Millie
and Jo
were surrendered together by a family who could no longer care for them.
Both of them are white poodles: Millie is a miniature and Jo
somewhere between a miniature and a toy. Millie is about 5 and Jo
about 3. They had been staying in a shed with a small fenced area
for exercise and had not seen a vet for over a year. They were
recently adopted together by a family who had been looking to provide a
home for dogs in need. Millie and Jo have settled in beautifully
and set a new routine for the family. As the son of the family says:
‘We love these little guys!’
Millie
has an old injury to her rear right leg that required regular exercise,
although she prefers to recline on the sofa and observe regally.
But she enjoys her walks and is a great sniffer, and moves along quite
comfortably and quickly, resorting to three legs when the going gets a
bit tough. Jo is much more inclined to play and looks for toys and
opportunities to engage others in a game. He is a real drama queen
and will throw a tantrum if he doesn’t get his own way. He is
working on a repertoire of Christmas carols that he howls along with new
his owners.

| Jordy
is black spaniel who was surrendered following a family break up.
He has a beautiful nature and after a brief foster period was placed
with a family who were looking for a medium sized dog to be part of
their life. He has settled in well and enjoys all the activities
of the family. |
|
| Muffin
was a small one kg maltese in good (though thin) condition when found.
She appeared to have come from a good home, was house trained and
recognised the sound of the keys and a lead. We couldn’t find
Muffin’s family and she was placed with a foster family to be cared
for until she was ready to be adopted. Within two weeks, a friend
of the foster carer fell in love with Muffin and decided to adopt her.
Unfortunately Muffin was hit by
a car and killed when she escaped from the house in fright during a
severe thunderstorm. |
|
| Kofi
was in poor condition when found and had to have his entire coat clipped
to remove the matts and dirt. He is a gentle friendly dog who
fitted in to his foster carer’s home immediately. Kofi has
required significant veterinary care to return him to health and he is
now doing very well. Kofi’s foster family decided within a week
to adopt him and he now plays happily with his human and younger poodle
friends. Kofi has adapted to the family routine and is well on the
way to looking like a perfect poodle as his hair continues to grow and
he becomes healthier and happier. |
|
| Neelix
is a black miniature poodle who was rescued from the pound in August
2001. He was approximately two years old and has a white streak
running from his chin to his chest. Neelix was named by his
adoptive family after the pace faring wanderer who was adopted by the
crew of VOYAGER from Star Trek. True to his namesake, Neelix loves to
wander and takes any chance he gets to explore. He has settled in
beautifully and has a lovely nature. His favourite past-time is
stirring up Kira (another trekkie name) and when the fun and games are
over he just loves a cuddle. His aim is to boldly go where he
hasn’t gone before. |

Sydney
is a very small white poodle maltese cross who was rescued from the
pound. He has been rehomed
and enjoys his daily walks. |
|
| Ben
is a miniature poodle cross who was rescued from the pound.
He was well trained and fitted in well to his new household.
He is very happy and lives a pampered life. |
|
| Benji
was collected by Oodles of Poodles when his owner decided that he was no
longer a good companion for the children.
He was a little timid and nervous at first but with encouragement and care he
developed confidence and enjoyed playing with the others.
It didn’t take long before he found a new home with an older
lady where he settled in straight away. |
|
| Wilbur
is a small grey toy poodle who has joined Benji in his new home. Benji
and Wilbur now make a great team and run around together happily all
day. They love to leap up
onto ‘their bed’ to bark at passers-by and other dogs but equally
love to cuddle up and watch TV together as well.

| Jacob
and Micah were reluctantly surrendered by
someone who was ill and unable to care for them.
They have been adopted together and love their new home where
they have numerous plays, cuddles and walks.

Geordie,
Pugsley and Muffy
were all adopted by the same family at different times and ages.
They are all small maltese crosses from different circumstances
and have settled into their new family where they play and rule the home
with firm but loving paws.

| Honey,
a small poodle cross has been rehomed with an older person who adores her company. Honey
provides lots of enjoyment for her new owner and at the same time
appreciates the love and attention lavished on her.

|
| Bobbie
is a poodle cross who was placed with a family after being rescued from
the pound. He is a cheeky
little soul who is also independent and very happy. |
