History: We received a plea to help a group of male adult dogs from a local hoarding situation. It broke our hearts to see the condition the homeowner and dogs were living in. The dogs were welcomed to a temporary housing situation by a local rescuer when the homeowner was hospitalized. Unfortunately, the homeowner passed away days later. It is a heartbreaking situation and we promise to give these boys fulfilling and loving lives. They are working on their trust and confidence and doing better each day!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Milton the adorable mini poodle!! He's about 7 years old, and just a shy little fella learning all about the love humans can offer.
Milton is a very easy keeper. He's a calm boy who's quiet as a mouse. He enjoys following his person around from a safe distance. He likes to be near, but not too near:) He has not found joy in cuddling quite yet, but he has learned to love a cozy dog bed or a soft blankie.
Milton loves all of his dog friends, big or small. He looks to them to learn, and finds comfort in their companionship. He will need another doggie (or kitty?) friend in the home to give him that sense of safety and security.
Milton is still quite scared and shy, so he'll need an adopter willing to go nice and slow, and to love him for who he is. He has been lost one time, so we are extra vigilant when it comes to his safety. Because he is leery of humans, he is extremely hard to catch. Milton has started an anti anxiety medication which seems to be helping him relax and boost his confidence!
Now onto all the good stuff about this little cutie!! Milton is fully potty trained! He sleeps in his kennel next to his humans bed without issue. He likes his kennel less during the day - someone home a lot would be a bonus. Milton walks really nicely on a leash! He can trot around the block like a champ. Milton loves waking up and playing with his doggie friends in the morning! He thinks it's a party every day when he goes downstairs and everyone's still there - it's his happiest time of day! Milton loves mealtime and knows right where to go when it's his turn. He eats well and gives some little hops and wags to show you he's happy:)
Milton is super deserving of a forever family who will love him endlessly!
Adoption Fee: $510 + 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!
