Story
Lady Gaga is a 4 year old Poodle mix, with a very sweet, bonding, loving, and affectionate personality. She is a sensitive girl who becomes very attached to her people. She has always lived with other dogs, but would love to be the only apple of her person's eye. She would be fine with another friendly dog or even two.
Lady is fostered in Linn County, Oregon. We are about an hour from Eugene, Sisters, Corvallis and Salem, and about 2 hours from Portland and Newport.
Lady is house trained, leash trained and rides nicely in the car. She stays home loose without any problem, however she is accustomed to human company most of the time, so we seek a home where she will ideally have company most of the time. She would make a great activity, travel, and out on the town companion, and would also enjoy being a home body as long as she gets the activity she needs for her weight and health. She is moderate energy.
Lady is on a diet with the goal of losing about 15 pounds. This will involve both diet and exercise. We seek adopters who will be committed to helping Lady achieve this goal for her health. She has lost weight before, so we know it can be done! We will report back as she loses weight in rescue.
Lady is vaccinated, de-wormed, DNA tested, micro-chipped and has had a recent dental. She comes with her belongings: bed, toys, leash, collar, the remainder of her food. Her adoption fee is $350.
A great home for Lady Gaga and her must haves include:
1. An owned or stable renter home with a securely fenced yard.
2. Adopters home a lot, or who can take her with them. Lady is used to having people around, and though non-destructive and fine alone, she is just not used to it. We welcome folks who can help her adjust to reasonable periods of time alone.
3. Active folks who take their dog on daily walks. Folks who would help her lose 15 pounds of extra weight.
4. People who believe in good nutrition and vet care, and who know and are prepared for the cost of grooming.

Please be sure that all family members are on board with adopting a new family member before applying. Be available for a meet and adoption in the week following applying. Be motivated to adopt a new family member and be willing to travel to meet her. Rescue is an extremely busy full time volunteer gig; if you apply for a dog at a distance, please be ready to drive all or almost all of that distance to meet and adopt her. We are willing to drive an hour for those coming from afar.
Non-cigarette smokers only, please.
