-UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2024-
“TUCKER”, ‘HARLOW” AND “MATTEO” came to us from a Minnesota breeder who is retiring.
Special thank you to this breeder as she wanted the best homes for her Poodles as they enter their “retirement” years.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
“HARLOW” IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. She is a creamy white parti, gentle, AKC Standard Poodle who is 7 years old (April 29, 2017), weighs a healthy 55 pounds and measures 22 inches from the floor to her withers.
When Harlow first arrived, she was NOT at all worried, stressed or anxious about anything. She looked at us and we could see the joy in her eyes and on her face.
This sweet and gentle girl absolutely loves to be with people. During a recent visit to our veterinarian’s office, Harlow would walk up to other people who were sitting and place her muzzle onto their laps while giving them the look of “I Love You”. If you’re standing, she will place her muzzle under your hand, so that you will pet her as she just loves attention.
Harlow is a perfect girl in our home (housetrained) and has never had any accidents. She follows us around our home while being a part of our family. She is also allowed to run freely in our home while we are there.
When anyone comes to our home, she loves their attention and hugs. Or grab her leash and she’s ready to go for a walk with you so she can meet people while watching for those crazy squirrels!
Yes, Harlow is a quiet, soft, easy going, “cream puff” Poodle girl who just loves being with people. In fact, she was the breeder’s BEST friend. She had a difficult time letting go of her beloved Poodle, but knew that Harlow needed a home of her own where she would be deeply loved and well cared for.
Harlow has been around other dogs all her life and is best with other easy-going large or small dogs. We’ve also noticed how the Poodles like to hang around with her or follow her wherever she goes.
Like all dogs, Harlow really likes to chew. But with her, precautions will need to be taken. We have found various special toys and heavy-duty chewing items (which are included with her adoption) that she greatly enjoys, which keeps everyone happy. NOTE: She is not a counter surfer.
*A SECURLY FENCED YARD is recommended.
*You must be physically able to handle a Standard Poodle.
*Preference will be given to a quiet family with past Standard Poodle experience.
BUT PLEASE:
*NO puppies or cats.
*NO aggressive or assertive dogs (they scare her and me).
*NO young children.
*Like most all rescue groups, we do NOT adopt our Poodles to homes more than 1 day’s drive (round trip) from our location here in central Minnesota.
Yes. This is a very rare opportunity for the right family as we all know that a good Standard Poodle is hard to find. With the introduction of Doodles, sadly the Standard Poodles are becoming harder to find. Why Doodle when you can Poodle?
She has been spayed and her dental work is done which included the removal of several teeth. She is just fine and can eat a hard kibble so no canned or soft food is required. Harlow has been Vet checked healthy, is up to date on all her vaccinations, worming, heartworm / lymes / ehrlich / anaplas (4DX) tested negative, placed on a heartworm preventative, and Home Again microchipped.
As with all the other Standard Poodles we have adopted, Harlow’s adoption fee is 1 million, trillion, zillion dollars.
However, for the right family her adoption fee is $500.00 PLUS $36.88 for our 7.375% Minnesota state sales tax. This fee helps to pay for just some of her extensive vet work.
Also included is her leash, collar, a bag of quality dog food, a 10-gallon dog food container, treats, dog chew toys in a cute toy box, a new blanket, a dog bed along with lots of good information to help your Poodle adoption move forward on the right paw! For a $50.00 donation, her large wire crate will also be included.

ADOPTION IS PENDING ON “MATTEO” who is a 5-year-old (April 20, 2019) quiet, creamy white, oversized male Toy Poodle and CKC (Continental Kennel Club) registered. He weighs a healthy 11 pounds and measures 11” from the floor to his withers.
Matteo (pronounced Ma Tay Oh), is ahhh…. something different.
He came to us from the same kennel as Tucker, Harlow and Lulu came from. Yet all of these Poodles are extremely loving, sociable and friendly. So we know it’s not his past environment. I have no idea why he is the way he is, but I can clearly see that he doesn’t know how to deal with people.
Matteo doesn’t bite, complain, growl or come near us. He is a soft, gentle and very easy-going Poodle with that sad and then scared look in his eyes. When YOU pick him up, he tends to be stiff like a board, but then briefly relaxes while enjoying being held, cuddled and loved.
He really wants to hang around with the Standard Poodles Harlow, Tucker and our Lola, as he considers himself one of them.
Now after months of working with him while all his required Vet work has been completed, he is available for adoption.
BUT…. Let me be perfectly honest with you; Matteo still needs more work, time and patience. If you go left, he will go right, you go up and he will go down. Sometimes when you call him, he will come, or will not come. He will not jump into your lap and not ask for any love or attention. When going outside, he will run out of our home like a scary monster is chasing him, when coming into our home he will run with that scary monster still chasing him.
So, are you interested and up for a challenge while working with Matteo for his love and attention? O.K. Then read on.
At this time, Matteo loves to have people near so he can see them. While he considers himself independent and self-centered, he will follow me around the house always watching me to see what I’m going to do. If I’m in the kitchen he will watch me from around the corner. When I go into the garage, he will stand at the top of our steps watching and waiting for me to return. If I’m in my home office, he will lay down next to my feet, but will not touch me.
He is just perfect with all our big and little Poodles, he loves his food and treats, is a good boy in our home (housetrained) and keeps his kennel clean when we are gone. He likes females who have the soft, sweet and gentle (positive) tone of voice.
We’ve started walking him with a snug fitted dog vest on a leash. It’s going well, so we will continue to work with him on that new adventure. We will also continue to work with Matteo as he learns how to deal with life and what appears to be his anxiety.
Yes. This is a very unusual opportunity for the right family. He’s not a Velcro Poodle, has no demands or expectations from anyone and is just fine hanging around any other large or small dog while watching you.
A SECURLY FENCED YARD WILL BE REQUIRED as he is not trained to relieve himself on a leash. And please, no aggressive or assertive dogs and no young children.
He has been neutered, is up to date on all his vaccinations, worming, dental work is done including the removal of various rotting teeth. He is just fine and can eat a hard kibble; no canned or soft food is required. Finally, Matteo has been heartworm / Lymes / Ehrlich / Anaplasmosis (4DX) tested negative, placed on a heartworm preventative, and Home Again microchipped.
His adoption fee is $400.00 which includes $27.00 for our 7.375% Minnesota state sales tax. This fee helps to pay for just some of his extensive vet work.
Also included is his leash, collar, fitted dog vest, a bag of quality dog food, a dog food container, treats, dog chew toys in a cute toy box, a new blanket, a dog bed, his wire crate along with lots of good information to help your Poodle adoption move forward on the right paw!

“TUCKER” is a creamy white, soft, gentle and easy going AKC Standard Poodle who is 9 years old (June 23, 2015), weighs a healthy 63 pounds and measures 25″ from the floor to his withers.
WE ARE VERY SAD TO REPORT that Tucker’s adoption has been placed on a hold. While we were outside, Tucker and the other Poodles were running, jumping and playing. Suddenly we heard Tucker give out a loud “YIP!!” and clearly saw him limping.
The other Poodles wouldn’t tell us what happened. But some squirrels were chattering about how Tucker was chasing them, and he took a quick turn to the right.
Not sure if the squirrels were telling us the truth, so we quickly got Tucker into our Vet where X-rays were taken. We then learned that he had torn (ruptured) his right “Cruciate Ligament”. Humans have a similar experience, but it’s called a torn “ACL”. Maybe the squirrels were correct?
Well, a Specialist was called in and a surgery has done to fix his torn ACL and meniscus. This surgery is very expensive (thousands), but Tucker was in pain, and he needed our help. And for those of you who asked or question our decision: We will not euthanize any Poodle when a highly successful surgery is available!
Now after the surgery, Tucker has to wear his cone (of shame) along with a soft cast on his leg. He has his own living space in our entry way to limit his activity. Yes, he missed going for walks, playing outside and going to baseball games.
So yes, Tucker will be with us a bit longer while he rests, heals and receives physical therapy. It will take a few months, but he will completely recover with no problems after this surgery! He will then be available for adoption.
And yes, if you can help Tucker, we are accepting donations to help pay for his surgery. Thank you.
