Story
Twilight (aka Twyla) is a very sweet, cuddly, and athletic 15lb poodle mix who is about 1 year old. She had a rough start in a puppy mill, but she is learning to put her past behind her and is thriving in her foster home. Once you earn her trust, this girl is a tail wagging, toy loving, zoom around the snowy backyard bundle of joy. She has been groomed to look like the princess she is, and although originally nippy and snappy with the groomer, she has overcome her fear of handling, and is easily picked up, and has been good at the vet. She enjoys training and is working hard on her sit and down. When playing, or looking for chewing options, she has on occasion, mistaken blankets and slippers for chew toys. When given plush toys she has been known to "de-stuff them". With gentle guidance and redirection, this smart pup is learning what she can and can’t chew. Supervision will be essential until she understands she can’t eat the toys. Due to her timid nature, she may bark or occasionally growl when unsure of things, but as she learns to trust and meet new people, the barking eases and she is warms quickly. Once the trust is there, the love flows. She travels well in the car. Twilight is crate trained and has mealtimes inside of it. She no longer needs the crate at night, and prefers to sleep on her bed, but is crated during the day if no one is home. She will bark and sometimes cry, so her ideal house would have people home most of the day. Housetraining is coming along well, although she still might have the odd accident. Twilight will require a family with some dog experience, time, and patience to help her trust and adapt to all the changes that are happening. She would be fine with another adult dog in the house, as she has not shown any aggressive or reactive tendencies to other dogs, food, or toys. Due to her barking and being a possible flight risk, she needs a securely fenced backyard and would not be suited to apartment or condo living. This darling puppy has so much love to give to the family that is lucky enough to adopt her. She has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccines.December 19, 2024, 10:27 am
