My Story

Date into Rescue: 12/20/2023

Reason for being in rescue: born into CPR rescue

Special Needs: Georgia is spayed and up to date on vaccines for her age. Georgia is a growing puppy that is crate trained. Georgia's mom Daisey is a standard poodle. Dad is a man of mystery but one of her siblings had DNA done and we now know Georgia is truly a mixed breed doodle - a little shepherd, a little herding dog, a little of a few other things. She is a true doodle mix. She is not hypoallergenic and will shed.  Georgia had some muscle weakness and we took her to the vet.  We're not sure if it was simply growing pains but her shoulder for a while behaved like one that was going to be compromised.  Whatever was going on, it has resolved and she is now cleared for adoption.  She is also prone to upper respiratory infections which we think may be environmental.  She needs a more suburban environment than a farm.  Sidewalks, here she comes!

What kind of home would be best for me: Georgia was the most independent and the leader of her siblings.  She is confident and carefree and while she loves to romp and play with her friends, a home that has a committed owner ready to socialize and spend time with her, and with a firm plan for socialization for their new pup would be our goal. Georgia could be an only dog if you had plans for weekly socialization.  This plan should include a minimum of 2 times per week with other dogs for a minimum of 1 hour per session.  It could be play dates, doggie day care, etc.  But time off leash to run, romp and roll with other dogs is essential.   Keeping her as an only dog and away from other dogs would be detrimental to her mental and emotional growth. She needs to be around her own kind.  While she is more people focused, both her brain and her body need the workout only another dog can give her. 

Georgia is looking for a home that will take her inate intelligence and mold it.  She will be easy to train because she is so intelligent.  If you don't teach her, that can turn into a negative very quickly. She needs to learn, to be taught, to be shaped and molded.

Georgia has never lived with cats. I am not quite sure what she would do with one.  She is very good with small dogs. 

Doodlles are active, agile little dogs that need homes that are ready to tire them out both mentally and physically, so a fenced in yard will be required. Doodles are very well rounded dogs, they do not meet strangers and would do well with a nice big family or a single owner! What matters most to a doodle is a happy and excited owner ready to take on loving and training their new bff!

What is my personality like: Georgia - the leader of the pack.  As the pups are growing and personalities are emerging, it's obvious that Georgia is the "one to watch" in the success department.  There is one good word to describe Georgia - confident.  She's ready for a party at all times, and acts like she already knows the way of the world. She doesn't but she sure wants to. 

Georgia learns everything quickly.  Show her once and she's ready to do it.  She is learning to sit and to walk on a leash.  She is clean in her crate and sleeps well from 10:30 pm to 7:30 am.  She is curious and inquisitive about all.  She likes other dogs both large and small as long as she is not in the pack.  When she is with her siblings, she is the one they follow and sometimes she leads them where they should not go!  It's tough being a leader in your first supervisory role.  Running the fence line after the horses is not the skill set I wanted her to learn or teach (sigh).  

Georgia was the first one out of the whelping box!  

Georgia loves one treat unconditionally - milk bones

Georgia's mom Daisey is wonderfully gentle and sweet and is also very much a leader.  Georgia takes after her mom for sure.  Daisey has already been adopted.  

How do I act when I first meet new people: Friendly

Tips and Tidbits: Georgia was born into rescue on 12/20/2023.  We do NOT think she is hypoallergenic even though she is 60% poodle. Her adult coat is still coming in so it's hard to tell but I believe she will be a light shedder. 

House trained: Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.

Potential Adopters

Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.

Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. When screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
