Cotton is a beautiful calm sweet white female Standard Poodle weighing 63lbs. 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 and cat friendly. COTTON would love to be the center of your universe and will adore you! Cotton loves fluffy beds, lots of toys, and playing fetch! 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 which is typical of the breed, she is skilled at opening doors, drawers, and cabinets when you leave so you have to be smarter than a poodle! She does not damage anything in your home or chew anything – except food, and she will happily eat anything. 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 would like to have another dog friend in her new home to romp, play, and do zoomies with her. 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 a belly and ear rubs. 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. 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 or in your yard! Once reassured, she welcomes guests, humans and dogs with open arms to your home. Those who meet Cotton say, 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. We have looked for her owner with no success. She was in rough shape, sickly, and neglected upon arrival. 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 there. 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 $100-$200. She is fed prescription food and a home cooked diet as she has GI sensitivities. We have figured out her diet and she no longer experiences GI issues provided you follow the protocol of food and supplements – we will explain. Cotton 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 fenced yard to adopt Cotton, as she loves to chase anything that moves outside. She has been around cats, she is curious, but she has not chased or pursued cats. COTTON is located in FERNANDINA BEACH, FL. You must travel to FERNANDINA BEACH to meet COTTON and bring any other pets and residents you have for the meeting.
