Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature). Adoption Fee: $350. "Meet our very own Shotgun Willie!" This gentle "little" giant has a heart of gold and is known for his calm and serene demeanor. While he enjoys spending time outside in the garden, he takes extra care, ensuring he sniffs every weed, and sometimes twice. Willie is a great listener and is learning so many new words like come, sit, stay, and outside. When he's not busy napping after exploring his new world or expanding his vocabulary, as a "Toothless dog" you can find him gumming a soft chew toy (Kong, Frisco, Nylabone), or enjoying a healthy snack at the Lick Mat or Woof Party Pupsicle smeared or filled with plain Greek yogurt and canned pumpkin, or dog friendly peanut butter and plain, unsweetened applesauce (...simply scrumptious). He'd have you know that he's the most laid-back, easy-going dog on the entire planet and is the perfect blend of independence and loyalty, making him a wonderful companion for just about any family! ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Physically fenced in yard to keep him safe. Willie would do best with a resident dog to help boost his confidence and show him the ropes. *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.
