Story: Simone was surrendered to us by her owner

Meet Simone! Simone is a young Standard Poodle with a tall, elegant build, though she is still growing and is actually much smaller in person than she appears in photos. As a breeder-surrender who is quickly learning to love the home life, Simone is a bright, affectionate girl who is a true shadow to her person. While she is very devoted, she is currently working with her foster and a professional trainer to build her confidence and independence.

Simone is an active, smart girl and a perfect angel on runs and walks. She loves playing fetch and is a social butterfly with other dogs. While she is immediately loving with women, she is wary of men and requires a patient home that can provide slow, proper introductions. Regarding children, she can be a little nervous if they are high-energy or move unexpectedly, but she is happy to receive affection once everyone is settled and relaxing together.

To help her manage her FOMO and learn a routine, Simone is working through a structured crate training plan. She settles best when she has company; she currently sleeps in her crate in the bedroom near her people at night, and stays in a crate near her dog siblings for company during the work day. Simone is also nearly 100% potty trained when kept on a regular schedule. She is an incredibly fast learner looking for a patient, active home where she can continue her training and finally be the devoted companion she was meant to be.
