Story
Meet DEVLIN, a young, handsome 10 pound multi-grey neutered poodle full of spunk. He is about 1-2 years old.
DEVLIN had some sort of accident and ended up as a stray in a South Florida animal shelter, struggling with a seriously broken leg. When Coastal Poodle rescued him, he was skinny, but still managing to get around really well on 3 legs. After surgery, he has been on crate rest and under close supervision for 12 weeks, to be sure hi leg healed well. Sometimes he forgets his leg is all healed and holds it up, but if he gets a chance he can run like the wind on four legs.
His last appointment with the surgeon is August 14th and he should be ready to go!
DEVLIN's wish list for his forever home:
I am really ready to get out of this crate, but here is the problem. As much as I think I am part mountain goat, I have to have a family that will make sure I don't try to climb up on everything!
Id love a sniffing walk a few times a day, but I cant be a marathon runner.
I also need a totally fenced yard to keep me safe and give me some freedom to be off leash.
I really like to have my person nearby, so if you are retired or work at home that would be perfect.
Ive had such a hard time. I admit I am a little jealous so Id really like to be an only fur child. I want to jump and play with my foster sister, but I bark when I am in the crate and she is getting lap time!
I am young and adventurous so I need a family that will be strict with me and take the time to teach me that I am not allowed to jump on and off furniture so I don't break another leg!
My foster mom says Ive been perfect in my crate, letting her know when I have to go out to potty or poop. I know out and wag my tail because mom is getting my leash and Ive learned to bow like a gentleman as she clips it on me! I might need a bit of a refresher about going outside as Ive spent the last few months on crate rest, but Ive always let mom know I needed to go out. Mom thinks I could be bell trained like my foster sister.
I am even good getting my fur brushed and my ears cleaned if you are paying attention to me.
My foster mom is sure I was very loved in my early life as I love to be held. My wish is for someone who is looking for a handsome, loyal, love bug to share their life with me. Could that be you?!
DEVLIN is currently being fostered in BREVARD county. To learn more about adopting, go to www.coastalpoodlerescue.org
Can't adopt right now? Consider becoming a foster home for a rescue dog; it's temporary, but very fulfilling and your only cost is their food! Fill out a volunteer application from our website at www.coastalpoodlerescue.org
