Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat). Meet Peggie — The Pocket-Sized Tripod Queen (Yes, she’s got three legs, one attitude, and endless love to give.) If you’ve ever wished for a dog who’s equal parts cuddlebug, comedian, and tiny warrior princess, congratulations — your soulmate is here. Peggie is a sweet, lovable little nugget who’s still learning how to navigate the world on three legs… and tbh, she’s doing it with more grace than most of us on a Monday. Three legs, zero limitations (okay, maybe one or two) Peggie lost a front paw, so she’s figuring out how to balance, jump, and do life in general. She can launch herself into a recliner like an Olympian… but exiting? Let’s just say gravity wins. She mostly hops along holding her little stump up like a tiny princess requesting to be carried — which, honestly, is her preferred lifestyle. She tires easily, so she currently rides in a stroller like the diva she is. She didn’t like it at first, but now she’s basically tolerating her chauffeur service. Foodie in training Peggie needs to gain weight, so she eats three small meals a day and thinks that’s a pretty sweet deal. Fair warning: she may side-eye or snap at another dog her size if they try to steal her snacks or her human’s attention. She’s learning — but like any girl on a diet, she’s not sharing. Potty training? She’s 90% there! Peggie doesn’t ask to go out, so she’ll need someone who sends her out on a schedule. She’s smart and catches on fast — she’s already learning “come,” “pee,” “poop,” and “no,” because yes, she’s that brilliant. World-class cuddler, lap hog, professional snuggler, Peggie is happiest when: she is in your lap she is about to be in your lap she is thinking about being in your lap If you sit, she will claim you. If she can’t? She’ll settle for the dog bed next to you… but she won’t be happy about it. Also, that new dog bed? She is actively destroying it. It’s her process. Don’t ask questions. Other dogs & cats She’s learning to coexist with dogs and is now best friends with Callie, her foster sister. She may snap at dogs over food or lap time — nothing dramatic. Just a “hey, back off, that’s MY person” kind of vibe. Indoor cats are unknown, but she is interested in the barn cats. Probably for their food. Respect. Stranger danger… kinda Peggie barks ferociously at people entering the house — even people she knows. She sounds like she’s about to file a police report, but there’s zero bite behind that bark. As soon as she decides you’re cool (takes her a few mins), she wants to be held, kissed, snuggled, and adored. Sleeping arrangements She sleeps in a crate at night — not her preference, but she tolerates it and curls up in the very back like a little crescent roll. Peggie Is Looking For A human who: Is home most of the time Loves to snuggle Doesn’t mind being used as a recliner Can manage a slow walker / stroller rider Has patience, humor, and a soft heart Doesn’t mind a tiny dog with a big personality Peggie may be small, but she’s got a gigantic heart. She’s survived a lot, and she loves hard. She’ll bond intensely with her person, follow you everywhere, adore you endlessly, and make you laugh every single day. If you’re looking for a dog who is cute, ridiculous, brave, clingy, loving, dramatic, and sweet all rolled into one…Peggie is your girl.

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.
