Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat). Peggie is the sweetest and most lovable little dog. She is learning how to navigate well with 3 legs. Because she needs to gain weight she is eating 3 times a day and not walking a lot - she currently weighs about 10 pounds. Peggie's favorite thing is to be held and cuddled - she's perfect for these chilly fall evenings! She'd do best with a human who's mostly home, as she loves being held, carried, and snuggling in her human's lap. She also enjoys chillin' in her dog bed or recliner. Peggie is learning to live with other dogs. She might snap at another dog her size over attention or food. She is 90% potty trained. She's currently using a stroller for longer walks which she didn’t like at first but is ok with now. Peggie can jump into the recliner but crashes if she jumps out due to learning life missing a front paw. She mostly holds here stump leg up and does not use it. She does seem smart as we are learning commands such as come, pee, poop and no. She catches on quickly. Peggie sleeps in a crate at night due to people preference not her choice. She does sleep in the way back of the crate. Peggie is about 3 years old and appears to be a purebred Miniature Poodle. She had been running loose as a stray in a Texas neighborhood for over 2 years. Animal control was finally able to catch her most likely because she was in such horrible shape. Thank goodness she was finally caught and brought to rescue! Peggie will be coming to NorthStar to find a forever home filled with lots of love and all the wonderful things dogs dream of having. If you're interested in Peggie, please fill out an adoption form at .northstarpets and ask for her by name, PEGGIE TX!

Overview:
The Miniature Poodle, a charming and intelligent companion, originated in Germany as a water retriever before being refined in France. They are renowned for their elegant appearance, characterized by a distinctive curly coat (often requiring regular grooming to prevent matting), long muzzle, and expressive dark eyes. Standing typically between 10 to 15 inches tall and weighing 10 to 15 pounds, they are a compact yet sturdy breed. Temperamentally, Miniature Poodles are known for their high intelligence, making them highly trainable and eager to please. They are generally lively, affectionate, and can be quite playful, thriving on interaction with their families. Their adaptable nature makes them well-suited for apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. They are often excellent with children and other pets when properly socialized. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of breed-specific concerns such as progressive retinal atrophy, luxating patella, and Addison's disease. With their captivating looks and bright minds, the Miniature Poodle makes a delightful and devoted family member.
