Aberdeen Standard Poodle Cincinnati, OH

Here she is...meet Aberdeen! Aberdeen is an energetic, beautiful, energetic, affectionate, (did we mention energetic?) pure-bred Standard Poodle with a rough and tumble attitude. Her favorite activities include playing fetch, roughing it up with the boys, snuggling with her foster mom and sleeping on top of her foster brother. She warms to women fairly easily, but is timid and weary of men. Aberdeen will relax around men, but must do so in her own time. Due to her high energy level, (springs and bounces galore!), she would prefer to be around older children who have both feet firmly on the ground. Because of her large and in-charge attitude, she would do best with other active dogs and would like to have one in her forever home. She loves to play to wear her out and drain her energy. If she hasn't had enough exercise, she will let you know by bringing you all the toys she can, begging for a game of fetch! Aberdeen is fostered and does well with other dogs, but she doesn't play too well with the cats in her foster home, so a home without feline friends is preferred. Aberdeen is crate trained and housebroken, but needs to be kept on a strict schedule. She knows most basic commands and we are told she is agility trained. We haven't had a chance to test it out, but she picked up on a couple of tricks in only a matter of minutes including jumping up on and leaping between two elevated surfaces! She is very bright and would love an adopter who would continue training her. She needs an experienced adopter who is familiar with Standard Poodles and their energetic needs who is willing to set and stick to firm boundaries. Aberdeen unfortunately spent roughly one third of her life crated in a basement, and she has some resource guarding when it comes to food items but is working on overcoming this in her foster home with reassurance and positive reinforcement.

All of our dogs come spayed or neutered, fully up to date on vaccinations, including rabies (if age appropriate) and bordetella, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: http://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. You will receive an automated confirmation once your application is successfully submitted. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the dog you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call ASAP.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where dogs can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting a dog in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

Thanks so much for caring about a needy animal!
