Story
Meet Hamilton!
Hamilton is a 35lb Poodle (a little too big for a miniature, a little too compact for a standard—basically the perfect in-between!) born on 10/28/2023. This handsome, well-loved boy is searching for a new beginning after being heartbreakingly surrendered when his family moved and could no longer care for him.
Originally purchased from Family Puppy for $4,000, Hamilton has had a great foundation in life. He is a sweet, social, and happy boy who truly enjoys being around people and other dogs. He has even completed training through Sit Means Sit and earned his AKC STAR Puppy award, showing just how smart and eager to learn he is!
Hamilton is a fun-loving guy with a playful spirit. He enjoys toys, thrives on interaction, and has a good understanding of house manners. He is not destructive and settles nicely when given proper exercise and engagement. Like many young dogs, he does get excited and may still jump up to greet you, but it’s all out of love and enthusiasm.
He has done well with other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine companion, especially one with a similar energy level. He has shown no interest in cats and has done well with dog-savvy children who understand respectful interactions.
Hamilton is used to having a fenced yard to run and relieve himself, and this would be ideal for him moving forward. While he has had professional training, he will still need continued guidance - particularly with leash manners, as he can pull on walks. He has had off-leash training, but it will be important for him to build a strong bond with his new family before relying on recall.
As a Poodle, Hamilton will require regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and looking sharp—he’s currently rocking a pretty fancy Poodle-doo! He can also be a bit vocal at times, which may not make him the best fit for apartments or condos. He is also not a good candidate for a tether system, as he thrives on companionship and being part of the family.
Hamilton is looking for an active, committed family who will continue his training, provide him with structure, and most importantly, give him the love and stability he deserves.
This boy has so much to offer—he’s ready to leave the past behind and start his next chapter with a family who will love him furever.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.
Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
