Pekingese and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Richmond, Virginia

Greetings! My name is Maleficent! I am a female, Peekaboo (Poodle/Pekingese mix) I am 3 years old and weigh 9 lbs. I was surrendered with a few other pets as our owner was suffering from declining health and had to go to the hospital and there was no one to care for us. We are not bonded so don't worry about that but another small dog in my new home would be wonderful as I do enjoy the company of other dogs. (cat friendly too) I am crate and pee pad trained and doing well in my foster home with going outside too! am a super sweet gal, quite the treasure really just looking for a wonderful home that will cherish me furever. If that can be with you all you must do is fill out an application on the rescue's website www.floprva.org/adoption-application/

Love,
Maleficent xo
