History: Dot is an adorable little curly-q! She needed a second chance and an escape out of the commercial breeding world. She is a bit timid and shy at first but warms up quickly with some patience. She has underwent heartworm treatment and is officially ready to find a forever home of her very own soon!

A note from the foster: Meet Dot (aka Dottie) – A Sweet Miniature Poodle with a Heart of Gold

Dot, lovingly called Dottie, is a 6-year-old miniature poodle who’s been patiently waiting over a year for her forever home. She came to rescue as a breeder release with multiple medical issues, including heartworm and severe dental disease. She’s now fully treated, and although she had to have all of her teeth removed, she eats just fine and never turns down her favorite soft treats.

Dottie is calm and independent, happiest when she’s relaxing in a cozy recliner or trotting around a safely fenced yard. While she’s not a lapdog, she loves affection on her own terms and adores belly rubs. She’s also surprisingly playful — her favorite game is fetch with a small squeaky ball, and she delights in squeaky toys of all kinds.

Though she’s not fully potty trained, she’s doing well on a regular schedule with frequent trips outside. She gets along with other dogs but doesn’t need another in the home — she’s just as happy being your one and only or sharing space with calm companions.

Dottie is looking for a peaceful, patient home where she can enjoy her golden years with freedom, kindness, and a few squeaky toys by her side. After everything she’s been through, she’s more than ready to be loved.

She absolutely loves wearing sweaters when the weather is cool. 

Have you been looking for Dottie… she is waiting for you! 💕

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!
