They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Are you searching for your next furry best friend? Ru Mar may be the one to capture your heart. While she may not be the 'perfect' dog, Ru is certainly perfect for the right adopter who understands her needs. She is a small Poodle who started life as a breeder release and spent her early years outside in a pen, so she is still learning what it means to be a cherished pet. Ru is nervous and skittish, taking her time to warm up, but she is most comfortable around other dogs. Having another confident canine companion at home is a must, as well as a securely fenced yard for her safety—Ru will run if startled. An experienced adopter, who has patience and understands nervous rescue dogs, is essential to help Ru feel safe and to guide her as she learns about life indoors. At present, Ru is very mellow, but this might be due to fear, as her canine friends are quite playful and she may blossom into a playful companion herself over time. She thrives in calm, gentle environments with consistent routines and a slow approach, and would not do well in busy homes or with young children. While Ru is sweet, building her trust takes time and commitment. She will need training and a steady hand to help her grow into the beloved pet she is meant to be. Ru loves a cozy bed and a soft blanket—don’t forget to bring one along when you come to meet her! Please remember, you’ll need to travel to Carolina Poodle Rescue for your meet and greet. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
