Here's Your Quick Peek:

Almaretta is a little Yorkie learning that life can be kind. Once a frightened, tick-covered puppy mill dog, Alma is beginning to show her goofy, affectionate side-and underneath that nervousness is a tremendous cuddle bug waiting for her own person.

Please Note: Carolina Poodle Rescue requires a meet and greet where everyone living in the home - all people and all dogs - will come to our farm to meet dogs. This is non-negotiable. Please do not apply if you and your family can't make this commitment.

Must have: Alma has dry eye - she will need daily drops for the rest of her life. On 1800petmeds, cyclosporin currently runs $55 per bottle if you put on autoship. She uses a bottle approximately every 6 weeks. This works out to about $1.31 per day.

Exercise: Gentle playtime, frequent potty trips, and supervised time in a securely fenced yard. Her leash skills are unknown, and she is not yet house trained.

Best with: A quiet, patient home with another small, friendly dog and someone who will let her build trust at her own pac

Not ideal for: A busy, noisy household or someone expecting an immediately confident companion. Her family must also be comfortable giving twice-daily eye drops for chronic dry eye for life.

Energy level: Medium. She enjoys toys and activity but is not bouncing off the walls.

There is a brightness about Alma now that wasn't there when she arrived, a little more of her personality showing as she learns what it means to be clean, comfortable, and cherished. She is not quite a pet yet, but she is on the cusp-give her time, give her your love, and watch her shine.

Good with dogs: Yes, both large and small dogs. She needs another small, friendly dog in her home.

Good with kids: Unknown. Her nervous nature makes a quiet adult home her best fit.

Cats: Unknown.

Fun fact: Alma likes to tote her toys around rather than play rough with them-her own little treasures to carry!
