Hi there! I'm Blue Jay, a 7-month-old poodle weighing in at a charming 10 pounds. Let me tell you a bit about myself.
I'm still a little hesitant when people approach me, and I'll probably run if you get too close too quickly. But if you sit down and give me a moment, I'll come to you because I love pets and snuggles. I'm getting better on a leash every day, and I really enjoy the company of other dogs. In my current home, the other dogs don't really like to play, so I'd love to have a furry friend who enjoys some fun and games as much as I do.
My favorite activities include chasing the other dogs around the house and chewing on toys. I haven't quite figured out fetch yet, but we're working on it! When it comes to treats, I only eat them if they are put in my bowl—I'm a bit particular like that. Also, I'm not a fan of loud noises, and I found my first grooming session a bit scary, especially the dryer and the water.
I'm still working on potty training, but I'm crate trained and comfortable in my crate. I don't need a fenced yard because I'm getting better on a leash and can go outside for potty breaks and exercise on a leash. We are also working on kennel training, I only whine a little and then I settle down. I’m still a puppy and learning!
I'm coming out of my shell nicely and adapting quickly to my new routines. I'm smart, very handsome, and I know I'll make an awesome companion for someone special. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate, and smart little guy, I might just be the perfect fit for you!
*I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!
**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
P
lease note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.
Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.
We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
