Story
We have a transport leaving September 26th 2026 from where we are located in Southern California to NorCal, OR, and surrounding states as needed for our adopting families where we bring our dogs all the way to their homes 💗 For peace of mind we never ask for anything up front. The adoption fee along with your share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person ultimately finalizing the adoption then and there with you. We would love to add Dahlia to our trip for the right family 😊
Meet our beautiful Dahlia 🤍
Dahlia is a gorgeous Standard Poodle with the most beautiful coloring, depending on who you ask, you may hear her described as white Merle or Parti colored. Whatever technical name you want to give her coat, there is no denying that this girl is absolutely beautiful. She is also a larger Standard Poodle, weighing in at 60 lbs 💕
Dahlia came to us after her owner was preparing to move out of state and was unable to take her along. Sometimes life changes leave wonderful dogs needing an entirely new chapter through absolutely no fault of their own, and Dahlia has made it very clear since arriving that she is more than ready to settle right back into being someone’s beloved girl.
And when I say settle in, I mean Dahlia wasted very little time figuring out how things work around here 😂
She discovered our bed all on her own and has since been caught peacefully napping there, completely stretched out and comfortable as if she had been sleeping there her entire life. Apparently, Dahlia believes that if a bed is available, it should not go to waste! She is crate trained and can absolutely use a crate when needed, but she is so wonderful in the home that she doesn’t need to spend her life in one. Give her a comfortable place to lay, let her be part of the family, and she is perfectly happy.
She is fully housetrained and does wonderfully going outside throughout the day. Her house manners have been wonderful, especially considering her size. She knows how to settle, relax, and simply coexist with everyone around her without needing constant entertainment or direction.
Dahlia is also good on leash and enjoys getting out and about. She is a big girl, so naturally there is a lot more dog at the end of the leash than there would be with one of our tiny ones, but she listens well and has been wonderful to handle.
She is GREAT in the car and travels beautifully, which is something we always appreciate with our dogs. Whether her future consists of trips around town, visits with family, vacations, or simply tagging along for everyday errands, Dahlia is more than happy to hop in and go along for the ride.
She is also wonderful at the groomers, another pretty important quality when you are talking about a Standard Poodle! She handles the grooming process beautifully and has been an absolute pleasure for them. Her future family will need to be committed to maintaining her coat with regular professional grooming, but thankfully Dahlia makes that part pretty easy.
One of the things we love most about her is how naturally social she is. Dahlia is great with everyone she meets. She isn’t a girl who wants to hide away from the world or needs convincing that new people can be friends. She has a wonderful temperament and genuinely enjoys people, affection, and being included in whatever is happening around her.
She has that combination that can be so hard to find in a larger dog, she is substantial enough to feel like a true big companion, yet she knows how to live comfortably inside a home. She can go for a ride, walk nicely on leash, behave for her groomer, meet new people happily, and then come home and promptly locate the most comfortable sleeping spot available. 😂🤍
Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/dahlia-1
Her adoption fee helps cover the veterinary care and everything that goes into preparing her for adoption which includes her spay, dental cleaning and polish, yearly vaccines, microchip & registration, and her exam with our vet which went perfect 💕
Dahlia isn’t looking for anything complicated. She needs someone who wants a beautiful, loyal Standard Poodle sharing their home, their adventures, their everyday life, and, judging by what we have learned about her so far, quite possibly their bed too. 😂🤍
She lost the home she knew because life changed around her. Now we get the privilege of finding the home that won’t just be her next stop, but the place where she gets to unpack her heart, get comfortable, and know that she is finally home for good. 🤍
