My story

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

Twilight aka Twyla

breed - poodle mix

black with some white markings / poodle coat

female

spayed

1 yr old

15 pounds

vac utd

microchipped

active / athletic

not aggressive or reactive with food or toys

very sweet, wants to cuddle once she gets to know/trust you/family

seems ok with strangers but might bark.

she can still be a bit timid when startled but not aggressive

loves other dogs

Love to play, loves her toys...will sometimes chew on inappropriate things (blankets, slippers) so needs supervision. She will chew/eat stuffies so should only have access to such toys under supervision. She is rapidly responding with training to know what she can or cannot play with.

She is crate trained. At feeding time she runs to her crate and waits to be fed. She no longer needs to be crated thru the night

Almost housetrained but could still have accidents

Is still crated when no one will be home....she will sometimes cry.

travels well in the car

does bark ... as she learns to trust the barking is becoming less ... she will respond to a gentle command to quiet

she is quickly learning sit, down commands ...such a smart girl!

Because of her puppy mill past, starting over in a new home/new family she will need time/patience/space to adapt to all the change. She will most likely express her uncertainty with a few growls

Now that she trust me I am able to handle her with no concerns. Picking her up or cleaning snow off her legs/feet are are now done without issue ... she has gotten over any fear she had associated with handling (when she first came in she was a matted mess and needed grooming; she did snap and nip our groomer)

She was a good girl at the vets.

Does stairs like a pro.

Walking on a leash with no problem other then she does tend to pull. ( Caution when out walking / she could be still a flight risk)

It's a real joy to watch her run free with the speed of a greyhound, doing her zoomies around the yard. She loves the snow.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with an online pre adoption questionnaire followed by a telephone interview
Once both have been completed we consider suitability and if we feel the adoption candidate is a potential match we arrange a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in
From there we schedule a home visit and check personal and veterinary references.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in foster homes so meet and greets are by appointment only

Foster Homes
Sadly, each new day brings a flood of emails and telephone pleas to help yet another abandoned dear dog. We try and help these displaced dogs through our rescue efforts and networking. We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found. Speaking of Dogs Rescue covers food, medical attention and all the supplies required for the dogs in foster care. Foster parents need be responsible and patient people who will provide a safe environment for our dogs. A foster contract must be signed. This is a serious responsibility; however the experience is very rewarding. If you can open your heart and home to a foster dog please contact us. We have a comprehensive Foster Manual available for people who are considering becoming a foster parent.
