Autumn

My story

We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving on 9/19/25 to NorCal, OR. Surrounding states will be added to our route as needed ☺️ We would love to add Autumn to our trip for the right home! Meet Autumn. She is a purebred miniature size poodle. She is hypoallergenic so you won't have to worry about shedding. She is 2 1/2 years of age. She is on the larger size of a miniature but at a great size if you ask me. She is 17 1/2 lbs. Yea, she is full grown and at a healthy weight. She is spayed, had a dental cleaning done, is current on vaccines, microchipped, has been thourely examined, and cleared by our vet to find a home all her own ❤️ Autumn is the more confident of the two sisters. She has a natural leader’s spirit and is very smart, observant, and attentive. She likes knowing her environment and the people in it so that she can fully trust her situation. Once she feels secure, she blossoms into her sweet, calm, and affectionate self. Autumn is crate trained and currently sleeps peacefully through the night in her crate. She adapts well to different sleeping arrangements, whether that be in her crate, at your bedside, or snuggled close. Having that consistency gives her comfort and helps her know what to expect. She is also house trained and follows a scheduled routine every 4 hours, which she thrives on. For her success, we recommend that her new family continue with a similar structured schedule so she can transition smoothly into her new home and feel confident in what’s expected of her. When it comes to the leash, Autumn is still building her confidence. She is curious and willing but, like many dogs who are new to structured walks, she benefits from patience and reassurance. Short, calm walks where she can take her time to sniff and explore will help her gain trust in the process. Positive reinforcement such as offering praise and a treat when she walks nicely will help her grow more comfortable over time. Autumn also travels beautifully in the car. She loves hanging out around town with us and would make a fantastic road trip companion for longer journeys, whether that’s a vacation or an afternoon outing. At the groomer’s, she is perfect. She adores being pampered, doted on, and enjoys a good spa day every time. Autumn is wonderful with other dogs and cats, but she would be equally content being the “princess” of her home, soaking up all the love and attention as the center of her person’s world. She is also great with men, women, and children. While she isn’t high energy, her playful heart makes her a joy with grandkids, neighbors, or visiting dogs for playdates. She is easygoing, kind-hearted, serene tempered, and very easy to love. Autumn and her sister Daisy came to us after their owner’s husband passed away. With no family or friends able to step in to help, their caregiver’s vet reached out to us here at Bread of Life K9 Refuge so we could ensure these two girls found safe, loving homes. ❤️ Autumn shines on her own and does not need to be adopted with Daisy. They love each other, but they are also independent and will do wonderfully in their own homes. That said, for the right family seeking a bonded pair, Autumn and Daisy would also make a beautiful duo as their personalities complement one another. Adoption Fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/autumn-1 Her fee covers her spay, vaccines, microchip/registration, dental cleaning, and her full vet exam, along with the months of care, grooming, and training we have personally provided while she has been with us. Autumn is loyal, confident, affectionate, and serene—ready to be a devoted best friend and cherished companion to the family lucky enough to call her their own. 🍁❤️
