Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Say hello to “VINNY”, a neutered, parti Standard Poodle who comes to us from a good family that would like a loving home where Vinny would receive more time and attention than what they could give him.
This gentle, loving, easy going, quiet, cream puff Poodle boy is a healthy 73 pounds, stands at 26″ tall and just turned 8 years old (09/13/2016).
Vinny is also very much a “Velcro” Poodle who REALLY loves people, especially MEN. He will follow us around the house, loves to go for our 2-mile walks and will sit nicely in the car while going for a ride
.
If your hand is by your side or you are sitting down, he will muzzle your hand so you will pet him as he thrives for your attention.
So, did I tell you that he craves and wants attention from people? Do you see how he looks at Mike in the picture?
He also enjoys meeting new people, will play fetch with the ball (see video), likes his food and treats and is very smart. While Vinny is perfectly fine with all our other Poodles, he is NOT looking for another dog friend as he considers himself a family member.
Vinny will be a perfect companion for someone who is retired or is home most of the time. This gentle boy is also a perfect gentleman in our home (housetrained), so when we are home, he has free access to our entire house day and night. However, when we are gone, he is kenneled.
As with most Standard Poodles who have lots of heavy ear hair, Vinny was treated for an infection in his left ear. After our Vet sent a swab sample of the infection to “Zoetis Reference Laboratories”, we learned that Vinny had 3 organisms: Proteus Mirabillis, Pseudomanas Aeruginosa and Staphyloccus Pseudintermediue. Try saying those words 3 times!
Vinny’s ear was treated with a specific ear drop to cure that ear infection and help heal his ruptured ear drum. We also shaved his ear hair short to allow oxygen into his ear cannel which will help prevent ear infections (make sense?).
And we found that research shows that dog food with poultry is a problem for dogs that have chronic ear infections. So, Vinny is on a quality Salmon with Rice dog kibble.
Now Vinny’s ears have been rechecked, and his ear infection IS GONE, and his ear drum has healed! He is feeling and doing just great!
So, Vinny has been Vet checked healthy, his vaccinations and worming are up to date. His beautiful teeth have been cleaned, he has been Home Again microchipped and registered.
Yes. This is a very rare opportunity for the right family as we all know that a good Standard Poodle is hard to find. With the introduction of Doodles, sadly the Standard Poodles are becoming harder to find. Why Doodle when you can Poodle?
*A SECURLY FENCED YARD is recommended.
*You must be physically able to handle a Standard Poodle.
*Preference will be given to a quiet family with a male who likes Poodles and has past Standard Poodle experience.
BUT PLEASE:
*NO puppies or cats.
*NO aggressive or assertive dogs (they scare him and me).
*NO young children.
*Like most all rescue groups, we do NOT adopt our Poodles to homes more than 1 day’s drive (round trip) from our location here in central Minnesota.
As with all the other Standard Poodles we have adopted, Vinny’s adoption fee is 1 million, trillion, zillion dollars. However, for the right family his adoption fee is $550.00 plus $41.00 for our 7.375% Minnesota state sales tax. This fee helps to pay for just some of his vet work.
Also included is his leash, collar, a bag of quality (poultry free) dog food, a 10-gallon dog food container, treats, dog chew toys in a cute toy box, his special blanket, and a soft cozy dog bed along with lots of good information to help your Poodle adoption move forward on the right paw!
