Story
We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving end of Feb/beginning of March 2025 to PA. Surrounding states will be added to our route if needed ☺️ We would love to add Alexander to our trip for the right home 💙 Meet Alexander! He is a purebred, red colored, 6 month old Standard Poodle. He weighs 33 lbs and is at a very healthy weight. He is estimated to be between 50-60 lbs full grown 💙 He is current on all vaccines, and has received every puppy vaccine. At the time of his exam on 12/3/24 he will receive his 1 year da2pp, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines as well! He had a fecal test sent in to the lab and has been dewormed through our vet based on those results. He will also be microchipped, will go home with a health certificate, and will be completely cleared by our vet prior to adoption ☺️ No, he isn't neutered, as he is much to young and it's best for his growth plates to fully close prior to sterilization so he will be going home with a neuter contract ♥️ He is crate trained, and sleeps in his crate at night or to nap in during the day which he doesn't mind one bit. He hangs out in our home throughout the day, and loves to be a part of all we do whether we are just hanging out, watching tv, cooking dinner (he is always praying something falls his way 😂,) or working on the computer. He loves his toys and will quietly lounge by entertaining himself while his humans tend to their responsibilities. Leash training is going really well, and he is learning to love his walks. He really enjoys investigating everything he can, so it makes walks very enjoyable for him and us because he really tries not to miss a thing (or human 🙂) which encourages us to engage with just about everyone and everything he can convince us to stop for so expect to meet a few new friends along the way because Alexander will definitely make sure of it if you allow him to lead the way 🥰 He is house trained, and will go outside to use the restroom throughout the day when asked to. He doesn't have any accidents in the house, or in his crate so as long as you have a good scheduled routine in your home for him he will continue to thrive! He loves to play outdoors, and while he really enjoys lounging poolside, playing with one of his fave outdoor toys, or just simply sunbathing he will drop it all the moment you come out to enjoy the day with him because pets from his human is the most enjoyable part of his day. He loves to be loved so if you are looking for a sweet boy whose eyes light up the second he knows he gets to hang with you then he is YOUR guy 💙 He is wonderful with all dogs and cats alike! He has a sweet soul, and a kind heart. He is calm, and beautifully natured and simply believes he was placed on earth to becomes everyone's friend!! He is not high energy, and has a beautiful on and off switch so don't allow his age to be a deciding factor as he truly is easy to please ☺️ He LOVES road trips of any length, and will happily go for a ride with you. He lounges in the back seat just happy to be a part of your activities outside of the home. He LOVES our groomer, and does phenomenal during his spa days. He is just an all around easy going, laid back, lovely boy 💕 He came in with his sister (her name is Anastasia and yes, she is available for adoption too so make sure to look out for her adoption listing as she is equally wonderful ❤ ️) from a family who bought both from their breeder when they were 8 weeks old. They decided on two of them so they could keep one another company as they grew up. Unfortunately they realized with their work schedules, and extensive traveling that having two young pups wasn't the best decision they made, and admitted they didn't think it through the way they should have so they reached out to us to take them in and find them the homes they deserve. No, they do not need to be adopted together (unless you are looking for two of course ☺️.) They are very independently confident outside of one another so we are certain they will thrive separately ❤️ Adoption fee is on our website under his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/alexander It covers his vet costs, care associated with the time he has been with us, his grooming costs, and his training we have personally done with him. Travel costs are in addition to his adoption fee if we are transporting him to you pending where you are located. (Which we will happily do for the right family!)

Story
We have a transport to the east coast where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving in the beginning of March 2025. Surrounding states will be added to our route if needed ☺️ We would love to add Max to our trip for the right home 💙 Meet Max 💙 He is a 1 year old Poodle/Maltese. He is set to be neutered on 12/17/24 and will officially be available for adoption soon after. He will be current on all vaccines, microchipped, thourely examined, and cleared by our vet prior to adoption. I don't have his weight but I'll update it here as soon as I do. He is crate trained, and currently sleeps in his crate at night to sleep or to nap during the day. He is very well behaved so if you were wanting to have him on a dog bed aside yours in your room in place of a crate I'm certain he will do wonderful with the change. He is house trained, and goes out to use the restroom when needed throughout the day. He does very well with a schedule, and will happily go out when asked to if he needs to 😊 He is doing okay on leash, he isn't bad on it just still learning confidence in the world. He is the sweetest boy ever, just a a bit shy! I'm confident in his ability to learn that leash time is a happy time and one worth getting excited about! He is wonderful with other dogs and cats alike and has a very docile, submissive demeanor. He would do wonderful having another animal friend in his home that was equally tempered 💙 He is NOT a barker. He is quiet, and calm. Don't let his age deter you, as he has an old soul and would make any home complete in a way only he could! He is a total charmer. Loves to be snuggled. Is very independent and will lounge around while you tend to your day waiting patiently for you to clear your time for him ☺️ He is wonderful on road trips around town, and is just always happy to be included in life's ventures. He does very well with our groomer, and has learned the comfort of a good spa day so we welcomes them every time with a wagging tail 💕 His prior owners were a young family that had never owned a dog before and thought they could juggle work, family, and a dog but they realized he was getting less and less attention and knew it wasn't fair to him whatsoever being on the back burner to their lives and wanted him to have more, like he deserved to have so they reached out to us here to take him in and find him a wonderful new home and humans to love ❤️ If you are in search of a sweet friend who will love you with every fiber of his heart, I assure you that you'll be grateful for the love Max has to give you💕 His adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/__max It covers his vet costs, the care associated in the time he has been here with us, his grooming costs, and the training we have personally done with him 💙

Story
We have a transport to the east coast where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving the beginning of March 2025.Surrounding states will be added to our route if needed ☺️ We would love to add Mitzi to our trip for the right home 😊 Meet Mitzi! She is a purebred yorkie. She weighs 7.3 lbs. Yes, she is full grown and at a very healthy weight. She turns 3 on 12/22/24. She is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped, had a dental cleaning done at time of her spay, and had a thourel exam with our vet who has cleared her to find a home all her own ❤️ Mitzi is crate trained, and will happily sleep in a crate at night in her bed. Now if given the opportunity to sleep in bed with her person, that's where she will be so if you are looking for a snuggle partner at night she will happily be that girl. If you want to continue to have her sleep in her crates she will be fine with that as well, so the ball in definitely in your court 😊 She is house trained, and will go outside to use the restroom when needed throughout the day. She has NO problem running into the yard and finding a good spot to potty. We always watch her because of the wildlife we have here, and she is much to small to be left out alone. She LOVES her walks, and will happily stroll around the neighborhood or town with you. Going out to dinner and want to take your little Angel girl with you? She would be honored especially if you order a few extra veggies on the side for her to enjoy 😉 She is a foodie at heart and loves her carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, apples, watermelon, strawberries, and bananas 😋 She is wonderful with other dogs and cats alike. She does enjoy being the princess in our home though so if you are looking for a little one to spoil with all of your love and time then she would never even for a second complain and will allow the pampering to begin at your hearts desire 😍 If you do have another sweet dog, or cat in your home she would be just fine with that too, and would come in loving them just the same, but with stipulations in order that she does require some level of pampering and they will need to be okay with her occasional time with her humans as she truly values that time😊 She is wonderful in the home, and has great house manners. She is NOT a barker at all, and may or may not alert you of unfamiliar sounds as it depends if it's interfering with her midday nap because we all know a princess needs their beauty rest 😉 She is free spirited and while she loves to be with her person, she is also very independent and will go about her day doing as she pleases whatever that may entail. She is a wonderful companion, and one that you will forever be grateful saying yes to! She will add a lot of love, joy, laughter, and friendship to your life and home from the moment she becomes a part of it as it'll seem as if she has always been a part of it ❤️ She is wonderful on road trips around town, or long distance as we have been on a 3 hour road trip with her and she did phenomenal, and was happy just to be a part of what we were doing 😊 She loves her spa dates with our our groomer and is always happy to see her so having a groomer that will also build a relationship with Mizi moving forward will be ideal for her enjoyment because she understands and appreciates the friendships she makes along the way and always remembers our groomer ❤️ Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/mitzi It covers her spay, vaccines, microchip/registration, her dental cleaning (her teeth were in overall great health, and just needed a good polish and clean,) her antibiotic shot given to aid in the healing of her spay and dental, her exam with our vet (which went perfectly,) and as always it also contributes towards the care involved in the time she has been here with us, her grooming costs, and her training ❤️

Story
Playful, personable, & precious! Psst! Hey, you—yes, you! I can tell you’re looking for an affectionate 4-legged friend who will fill your heart and home with love. Allow me to introduce myself… My name is Layla, and I’m an enthusiastic, playful pup who gets along great with people of all ages. I also do well with most dogs, and best with male dogs, but I can get excitable from time to time. Being your only pup might be ideal, as I’d receive your undivided attention! Rest assured I’d give you mine in return. While I enjoy a nice cuddle, I’m by no means a couch potato—in fact, quite the contrary. At 2 years old, I’m pretty darn active and fit, if I say so myself. My agility is nothing to sneeze at, so it’s probably a good idea for your fence to be at least 6 feet high. I love to play (whether it’s with toys, other dogs, or people), so I hope you aren’t one of those “all work and no play” types! The truth is, I’m tired of this life and ready for a permanent family. More than ready. I have so much to give to the right family, but I can’t take the next step. That, my friend, is up to you.

Story
Talk about a girlboss! If you’re looking for an overly affectionate, whimsical lap dog, this is NOT the one for you. On the other hand, if you’re searching for a loving-within-reason, loyal-as-anything, work-hard, play-hard pup, you’ve found her! Junette started out as a stray. Fortunately, she was taken in by a rescue and then welcomed into a foster home, along with a few other dogs. She gets along great with everyone in the house—whether they have 2 legs or 4! That includes kids, with whom she does great. Perhaps one of the reasons she gets along so well with everyone is her flexibility and adaptability when it comes to activities. Junette can be very playful, but if you want to chill, she’s happy to oblige. Another of this girl’s terrific attributes is loyalty, which is off the charts! When we said she’s a girlboss, we meant it. Think Lady Gaga. She has so much to offer, and she does so with a somewhat serious delivery. Junette will dedicate herself to being your best friend, always sitting by your side like the girlboss she is. In addition to her attractive personality, have you seen those eyes?! Gorgeous! With 1 brown eye and 1 blue, you’ll have the pleasure of staring into such a uniquely beautiful face every day. At 4 years old, she’ll likely remain close to the 50 lbs she currently weighs…just the right size to wrap your arms around and cuddle. Junette has so much to give a forever family, and she’s ready to do her part. Are you?
