Meet An Adoptable Dog

Date into Rescue: 09/08/2025

Reason for being in rescue: Breeder surrender

Special Needs: Bullet is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 09/18/25 he had a dental with 5 extractions. Our veterinarian has recommended annual dental exams for Bullet.

What kind of home would be best for me: Bullet has never known life as a companion. He is accustomed to dogs (lots of them) and routine. You will teach him what being a pet means. The good news - Bullet is a happy dog that is eager to learn. His forever home is with a family that can offer him consistency and routine. A family that understands he has never lived in a home and is not house trained but is trying. A family that has another dog is non-negotiable. Bullet has never known life without canine companions. A family with an abundance of patience to go the distance with this special boy. Ideally, a family that has rescued before.

What is my personality like: Meet Bullet, a toy poodle with a tender heart and a gentle spirit. Despite his name, Bullet isn’t one to rush into things—he prefers to take life at his own pace. With a timid nature, it takes him some time to build trust, but once he knows you’re his person, his love runs deep and true. He’s the kind of dog who loves hard, just not fast. Think of it as a slow-burn romance, where patience and kindness blossom into a lifelong bond.

Bullet feels most confident when he’s with another dog. His puppy friends bring him comfort and joy, and he trusts them much more quickly than people. Because of this, another small dog in the home is a must—a canine companion will help Bullet settle in and remind him that the world isn’t such a scary place after all.

When it comes to people, Bullet needs a gentle hand and a calm environment. He would do best in a home with older children (10–12+), as sudden movements, grabbing, or overwhelming affection can make him nervous. He’s still learning that love can be physical—pets, cuddles, and scratches are all things he’ll come to enjoy with time, space, and reassurance.

Playtime, however, comes naturally! Bullet loves running and wrestling with his doggy pals, showing off his playful side in bursts of joy. When he’s not romping around, you’ll often find him watching you from a safe distance, quietly taking it all in as he learns to trust more each day.

Since Bullet is a breeder release, many things will be new to him. Leash skills, house manners, and daily routines are all areas where he’ll need patience and training. The good news - Bullet is smart, eager to please, and a quick learner—he’ll pick things up faster than you might expect once he feels secure.

Bullet is searching for a loving home that understands the beauty of patience. With the right family by his side—and a canine buddy to show him the ropes—he will grow into the loyal, affectionate, and joyful companion he’s meant to be.

How do I act when I first meet new people: With a timid nature, it takes Bullet some time to build trust, but once he knows you’re his person, his love runs deep and true.

Tips and Tidbits: Bullet's birthday is 02/21/2020

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.

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.
