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: Ivan is a very sweet boy and has been a pleasure to have as a houseguest. He is the calmest pup I have ever seen. However, he loves to run with my resident dogs in my fenced backyard. Their outside zoomies look like a game of tackle tag! He’s smart enough to keep the wrestling outside! He’s very respectful of my smaller dog, not getting too rough and giving her space when she’s grouchy. He will do best in a home with other playful dogs to help him keep opening up.
He is timid and warms up slowly but will snuggle once he trusts you. He is food motivated so those treats can help build that trust. He’s still getting used to sudden movements and loud noises, including my sneezes. Yes, they are loud. When startled he will hide in his kennel or behind my chair.
Ivan is learning the leash and doing really well. The only accidents he’s had in the house were his very first night here and when I was off schedule and didn’t pay attention to his cues. He is also a very quiet pup. I have heard only one bark from him. He is making it very difficult to not foster fail with him!
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!
