About Saga

Saga is a small, sweet 6-year-old Poodle recently retired from breeding and eager to meet a family willing to help her adapt to home life. She thrives in the company of other dogs and will feel most comfortable in a household where a confident, gentle mentor dog can show her the ropes. Saga wasn’t socialized as a puppy and relies on her pack instincts, so patience and a calm environment will be key as she learns about living with people. She loves receiving affection and is already showing a willingness to bond and change her world—all she needs is time to trust and settle in. Saga has luxating patellas (grade 2/4 on both sides), a condition you’ll want to discuss with your vet. Adoption requirements include no children under six and applicants must be 24 or older. Saga is not yet house trained. She’s currently waiting in Hartland, WI, for a home in WI, IL, or parts of MN. Give her the future she deserves; she’s ready for her second chance. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
