About Bahama

Bahama is an 11-and-a-half-year-old small Poodle who recently found herself back at the rescue after her previous owner could no longer care for her. She craves a gentle, quiet environment where she can settle in and feel safe during her golden years. Bahama forms deep connections with her people and prefers to be the only dog—she wants all the attention for herself and, frankly, she’ll repay it with everything she’s got. She is house trained, walks nicely on leash, and has even mastered the dog door. Bahama’s a sensitive soul and needs some patience to blossom, especially around new faces or uncertainty. She can get anxious during storms or fireworks, so a steady companion and a calm household will make a big difference for her. While she’s not a lap dog, Bahama will happily hang out by your side, perfectly content simply being near. Fun fact: Bahama’s birthday makes her a Capricorn, so it's no surprise she appreciates structure and calm. Ready to start a new chapter with Bahama? Every animal deserves a happy ending.
