Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature). Adoption Fee: $350. “Meet our very own Oliver Twist” Hi, my name is Oliver and much like that appealing orphan that Charles Dicken’s wrote about, I too am seeking the security of a family for my very own. I am approximately 6 years old and have recently been staying in a very busy house with 5 other furry friends. I get along great with everyone and don’t mind sharing my food, bones, or toys, and will even let you nap with me. I sleep like a log at night in my crate on this amazing donut bed and am just starting to enjoy “exploring” my surroundings. I occasionally get the zoomies when doing this whole “potty outside” thing, so you may want to keep the leash on me as I’m still working on “come” but I know that if I show you my belly, I’ll get scratches and man do I love those! I’m not an expert on leash yet and may not recognize all the commands you are saying to me but I’m a smart boy who’s willing to learn if you can be patient with me. My favorite treats are freeze-dried beef or salmon bites, and I just learned what a ball is…who knew? I like to nibble on those healthy Nyla bones or other KONG toys (dumbbells, bones, balls) I’m not fussy and enjoy a good nap on anything softy and cozy. Please give me a chance and consider making yours my furever home! ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Physically fenced in yard to keep him safe - no invisible fences. Confident and friendly resident dog to help show Oliver the ropes and boost his confidence. *All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped. Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they generally require extra time to settle in and acclimate. Skills like house training, leash walking, and mastering stairs may require a little extra practice. However, with understanding, patience, and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.

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.
