Lenny

This dog is a 4-5 year old female Standard Poodle who weighs in at 48.8 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $600. If you are still interested, please read more below.

This girl's name is actually Nella. She came to us as a male, 1 year old, golden doodle named Lenny, but surprise she is a girl! The vet also believes she is actually a standard poodle and about 4-5 years old. She is a very gentle, sweet girl, but still very scared of life. She likes to stay in her spot all day unless she goes for a walk. She does great walking on leash, and she loves to walk her same path everyday, multiple times a day! She also loves any sort of edible chew toy that you give her. Nella girl loves to be brushed; it puts her right to sleep!!

Because we don't know her exact story, we have been learning some of her triggers as we go. She is still very nervous with just about everything! It will take her time to settle in. We think there must have been some trauma for her with cars, because she is still nervous around them. She prefers women and has adjusted better to women in the house versus men.

Nella has very specific routines that she likes to follow, but she is a very sweet girl!! She would do best in a home without kids, because she likes to be in a quiet, peaceful environment. She doesn't mind other dogs as long as they happily ignore her, but she isn't one for really engaging with them. If you have the time, patience, and love to let her settle in on her own time, she would be a great dog for you!

She is fully crate-trained, house-trained, and leash-trained!

This dog is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and spayed. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.
