Story
Triscuit is a fluffy little feisty nugget. He’s an amazing Toy Poodle puppy. He wakes up, plays hard like he’s the size of a German Shepard but will hit his limit and cuddle up in a ball close by, or on top of, his human for a quick nap. He doesn’t have the best appetite and is a picky eater, so nibbles through out the day, which doesn’t seem to affect his energy level at all, he’s still has lots of energy. He recently turned some of his toddler sounding whines into ferocious little barks and it’s the cutest thing ever. He loves to play with kids and adults alike and he especially loves being held. He’s not potty completely trained, but he’s pretty good about going potty outside or on the pee pads in his pen. When he’s tired he puts himself to bed and sleeps pretty well on his own, but sometimes likes to party in the middle of the night and needs a reminder that it 2am and not 2pm. He’ll likely mellow with age and improving comfort with his surroundings.
All things said, he’s a spunky, fun, cute little pup and will make a great addition to any family. He takes frequent puppy naps. Sleeps most of the night on his own in a puppy play pen. He would prefer to sleep on or near you, so he sometimes can have a hard time re-settling at night. He potties outside in grass mostly. He will pee on pads if not taken out soon enough. Going out right after he wakes up is a good idea. He is good with children and stuffed toys, but doesn’t have much experience with cats or other dogs. He especially loves stuffed toys and drags them around and thrashes them about. He provides an endless source of amusement to the humans in his world and will be happy to liven up your home with love and laughs.

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:
✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.
✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).
✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.
The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.
Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.
Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
