My story

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

Poor, young Dolly has found herself in a pickle! Her mommy moved away and couldn't take her along. The good news is, instead of dumping her in the woods or taking her to a kill-shelter, Dolly's mommy contacted SPCHS and asked for help -- of course, we said "yes"!

Dolly just arrived in her foster home a couple of days ago, so we don't know much about her personality yet, and will update here as soon as we know more. She's not been spayed yet, but will be soon, and we are working on getting her vet records to find out when her shots are due. We'll also make sure she is tested for heart worms and tick-borne diseases (and treated if positive) prior to adoption.

Since we don't know much about this girl yet, here's what we can tell you about this breed:
A one-year-old Standard Poodle will typically exhibit traits like high intelligence, a friendly and playful personality, a strong desire to please, high energy levels, a need for regular exercise and mental stimulation, and is usually considered highly trainable due to their eagerness to learn; they may still be somewhat exuberant and require continued socialization to fully mature in their temperament. Poodles also require regular grooming!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The application process....

After you complete an application, there are several things that we will do:

1. We will check your personal references. Please be sure to list two personal references and include a phone number and an email address. (form asks for one; but I like two)
2. If you do not own your place of residence, we will call your landlord or leasing office. Please check with them first to learn about their pet policy.
3. We will call your veterinarian for a reference. We are looking for a history of annual exams, vaccines maintained routinely, annual heartworm tests and monthly preventatives. We require the following:

* All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered.
* If your pet is not up to date on vaccines, please do not submit the application until you have scheduled an appointment with the vet to get your pets current on their vaccines.

4. If you are a 1st-time pet owner, please include the name and phone number of the veterinarian you plan to use.
5. Be sure to call your Vet(s), giving them permission to speak with us.
6. We may need to do a home visit prior to approving your application, or post-adoption.

If these policies and practices are not acceptable, please do not apply.
