Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Poodle (Standard) (long coat). **Please take a moment to read the bio in full before reaching out—this helps us respond quickly and efficiently.** Meet Opal! Breed: moyen poodle. Age: est 4 years. Weight: approx 27.8lbs. She needs to gain a few pounds. Training: crate trained, we are working on house and leash training. She will need continued training as she hasn't had many life experiences. Good with other dogs/cats? Yes. She loves other dogs and is fine with cats. Good with adults/kids? Opal is reserved/timid with new people, but she does fine with everyone. Personality: reserved/shy. Opal spent the first 4 years of her life with a breeder. She has had a sheltered life until her rescue. She has come so far, but will need continued guidance and socialization to help her become the wonderful companion we know she can be! Opal has never known life without another dog around, and we feel she needs a confident canine companion to teach her how to be a pet. She also needs a fenced yard. Reason for rescue: breeder release, retiring. Opal is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations and preventatives. If interested in adding this sweet baby to your family, please message for an adoption application! Adoption fee: $350. Please note: With limited foster homes and many dogs waiting for rescue, we are unable to place dogs on hold. Approved adopters must be ready to move forward. We welcome out-of-state adopters but do not offer transport, and an in-person meet and greet before adoption at the foster’s home is required. Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescue pet!

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.
