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

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) (long coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Fiora, lovingly known as FeeFee, is a delicate little Mini Poodle who has perfected the art of quietly slipping into your heart before you even realize she’s done it. She’s the shy girl who peeks around corners, thinks about trusting you for a solid five seconds, and then decides maybe—just maybe—you’re worthy of one tiny kiss delivered when you aren’t looking. She’s cautious, thoughtful, and a world-class hider, especially in new environments where she briefly imagines herself as an Olympic escape artist. But beneath that timid first impression is a gentle, goofy sweetheart who is slowly learning how wonderful it feels to be safe, silly, and loved. Fiora absolutely adores her foster fur siblings - they’re her built-in bodyguard, roommate, and emotional support fuzzball. They help tell her, “It’s okay, Fee, the humans are actually pretty nice,” while Fiora nods, gathers her courage, and then sits close enough to share snacks. Their bond is deep, sweet, and sometimes hilarious—especially when they insist on sharing the exact same sleeping spot between their humans’ pillows like two fluffy bookends. Fiora loves naps on her foster dad’s belly, investigating the fenced yard, and sampling every snack known to dogkind, including fruits and veggies like she’s auditioning for a canine grocery-store commercial. She’s quiet, gentle, crate trained, and wonderfully polite. She isn’t leash trained yet and can freeze like a tiny statue if you try, so a fenced yard is important for her. She’s also a master at the cozy lifestyle, happy to curl up in bed any time of day and claim her spot as if she pays rent. Life hasn’t always been kind to Fiora—her little ears and tail show signs of a rough past—but she is healing beautifully in a calm home with patient humans and another dog by her side. She has so much love to give once she feels safe. She sneaks sweet kisses, wiggles softly for pets, and has a gentle sparkle that you can’t help but fall for. She truly thrives with another dog, and she would be over the moon to be adopted with her foster fur sibling Isley, if you’re looking for a sweet pair! Fiora is a soft, tender soul with a silly streak waiting to bloom. Whoever adopts her gets the sweetest gift: a quiet, gentle companion who loves deeply, naps often, and finds joy in the little things—especially if those little things are snacks. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
