Application – Carolina Poodle Rescue Here's Your Quick Peek: Bright, busy Minerva is a spark of joy - full of energy, curiosity, and always ready for her next adventure. Must have: Another playful small dog in the home under 15 lbs and under 5 years old. THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE PER HER FOSTER MOM. Minnie loves other dogs, misses her sister and wants another dog to be buddies with. Exercise: Normal amount - Minerva has not yet been introduced to leashes but with her happy go lucky nature, we think she will enjoy walks when she is old enough Best with: Our preference is someone home at least half of the day, another playful dog in the home and some experience with the breed. Poodles are amazing if you know their hearts. They can be real challenges for a home not ready for them. Not ideal for: An experienced home that knows the breed - these babies need some experience Energy level: Solid 5 so far - not crazy and not sedate. She's a normal baby Minerva is an active, playful mini poodle puppy who is always on the move and looking for something to do. She has been lovingly raised and is very comfortable being handled, held, and groomed. Minerva will flourish in an experienced home with another young, playful dog to match her energy and help channel her enthusiasm. Good with dogs: Yes - she has been raised with small and large dogs Good with kids: Minerva has never met a child, prefer no children in the home under 10 years old as she is going to be small Cats: Minerva has yet to meet a feline friend. We think she will be fine but only time will tell Fun fact: Minerva is the outgoing, adventurous one for sure but she loves to snuggle just like her sister does. Potential Adopters Dogs can’t drive - and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them.
