Thank you to our rescue angels including those who took Rusty in and helped him, volunteer pilot, Rusty, and ground transport. This tiny Toy Poodle boy was found in rough shape and with no collar or microchip. Rusty was severely neglected, underweight, matted, filthy, weak and anemic from the literally hundreds of blood sucking ticks infesting his body. His rescue angels clipped him and treated the ticks and got him on a flight to Dogwood. On arrival we gave our little guy subQ fluids and while still very weak, he gobbled his dinner, had a potty break and fell fast asleep in a soft, warm bed in the house. Rusty is just 6 pounds and maybe 4 years old.
The Poodle is a highly intelligent and elegant dog breed known for its distinctive curly coat and graceful appearance. Originally bred as water retrievers, Poodles come in three size varieties Standard, Miniature, and Toy each with their unique characteristics but sharing the breed's alert and friendly nature. Renowned for their hypoallergenic qualities and keen sense of humor, Poodles excel in various dog sports and activities, making them versatile companions suitable for different lifestyles and living situations.
