About Delilah

Meet Delilah! She is a striking black Standard Poodle with beautiful curls and a gentle nature just waiting to shower her affection on the right family. At around 2 years old and weighing 64 pounds, Delilah is a bit more reserved compared to her outgoing companion, Dolly. Life with new faces and strange places can make her nervous, and she’s not keen on cameras! However, spend some time with her, and you'll see a delightful transformation. A recent visit from a trusted volunteer showcased her affectionate side; she eagerly greeted him, leaning into his love and even giving him gentle hugs with her paws. Delilah arrived at our rescue alongside Dolly, whom we believe is her sister. They share a close bond and Delilah often looks to her for comfort. While we hope they can find a forever home together, it’s not a necessity. She would thrive with another friendly, confident dog in her life, whether that’s Dolly or a new furry friend. Delilah seeks a patient and understanding family who can help her settle in and build trust. Once she feels comfortable, prepare for a loyal cuddle buddy who will want to be by your side. Her heart may take a little while to win over, but we truly believe she’s worth the effort. Start the journey to bring Delilah home today!
