Barking news: Dog of the Week

Meet Princess! Princess is a 2 year old white female Poodle mix. She is a sweetie. Her owners had to move and could not keep her. She is active with lots of energy to burn. Princess does not seem to have had much exposure to a leash, so we have been taking her out for walks every day. She is doing well and would benefit from daily walks and playtime with her people. She loves to play with her stuffed toys as long as it’s with you. Princess would do well in a home where someone is home most of the time. She will make a very fun and loving companion. Find out how to meet her at Petslifeline.

FACT: French poodles did not originate in France but in Germany (“poodle” comes from the German pudel orpudelhund, meaning “splashing dog”). Some scholars speculate the poodle’s puffs of hair evolved when hunters shaved the poodle for more efficient swimming, while leaving the pom-poms around the major joints to keep them warm.
