MOE - POODLE (STANDARD) (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) (medium coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Moe is a handsome Standard Poodle with a gentle soul and the sweetest, most easygoing personality. He is truly a dream companion who loves nothing more than being with his people. Whether he’s relaxing on the couch soaking up pets, playing with friends at the dog park, joining you for a walk, or curling up beside you at bedtime, Moe is happiest when he’s part of the action. Moe is an absolute love bug who genuinely wants to make his people happy. He forms strong bonds with his family and has the kind of loyal, affectionate nature that makes him feel like he’s always been yours. He loves squeaky balls, chewing on bones, enrichment activities, car rides, and spending time with the people and animals he loves. Moe is wonderfully well-mannered in many ways. He is fully potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, rides beautifully in the car, and knows several commands including sit, come, down, shake, outside, potty, and even car ride. If you’re heading out for an adventure, Moe would be thrilled to tag along. He enjoys riding with his people and is content relaxing in the car while waiting for them. Moe gets along beautifully with people, other dogs, and even cats. While he enjoys canine companionship, he does not require another dog in his future home as long as his people are around most of the time. He can occasionally be protective of toys around other dogs, but overall he is social, friendly, and loves having friends to play with. Moe is comfortable being crated when needed, though he would much rather be with his family. One area where he will need continued support is his separation anxiety. Moe has a fear of being left behind and may bark or pace when left alone. His foster family has begun working on building his confidence, but his future family should be prepared to continue helping him learn that being alone is safe. Because of this, he would thrive in a home where someone is home much of the time or where he can accompany his people on many of their adventures. Moe has also experienced some mild tummy sensitivity and is currently doing well on a gentle diet. His future family should simply be mindful of maintaining a diet that agrees with him. Moe is the kind of dog who will fill your days with companionship, laughter, and unconditional love. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who wants nothing more than to be by your side through life’s adventures, Moe may be the perfect match for you. 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.
