Labradoodle, she will also require regular grooming throughout her life. Biscotti hasn’t had the easiest start since arriving in rescue. She came to us with a pretty bad case of intestinal parasites and needed additional veterinary care, including a visit to rule out parvo. She has been receiving treatment and some extra TLC while recovering. Her future family should be comfortable continuing any necessary care and following veterinary recommendations. Despite everything, Biscotti is a happy, loving, playful girl who just wants to be part of a family! Interested in adopting Biscotti? The first step is completing an adoption application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PDAR/Dog Adoption Fee: $650 A $100 refund will be issued after proof of spay, bringing her final adoption cost to $550. Why Adoption Fees Matter Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake shelters or straight off the streets in South Texas, where packs of stray animals run loose. Your adoption fee directly covers the significant costs required to bring these dogs to safety. We are a registered nonprofit rescue, and any funds remaining after expenses go directly toward helping animals with major medical needs who might otherwise be left behind and euthanized. Biscotti is a perfect example of just how expensive rescue can be! Her initial veterinary exam and health certificate cost approximately $100, and her transportation from Texas was another $200. Unfortunately, she arrived with a severe case of intestinal parasites and needed an additional veterinary visit to rule out parvo, which cost another $500. We’ve also spent approximately $45 on FortiFlora to help settle her stomach, $100 on sensitive stomach food, and $15 on preventatives. That’s already $960 before accounting for the approximately 200 potty pads we’ve gone through, additional vaccines, deworming, microchipping, and everyday care! We’ve already spent well over $1,000 caring for Biscotti, significantly more than her adoption fee. For comparison, Labradoodles from breeders can easily cost $1,600 to $2,500 or more! Every adoption helps us continue saving dogs like Biscotti who deserve a second chance! Your adoption fee covers: Transport: Safe transport from Texas to our local foster homes, costing approximately $200 to $230 per dog. Vetting & Preventive Care: Age-appropriate core vaccines, deworming, a heartworm test (if age appropriate), preventative care, and microchipping. Puppies who are not yet altered are adopted with a spay/neuter agreement, and a $100 refund is provided after proof of surgery. VCA Medical Partnership: Every adoption includes a complimentary first exam at any participating VCA Animal Hospital within the first 14 days. VCA also provides limited health coverage of up to $250 for qualifying minor illnesses, such as kennel cough or ear infections, diagnosed during that initial two-week window. Important Rescue Policies No Foster-to-Adopt Program: We do not offer a foster-to-adopt option. The majority of our dogs are already settled into loving local foster homes, and we aim to minimize unnecessary moves for their emotional well-being. Additionally, our rescue insurance policy prohibits it. Breed and Size Guarantees: We cannot guarantee the breed mix or adult size of any dog in our care. Listed breeds are our best guess based on physical traits. Because our dogs are rescues with unknown histories, we cannot guarantee that a dog is not mixed with pit bull. Puppy Safety: Young puppies who have not completed their full vaccination series are especially vulnerable to diseases like parvo. Until Biscotti has completed her puppy vaccinations and is cleared by a veterinarian, her adopter must follow appropriate precautions, including avoiding dog parks, pet stores, public potty areas, and other high-risk environments.
