Story
Sex: FemaleBreed: Poodle/Golden Retriever xEstimated Date of Birth : 07/01/2024Let’s just face it Mitzi is a lot! And when we say a lot we mean your average adopter is going to give up on this girl. She may be super adorable and have the look so many people want but Mitzi is definitely not easy. No one has taught her rules or boundaries and it shows. Not only does she have a lot of energy but she does all kinds of things most adopters just won’t be able to manage. She air snaps, bolts, is mouthy, picks fights with other dogs and resource guards all kinds of things from any dog in the home. Shes the cutest hot mess you’ve ever seen and the good news is with the right adopter, one with lots of experience, this girl could thrive. Mitzi came to us from a fellow rescue partner. She had two failed adoptions because well everything we mentioned previously and just couldn’t find her adoption fit. She also wasn’t getting the structure she needed and so we offered to help. Mitzi is now at our rescue ranch and staff have started her on the basics. It’s going to take time and loads of consistency but we know Mitzi can improve she just needs the guidance she’s never had. We know Mitzi’s adorable face is going to get all kinds of interest and we’ll probably get lots of applications but we need to be very clear. Mitzi is not the right dog for a 1st time adopter. She wouldn’t be a good fit for a family with young children. She’s not going to be best friends with your dog. She will drive you nuts if you aren’t active and don’t believe in rules and a routine. Mitzi will thrive with an experienced adopter with enough training knowledge to both balance and challenge her. Currently we don’t consider her dog social but that could change as her behavior is better managed and she learns to control her impulses better. Mitzi is a lot but for the right home she promises to give a lot too. She’s super sweet and in tune to her humans. She bonds quickly and deeply. Mitzi just wants what she’s never had a home committed to giving her that lifetime of love she wants more than anything else. A lifetime of love paired with the rules and boundaries to keep her there.
