History: We received a plea to help an adorable litter of reported poodle mixes from an unfortunate situation. They arrived to rescue and are each so unique in their own ways. They are a bit timid at first however warm up quickly and are absolutely wonderful dogs!
A Note from the Foster: Isabel was a super shy dog whose personality blossomed when she moved into our home in mid March. It is our understanding that She spent the beginning of her life living outdoors with minimal love and human contact. She gave us a huge scare on day one when she startled (door slammed shut) and ran away as I was double leashing her. She stayed away for about 12 hours but came back on her own and walked right up to our resident dog, as if to say Hello! We were able to scoop her up and assure her that this was her new home and we were here to take good care of her. She has since settled down and made herself comfortable both in and outside of her crate. She eats well and while she had a few accidents in the beginning, she has since figured out that Outside is the place to potty. She has also discovered how to play and likes her squeaky toys and chew toys. She is still a puppy really, and needs good chew toys, otherwise she wants your fingers when snuggling.
When I think about what type of family or home environment may be ideal for Isabel. My response at this point would be just about any type of family or environment! She lives with myself, my husband and our 8 year old Golden Retriever and seems to be comfortable with both men, women and dogs, I have a feeling, due to her demeanor, that she would be good with cats too. We do not have a fenced in yard so Isabel has to be kept on a leash when we go out and she has learned to walk on it well. She pulled a lot at first but now seems to enjoy our walks. I'm sure she would love a space to run and play but she does need to be in a fenced in space. She also LOVES to snuggle and will fall asleep on our laps while watching TV at night. She is still skittish with abrupt movements or loud noises but comes around with a little coaxing. I have yet to hear her bark or yip.
Isabel deserves a loving family to care for her by feeding her, playing with her, taking her outside, and snuggling with her on the couch. She is such a sweet sweet girl who is ready to find her forever home.
Adoption Fee: $550 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
