A word about adopting a rescued dog.  Health questions: Dogs picked up as strays or turned in to shelters come with little or no health history. Every dog taken in to our rescue is seen and evaluated by a vet before being made available for adoption. All dogs are made current on vaccinations and tested for Lyme Disease and heartworms.  We are pleased to announce that we are now working with Hunt Valley Animal Hospital - www.huntvalleyanimalhospital.com - a state of the art facility with a group practice located in Hunt Valley, Maryland.  We can make no health guarantees beyond what the vet is able to find on physical examination.  We endeavor to disclose all health information that is available to adopters.  Owner-surrendered dogs come with as much health history as is available and all health history on these dogs is revealed to adopters. Fees: We ask for adoption donations on every dog we place with no exceptions.  Fees may be reduced for geriatric or special needs dogs. 100% of the fees collected for our dogs go to pay the vet bills of the dogs to help get them into loving homes.  Children: Our rule of thumb when placing rescued dogs in homes with small children is to err on the side of extreme caution.  We prefer not to place a small Poodle (Toy or Mini) in a home with small children.  We prefer not to place a Standard Poodle in a home with children under the age of 6. We will accept and review applications and can make decisions based on home visits with the child or children present. Fences : Our preference is to place a rescued dog in a home with a fully fenced yard; however our goal is to place dogs in homes. We will consider each circumstance with the best interest of the people and the dogs uppermost in mind.		Nice Small Poodles available in VA - call Jane - 757.258.9322

Several adult Standard Poodles coming soon. Watch this space for photos and more information.		No photo of Chandler available at this time. This is a generic photo of a black miniature poodle Chandler is a tall, handsome, 8 years young, black male, neutered, Miniature Poodle weighing about 17 pounds. He has been extremely well cared for his whole life by one owner who had to move and could not take him with her. I have all his medical records and he is current on all shots, etc.  He is very playful, loves to play hide and seek, does well with other dogs and kids, not sure about with cats. He is very well mannered and loves attention and a lap to snuggle in. He has been taught to sleep and eat in a crate and willingly goes into his “room” when necessary. He was diagnosed with diabetes some time ago and does beautifully with his 2 small shots each day and sits so you can give his injection to him. He never squirms or wiggles. But, as soon as you are done, he is jumping all over the place because he knows that he gets a treat immediately after the shot.  Insulin is available at WalMart for about $25 a bottle and I guesstimate one bottle will last several months because he gets such a small amount. For more information about this darling dog, please call BettyLou’s Poodle-oos at 410-479-5665.
We prefer to have applications in advance so that when we take in dogs from owners or shelters, we can place them in homes as soon as possible.  Thanks for considering Rescue!!	There are reasons for the questions on the adoption application. We really do need to know the ages of people applying to adopt. Incomplete applications will be considered after completed applications.	Click here to download adoption application. This is a Word document.
