Story
Meet Sprocket, a 4-year-old Poodle mix with a big personality and a heart full of potential. Sprocket has had a rough start and comes with a history of reactivity and biting. He’s a scared dog who needs a firm, experienced owner to help him feel secure and establish boundaries. Sprocket has had training sessions and responds well to clear, consistent leadership. Once he knows you’re in charge, he’s much more relaxed and doesn’t push back. However, he does react to new people and should wear a muzzle during initial introductions for safety. Despite his challenges, Sprocket has no health issues and thrives on affection from his trusted person. He enjoys being cuddled and will show his sweet side once he’s built trust. If you’re an experienced dog owner ready to provide a structured, loving environment, Sprocket could be a rewarding companion. He’s looking for someone who can help him overcome his fears and show him the love and stability he deserves.

Story
Meet Dwight, a 3-4 year old cocktail of poodle, doodle, and cocker spaniel (we think!). Dwight's foster mom says that he is the most lovable dog! He loves to snuggle and is always so happy to be around his person. Dwight gets along with dogs and cats, but he doesn't play with other dogs. Instead, Dwight loves to play games such as tug-of-war with his rope toys. He enjoys going on long walks, which has been helpful because he arrived a bit overweight and could still lose a couple more pounds. A mellow fellow indoors, Dwight is happy curling up to watch a movie with his person, too. He is not much of a barker unless he is startled or hears unknown noises; otherwise, he is a very quiet dog. He is being fostered in an apartment, so we know he would do well with an adopter who lives in an apartment, condo, or house with a yard. He would be a great fit for someone who works remotely and can spend lots of time with him, hanging out and going on walks. Come meet Dwight!

Story
Meet Freddie our sweet one year old poodle mix. He weighs 15 pounds full grown. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his vaccines. The vet sent him home with a clean bill of health and is now ready to find a home all his own. He is house trained and goes outside to do his business every couple hours when needed. Inside the home, he's pretty independent and keeps to himself unless you're calling him over for some love and attention. He's not the type to demand affection, but he absolutely soaks it up when it's offered. He is still getting the hang of walking on a leash and building confidence as his previous life as a breeder dog didn't include many outings, so everything is still a little unfamiliar to him but he's making steady progress. He enjoys spending quiet time out in the yard and will happily hang out on his own, especially if he's not quite ready to come inside. He's a bit of a hide and seek pro when he wants to be. Every day he gets a little braver, a little more curious, and a little more confident. He currently sleeps in his crate peacefully at night but I'm sure he would love his own bed next to yours if you prefer. He sleeps soundly through the night and settles in easily when you need to step out. What he needs now is someone with patients and a gentle heart, someone who understands that love and trust take time to grow. He'd thrive in a calm, nurturing home where he can continue building confidence at his own pace. His adoption fee is $1500 which covers all vet costs, care and training since the time he's been with us. Get in touch with us today and share details about yourself, the loving home you can provide, and your experience with the breed. Located in Hesperia CA. We offer transportation to you so long as it's covered by the adopter. We will be in contact with you shortly. Thank you!

Adopting a Poodle

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Poodle - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost of a Standard Poodle can vary widely based on factors such as pedigree, lineage, breeder reputation, and location. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 or even more for a Standard Poodle puppy from a reputable breeder. Adoption fees for Standard Poodles from rescue organizations or shelters can range from $200 to $600, depending on the organization and the dog’s age, health, and background.

If you’re interested in adopting a Standard Poodle, several avenues can help you find your new furry friend. Local animal shelters and breed-specific rescue organizations often have Standard Poodles in need of loving homes. Websites such as Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, and Rescue Me! can also be valuable resources for finding Standard Poodles available for adoption in your area. Additionally, reaching out to breed clubs or contacting local veterinarians and pet professionals can help you connect with reputable rescue groups or individuals looking to rehome their Standard Poodles.

Poodle fun facts

Fun Facts:

In the 1980s and 90s, Poodles raced in the Iditarod and in various other sled races. Eventually, however, they were banned from sled-racing as problems with their paws and wet, matted fur made it unsafe for them to work as sled dogs in the Alaskan climate.

Poodles were originally bred and used to work in the water. Their gentle mouths (like their friends the Retrievers) rendered them perfect for use in retrieving ducks and other birds from the water. In France, they were called "caniche," or "duck dog."

World War II popularized the Poodle breed with its use of the dogs in miilitary service. The premier American breeder of Poodles was quoted as saying of their ability to be used in army service: "The dog must play a game in this thing."
