Rosarita and Dahlia are two perfect poodles! Rosarita is just as smart as you would expect but adds stellar skills in emotional intelligence to her resume. Dahlia a little bundle of joy wrapped in a curly fluff. She has a heart as big as her love for cuddles. They will both tiptoe into your life and stake a claim with gentle leans, boops and snuffles. Rosaritas vision is a little clouded by cataracts, but her aims are very clear: She seeks to capture the hearts and minds of humans and dogs. Dahlia is a social butterfly and enjoys wagging tail at every new face she meets. She is as sweet as her name and is ready to spread kindness wherever she goes. They belong together and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Help these two facilitate their rise to power in their forever home!
A super fan has covered Dahlia and Rosarita’s adoption fee!
Here’s some notes from her foster:
Rosarita:
- Her tail is always wagging, she has a lot energy but also enjoys being a couch potato
- She LOVES people and enjoys being the center of attention and is always up for some pets
Dahlia is more of a couch potato and requires a slightly slower approach. She likes to sleep, eat, and be carried about halfway through her walk. She likes to follow what her foster sister does.
Containment:
When unsupervised, they stay in an X-Pen, but it must be tall since Rosarita can climb over if she can reach the top while standing
Both dogs do fine in a crate when necessary – Rosarita may paw briefly but then settles down to sleep
Bonding & Behavior:
Dahlia is strongly bonded to Rosarita and doesn’t like to be separated.
For travel and in a crate, keep them in the same carrier to prevent Dahlia from stressing
They only need one dog bed because they always snuggle up together
Dahlia’s Habits:
Very food-motivated and will climb to reach treats once comfortable in a space
Loves exploring new environments thoroughly once she’s acclimated
Does not like big dogs. If a big dog gets close to her, she will growl and bark. This is actually the only time I have heard her make a noise.
Rosarita’s Habits:
Very chill and will go along with everything
Loves being around people and will always stand up to say hello
When out on walks, if Dahlia gets picked up, she will often also want to be picked up so she can see Dahlia
