Poodle

Daisy The Unicorn is very special. She is unavailable for adoption at this time, as we allow the magic of the Pug Lady Kingdom to nurse her to health. But we will take applications for this lovely senior lady. She is near blind, and fragile.This is her story:

There once lived a beautiful poodle That poodle once was me! The most beautiful poodle That you would ever see! I was happy, and young And danced with such pride! My owner was happy To have me by his side

As I got older I got rather slow I couldn't run or walk As fast as they'd go. So they sent me to a brick tower Far away from the home I loved The next thing I felt

Was a hand with a heavy glove.

"No one will want it" I heard "It's just too old." "We'll put it down tomorrow." And I shivered ..I was so cold.

The next morning I woke to a Queen Touching my face and hand "I'm taking you far away.." she said To a magical land!"

With my thick heavy coat That was matted to my skin I didn't realize that My new life would now begin.

I told the Queen I was slow And I couldn't run fast or walk "That's ok" she replied You can bark and I can talk!" I'm not as pretty as I once was My eyes are dark, I can't see.. "That's ok," she whispered "Because you are beautiful to me!"

So now I smile all day And cheer others who wear a frown. The queen calls me her magic unicorn I even get to wear her crown!

So please help the magic continue Donate a dollar-even two! It's amazing the magic that can happen What together what we can all do.

DAISY THE UNICORN Passed away monday, and she will now be spreading her own magic along the rainbow bridge. We will all truly miss her silent sparkle that shined so bright. If the dog is posted it is available for adoption. If it stated 'pending' you still may submit an application in case the adoption does not go through.

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

A volunteer will review your application and contact you ONLY if you are approved or if further clarification is required. We will make every attempt to contact approved applicants within 5 business days of application submission (M-F), but this will depend on the number of applications received.

Please understand that by answering the questions does not quarantee the adoption of the pet, nor are you obligated to adopt the pet.

Pug Lady Kingdom adopts to homes that are best fits for our animals' needs, and not on a first-come, first-served basis. If you currently own a dog or have a history of dog ownership, you must provide a vet reference for your application to be processed. We adopt our dogs only to those who have had dog experience.

We are an all-volunteer organization, and regret that we do not have the resources to contact applicants that are not approved. Please do not contact us to check on the status of your application - it just slows down our ability to process applications. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
