Patrick is a darling black, nine month old St. Poodle puppy. I was told he had cataracts from the person who had him and no longer wanted him.
When I took he to my vet to be neutered and vaccinated, he was diagnosed with Nystagmus. This could be a lesion on the brain or it could be an inner ear infection. At the moment, he is on antibiotic and prednisone for 30 days and will then be re-checked for any improvement. Meanwhile, since he does see some, he is frolicking and running outside with other residents of The Poodle Ranch. He is eating good, loves attention and is a sweet boy.
Nystagmus is a rapid fluttering of the eyes, either up and down or side to side. It does affect the vision, but not the Poodle spirit. Patrick is a very nice Poodle and will make a good companion in the right home. With some obedience training and a lot of love, Patrick can have a great life.

Heart of America Poodle and Friends K 9 Rescue!
Adoption fee-The adoption fee starts at $150.00 and may vary for individual dogs.
All are spay/neutered, vaccinated, including bordetella. Some get their teeth cleaned and polished, some are treated for heart worms. Puppies get age appropriate vaccinations. All dogs, 6 months or older are tested for heart worms. All of the dogs get a collar and leash and each dog is micro chipped with an Avid Friend Chip.
I am a private citizen, with no funding. The adoption fee keeps my program going.
I crate train all the dogs in my care. Because I have many, I am unable to housetrain them. Occasionally I get a dog surrendered by the owner. This dog may or may not be housetrained. It will be the adoptive family?s responsibility to housetrain. If you are not comfortable with this, it is best that you do not adopt a dog. All dogs will have an occasional accident in the house.
To the best of my knowledge, and with the help of my vet, all dogs in my care are healthy and vaccinated at the time of they become available for adoption. At no time would I knowingly place a sick dog in a new home. If the dog has an on-going health issue, then the adopting family would know this at the time of adoption and agree to make sure that their new companion would get the treatment he/she needed.
