What To Look For In A Poodle Rescue Centre
If you are considering adopting a Poodle from a rescue centre rather than buying a puppy, good for you! Please keep in mind that you will still have to fork out a few hundred dollars in adoption fees. This is still a lot cheaper than getting a purebred puppy. A good Poodle rescue centre will charge about two hundred fifty dollars in adoption fees, sometimes three hundred dollars. This is to discourage those less kindly folks who would sell the dogs for medical research, or worse.
This is why it takes a long time to go through the Poodle adoption process. You will feel like you are going through a human child adoption process. This is the sign of a really good Poodle rescue group! You should never be able to pay a fee and have a dog on your doorstep the next morning. That is a puppy mill, not a legitimate rescue group.
Expect to be grilled on your Poodle information, or lack thereof. If you show no knowledge of Poodle care or needs, then you will be politely turned down, no matter whom you protest to. There is no parent organization that oversees all animal rescue groups in America.
This is not like ordering shoes online, and if it is then you have hit a puppy broker or puppy mill pretending to be a rescue. The Poodle rescue should never offer to ship the dogs anywhere in the country.
Although you may have to pay a non-refundable adoption application fee, you should not have to pay the adoption fee for the dog until you actually meet the dog. Never trust photos sent to you about the dogs for adoption. If the Poodle rescue centre discourages you from meeting the dog first, then it is most likely a puppy mill. Run far away and try another Poodle rescue group.
Always get to visit the dog at the Poodle rescue centre before you sign anything or pay any full fees (with the possible exception of the initial application fee). You want to see if you get along with the dog, how healthy he or she is and what conditions he or she has been currently living in. There may be more than one visit required before adoption is finalized.
Check the condition of the foster home to be sure the dogs are getting decent care. No dogs should live in stacked crates, live in their own excrement, or live in overcrowded conditions. This is where you might meet Poodle hoarders, who take in dozens of animals without being able to take care of them.
And that is for no extra charge. They also get to know the personalities of all of the dogs up for adoption, so that you are assured of compatibility.
