Oodles of Poodles Club

Wanted: foster carers for small low allergenic dogs in the ACT. These poodles, Maltese, shih tsu and their crosses are usually adopted from the local and regional pounds or surrendered to Oodles of Poodles by their owners who can no longer keep them. Oodles of Poodles supports foster carers to rehabilitate these dogs by providing vet care, bedding, harnesses and leads etc. and advice on behavioural retraining as well as general support. Foster carers provide food, a safe, happy environment and behavioural and social training (with support and advice) if necessary. Our foster carers ideally already have one or more inside dogs and are interested in rehabilitating a small dog over a period of up to three months until it is rehomed by us. Oodles of Poodles likes to meet potential foster carers in their home before placing a dog with them. Our foster carers are the key people in our organisation who enable us to take little dogs and prepare them for rehoming into an excellent home.
