Meet Marshmallow, the adorable standard poodle puppy born on September 15, 2024! 🎉 This little guy is as fluffy as his name suggests, and while he may start off a bit shy, he's bursting with spirit and charm. 🌟 Marshmallow has a unique story; born in a commercial breeding facility, he didn’t have the same puppy experiences you might imagine. But now that he's surrounded by love and care, he's learning to trust and is genuinely adjusting beautifully! All he needs is a patient, loving family to help him bloom. 🌸 Marshmallow is searching for a home with a secure, fenced-in yard—no apartments or condos for this playful pup! 🏠 He thrives in environments with canine buddies who can show him the ropes. A respectful adult dog will be his guiding light, helping him learn that humans can be just as wonderful as his fellow furry friends. 🐕 This little ball of fluff will need the usual puppy training including daily potty breaks, socialization, and basic commands, all while developing a deep bond with his forever family. 🏃‍♂️ Training isn't just about obedience; it's a chance for a magical connection between puppy and person! With his vaccines up to date, neutered, and microchipped, Marshmallow is all set for adoption—his new family will just be responsible for any subsequent vaccinations. 💉 His adoption donation is $800, and remember, dogs are a commitment for life (20+ years!), so he wants to find a family ready to embrace him through thick and thin! If you're considering bringing a puppy into your life—especially one under 12 months like Marshmallow—you should have a flexible work schedule or someone at home to provide the care he needs. Puppies require a lot of attention and frequent potty breaks. 🕒 If your life is busy or uncertain right now, a puppy might not be the right fit for you. Marshmallow and his future family would be perfect if you're located in the Chicago metro area and ready for a home visit. 🔍 To apply and change this sweet boy’s life, please make sure to fill out an application for adoption through the Buddy App! Remember, patience and love are the keys to unlocking this fluffy puppy's heart! 🥰 Rescue Tails Animal Welfare is a dedicated, foster-based team—no brick and mortar buildings here. All inquiries can be directed through the Buddy App, ensuring that the focus remains on helping adorable animals like Marshmallow find homes. 🎈
