You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ginger and Skeeter are a sweet, bonded pair of middle aged, miniature poodles.  They love to spend time with their personand each other.  They love to sit with you on the couch or be by your side and would make ideal companions for a retired couple or individual who is home a lot.  They also get along with other dogs, both large and small.  They are mostly housebroken, when taken out on a regular schedule.  Skeeter may need a belly band at first until he adjusts to a new home, but wears one without a problem.  The pair sleep through the night without accidents. Ginger and Skeeter recently had a vet well exam and have a clean bill of health.  They have also had Pro-heart shots, a heartworm preventative that is good for a year.  This precious pair just wants a person or persons to call their own.  Could it be  you?   $150 adoption fee for the pair.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 2, 2025, 4:02 pm
