Miniature Poodle and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Marion, Texas

Meet Sugar, a 5-year-old miniature Poodle mix we found at a local shelter, just waiting for her chance to shine!

When we first met her, this curly girl had a double cherry eye and has since undergone surgery to correct it. She’s healing beautifully and will be on eye medication for just another week.

Sugar is a confident, independent little lady who absolutely adores her people. While she doesn’t need another dog in the home, she has adjusted well to the big dogs here at Good Catch. It took her a few days to settle in, but now she’s comfortable, feels safe, and knows that love—and treats—are always close by.

She weighs right around 10 pounds. While she was under anesthesia for her eye surgery, she also had a dental cleaning. Her vet reports that her heart sounds great, and her teeth are healthy and intact.

Sugar is up to date on all vaccinations and preventatives. Like all of our healthy dogs over one year old, she’s received a ProHeart12 shot for year-long heartworm prevention. She’s also on Bravecto for flea and tick prevention and is spayed.

This sweet girl would thrive in a mature household. We recommend children over 12, or no young children, as she prefers respectful interactions and isn’t shy about reminding little ones that she’s not a toy.

Sugar is crate-trained at night, house-trained, and walks nicely on a leash with a harness.

For out-of-state adopters, Sugar can travel safely with one of our trusted transport partners, Freedom Run Express or Tigger’s Texas Transport. We adopt to multiple states to ensure each dog finds their perfect match.

The miniature poodle is a highly intelligent and affectionate dog breed known for its curly hypoallergenic coat and charming personality. Originally bred as water retrievers, these small but sturdy dogs excel in various dog sports and activities. They are adaptable to different living situations, making them ideal companions for both families and individuals. Miniature poodles require regular grooming to maintain their coat, and their playful nature and trainability make them a popular choice for obedience and agility competitions.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
