Our little apricot poodle Zeke never even made it to the official adoption posting as we had his most perfect family all ready to welcome him into their home.  We have a PDR alum family (many times over) who adore Min. apricot Poodles and as fate would have it they live in the same neighbourhood as Zeke’s foster family.  Always having 3 dogs, their family just didn’t feel complete after the passing of a beloved Poodle, and then they saw Zeke out and about on his walks with his foster family.   We arranged introductions with the dogs and they all got along splendidly.  When this family asked if they could please adopt Zeke we all, without any hesitation said “YES!!!”   Zeke now has a forever family and it includes his brothers, PDR alums Little Prince, and Huey.  We are thrilled with how fate intervened for Zeke and gave him the best Poodle family ever!

Babette is named Daisy now.  She loves her doggie brother and her human sisters and is a very happy puppy

Jean Paul was the perfect puppy for a family who adore dogs and were looking to add a dog to the home to be a special companion for their daughter.   With 2 dogs already in the home, she loves her family dogs, but each had chosen another family member as their person, and she was really wanting a dog to be “hers”.   We knew that our adventurous, confident Jean Paul would fare well in a home with other dogs and with his sweet nature, would be a great dog for this family.   Jean Paul has been renamed JP Sullivan, Sully for short. and he is doing great.  The daughter is taking primary care of Sully and a very strong bond is forming.  This will definitely be her dog!
Malachi is a young CKC Spaniel/Poodle mix who came to our rescue from a puppy mill as a timid older puppy.  He joined a foster home with 2 mature smaller dogs who really helped him come out of his shell and gain confidence.   He grew to love and trust his foster family and in particular bonded very strongly with his foster dad; to the point that his foster dad couldn’t bear to part with him.  We are happy to celebrate this “foster fail” with his foster family who is now happily his forever family.  Malachi and his dad have a lifetime ahead of them for all kinds of adventures followed by snuggles.

Jelly is called Basil now and is settling in so well.  His family adores him!
Luc was the perfect pick for a woman who was looking for her 1st dog of her own.  Having grown up with family dogs she was now ready for a dog to call her very own, and now had a schedule that would accommodate a puppy well.  When she came to meet the pups they all were happy to meet her, but Luc seemed to always be hanging out right with her and spent a lot of time in her lap.  When she was leaving and Luc ran after her we all knew that he had picked his person!!!

He is settling in very well and is a much loved pup!
Brigitte found her happily ever after with a family who were looking for a dog to love again after many years of being dogless.  They knew that they now had a schedule that would accommodate a puppy’s needs and so now was the time.  They wanted a mid sized, friendly and happy family dog and so the litter of Frenchie/Lab pups was a great fit.   Brigitte is named Suki now and she is very happy with her new family. 
Jacques has found his forever family!!! His family had been keeping tabs on this litter of pups and watching the videos we posted on them with eagerness.  Lovers of Frenchies, they knew that one of these pups would be exactly the right fit for them.  When the pups were posted for adoption they sent in an application quickly hoping to be able to adopt one of them. It was apparent when the family came to meet the pups that Jacques had picked them as his family…we find that this happens often where a special bond will form with one of the pups over the others and is something we look for at the puppy meets. Jacques is named Alfie now.  He is quite loved and doing very well with his training!
