About Amelie

Meet Amelie, the delightful Miniature Poodle ready to steal your heart. Estimated to be about 11 years young, she embodies the spirit of a playful pup while being the perfect lap dog at just 9 lbs. Amelie thrives on cuddles, curling up like a tiny croissant on your lap or chair, making her an ideal companion. Though she enjoys her quiet time, she lights up at the sight of her leash and loves outdoor adventures. In her foster home, Amelie gets along well with two other dogs but prefers to have her human’s undivided attention, making her well-suited for a home as the only pet. While she may initially be cautious around new people, a slow approach gets her in your lap within minutes. Fully potty trained, Amelie can hold it for up to 8 hours and is comfortable with both crate time and free roaming—just watch out for any tempting items lying around! She's great on leash and a wonderful travel companion. Amelie does have some medical needs, including pulmonary hypertension and a chronic cough, requiring daily medications and regular vet visits. This lovely girl would thrive best in a home with someone retired or who works from home, as she loves to be close to her people. Considering adopting a companion with a big heart? Apply to meet Amelie!
