Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) (medium coat). Crisco is a very special boy. He is a Standard Poodle around 4 years old. We got a call one night that Crisco was at a vets office and the owner was going to put him to sleep. Now..... this dog was once a serious Show Dog and within 2 years his health declined rapidly. Of course we scooped him up and brought him to our vet. He was diagnosed with Pancreatitis, a thyroid condition and he was very underweight. As soon as his Pancreatitis is completely cleared we will test him for Addison's disease. Crisco's skin was awful when we got him but now that he is on thyroid medication it is starting to look better. His owner said he was having about 2 seizures a month but we haven't seen one yet. We have a camera on him in his kennel at the vets office 24/7. Crisco is ready for a foster home if not his forever home. He is absolutely adorable, super friendly and loving and good with other dogs. He is great in a car, on a leash and is house trained. If you are interested in meeting Crisco please fill out an application from our website.

Overview:
The Standard Poodle is a captivating and highly intelligent breed with a rich history, believed to have originated in Germany as a water retriever before being refined in France. Renowned for their distinctive, dense, and curly coat—which is virtually non-shedding, making them a great choice for allergy sufferers—they are elegant and athletic dogs. Physically, they possess a proud carriage, a long muzzle, and dark, expressive eyes, typically weighing between 45-70 pounds. Their temperament is characterized by being highly intelligent, easily trainable, and generally good-natured, though they require mental stimulation to prevent boredom. Standard Poodles are surprisingly adaptable, thriving in active families and even adapting well to apartment living provided they receive adequate exercise and mental engagement. While generally healthy, owners should be aware of potential health concerns like hip dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions. Their combination of brains, beauty, and biddability makes them a truly versatile and rewarding companion.
