Story
NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION…..
Say hello to happy, happy, happy “MISS HUGO” who is so friendly, sociable and loving. Did I tell you she’s also happy?
This very pretty 4-year-old (born August 14, 2020), AKC, black, Standard Poodle weighs a healthy 64 pounds and stands at 26″ from the floor to her withers.
She comes to us from a loving family who could no longer care for their beloved big girl due to their health issues. Hugo had been deeply loved and well cared for.
Hugo has been an only dog but gets along just fine with other dogs who can tolerate her silliness. However, she really wants to be with people and likes men, women as well as older children. She will muzzle your hand so you will pet her, will follow you around to see what you’re doing, will jump onto your lap for attention and will climb onto your bed to cozy up with you.
Going for a walk is also what makes her very happy as then she can see more squirrels. True to her breed, Hugo’s prey drive is strong. Mike (who walks her 2 miles every day) is working with her about not pulling on her leash. We have seen improvement as she is a very smart girl too.
We also have seen an improvement on her NOT jumping up onto people. YIKES! Not tolerated! That behavior is a firm, loud, want to meet Jesus “NO!” (smart girl!)
Hugo had not used any of our dog beds, as she enjoyed our sofa, which is not included in her adoption.
But she has quickly learned to relax and enjoy a dog bed, which is included with her adoption.
Hugo is a perfect lady in our home (housetrained) and allowed to freely roam our house when we are home. If we are gone, she has no problem being in her wire crate where she is quiet and content.
She is an expert on doing the Poodle zoomies, counter surfing and chasing a ball. She will also come when called, will sit when told to do so and is very food motivated.
Your big warm hugs and loving attention make Hugo happy.
*A SECURLY FENCED YARD will be recommended as Hugo loves to run.
*You must be physically able to handle a large Standard Poodle.
*Preference will be given to a family with past Standard Poodle experience.
*Large, easy-going dogs are fine.
BUT PLEASE:
*NO puppies or cats.
*NO aggressive or assertive dogs (they scare her and me).
*NO young children.
*Like most rescue groups, we do NOT adopt our Poodles to homes more than 1 day’s drive (round trip) from our location here in central Minnesota.
Yes. This is a very rare opportunity for the right family as we all know that a good Standard Poodle is hard to find. With the introduction of Doodles, sadly the Standard Poodles are becoming harder to find. Why Doodle when you can Poodle?
Hugo has been spayed, teeth cleaned, is up to date on her vaccinations, worming, heartworm/Ehrlich/ Anaplasmosis (4DX) tested negative, placed on a heartworm preventative, and Home Again microchipped.
Hugo had been slightly Lymes tested positive. She did not have a fever, nor did she display any symptoms, so we moved forward by treating her with Doxycycline. She is just fine.
As with all the other Standard Poodles we have adopted, Hugo’s adoption fee is 1 million, trillion, zillion dollars. However, for the right family her adoption fee is $700.00 which includes $48.00 for our 7.375% Minnesota state sales tax and helps pay for just some of her Vet work.
Also included is her leash, collar, a bag of quality dog food, a 10-gallon dog food container, treats, a cute toy box, her wire crate, a large dog bed along with several soft blankets and lots of good information to help your Poodle adoption move forward on the right paw!
Again, Hugo is a very nice, smart, silly and loving Standard Poodle girl who wants and truly deserves a loving “forevermore” home.
