Meet little Patty Cake, so named because she frequently stands on hind legs and "begs" with her front paws, as if she were playing "Patty Cake." This happy little girl is 5 years old, a retired breeder. Patty is crate trained and doing well on house breaking but will need continued positive training. Because of her size and past life of breeding, we recommend a household with no young children (under age 10). She is not yet comfortable walking on a leash, so a fenced yard is needed. Patty Cake doesn't understand yet how to play with toys, so a well-adjusted dog in the home would be helpful to her development. She is good with other dogs. Patty Cake is fully vetted, including a fresh dental cleaning. Her adoption fee is $400. For additional details, or to assess whether your home may be a good match for Patty, call or text Mary at (574) 524-6040.

Meet Sophie, a 5-1/2 year old Schnauzer Poodle mix with unusual coloring for the breed; she is white with tan ears and a few tan spots. She is described by her foster mom as “easy to care for” but VERY active, so Sophie’s forever home MUST have a fenced yard and someone to play with—maybe kids older than 8 or even another playful canine friend. She loves to play with other dogs, does well on a long leash. She is crate trained, house trained and knows basic commands. Because of her breed mix, she will need to be groomed regularly. Sophie is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. For more details about Sophie, contact her foster mom Sharon at (574) 220-6485. Her adoption fee will be between $400-450.

Last month we took in a Standard Poodle puppy, and she is quite the handful at 8-9 months. We feel Sierra could benefit from a temporary placement with someone knowledgeable about training a smart young dog to help her be her best for her future owner. If you or someone you know has the skills necessary and the heart to work with our Sierra, please reach out to us via this post or FB Messenger.
Sierra was featured in the South Bend Tribune on November 9!!
