Meet An Adoptable Dog

Date into Rescue: 4/18/2025

Reason for being in rescue: Breeder release

Special Needs: Blossom arrived in rescue pregnant. She's had her babies, weaned them, and has been spayed. Her babies have all found homes.  Now it's time for her forever home! Blossom is up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 08/13/25 she had a dental polishing.

What kind of home would be best for me: Blossom has always been a kennel dog. She has always lived with those of her own kind as her best friends. Blossom must have a home with another confident dog who can help show her the ropes and give her reassurance. She is looking for an adopter who understands that some dogs simply need extra time to open up and adjust to a new life.

Originally coming from a breeder/hoarding situation, the wide world is still very new to Blossom. She has had some experience living in a home, but she will need continued patience as she learns that change can be safe and positive.

Blossom would do well in most physical settings.  She could do an apartment or townhouse because she is a quiet little girl. She is sweetly compact without being tiny so a house with a yard would do well, too.  She would love a yard to play in even if it's one she gets to visit instead of on that is attached to her house. 

What is my personality like: Blossom is a black terrier mix with a very sweet heart. She is an affectionate girl who forms deep bonds with her people once she has time to feel safe and comfortable. Blossom does need patience in the beginning, as she can be shy with new people and situations. When given the time and understanding she needs, her loving personality truly shines.

Blossom is still learning household rules and how to walk on a leash, so continued training will be important as she settles in. With gentle guidance and consistency, she will continue to grow and gain confidence. The good news is that Blossom does well for grooming, which will help keep her looking and feeling her best.

Blossom is searching for a calm, stable home where life is predictable and changes are kept to a minimum. With the right environment, patience, and love, she will blossom into a wonderfully devoted companion.

How do I act when I first meet new people: Timid and shy. But also mischievous and sweet at the same time. Blossom is ready for this new life being loved and spoiled.  

Tips and Tidbits: Blossom's estimated birthday is 3/26/2023 is our best guess based on her teeth, her behavior and her eyes. We believe she has had two litters. She may have had three, but we can confirm at least two.  

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.
