This sweet girl is searching for a calm, predictable home where she can feel safe, secure, and loved at her own pace. Simone isn’t looking for a busy or constantly changing environment — she’ll do best in a quiet home without the hustle and bustle of a full household. Because she’s easily startled by sudden noises and quick movements, we don’t think she would do well in a home with children. In her ideal world, Simone would have a canine companion close to her size — one who’s confident, calm, and unafraid to take the lead. She’s always lived with other dogs and takes comfort in following their cues, watching and learning from them as she figures out this new life. A well-adjusted dog friend will help her feel braver and show her the ropes of home life. Simone is still learning that human touch can be a good thing. If you are considering adopting Simone - a do raised in a breeding facility - please read this important article before you submit an application: bestfriends/pet-care-resources/what-expect-when-rescuing-puppy-mill-dog What is my personality like? Meet Simone, a delicate and endearing Shih Tzu with a tender heart and a gentle soul. Everything to Simone is new and she's taking it all in. Right now, interactions and handling can be scary for her, but every day she’s making progress. With steady, gentle guidance, she’s beginning to show glimmers of trust and curiosity. Her perfect adopter will be patient, compassionate, and willing to let Simone set the pace as she grows more confident and comfortable. Since Simone is new to the world of being a pet, she will need time and encouragement to learn leash walking, house manners, and daily routines. With consistency and kindness, she’ll come to understand that she’s safe, loved, and finally home. If you have a quiet household, a steady routine, and perhaps a small dog who’s ready to be a guiding friend, Simone could be the perfect addition to your family. She may start out shy, but once she learns that love and safety surround her, Simone will blossom into the loyal, gentle companion she’s meant to be. How do I act when I first meet new people? Simone is still figuring out what being a beloved companion is all about. She's timid, but gentle. Slow and steady wins the race! Other tips and tidbits: Simone is estimated at 7 years old. We celebrate her birthday 10/5/2018. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule. Please note - we do not ship dogs. If you are interested in adopting, please take a look at the distance between the foster home location and your location and make sure you are willing to make that trip. Most of our dogs are at our farm in Pacolet, South Carolina. To apply, please visit our webpage at .carolinapoodlerescue and visit the tab on the left that directions you to the online application. Please note that when screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, color, age, etc. Others here may be a better fit for you. It is very difficult to get to know a living animal from a picture and a short description. Since we are constantly getting in new dogs, this may be a dog not in our listings yet. We want you to be very happy with your new companion and will make suggestions based on what you tell us about you. Thank you for considering CPR.
