I have been looking for a companion animal for my mom for a year now. She is very particular as she is allergic but loves poodles. I had received a notification that Black Dog had a poodle for adoption and so I let her know. We sent an inquiry to the rescue and were told when the operating hours were.
Unfortunately, she didn't fill out an application and we couldn't get a hold of anyone at the rescue so the dog had been adopted by someone else. Wish someone would've answered the phone before we drove all the way out there!
I will say this however, this is a place that truly loves animals. They have it all. They have the cutest chickens (some Polish mix which are my very favorites), cows, a few very very spoiled, and pampered cats (one who may break all Guinness records because he is 22) and of course the dogs. Each dog has it's own kennel. On the property they have a very long dog run as well as an agility course for exercise.
These dogs were all actively trying to get our attention as a sort of 'Look at me!!' sense of excitement. When we pulled in, we saw the cutest little girl happily towing a newly adopted dog. The look on her face had you think that this would be a precious relationship for that very lucky dog.
They were *extremely* helpful and provided my mom with a paper application for her to fill out so that the next time they get a Poodle, she will be already on their list for approval.
I honestly hope that it works out this way. I can't imagine a nicer group of people that honestly care for animals providing my mom with her next Prince to spoil. read more
