Story
From Foster Mom: I would describe Martha as a beautiful work in progress. Martha is learning how to be a dog. Like a lot of dogs with her background, Martha is more comfortable with dogs than she is people. She wants to be more comfortable and is working very hard to get over her fear so that she can enjoy the scratches. She is still very timid about getting pets and snuggles, but she watches you closely and will follow you around. When she sees a yummy treat in foster mom's hands, she has learned to be brave and come close to get it, or sniff fingers when her foster siblings are getting pets and scratches. Martha enjoys bones and loves her food and treats. She wants to lay near you while she enjoys her favorite things. She is crate trained and potty trained. Martha will need a home where there are other small dogs. She will need to be in a home with only older teenaged children, or no children. Martha doesn’t like to be picked up, will run from you to avoid it, and special care has to be used to keep her from panicking when you have to. Over time, she will get more accustomed, but she needs to learn to trust you. Martha is super sweet but will need somebody that is willing to be patient with her because she is a work in progress. Great things about Martha 1. Loves to be close to her people 2. Curious and smart 3. Will have a beautiful golden coat once it grows out 4. Soulful eyes 5. She’s a survivor! MUST HAVE: Fenced yard and lots of patience for Martha to come around on her own terms and timeline.

Story
Behaviors: Mule is gentle and sweet. Sometimes loud noises or abrupt gestures make him back up and lie on his tummy. He is still learning that he's safe now. Cats: indifferent Other dogs: comfortable, sometimes curious, usually indifferent Children: loves children Adults: loves adults, greets visitors Potty Training Progress: Work in progress, needs a committed home to continue his training Other behavioral info: Mule doesn't bark unless resident dogs bark, then he joins in. Watch carefully for sticks and other unsafe small chewable items. He does great if he has a Nylabone or other toys meant for safe chewing. Great things about Mule: This buddy is a lover! He climbs all over the humans, brings stuffies for fetch, is amazing on a leash and in the car, allows belly bands and harness to be put on easily, behaves at the vet, he's curious and calm, and he tolerates baths and grooming. Foster is brushing and removing old mats daily, because poodles do require frequent grooming. Adopter will need to have or establish a relationship with a groomer. Other things to know about Mule: Mule gets jealous! He's being fostered with three resident dogs his size, and when anybody is getting pets, he will try to gently but firmly insert himself. When other dogs are playing with toys, he chases the toys fastest, and brings them to the foster family. He wants to please his people. We practice waiting his turn by making him last in line for treats each time, and he is doing well. Mule also prefers to sleep with humans- kids or adults- as opposed to his kennel.

Story
Behaviors- Cats: Not tested Other dogs: Loves his dog friends Children: very unsure right now but a little curious. Adults: If he trusts you, he loves you Potty Training Progress: Doing really well on a good schedule. Great things about Pooh: Pooh is pure fun! He loves you with his whole being. I mean just look at this absolutely unique beautiful poodle! He will literally wrap his little front paws around my leg and hug me. He is really happy if you will hold his paw. He is very smart and is catching onto things very quickly. But loud quick things can be a bit scary still. Slow and steady is best with Pooh. He is around a lot of other dogs right now and is doing great with each one of them. He is learning to respect boundaries with the other dogs. He is a perfect size. Not too big and not too small. His facial expressions are priceless. I swear he is trying to communicate. He is learning to play with toys and is entertaining himself very well with them.
