Special Needs? Cindy is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 11/12/25 Cindy had oral surgery to remove 2 teeth. She also had a professional ear cleaning. Our veterinarian noted that Cindy has Grade 1 bilateral MPL. Surgery is not recommended at this time. If she needs orthopedic surgery in the future, this will be the responsibility of her new owner.

Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $425
Fence needed? Not necessarily although she does not yet know the nuances of leash walking or even being an owned pet with the pleasure of long walks with her human companion. If adopted to a non-fenced home, it will take some time and patience, but she will eventually learn the skill of pottying with a human attached and then happily heading down the street for a fun walk with her BFF human. Cindy is an active, happy girl and when she is in the yard, she loveds to run. First preference will be given to single family fenced in yard home but to the right person. we can discuss a non-fenced in home.
What kind of home would be best for me? Cindy is looking for a home preferably with one other small, laid-back dog to pal around with. She could be with a work away from home person if she had the companionship of another dog, but first preference will be given to those who work from home or can take their dog to work.
Cindy gets along great with other dogs and would be lost without at least one companion dog. She is always found snuggling with some of her foster siblings at night.
Please note - Cindy and Penny would still love to be adopted together although it's no longer a firm requirement. The nice thing about a pair is, if you work all day, they have each other for company. They do not need someone home all the time. They are perfectly content playing poodley girl games while you are away and once your home, it'll be a lap sandwich with one on each side of you in the recliner. They love people and want one of their own, but they have each other, too.
What is my personality like? Cindy is a sweet, happy, complacent dog who we would describe as a follower, not a leader. She is very happy to be in the middle of the group. She does have a bit of a slight bum knee, but it does not slow her down at all. She can run and play with no issues at all. Cindy does love an open door, and she likes to saunter through it to see what is on the other side.
Cindy has been very good in the car - although we do have her ride in her crate for safety. But no car sickness.
Speaking of crates, Cindy sleeps happily in a medium sized crate with 2 to 4 of her other buddies with her at night. She keeps it clean. We can't guarantee house training, so our suggestion is a crate in your bedroom for the first 30 days, then transition to you bed if you want. We think she would enjoy nighttime snuggles very much once she knows your routine.
Cindy was trained to pee pads before we received her. We use washable ones here and first thing in the am, if the door is not open fast enough, she is sprinting for the nearest pee pad to do business especially first thing. I know some people do not like pee pads in the house but based on her actions here, we think she has used one for most of her life. It means you have to be careful with having throw rugs because they look like pee pads to a dog. To us, it's a blessing to have a dog trained to pads.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Very friendly and if you're in a chair, you'll very soon have a snuggle of poodle in your lap.
Other tips and tidbits: Cindy is estimated at 7 years old. We celebrate her birthday 09/23/2018.
Please note, we were told Cindy was a are purebred miniature poodles. We do not have pedigrees. We will not guarantee complete non shedding. She does not shed here. Her bed is always clean and her hair is growing at a normal poodle rate but we can not guarantee you she is 100%% hypoallergenic.
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.
