I'm ready for my new family!

Scoshi is looking for someone to be her sunshine so she can be their shadow! This sweet, shy, 40-pound Standard Poodle is searching for her special person, and once she chooses you, prepare to have the most devoted little shadow you’ve ever met.

Scoshi takes being a velcro dog to a whole new adorable level. She wants to be wherever you are, preferably close enough to touch. Working at your desk? She’ll be right underneath it. Eating dinner? She’ll keep you company under the table. Watching TV? She’ll happily snuggle beside you, or perhaps right on top of you! And if she had her way at bedtime, she’d be tucked right between you and your pillow. Let’s just say Scoshi believes personal space is a little overrated!

The wonderful news is that Scoshi is coming out of her shell and gaining confidence every day. Watching her discover that the world can be a safe and happy place is a joy, and her future person will be rewarded with all the love she has to give.

A few more reasons to fall in love with Scoshi:

• She’s a dream roommate! Scoshi is completely housetrained and has lovely house manners. She doesn’t chew things she shouldn’t, beg at the table, or help herself to goodies off the counter. An absolute little lady! Please note that even with her good manners, she would appreciate having a crate in her new home as her own safe, cozy space when you’re away.
• She enjoys her daily walks. She walks nicely on a leash and is happy to get out and explore with her favorite human.
• She’s a polite canine housemate. Scoshi gets along with other dogs but isn’t much of a player. Think of her as more of a peaceful co-worker than a party buddy. Maybe playtime will come as her confidence grows, but for now, she’s perfectly content just sharing the space.
• She’s not much of a chatterbox. Scoshi is generally quiet and doesn’t bark just for the sake of hearing her own voice. She can be nervous when a man approaches and may give an alarm bark, but a gentle voice, a little patience, and some reassuring pets help her warm up.

A couple of things her future family should know:
Scoshi can be a bit of a door-dasher so everyone in the household will need to be careful around doors and gates. She can also get a little jealous when other dogs crowd her favorite person. She hasn’t shown any aggression, but she may offer an occasional warning growl. A calm, easygoing dog who respects her space would be a better fit than a reactive dog who might take offense.

Scoshi’s happily-ever-after home
Scoshi would love a patient, loving woman to call her person. If there’s a man in the household, she’ll need time and gentle reassurance to feel comfortable with him. She would do best in a home without young children, as she may become jealous when they compete for her person’s attention. Older kids should be just fine.

She is comfortable around other dogs. We think she'd do well with cats, although that hasn’t been confirmed.

More than anything, Scoshi needs someone to love. She has a huge heart and wants to give it to you. In return, you’ll get a sweet, devoted companion who thinks you hung the moon.

If you’ve always wanted a best friend who follows you from room to room, keeps your feet warm under the desk, and makes sure you’re never lonely on the couch, Scoshi might just be your girl!

Scoshi’s adoption fee is $850, which includes her completed spay surgery, up-to-date vaccinations, and microchip.
