My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

BIG HUGS AND SPECIAL ATTENTION to “Duffy” and “Elvis”. These two “cousins” had lived their entire life with a lady who recently lost her partner and now was going to find herself homeless. Living on the streets is something we all are tragically seeing and becoming more aware of.

However, there truly are good people in this world who have stepped forward to help this lady find a new place to live and receive the help she needs. Because the owner is no longer able to care for her Poodles, Picket Fence Poodle Rescue was then contacted to help find Duffy and Elvis a new and loving family so they can also begin a new life. Thank you, Diane!

Duffy is a happy-go-lucky, gentle little red Toy Poodle who was born December 2008. He only measures 9 1/2″ tall and at 9.5 pounds, he was a bit chunky.

With small amounts of quality dog food, Duffy has now lost 1 pound! He still can not jump onto our furniture, but can jump off. He was also a bit stiff, but has now quickly learned to go up and down our steps with the Dasuquin MSM that we are giving him. He is also enjoyed running and playing with “Princess Poet” when she was here! Thank you for your donations!

While Duffy is a tiny and very quiet Poodle, you can see in the following video, he sometimes likes to talk. I’m not always sure what he wants, but I am working on interpreting his demands.

Elvis is also an extremely gentle, loving and quiet, TINY Toy Poodle. This little boy will soon be 9 years (born: 01/17/2010), is only 5 pounds and 8 1/2 inches tall. Elvis is active and extremely affectionate as he loves to be held, carried and to sit in my lap or the lap of anyone who comes into our home.

Neither one of these boys play with toys, but they will follow you all around the house watching and wondering what you are doing. We do have the AKC registration papers for Elvis.

Both of these boys have been the only dogs in a loving home all their life. They will walk on a leash but need a fenced yard. They enjoy each other’s company, but Duffy doesn’t like other dogs around (he becomes very sad) as Elvis is enough for him. Sorry, NO other dogs, pets or children.

We do have all their Veterinarian records and can clearly see they have been well cared for. Our Vet has met with them and cleaned their few remaining teeth. They have been heartworm tested negative, are up to date on their vaccinations, worming, Home Again micro chipped and registered. They are both PERFECT gentlemen in our home (house trained), very healthy and again, have been loved.

The boys are fine by themselves and it would be easier for us to adopt the boys separately. However, the owner has asked that both of her little boys be adopted as a “bonded pair” and we are honoring her request.

To the right family, these two easy going little boys only have a $350.00 adoption fee which includes our $25.00 Minnesota state sales tax. Also included is a kennel for each boy, 2 bags of dog food, various treats, their blankets, toys, leash, collars and bag full of their “wardrobe” which consists of various coats and costumes. Please contact us if you have any questions.
