Cotton is a beautiful calm sweet white female Standard Poodle weighing about 50 lbs. She is very devoted and makes a great companion as she follows your every move. She wants to be a part of all your activities and be next to you wherever life takes you. COTTON likes people, kids, and is dog-friendly. COTTON would love to be the center of your universe and will adore you! Cotton loves toys and playing fetch, so please lots of squishy toys! COTTON enjoys frequent walks and has excellent leash manners. She has excellent recall; she sits nicely and aims to please. She is house-trained and loves to run, romp, and do zoomies in her fenced yard. Some of her skills include a master counter surfer typical of the breed. She is skilled at opening doors, drawers, and lower cabinets scavenging for food when you leave. She loves trash if you leave it accessible when you leave. She does not ruin anything in your home or chew anything – except food, and she will happily to eat anything you feed her. COTTON is well mannered, has mastered basic obedience, and is a very happy girl just waiting for that special person(s) to come along to complete her life. She would prefer not to be left at home much and hopes that you are retired or work from home. COTTON loves to go places, ride in the car, and hang out with you wherever you go. Take her to dinner, take her shopping, take her in your RV, just take her! She will happily snuggle with you at night, and lay her head on your chest waiting for an ear rub. She loves car rides and is great on long trips. In her foster home, we are not crating her, however she has a crate with an open door she frequently snoozes in. We don’t not crate her when we leave because she does not like that and barks non-stop if we leave her crated. She does fine when you are gone, provided you leave her within an area with no access to food & trash and another dog to comfort her. COTTON is well socialized, and well-mannered in social situations. She will bark at intruders and let you know if some is at your door! Once reassured, she welcomes guests, human and dogs, with open arms to your home. She is the perfect 10+. COTTON came to VIP Rescue from a lady who found her aimlessly walking down a dirt road at 30 lbs. back in January. We have looked for her owner with no success. She was in rough shape, sick, and severely neglected. After not finding her owner, she was brought to VIP Rescue. She has had bilateral entropion surgery, a dental, has been spayed, and allergy tested. She is now ready to find her perfect home! She has been an outstanding houseguest at her foster home and frolicks with the other poodles here. COTTON is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped. She likes walks 2-3 times a day and playing in the fenced yard. She requires frequent brushing and monthly grooming which costs $150-$200. She is fed prescription food and a home cooked diet as she had GI issues. We have figured out her diet and she no longer experiences GI issues if you follow the protocol of food and supplements – we will explain. She has been to an array of veterinarians and specialists at UF Small Animal Hospital for her recovery. Preference will be given to those adopters with Standard Poodle experience. COTTON can offer you her unconditional love, loyalty, and affection. She is a great dog, and someone is going to hit the jackpot with this amazingly well-adjusted attentive girl! You must have a 6-foot fence to adopt Cotton, as she loves to chase anything that moves outside. We have not had her cat tested, but to be safe a cat is probably not a good idea.
