Who We Are
Southern Paws Rescue is a small organization that rescues Standard Poodles and places them in a home that is suited for the poodles specific needs. We also rescue non-specific breed dogs ensuring that all of Southern Paws Rescues will have a home for a lifetime and become a cherished family member. We are a non-profit, no kill rescue serving the community and surrounding areas. Our goal is to rehab and re-home all of our rescues to permanent and loving homes and to promote spaying and neutering.
Adopting a friend
We work with veterinarians, other rescue organizations and volunteers to care for and place the rescues in appropriate homes. All applicants are carefully screened and must meet certain qualifications before placement. You must be 21 years of age in order to fill out an application. Submitting an application does not guarantee adoption. All of the rescues are vetted, spayed/neutered and current on vaccinations before placement.
If adopting a Standard Poodle please consider that they do not shed and require regular grooming and the cost may range from 50 to 70 dollars. Toy poodles 25 to 30 dollars. Grooming should be done every 6 to 8 weeks. Their ears must be cleaned on a weekly basis and the hair inside the ear should be plucked monthly to avoid any ear problems. They do require regular brushing and bathing.
Standard Poodle's are very proud, elegant, highly intelligent and one of the most trainable breeds. They enjoy human companionship and do not like to be alone. They are wonderful indoor companions and do require some exercise. Our fosters are in homes, in a family environment that provide love and understanding. The time spent in foster care provides the animal with an adjustment period before placement. This time will vary from a few weeks to a few months.
We do not take aggressive dogs or biters. We do not ship any of our rescues.
