WINNIE - POODLE (MINIATURE) (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) (long coat). Meet Winnie. This precious little Poodle girl came from a bewildering situation. Her owners were hobby breeders who purposely bred their dogs but couldn’t find good homes for all the puppies or provide them with proper care. The pups were not kept current on essential vaccinations and were confined indoors full-time, never experiencing a yard, walks, or the outside world. We understand that caring for and vetting puppies is expensive and a lot of work, but that’s exactly why you shouldn’t breed if you’re not prepared for the responsibility. Thankfully, when the owners realized they couldn’t place the remaining puppies, they reached out to rescue for help. Worthy Dog took in two, and another local rescue took the other two. Winnie came to us needing updated vaccinations, was itchy from fleas, and was badly in need of grooming. After a trip to the vet and a spa day, she already looks and feels so much better. She’s now thriving in her foster home, which includes a mom, dad, two teens, and three dogs. Shy at first, Winnie has begun trusting her humans and finding comfort in her new pack. She joyfully romps in the yard, follows the other dogs’ lead, and eagerly joins pack walks. She’s making steady progress with potty training (no accidents in days!), and has quickly bonded with her foster mom. Winnie has a gentle, loving nature and has proven wonderful with kids, too. Winnie’s life has completely changed. She’s learning what it means to be a happy, cherished family dog! We are hoping to bring Winnie to town in early October. Apply today!
