Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Toy) (medium coat). Nine-year-old Tootsie has already lived a lifetime of hardship—but you’d never know it from the quiet sweetness she carries today. For years, this tiny poodle was left outside on a short lead, her coat matted to the skin, her body crawling with fleas. When one of our incredible volunteers rescued her, we couldn’t even tell what breed she was. A gentle shave-down, extensive dental work, and months of tender veterinary care later, Tootsie is finally thriving in her foster home. Tootsie’s heart truly comes alive around other dogs. She absolutely needs canine companions and especially loves big dogs—her favorite cuddle buddy is an 80-lb Pittie mix! With people, she can be a little shy at first, but patience and kindness help her bloom into a devoted friend. Tootsie is a gentle, soulful senior who longs for: • A home with at least one friendly dog • A secure yard for leisurely exploring • Humans who understand she may need a moment to trust—but who will be rewarded with quiet loyalty and love

Poodle (Toy)
A.K.A.: Caniche Miniatura, Dwarf Poodle, Miniature Poodle, Pudel Zwerg, Kleinpuddel
Overview:
The Toy Poodle is a captivating and intelligent breed, originating in Germany as a water retriever before being miniaturized in France. Physically, they are known for their distinctive, dense, and curly single-layer coat, which is virtually non-shedding, making them a popular choice for individuals with allergies. They possess an elegant, well-proportioned build, bright, dark eyes, and a proud, confident gait. In terms of temperament, Toy Poodles are remarkably smart, alert, and highly trainable, eager to please their owners. They thrive on companionship and mental stimulation, often excelling in canine sports like obedience and agility. Their adaptable nature makes them well-suited for various living situations, including apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental engagement. They are generally good with respectful children and can integrate well into families. While generally robust, like many purebreds, they can be predisposed to certain health conditions such as patellar luxation, progressive retinal atrophy, and Addison's disease, highlighting the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
